Nice cars. I work for Kia so I maybe a little biased. Kia has came a long way since Hyundai merger.
Like the emblem change. I wish they would do that to all USA cars.
Enjoy..

thanks bro,

after test-driving this thing I was amazed how big the car was and how good it drove, its the turbo edition which has enough power for a daily. The car is honestly amazing. I have the SS so power isn't really my concern just wanted something reliable and comfortable. Plus couldn't say no to the 100k miles/10 year warranty. It honestly drives so smooth and pulls pretty good. but yeah I can't afford a new Cadillac CTS (Which I really wanted) and didn't want to get a used one, and i dislike anything Dodge. I wouldn't mind the mustang but it comes down to having a comfortable sedan daily driver plus i get great MPGs.
