    2011 Kia Forte - EX (M6) Hatchback

    Submitted on 10/26/2011 5:28:38 AM
    Summary
    This car is great in the city and on the highway. It is pretty quiet and holds up well to crosswinds (50 mph winds). Fuel economy could be a bit better. Do average 30 MPG for combined city/highway driving.

    2006 Kia Sorento

    Summary

    GREAT Vehicle

    Pros: Comfortable seating and 'zippy' acceleration

    Cons: Gas mileage!

    This Kia has never been in the shop for any thing other than routine and regular maintenance. It has never failed to start (FL heat necessitated a new battery recently) and runs on a variety of surfaces very well...it can be taken off-road but it has not been.

    2011 Kia Optima

    Summary

    Sweet Ride

    Pros: Styling

    Cons: N/A

    We have only owned the car for 2 weeks and have yet to make a 'trip' in it, but after driving small SUVs and 'little toy cars' for many years, this appears to be an excellent car...especially when factoring in the price.

    2005 Kia Sorento

    Submitted on 3/26/2011 5:15:41 PM
    Summary

    Cons: I wish it had heat and ac both front and back.

    I love my KIA. I bought it used with 17000 miles. I love being able to call the shop if I have a problem and getting right in and getting it fixed. The only problem I have had is my tail lights kept blowing out. They finally put in a heavy duty plug and haven't had a problem since. I also had a sensor go out and it took a couple of days to fix it or get the part, but I was on a trip anyway, so it still wasn't a problem.

    2006 Kia Sportage

    Submitted on 3/8/2011 9:58:21 PM
    Summary
    Loved the car when I bought it. Very comfortable great performance. We are selling it because we have 129,000 miles on it and last year I spent $2600 in repairs and this year already $600. Kia repair shops are by far the worse i have ever dealt with. Many times took it back two and tree times to get the same thing fixed. After $3000 miles took it in for my first oil change. They did something wrong and it threw a rod because of it. Had to replace the engine. Of course it was on guarantee but that was just the beginning. Will never own another Kia.

    2011 Kia Sorento

    Summary

    Car Reviews

    Pros: Most features, best priced, highest quality product available.

    Cons: NOTHING!

    I love my Sorento! I researched 10+ SUV's and this one is hands down the best value out there in terms of overall quality and eye catching design. Gotta love the 10 Year Warranty. I bought mine from Jim Butler, Kia and dealt with Andrew and got it at a great value.
