Kia Forte gets the stamp of approval

I was looking around at the news earlier today and came across this great test drive review of the Kia Forte on USAToday.com. As

I remember the Waukegan Kia Forte test drive I took about a month ago. This review highlights one of the great things about the Forte, its user-friendliness. Everything in the Forte seems designed with the driver and passengers in mind. Isn’t that how a car is supposed to be after all. This article makes another good point that the Kia Forte’s engine provides a better driving experience than its competitors. And at such an affodable price, after taking one for a spin at a local Waukegan dealer, I would have to think car buyers will feel like they’ve found a secret value in the Kia Forte.

Kia Soul Tops in Safety and Value

The late great James Brown had me pegged because I’m a Kia Soul man do do do do do do do. Let me explain. Naturally, when buying a car one must consider what they are looking for. Personally, the two most important factors as far as I’m concerned are value and safety. Warning, if value and safety are not important to you when purchasing a car, you are unlike just about every other car shopper, and this blog post may not be for you. But if you’re like most car buyers walking around area Waukegan dealers, either value, safety or both are the key factors in making a purchasing decision.

Kia has long been a fan favorite with their ridiculous 10-year, 100,000 mile warranty. Combine that with the new Kia Soul going for as low as under $14k, and you have the definition of value.
Like the time I fit 78 M&Ms in my mouth at once, Kia’s warranty and value is forever impressive but has been a story told to death. The real story here  with the Chicago Kia Soul is safety. The most respected worldwide companies in terms of car safety evaluation all have the Kia Soul at the top of the list. … Continue Reading

A Day in my Kia Soul

With all of the hype and excitement surrounding the new Kia Soul, I figured it would be a good idea to get a first-hand opinion of someone who actually drives one of these things, to find out what it’s really like. So I asked one of my good friends, who already drives the Soul, to give us a little insight into her daily life with her new favorite addition.

9:30am- So, I woke up this morning to a b-e-a-utiful summer Chicago morning. Not too common these days, so I figure I have to take advantage. I call up four of  my friends and we pile into my new Chicago Kia Soul and head off into the city.

Kia Soul Does Well in Crash Test

Though still awaiting its grades in U.S. crash results, the 2010 Kia Soul got very high marks in European crash tests recently.
