Do you remember Kia’s catchy commercial advertising the Soul?  The “This and That” ad campaign with those oh-so cute hamsters earned the company an advertising award in 2010 and is serving as an inspiration for a special edition model.

Soul Hamstar Edition

This catchy name plays a bit on the hamster term, buy why the switch to Hamstar?  Well, the special edition Soul has a star in the center of front hood.  Not just any old star, but one that is large and black, sure to catch the eye of other drivers and passengers you’ll encounter on your travels!

There are plenty of other great features as well.  For starters, it will come with a four-speed automatic transmission, similar to what you will find in Classic Kia’s inventory of other models of the Kia Soul, Chicago area residents can check out today.  You’ll also find other aesthetic features that further accent the star design, such as the following:

• Driver and passenger door stripes that are a black matte finish
• Black fender vents
• Fuel door that is blacked out
• Black 18-inch wheels

All these make for one exciting Soul, one that should make anyone lucky enough to get their hands on one very excited!

Other Special Edition Models

The Hamstar version isn’t the only special edition Soul that Kia has brought to the table. It joins others such as the Denim, Dragon, and Ignition that have gone out to drivers.  The Hamstar Soul won’t be here for long, but Kia promises that they will be rolling out other special edition Souls.  The company is committed to keeping the model fresh and exciting and the special models add that extra touch!  For any questions about the Hamstar, please contact your Waukegan pre-owned car dealer, Classic Kia.

We feature not only the Soul, but other new and used Kia models sure to be the perfect fit for you and your family.

Families searching for the perfect auto are looking for vehicles that offer everything from safety features to plenty of cup holders for sippys and bottles.  One vehicle found at your Kia dealer Gurnee is rapidly becoming a top choice for young families across the nation.  The Kia Soul is proving to be a very kid-friendly auto.

Most parents out there are familiar with the popular parenting magazine, Parents. They recently teamed up with Edmunds. com to compile a list of autos that are great options for families.  The cars, SUV’s, hatchbacks, etc that were chosen all had to come equipped with antilock brakes and front, side, and side-curtain air bags.  In addition to those necessary safety features, the autos chosen offer other amenities that parents and guardians find convenient when traveling with their kids!

The Kia Soul, found at your pre owned car Waukegan Kia store, has a feature that I find a necessity, from a parent’s standpoint.  It’s taller, boxy shape will help reduce the chances of bumping your head while strapping a toddler into their seat.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done that on my current sedan since my son transitioned to a front facing seat a year ago!

The Kia Soul also has other features that are handy.  For example, the price is an attractive amount.  The base begins around $13K and the top Sport model tops around $18K.  The gas mileage is really good, saving you less time and money at the pump.  City driving is 26 mpg and highway 31 mpg.  I can take that, for sure!

Going back to safety features, we know it comes with antilock brakes, and plenty of air bags, but it’s also been tested for other things.  For example, it received 5/5 stars for Passenger, Driver, and Side Impact Front crash test results.  This means that in the event of impact in any of these spots, the Soul has more than adequate protection.  Every parent likes to know that what they’re driving their child(ren) around in is safe!

Head to your Kia dealer Gurnee today and see if the Soul is right for you.  If not, they’ll be able to show you many other pre owned car Waukegan models that are also very safe and reliable for you to travel with your precious cargo!

Having the internet at our fingertips makes our lives much easier (and that much more complicated). For business people, this step is very innovative and beneficial; it will allow them to pull out their lap top at any point and shoot a quick e-mail or reference a client’s website.  For others, it’s just a simple luxury. Some things you would never even think of can be done with this addition such as downloading music from iTunes on your iPod touch, watching YouTube videos or staying updated on current news headlines at CNN.com.

Partnered with Hyundai, Kia looks forward to introducing this wireless internet for cars, dubbed WiBro, which most likely will be “jointly developed by KT CORP, a fixed-line Internet operator”. Not only can you access standard internet, drivers would also be able to receive digital movies in their car- sounds safe, huh? Well hopefully the drivers won’t be watching the movies, but for children in the back seat or front-seat passengers, it would be a great feature. In addition, WiBro would allow drivers to stay on top of weather and traffic conditions and receive emergency information.

“WiBro is South Korea’s homegrown technical standard for mobile Internet, based on the WiMax wireless platform developed by the US-based technology company, Intel.” Korea having one third of their population – approximately 16 million- as broadband subscribers, they clearly know what they’re doing. We can only expect the accuracy and speed of the internet to be top notch.

While anxiously awaiting the unveiling of these wireless- internet equipped cars, check out the current Kia lineup at Waukegan dealer, Classic Kia. Whether looking for a pre-owned car Waukegan or a 2010 Chicago Kia Soul, Classic has a great selection to choose from and a friendly staff to assist in answering any questions you may have.
