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 Sportage test drive review

When the new Kia Sportage made its big debut, I made it a point to get over to my Waukegan Kia dealer to give one a test drive. Being a long-time SUV-lover, I figured that I would give the newest addition to the SUV family a try.

I was very pleasantly surprised with what I found from this Kia. From the moment I sat down in the luxurious leather bucket seats I realized that this Kia meant serious business. As I looked around I also noticed that it had enough room for a small army. The interior boasts retractable seats, and when they are down, 67 cubic feet are available for cargo, which is actually more space than some larger SUVs offer. … Continue Reading

Cash for Clunkers puts many area residents in more efficient, reliable cars

The Kia Rio is one of Kia's most fuel efficient Cash for Clunkers vehicles.

Well, we’ve been talking about it for quite sometime now, and the big moment went off without a hitch. Cash for Clunkers, aka CARS (Car Allowance Rebate System) began last week and has been just as successful as expected. In fact, many dealers have already seen increases in sales. Waukegan Kia dealers have already put dozens of clunker-driving customers into new, fuel efficient, vehicles.

The Cash for Clunkers deal has been the topic of discussion for months now and now that it has begun, dealers and customers alike are excited to be experiencing the benefits. As I’m sure everyone knows by now, there are plenty of qualifications that one must meet in order to participate in this program. Your vehicle must achieve only 18 mpg or less, and it must improve a certain amount of mileage, depending on the type of vehicle it is.

And for those who have already stopped in at a Waukegan Kia dealership, they have found that there are plenty of options when trading in your clunker for something more earth-friendly. The Waukegan Kia Spectra is a reliable choice for those looking to trade in their gas-guzzler. The Spectra, starting at just $13,500, gets gas mileage of 23 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway, which are great numbers compared to some of the vehicles being traded in already.

The Waukegan Kia Rio is also one of the best trade-ins available. Starting at just $11,495 with gas mileage of 27 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway, it doesn’t get much better than this. Customers who have already traded in their clunkers for the Rio can attest that this Kia is a great deal and an awesome upgrade.

Waukegan dealers have already made plenty of customers happy about their new fuel-efficient rides, so if you are looking to make the leap and trade in your clunker, Kia has plenty of options for you. Stop in at your local Waukegan dealer to find out if you qualify for Cash for Clunkers, and find out what kind of great deal you can get.
