Great Customer Review!

Colton Gittens sold us a 2011 Kia Sorento last Friday night. It was the most
pleasant car buying experience I have EVER HAD! No pressure to buy now
but I did anyway.  He knew every gadget on that car and how to use
it, I was so impressed. He remembered my name every time I came
into the store and asked what could he help me with. He bought me two
Dr. Peppers and even set up service for our 2004 KIA Sorento. (We
dropped it off the night before) I can't say enough about him and the
others who treated us so well. The manager said, "lets wrap it up
tonight, if the numbers work for you you'll buy it." "If they
don't work, we'll still part friends." No back and forth on the price for
hours! The numbers worked, we bought it, just a few short minutes
later we were driving our new KIA home. We will never go anywhere else!
I feel we have made friends in the car business.

Test Drove Kia Forte

   A few days ago I went in to Young Kia in Kaysville, Utah to try out the new Kia Forte. The dealership was very nice and all the sales people are extremely helpful! The Kia Forte is a great car for me. It is a smaller economy size car but still had enough room for me to fit in it (I'm pretty tall). The salesman at Young Kia in Kaysville was very helpfull and listened to all my concerns and needs in a vehicle. It was his idea that I test drive the Kia Forte.
 





   This being the first time I had visited a Kia dealership I had a lot of questions.  The Kia Forte gets amazing gas mileage and is a very smooth drive.  The interior was really nice!  The seats were comfortable and the colors that the Forte has inside are very appealing. The basic stereo that comes in the Kia Forte has XM Radio! That has all my favorite stations on it.  

   The salesman at Young Kia was great at explaining all the features and told me about the amazing warranty that Young Kia offers.  Going to Young Kia in Kaysville, Utah was a great experience and so far Kia is my favorite car brand that I have test drove.
 
Thank You Young Kia!!

KIA RIO 5 Door - AMAZING!

 In my line of work as a new car automotive expert I get the opportunity to drive many different vehicles.  The category of vehicle I am usually not very enthusiastic to drive is the subcompact category.  These vehicles usually feel like big go karts.  They usually dont absorb any road noise which makes it hard to just have a discussion and you can usually feel every rock in the road.  THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR THE ALL NEW 2012 KIA RIO!  This vehicle is hands down the best subcompact car on the market.  It is very rare to get my wife excited about vehicles but this one she wanted to keep!  Just take a look at the styling and you can tell its going to be a great vehicle.


 With its aggressive styling you feel like you are getting a sports car and believe me as I toured around Salt lake City, Utah  this little car turned heads.  Pulling out of the Young Kia parking lot I was surprised at how sturdy this little car felt.  As I drove around some of the pot holed streets of Kaysville Utah I didn't feel like the vehicle was going to break if I hit another one, in fact I though this vehicle held up almost as well as some of the smaller SUV's that I have driven.


This vehicle also has plenty of head room and can easily fit a taller person.  The rear seat is also quite impressive.  What I think my wife loved about the vehicle, aside from the cute and sporty exterior, was the amazing amount of features that this vehicle came with.  To really test this vehicle out I took out the base model of the Rio 5 starting at just $13,600!  This vehicle has steering wheel controls, USB and Aux Ports, an awesome radio and standard power locks and windows.  Check it out at youngkia.com!



All of the materials in the vehicle are all solid fabrics and plastics that you can feel are not going to fall apart and live up to the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty that backs this amazing vehicle.  To top off all of these features on this New KIA Rio for sale is this: A HUGE TRUNK!

And the 5th Door

 There aren't many sub compact cars out there that I walk away from saying "wow that is a game changer" and the Kia Rio at Young Kia did just that!  You need to come down and just check it out.  It is an amazing ride with an amazing look.  Young Kia has a huge selection of these and they are a great deal.

I recently bought myself a new Kia Sportage from Young Kia in Kaysville, UT. I came to Young Kia in Kaysville because the last couple years I have been noticing the great new looks in Kia cars and have been hearing great things about them. I live in the Davis county area and went to Young Kia in Kaysville. Young Kia customer service was great and the staff was extremely friendly and I had a great experience.
As for the new Kia Sportage, it has been one of my favorite cars I have driven! I live in Kaysville, in Davis county and definitely need a car that can handle the winters here. The all wheel drive on the Kia Sportage lets me go wherever I need to, even in some of the worst conditions around Utah. The Sportage also has some other awesome features that I love. The center console has a great navigation system with a screen in the center which makes navigating, choosing music, syncing my phone via bluetooth for hands-free use, and using Sirius XM radio a lot of fun. The new Kia Sportage is a great car and I'm really impressed with Kia and am excited to see what's next for the company. You definitely should head down to Young Kia in Kaysville and test drive a Sportage and I know you will fall in love.
I also just took my Kia Sportage Snowboarding to a nearby resort. I just got new snow tires put on my Kia Sportage at Young Kia in Kaysville UT, so the Sportage handled the snowy roads in the resort great!

DETROIT — 2011 was a record-shattering year for Kia Motors America (KMA) that saw record sales every month, more awards and accolades for its vehicles and the Kia brand than ever before, and the 17th straight year of increased market share to an all-time high of 3.8 percent as the company broke its annual sales record with 485,492 units sold.  Additionally, Kia achieved several important milestones, including a 36.3-percent increase in year-over-year sales; the start of U.S. production of the popular Optima midsize sedan; creation of 1,000 new jobs and the addition of a third shift at Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia (KMMG); winning the brand’s first-ever motorsports championships in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge; and expanded brand visibility through a partnership with basketball all-star Blake Griffin, who famously leaped over an Optima to become the 2011 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest champion and now serves as a global ambassador for the brand.
  • Fast-Growing Brand Surpasses All-Time Best Annual Sales in Less than Nine Months and Records 17th Consecutive Year of Increased Market Share.
  • Kia completes the most aggressive new product launch cycle in the industry – nine vehicles in less than three years – and delivers a 36.3-percent year-over-year sales increase — New partnerships with NBA superstar Blake Griffin and the LPGA and one of the most widely viewed viral videos in the world improve brand awareness, perception and consideration.

Kia Sorento - The Best SUV has arrived!

This week we got out in the Kia Sorento.  This new body style has the flare to turn heads and the functionality to accomodate any SUV need.



As we drove the Kia Sorento around Layton and Kaysville Utah you can really get a feel of the handeling.  It has tighter handling than the typical SUV which makes for great handling.  The cock pit is very comfortable and easy to control everything right from the steering wheel.


When you first start to play with the controls on the steering wheel they look to large and maybe even to clunky but as you begin to use them you really find out how easy it is to reach and control.  

The Kia Sorento is also great for head room.  Being a shorter person I usually dont run into this difficulty; however, sitting in the Sorento I noticed a large area above my head on how large it felt as I got into the vehicle.  


I also had the opportunity to drive this through down town Salt Lake City and test drive it on these busy street.  After easily parking because of the higher raised seat so you can see over the dash, you could tell that not one detail has been left out.  In the back you have a huge space for whatever you might need to store, and if you still need a little more space the seats easily come down with handles on top.


Another awesome feature in the back is that if you want to recline or push your seat up just a bit there are a couple of different adjustments that you can make to your seat.  For Utah the Kia Sorento with its for wheel drive has been a top sales pick and deserves the highest rating for our Utah weather.  As a top safety pick you need to stop by Young Kia in Kaysville or visit them online at youngkia.com to test drive the new Kia Sorento.
