Broadway KIA - Two (5) Star Reviews on GoogleMaps

• 
  After reviewing the ads for the three local Kia dealerships I found that Broadway Kia had the best deal and largest selection. I called and talked to Jim Hammon to confirm they had the vehicle I was looking for. Then knowing I was going to have to trade in my beloved F150 we drove to the dealership to "just test drive". Once I got there Jim had the vehicle I called about up front and waiting for me. Since Jim took the time to allow me to look at various vehicles to locate exactly what I wanted, I ended up purchasing my new Kia Soul. The sales group at Broadway was willing to negotiate terms in a low pressure environment. They worked together to find me the best deal while maintaining a friendly, no pressure attitude. The sales environment was so good that I drove back the next day to locate some accessories for my new Soul where Jim meet me and once again made me feel at ease. While also taking the time to introduce me to the service staff he confirmed that all their requirement services were completed prior to me leaving. Due to Jim's friendly demeanor to make me feel at ease I will continue to drive my vehicle to Broadway Kia for its regular maintenance. 
• Our experience with Broadway Kia A+. My wife and I came into Broadway Kia to look at a used 2011 Kia Sorento and thanks to Broadway Kia and Derek Benadum my wife and I are proud owners of a BRAND NEW 2012 Kia Sorento. Derek listened to our needs in a new vehicle, understood our budget and got us an awesome deal that we could not pass up. I would recommend Broadway Kia to anyone who is looking for a great car and a hassle free negotiation, just make sure you ask for Derek! -Kevin

Broadway KIA - Five (5) Star Reviews on GoogleMaps

• GREAT VALUE.... I dont like car shopping, and hate the feeling that I get when I go into a dealership and there is a group of salesmen hovering like vultures ready to claim their prey!! I heard that Broadway Kia was different, so I decided to give them a try. When I arrived I was greeted by one person, Flash who was very friendly and personable.....I wanted to look at a new sorento, but it was a little out of my price range. Flash asked me if he could make a sugestion. I ended up buying a beautiful 2011 with low miles and saved 10000. Thank you Broadway Kia for your honest and up front way of doing business. And above all thanks Flash for saving me a ton of money. In the future I will buy all my a cars at Broadway Kia...... -Rudy
• William The whole buying experience was pleasant. Mike Lombard told us that when we came in we would not have to talk to 14 people and it would be easy and quick. He kept his word. Introduced us to the service department and explained that the first oil change was on them. Thumbs up Broadway Kia -Patrecia
• I was very interested in learning about the models of Kias available but was confused about many of the details and options available, I decided to go into Broadway Kia and ask someone for help, when I went in Mike Lombardi introduced himself and took me through each model and answered all my questions in a knowledgable forthright manner, I was very impressed with his attitude and his overall demeaner, if you need someone to answer your questions about kias he is the person to see, THANKS A MILLION! -Jim
• Great SUV! Great experience! My wife and I are very happy with our buying experience at Broadway KIA. We've been looking at SUV crossovers for a while and have been keeping our eye on Foresters, but were not ready to buy. On 11/20/11, while coming back from a Powell's run, we decided to look at what KIA had to offer and stopped into Broadway KIA. We really had no intention to do anything other than price out the offerings, but then we met the very nice sales rep Jerome, who took us for a test drive of the Sportage. We were impressed with the vehicle and liked that Jerome didn't pressure us to make a decision. He just let the Sportage speak for itself, asked us what we were looking for and showed us how the Sportage fit those needs. We decided to work the numbers and see how we could get that particular vehicle. At that point, the sales manager Derek became involved and the fun really started. We had a price point in mind and both Derek and Jerome did everything they could to meet it. Throughout the entire process, I felt they listened to us and did everything they could to accommodate our requirements. In the end, we drove off the lot in a 2012 Sportage that my family loves. Thank you Jerome and Derek. -Roger
• Mario at Broadway Kia was GREAT! My husband and I drove from Eastern Oregon to look at a Optima SX and we were so impressed with the way Mario presented the car that we ended up buying it. We love the car, happy that we went to Broadway. Thank's for the GREAT buying experience!!! -Maria

Blake Griffin Shows His Cool in New 2012 Kia Optima Ads

Because of the NBA lockout, we won’t be hearing Blake Griffin’s sneakers squeaking on the basketball court anytime soon, but we can hear him give some great advice regarding the 2012 Kia Optima.

Earlier this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show   , the towering basketball player made an appearance in a custom basketball-themed Optima. Together, he and Kia’s Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Michael Sprague, introduced two new spots that feature the sly and cunning Griffin talk about Kia’s UVO system and its safety ratings.

Griffin first became the face of Kia when he leaped over the hood of a 2012 Kia Optima for a slam dunk, which allowed him to win the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest. Chances are if the lockout continues, we’ll see much more of Griffin in future Kia promotional materials…

Toyota Begins Corolla Production in Mississippi!

BLUE SPRINGS, Miss. (November 17, 2011) – Toyota team members today celebrated the opening of Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Mississippi (TMMMS), the company’s new $800 million plant outside of Tupelo that assembles the Corolla, the world’s best-selling car of all time. Joining the celebration were Toyota Motor Corporation President Akio Toyoda and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour.

TMMMS is Toyota’s fourteenth North American plant, further advancing the company’s efforts to design, develop and build vehicles where they are sold. The plant has the annual capacity to produce 150,000 vehicles and will employ nearly 2,000. 

Speaking at ceremony, Toyoda said, “Building vehicles where we sell them helps us be even closer to our customers. The U.S. market remains a key to Toyota’s overall success, and Toyota Mississippi will play an important role for us here.”

"Today is a great day for Blue Springs and the entire State of Mississippi," Governor Haley Barbour said. "Toyota chose Mississippi for its dedicated, talented workforce, and I know they will enjoy great success at their newest facility. We are proud to be the home of Toyota, and we look forward to a long and successful relationship with our newest corporate partner."

"Mississippi has provided us with a great workforce who welcomes challenges and are eager to learn,” said Masafumi Hamaguchi, president of TMMMS. “Our slogan is: ‘Always look for the best way, using our pioneer spirit.’ The Mississippi workforce has shown that they have this spirit.”

Toyota’s Buffalo, W. Va., engine plant is supplying all engines for Corolla production at TMMMS. Cylinder heads and blocks for those engines are produced at both of Toyota’s Bodine Aluminum castings plants, located in Troy, Mo., and Jackson, Tenn.

When Toyota announced the Blue Springs project, they also announced a partnership with the CREATE Foundation and a donation of $50 million - $5 million a year for 10 years - was also announced toward an innovative addition to the public school system in the Pontotoc, Union, and Lee counties. The Center for Professional Futures will be an education facility that will expose students in the eight school districts in the PUL Alliance counties in to professional careers through high performance teaching and a modern learning environment.

Broadway Kia - (5) Star Review on GoogleMaps

• I recently went to several local dealerships to test drive SUV's. I was pleasantly surprised at Broadway Kia, Jerome greeted me and my daughter out in the rain, and offered to take us for a test drive. He installed the carseat in the back for me, and also hit the "child lock" button so my daughter couldn't open the door with her foot. I did my financing through them as well and really felt that I got a good deal. All of the employees that I dealt with were very friendly and professional. I ended up buying a new Sorrento and LOVE my new car! I would reccomend them to anyone that is looking for a new Kia (or they had lots of used cars too). -Jessica

• I was very impressed and surprised with my service at Broadway Kia. Bryan was extremely helpful and quickly found a car that best fit me and my needs and one that was in my budget. I was also given a quick refreshment coarse on a 5 speed transmission since I was a little rusty and the car I wanted had one. After the test drive Richard explained the price and monthly payments simpley and painlessly, So I would recommend Broadway Kia to anyone and will return for my next purchase! -Audrey
• Very pleased with the customer service at Broadway KIA, My Salesman Mario was curtious and answered all the questions that I had. He was very professional and efficient and making buying a comfortable process. They even took their time to find me exactly what I wanted since they didn't have it on their lot. It meant a lot to me. -Raymundo

Blake Griffin takes the kia slam dunk to the next level!

New Kia Ray Mini with Sliding Rear Door Introduced in South Korea

See the full gallery on Posterous

South Korea's Hyundai-Kia Group continues to churn out new models like there's no tomorrow.

Today, Kia released the first images of a new A-segment mini called the Ray, which will be sold exclusively in the company’s home market of Korea.

Bypassing its boxy shape that is reminiscent of the Scion xB and Nissan Cube models, one of the highlights of the new Ray is the sliding passenger side rear door that promises to enable easier passenger entry and exit in tight parking spaces, as well as to provide room for bulky cargo.

Interestingly, the Ray features a regular rear door on the driver's side of the vehicle.

Kia adds that its new tall city car has a highly versatile interior space for both passengers and cargo.

The automaker has not yet released any information on the Ray's mechanical hardware.

Another great review from one of our customers. Keep up the good work!

"The buying experience exceeded my expectations. Don't forget that any dealer wants your money, and the more the better, but if you do your research and know what the car is worth then go to Broadway Kia because they'll respect you and work with you to find a fair deal for both of you. Definitely recommend them" - Josh

Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your thoughts with us!

"I am looking to purchase a new vehicle in the next couple of months, so I have been visiting local dealerships to get an idea for what I want. I stopped by Broadway Kia and the sales person, Mo Madani was extremely kind, helpful and knowledgeable about all of the vehicles. He was very responsive to my needs and price range and I have decided on the Kia Rio. When I am ready to make my purchase I will go back to Mo and gladly recommend his service to others!" - Stephanie

Looking for a truly epic ride? Kia has got you covered!

Kia Rio is off to the races, Optima Hybrid selected as pace car

Kia has only been racing for two years, but during this past season of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, the plucky Korean brand recorded both its first-ever first place finish and won the driver and team championships for the entire season. Teams don't usually win their first race and wind up champions in the same season.

So Kia's good at racing, so good in fact that it plans to augment its program with a new B-Spec racer based on the recently redesigned Rio 5-door, as well as introduce a new pace car for the United States Touring Car Championship based on the Kia Optima Hybrid.

The new Rio 5-Door B-Spec racer will be made available to teams to compete in a variety of series, from World Challenge to GRAND-AM to SCCA and NASA events. The car is designed to meet showroom stock class requirements and will cost $14,000 on top of the purchase of a donor Rio 5-Door. Kia's racing partner, Kinetic Motorsports, is selling the kit and will install it for an extra $6,000. The automaker hopes the Rio's fuel efficiency will give it a leg up against competition on the track, which will likely include the Mazda2, Honda Fit and Ford Fiesta, among other showroom stock small cars.

Kia also provides the pace cars for USTCC and has decided that the Soul's run has come to an end. Instead, the 2012 season will see a Kia Optima Hybrid leading the field during warm ups and caution flags. Kia went with GoGoGear.com to get the Optima Hybrid ready for track duty (above). They installed a freer-flowing air intake, Magnaflow exhaust system, coil-over suspension system, front splitter and rear wing. The modifications will likely lower fuel economy a bit, but exposing the Optima Hybrid to a new group of potential buyers might be worth the extra fuel.

Kia takes the gold for Best Total Cost of Ownership!

Kbb.com Reports Vehicle Manufacturers With Best Total Cost of Ownership

Audi, Kia Lead Luxury, Non-Luxury Segments with Minimal Depreciation, Low Fuel Costs

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelley Blue Book www.kbb.com, the leading provider of new car and used car information, today reports the top three luxury and top three non-luxury brands with the lowest average Total Cost of Ownership for the initial five-year ownership period.  Based on Kelley Blue Book's analysis, Audi, Lexus and Cadillac (respectively) top all luxury brands, while Kia, Hyundai and Honda (respectively) dominate among all non-luxury brands for lowest average total ownership costs.

Total Cost of Ownership is developed using Kelley Blue Book® Residual Values to calculate depreciation costs.  Depreciation plays the largest role in Total Cost of Ownership, followed by the cost of fuel during the ownership period.  Kelley Blue Book calculates total ownership costs for new vehicles by applying a sophisticated valuation methodology along with critical financial data from third-party providers.  

By reviewing the Total Cost of Ownership for vehicles on their consideration list, consumers can better understand the overall financial implications associated with vehicle ownership through the initial five-year ownership period.  Kelley Blue Book's Total Cost of Ownership features easy-to-understand charts and graphs on kbb.com to help car shoppers make informed purchase decisions by breaking down the typical ownership costs for a particular vehicle, including depreciation, expected fuel costs, insurance, maintenance and repair costs, state fees and more.  

"The average vehicle typically maintains about 30 percent of its original MSRP after five years of ownership, whereas a handful of vehicles maintain more than 45 percent after the same time period," said Eric Ibara, director of residual value consulting for Kelley Blue Book.  "The new Total Cost of Ownership data on kbb.com is based on Kelley Blue Book Residual Values, which are used by banks and manufacturers nationwide."

At the brand level, Audi and Lexus currently have the lowest depreciation and best fuel economy among luxury brands, giving them an advantage in low cost of ownership at the luxury level.  In addition, Audi, Lexus and Cadillac all offer models that carry a lower MSRP compared to other luxury brands.  Combined with their entry-level vehicles, these brands stand out among their competitors for having low overall ownership cost.  Audi's Total Cost of Ownership success is primarily driven by the A3 2.0T and A4 2.0T sedan models.  Both edge out competitors with their minimal depreciation and stellar fuel economy.  

For non-luxury brands, Kia and Hyundai have a number of successful redesigns, greatly improved quality and competitive pricing, which sets them apart from other non-luxury brands in terms of cost of ownership.  Key Kia models contributing to the brand's low Total Cost of Ownership include the Rio, Optima and Forte.  Additionally, Honda continues to be a reliable choice with strong fuel economy and customer loyalty.  

Top Luxury Brands	Average MSRP	Average Depreciation	Average Total Cost of Ownership (Five-Year Ownership Period)
Audi	$47,506	$33,467	$68,866
Lexus	$55,273	$37,029	$73,605
Cadillac	$53,684	$40,028	$77,680

Top Non-Luxury Brands	Average MSRP	Average Depreciation	Average Total Cost of Ownership (Five-Year Ownership Period)
Kia	$21,643	$15,599	$38,884
Hyundai	$23,359	$16,688	$40,092
Honda	$26,301	$17,120	$40,862

"Kelley Blue Book's Total Cost of Ownership gives car shoppers a realistic view of what they will spend during the initial one- to five-year ownership period, allowing them to get the most for their dollar in today's economy," said Juan Flores, director of vehicle valuation for Kelley Blue Book.  "More informative than simply having the purchase price alone, Total Cost of Ownership empowers car shoppers by including all significant costs that are part of the ownership experience."

Kelley Blue Book's Total Cost of Ownership launched with the redesigned kbb.com in May 2011 and is available free to consumers at www.kbb.com.
