Broadway Kia - Two (5) Star Reviews on DealerRater

• I came in after my car broke down, needing to buy a new vehicle as soon as possible. I had done a little initial research online and thought I was interested in a Sportage, but when I came in April showed me a few other models. I ended up test driving and loving the Rio hatchback. I was worried about financing because I had no money for a down payment and my credit history was a little shady, but they worked with me smoothly and efficiently to get me a price and a payment that I felt comfotable with. So in less than two hours, I am driving off the lot with a new car that is everything I need and more! -Beksann

• April was great, I told her what style car I wanted and the first one she showed me was exactly what I wanted. Overall, I'm a satisfied customer. The process was quicker than past experiences from other dealerships. -Olivesin3s
  

It defies what an average midsize sedan should be. The Optima was already the best; now it's even better.

2013 Kia Sportage SX FWD First Drive

Consumers tend to be thrilled when they can get features and style of much more expensive models in a wallet-friendly package and the 2013 Kia Sportage SX is a perfect example of the Korean brand's value-packed reputation. For the traditionally staid compact crossover class, the Sportage's styling is daring and edgy. Beefy 18-inch wheels and 235-width tires bulge out of the Sportage's short 103.9-inch wheelbase. Around back, dual exhaust tips signify this is the hot-rod SX turbo model.

Since it was introduced in 2011, Kia has made a few running changes to the Sportage SX. Fuel capacity has grown from 14.5 to a still-modest 15.3 gallons and highway fuel economy has improved by 2 mpg on the FWD model and 1 mpg on the AWD model to 29 and 26 mpg, respectively.

It may be a bit of a stretch to compare the Sportage SX to the much more expensive, exclusive, and refined Range Rover Evoque, but looking over the spec sheets, there are similiarties. Both are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4, overall length is within four inches between the two models, and the difference in wheelbase is less than an inch. But there's a big difference where it matters for a lot of consumers: the bottom line. The Sportage starts at over $16,000 less than the Evoque. Even at the Sportage's lower price point, you get ample equipment that includes dual-zone climate control, a power-adjustable driver's seat, leather seating surfaces, LED driving lights, and pushbutton start. Our fully loaded FWD SX tester included navigation with a backup camera and the Premium Package, which adds heated front seats, an air-cooled driver's seat, Homelink integrated garage door opener, and heated exterior mirrors.

Now we know that the Sportage SX doesn't skimp on the goodies, but what's it like to drive? A similarly-equipped 2011 SX FWD model we tested managed a 0-60 time of 7.3 seconds and a quarter-mile of 15.7 seconds at 88.6 mph. Those numbers are not quite as good as the Toyota RAV4 V-6, the current reigning speed champ of compact SUVs, but in real-world driving conditions, the Sportage's 260-hp engine never leaves you yearning for more power. The engine's broad, flat torque curve peaks at 269 lb-ft and provides ample rotational force from 2000-5000 rpm, making highway merging and passing a breeze. Just don't expect Lexus-like refinement from this feisty mill. Compared to the more common applications of the powerplant in the Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata and new Santa Fe Sport, the engine's forced-induction character is not masked and muffled as much as it is in the others. The turbo's whooshing sound under boost is clearly audible, but considering the Sportage SX's market positioning, product planners probably figured a little bit of boy-racer personality coming through wasn't the worst thing.

Kia fitted the Sportage SX with aggressive, low-profile rubber so between that and its short wheelbase, there's no reason to expect a pillowy ride. In fact, it's a bit on the bouncy side -- not annoyingly or objectionably so, but enough to definitely get a clear sense of the road texture and topography. Also, quick transitions with elevation changes can sometimes upset the Sportage's balance. And the one downside to the torquey turbo four is that at wide-open-throttle on our FWD model, it does exhibit some torque steer, and can feel a little squirrely at full whack.

Getting back to the interior, while it's undeniably jam-packed with features, the Sportage's humble roots show in some areas of the design. The driver's power adjustable front seat cushion does not uniformly lift or lower -- the rear of the seat cushion moves up and down, with the seat pivoting at the front. The outside temperature gauge is counter-intuitively embedded within the "trip" menu, which is accessed by a pair of small buttons on the left edge of the gauge binnacle. Somewhat surprisingly, given that this is a compact-sized crossover, it's a bit of a stretch to reach the touch-screen head unit.

Ultimate cargo and passenger volume falls a little short of the class leaders, the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, but that may be beside the point. Objectively, the Sportage may be in the same class as the Honda and Toyota, but its bold styling is a stark contrast to the Honda and Toyota's conservative lines. And the SX model, with its powerful turbocharged engine, will likely appeal to a totally different buyer than even the RAV4 V-6. The CR-V and RAV4 may be the perfect starter cars for young families, but the Sportage SX is clearly targeted to singles and couples that aren't totally ready to give up style and power as they transition into adult and familial responsibilities.

If you're in the market for a small crossover that packs plenty of style and power into a package that won't stress your monthly budget or credit score, the Kia Sportage SX is an attractive choice in a class generally characterized by anonymous styling and function over flair.

Hey fans! Here is a Monday Maintenance tip for you!

Keep The Caps On

• You step out into driveway ready to start your morning commute only to discover a flat tire. How in the heck did that happen overnight? If the tire valve is missing its cap, the culprit might be a leaky valve. Those little caps keep out dirt and moisture that can cause leaks, so be sure to keep caps on all your tire valves. Another tip: When you replace tires, remind the tire shop that you expect new valves with the tires.

From Kia's humble beginning making bicycles to their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in West Point, Georgia, Kia has come a long way in the last 60 years.

Want to turn some heads? Then come into Broadway Kia and test drive this all-new 2013 Kia Optima and make your desires a reality!

Kia'S SX Limited Model Has Near-Luxury Image Without The Overhead

The Kia Optima is a long and lean midsize sedan that brought more affluent customers to the brand.

And of the 11 vehicles in the lineup, the Optima is now Kia's best-selling car, with the Sorento crossover close behind. That's a growth statement from this Korean carmaker that built a foundation on scrappy economy cars.

For 2013, Kia builds on Optima's popularity and adds a more luxurious trim level, the SX Limited (SXL). Based on the top-line SX, the Limited has a starting price of $27,575, including the $775 freight charge from Korea. And to make it a Limited requires the Touring package ($2,950), the Technology package ($1,400) and the Limited package ($3,350). All totaled, the final price comes to $35,275.

Unique features include 18-inch chrome wheels showcased by red brake calipers, LED daytime running lights, more chrome, a black cloth headliner and Nappa leather upholstery, an electric parking brake and a first aid kit.

The Touring package adds such extras as a panoramic sunroof, eight-speaker Infinity audio system, rearview camera, power front passenger seat (but still without height adjustment), heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats (at the windows). The Tech package adds a navigation system.

The basic bones of the Optima SX are a 274-horsepower, 2.0-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder and six-speed Sportmatic transmission, which return fuel economy of 22 mpg city and 34 highway on regular unleaded.

The Optima is lively to drive with brisk acceleration and an athletic suspension, but not too hard. It is nimble in tight quarters with an equally tight 35.8-foot turning circle.

Nappa leather is softer and has a more "premium" feel, Kia says. And there have been notable other interior enhancements, including padding on the front door armrests. It is a comfortable long-distance cruiser with supportive seats and room to spread out, but at $35,000 it is an omission that the passenger seat does not have height adjustment.

The SXL has the look and feel of luxury without the price. And the buyer drives off in a contemporary sedan that looks special and overdelivers on features.

Welcome back to the work week fans! This week we have a maintenance tip to help you keep your floor mats looking brand new!

For Stubborn Carpet or Mat Stains

• After vacuuming floor mats or interior carpeting, apply foam rug cleaner to resistant stains as directed by the maker. Work the foam into a few square feet at a time, using a wet sponge or brush. Vacuum when they are all dry.

A big thank you goes out to Patrick for this outstanding review! Keep up the great work Will!

Broadway Kia - (5) Star Review on DealerRater

• We arrived at Broadway Kia with the intention at only looking at the new Kia Soul. Upon entering the lot on the north side of Broadway, we were greeted by a young man by the name of Will. He was very courteous and asked if he could assist us in any way. We were looking at one Soul and he said he would get the keyes so we could see inside. After looking at the vehicle we walked across the street where they had a used Soul that my wife liked. Will said he would get the keys. Upon returning, he explained every detail about the car. He was very well versed about the car and always spoke in a very professional manner. After we test drove the vehicle, Jim, the Sales Manager, came by and spoke to us and offered to give us a quote on the vehicle. We went inside and Will made sure we were vey comfortable all the time we were there. During our conversation with Jim, my wife said she was sceptical about the road noise. Jim expained the improvements that had been made to reduce the road noice and suggested to Will that he take us for another testdrive on the freeway. All the time we were gone Will continued to explain the features of the Soul. When we returned, we exchanged the appropriate information, an offer was made by both parties and the sale was finalized. I told Will I was very impressed with his professionalism and the way he portrayed himself. The whole experience was simply great. Will is an exceptional sales person. Had he not been there, there's a good chance we would still be looking for a new vehicle. We will surely recommend Wll and Broadway Kia to our friends. -Patrick S.

2013 Kia Rio SX 5-Door Will Offer 6-Speed Manual Transmission Option

Aimed at drivers who prefer to shift for themselves, the 2013 Kia Rio SX 5-door will be available for the first time with a 6-speed manual transmission in place of the 6-speed automatic that's normally standard issue in the top-line Rio model. Inspired by the automaker's recently-introduced Rio LX-based "B-spec" race car, this newest addition to the lineup will only be available in limited numbers - less than 500 units - for the 2013 model year. However, depending on the level of consumer response, that number could easily be increased to meet demand.

Priced at $18,650, the 2013 Kia Rio SX M/T is available in Signal Red and Electronic Blue. Like all Rio variants, it's powered by a 1.6-liter/138-horse 4-cylinder engine and like its SX-spec siblings, the M/T features a sport-tuned suspension, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and 205/45 tires on 17-inch alloy wheels as well as an AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with SiriusXM Satellite Radio, a navigation system with a 7.0-inch touchscreen and real-time SiriusXM 7 Traffic, Bluetooth and a rear camera display.

Although the new Kia Rio 5-door SX M/T is being introduced to fill a modest but meaningful niche, Orth Hedrick, director of Product Planning at Kia Motors America, indicated that it could serve as a precursor to similar types of driver-focused premium-featured products in the company's lineup. "Our customers and the automotive press have been asking for the Rio 5-door SX with a manual transmission, and we've listened. As the Kia brand becomes more and more relevant to enthusiasts, we'll continue to evaluate consumer demand and consider bringing other high-spec manuals to market."

Broadway Kia - (5) Star Review on DealerRater

• Will was very helpful during our visit to Broadway Kia and we purchased a car before our visit was over. He was extremely friendly, helpful, courteous. We found him to be very honest (which to be candid, is not always what we would expect). He made us feel very comfortable and that he valued our time and our business. Despite being new to the industry, i am sure he will be successful in this field or any other. -jmkolbet66

Welcome back to the work week fans! Here is a maintenance tip to help keep your car interior looking fresh!

Clean the inside, too

• Vacuum and sponge your interior every time you wash your car. Dirt particles are abrasive, and spilled liquids, such as soda, can be corrosive. Vacuum your interior thoroughly with a powerful vacuum (small cordless models are generally too weak). Use the appropriate wand heads when vacuuming. The bare metal wand can mar and scratch surfaces. Sponge vinyl surfaces clean with a solution of mild detergent and water.

Broadway Kia - (5) Star Review on DealerRater

• This is the second new Kia we’ve purchased from Broadway Kia. We visited other car dealers and none compared to the customer service and quality of Broadway Kia. We were so relaxed and comfortable because of their honest approach and our salesman, Will, is truly top-of-the-line with customer service, salesmanship and knowledge of the car. He worked very hard getting us the price we wanted and the payments we wanted and he was so patient teaching us how to program and use all the new technologies. We will return and buy our next new car from them. I also like the way they give us a personal telephone call to see if we have any questions or concerns since we purchased the Kia instead of an impersonal email. -babetteg

I had to bring the car in to be detailed due to Starbucks drive thru inability to secure the lid on my coffee , they did a great job getting the coffe out of the upholstery and making my car once again show room new. they had misplaced my key when I went to pick my car up after hours and the customer service was way above and beyond.

Rear-Engined Kia Cee'D Made By Mito Motorsports

A one-off extreme Kia Cee'd, with a rear engine and a lot of power, has been recently unveiled by the engineers at Mito Motorsports.

The Kia Cee'd can be considered just a regular car which is an interesting alternative to the VW Golf and other vehicles in the segment but who would have thought that the hatchback has what it takes to end up in a poster on the wall of 10-year old boys. Well, we kind of have the answer to that question and it's a two-word one: Mito Motorsports.

The engineers at Mito Motorsports have recently taken on the Kia Cee'd and what came out can only be named "impressive". According to the company, the Kia Cee'd in question has a dramatic change, which is the engine being moved to the back of the vehicle, meaning that the South Korean hatchback has just become rear-engined.

Besides moving the unit to the other end of the car, the engineers at Mito Motorsports have also pumped it and the 2.0 liter turbo diesel is now generating a total output of 200 horsepower (147 kW), but the company is saying that the output will eventually be increased to 300 HP (220 kW). The rear-engined, rear-wheel drive Cee'd's weight distribution is at 43:57.

Broadway Kia - (3 out of 3) Rating on Google+ Local

• My fiance and I just bought an Optima and a Sorento. We worked with Charlie Newson and Jim Hamman. This was the smoothest car purchase I have ever gone through. We got a fair price on both cars. They treated us well and didn't try to push a bunch of extras. I will definitely visit Broadway KIA the next time I am in the market for a new car. -Kenneth J.
