"My mother and I were involved in a head-on collision on a major two-lane highway. A car crossed the yellow line and hit my Sedona head-on. The bad news
is that my Sedona was totalled. The good news is that it protected us. I give the Sedona a 10-star rating and have already put a deposit down on a new one.
Thanks, Kia." --L.E., Russellville, AR

"I have been meaning to write ever since I purchased my new Sorento. I love its looks, size and features. The engine responds quickly and the turning
radius is wonderful. I traded in my Lexus RX 300 SUV to get the Sorento. That car was horribly overrated and overpriced. The Sorento delivers a lot more
for the money." --N.T., Valrico, FL
"The Sorento has a great ride and a superior sound system. This winter I drove it four hours straight through the snow in 4WD with total confidence.
I would recommend to anyone looking for a real SUV to check out the Sorento. Thanks for the memories!" --R.H., Cincinnati, OH

"I felt compelled to write and compliment you on the Kia Amanti. As a former Lincoln Town Car owner, I was impressed with the luxury of
the Amanti - both the ride and the style. I feel safe and sassy driving this great car. I constantly receive compliments on the Amanti from
both friends and strangers. I love my car!!!" --D.H., East Peoria , IL
"Several months ago I was planning to purchase and was arranging financing on a Jaguar. While watching television, however, a commercial
appeared which captured my attention. It was this unknown car. Was it a Jaguar or Mercedes? I did not know. It turned out to be the new Kia Amanti.
The very next day I stopped by our local Kia dealer to see this car for myself before I made a final purchase decision. Well, you know the rest of
the story. I recently returned from a road trip that exceeded 2800 miles. Amanti exceeded my expectations. I felt safe in knowing that the Amanti
was equipped with excellent safety features. The 24 hour roadside assistance assured me that I was only a telephone call away for help. The Amanti
held to the road in terms of acceleration, speed and suspension. The Infinity® sound system, eyeglass holder and all the small features the Amanti
provided help made this an enjoyable and relaxing trip." --C.B., Lake Charles , LA

"I own a Spectra5 and wanted you to know why I bought it. You get a lot of car for the money and it looks good. I should know because I spent
a lot of time looking at cars online. My friends drive the usual Honda's and I wanted something different. They like the leg room and its torque
power. My mom liked the side airbags so she offered to help me with the down. My payments are good and so is the car. Thanks." --J.H. - San Diego, CA

"We just purchased a Rio for our daughter. She starts school at the end of the month and wanted her to have a new car that was safe and affordable.
Why buy a used car when you can buy new, for the same price? Where else on earth are you going to get a warranty like that? Nowhere!" --R.S., Dallas, TX
"Being a single mom with two kids I have never been able to afford a new car before. My new Rio payments will be lower than my total repair bills on my other car.
Thanks for making cars affordable and reliable." --S.G., Crystal Lake, IL
"Driving my Rio puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. I have owned a mini-van for about 12 years, and wasn't sure if I'd miss driving
one. I don't. The Rio handles well, has great mileage, an awesome sound system, and is the most versatile vehicle I've ever owned. I can have the back seats up,
one or the other sides down, or both seats down, which enables me to have a flat cargo area that rivals the mini-van. The Rio turns on a dime and is a lot easier
to handle. I know I made the right decision to buy a Kia and wouldn't hesitate recommending this great car to anyone." --L.W., Minneapolis, MN
