Up for sale is my 2008 Kia Sportage LX 2WD powered by a 140-horsepower, 2.0L four-cylinder engine and a four-speed automatic transmission.  I think this is a great little car to zip around town and yet hauls a surprising amount in the rear cargo area.  This is an extremely reliable car.  I purchased it when it was 4 months old and it had less than 4,000 miles when I bought it.  As you can see it has about 38,000 miles on it now.  Nothing has gone wrong with this car in the over 4 years I have owned it and nothing is wrong with the car now.  I have had the normal maintenance done (yearly Oil Changes and Air Filters when called for).  I have all maintenance records.  Never been smoked in and never been in an accident.  Four new Hankook tires at 32,000 miles so you won’t have to worry about tires for a long time.  The body and interior is excellent.  Only one small door ding on the entire car (right rear fender, in pictures) but you will be hard pressed to see it.  You will not find a 2008 Kia in better condition.  This is a great car and is a perfect small SUV for a family and light hauler.  Though not the most powerful car you can buy, it is very smooth and drivable at interstate highway speeds.  Not a lot of fancy electronics and gadgets, just a reliable and practical transportation vehicle.

 

The Sportage has fuel economy ratings of 20 mpg city, 25 highway.  Very inexpensive to own and maintain.  Normal maintenance is just the usual oil change every 7,500 miles or every year.

Four-wheel independent suspension for crisp handling on the road, yet long wheel travel and good ground clearance allows it to have some measure of off-road ability.  Inside, the Sportage has space for five adults, with a "Drop & Fold" rear seat that folds down completely, allowing a flat, expanded cargo floor. A fold-flat front passenger seat also helps with especially long loads, or as a work table for the driver when parked. Both of the front seats can be reclined all the way back to meet the rear cushions. With the back seat folded, the Sportage has a cargo capacity of nearly 67 cubic feet.  The rear cargo area also includes an under-floor cargo tray and tie-down anchors built into the floor.  The rear hatch can be opened fully or just the rear window can be opened separately for loading groceries or other small items.  Other interior extras include a center console with a two-stage tray, a lockable glovebox, map and cup holders for all doors, and a rear-seat central armrest.  The Sportage includes standard roof rails with adjustable cross racks, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, and a CD sound system.  Front seat-mounted side air bags, full-length side curtain bags, four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock, and electronic stability control are all on the standard-features.  The Sportage includes a power train warranty for ten years or 100,000 miles.

2014 Kia Optima Hybrid shows its freshened face

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Think back to the 2013 New York Auto Show, and you'll recall that the already attractive Kia Optima midsize sedan was re-schnozzed for the 2014 model year. The hybrid version was left alone, visually, though its powertrain was updated to provide more oomph and slightly better fuel economy. And now, the whole thing comes full circle - the fresh-faced 2014 Optima Hybrid is making its debut here at the Chicago Auto Show.
The new look is really the only news here, with a reworked front fascia that combines restyled Hybrid-specific LED lighting elements and new enhancements that Kia says improves aerodynamics. A similar touch-up has been given to the rear end, and new 16- and 17-inch wheel designs are also available.
Under the hood, the Optima Hybrid's powertrain is unchanged, the four-cylinder gasoline-electric system still putting out a combined 199 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is also unchanged for 2014, with the LX model estimated to achieve 36/40/38 miles per gallon (city/highway/combined), and the higher-grade EX estimated to net 35/39/37 mpg.

2015 Kia Soul EV Prototype

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Spend a few days chatting with the good people of Seoul about their neighbors to the north, and you'll find a pattern emerges. When they first start talking, South Korea's citizenry speaks openly and ardently about seeking reunification with their North Korean brothers and sisters. Yet once you get beyond casual conversation, you'll find that those hopes and wishes aren't all that they first appear to be. Quite reasonably - and despite everyone's best intentions - there's genuine fear that opening the border with communist North Korea would severely tax South Korea's finances, infrastructure and daily lives. It's almost as if reunification feels like something the general public has to say they want, even if they're really not buying into the reality.
It's kind of like the way American consumers and the media have been crying out for electric and hybrid automobiles, yet when it comes time to vote with their pocketbooks, their hearts just aren't in it. There are potential financial and infrastructure concerns, along with lingering worries about how well EVs will integrate into their daily lives. Today, hybrids and plug-ins make up about three percent of new vehicle sales, and the vast majority of those models are gas-electric models - one in particular. Pure electrics aren't yet even a drop in a very large bucket. It's exactly this uncomfortable dichotomy that rings in our heads as we drive through the traffic in Namyang at the wheel of a 2015 Kia Soul EV prototype.
Of course, one can't blame Kia for developing an electric car - it has California's zero-emissions mandates to meet, regardless of whether the segment's sales suggest there's a sound financial strategy attached. Kia officials we spoke with at this early drive of the company's electrified 'box' car seemed to tacitly acknowledge the Soul EV's difficult business case, but pointed to the company's effort to reduce its CO2 output as part of its reason for being. And besides, their beancounters' industry-wide projection for global EV sales in 2018 is 600,000 units, so there's got to be room to grow, right?

Kia's second Super Bowl commercial lets booth professionals have their revenge

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

This is more like it, Kia. After last year's highly successful Adriana Lima-infused Super Bowl commercial for the Optima, we weren't that impressed with this year's Super Bowl ad for the new Sorento called Space Babies that Kia showed us earlier in the week. Its second spot for this year's big game, however, gave us a chuckle.
Called Hotbots and starring Miss USA Alyssa Campanella as a futuristic robot, the ad plays out a fantasy that we know for certain has crossed the minds of many booth professionals. These are the attractive set of women and men who plant themselves next to new cars at auto shows. More than just eye candy, they're usually extremely well educated on the product's specs and features. Despite that fact, they have to put up with constant oogling and questions like, "Do you come with the car?" What this T-1000 won't put up with is fingerprints on her shiny new 2014 Kia Forte, and she does something about it. Watch for yourself below.
