Kia Spectra5 -- 2005 Review: Ten spaces to the left, hidden behind a dark-colored Chevrolet Suburban, sits the 2005 Kia Spectra5, plaintively wailing in response to the red panic button on the remote keyless fob in my hand.
The 2005 Kia Sportage is available for those who love a bargain and a quality car. If you are interested in learning more about the 2005 Kia Sportage models and their unique features, read the following.
If you have been looking around my site you are probably aware of the fact that I really like the 2006 line up from Kia Motors, and the granddaddy of the line is the 2006 Amanti. Now before you say anything negative….cuz I know you are thinking that of Korean made Kia Motors, let me be the first to tell you how awesome this car really is.
The 2006 Kia Rio serves the purpose of providing cheap, basic transportation. If you drive a lot and need an economical car, then the Rio is the car for you.
Ok, if you have been looking around my site you are probably noticing that I REALLY like the new Kia Motors line up of cars for 2006. I bought my wife a Kia Sedona minivan 2 years ago, mainly because it was cheap and the 100,000 mile warranty could not be beat.
With all of the media coverage on redesigned muscle cars and award-winning full-size sedans and SUVs, it would seem that little attention has been paid to the compact and subcompact market.
The 2006 Rio and Rio5 are worth looking at in the compact car market.
First off, I think the world of Kia. They really are taking the car industry by storm, I have no doubt in my mind that Kia will be a major player in the new car market very soon and I have a feeling the other manufactures feel the same way too..and are bracing themselves.
Completely redesigned, the 2006 Kia Sedona minivan is the first of several new products in the pipeline that should polish the company's image in North America once and for all...
This week I have been writing a lot about Kia and their new line up for 2006. I have always been partial to the Japanese’s cars like, Toyota and Honda but I have to admit I am starting to place Kia Motors in the same category as these fine Japanese cars. I like them so much I bought my wife a Sedona mini van even though I have been a die hard Honda Odyssey van guy.

2007 Kia Rondo - First Drive: If you have about $20,000 to spend, don't like compact SUVs and can't be seen in the minivanish Mazda5, then this Kia might just be what you're looking for.

Kia Sorento - 2007 Review: Kia's midsize SUV is the proverbial horse of a different color: Cloaked in a body that looks more like a crossover lives a real, four-wheel drive truck.
The following contains automobile information you should know about the 2007 Kia Sorento. Read this review if you or a loved one is interested in purchasing a car or staying car savvy.
Kia has selected passionate design as the means for separating itself from the pack, and if future production models look anything like the KND-4 Concept, it's an approach that just might prove successful...

Kia Koup Concept Preview - a two-door, front-drive, turbocharged pocket rocket boasting 290 horses and seemingly set to tussle with established players like GTI and Si.
The 2010 Kia Soul brings a new attitude to the Korean automaker's lineup. A far cry from the likes of the stuffy Amanti sedan, the Soul is a five-door urban wagon that neatly outsmarts the likes of the Scion xB and the Nissan Cube with a catchy style, a sharp, well-fitted cabin with plenty of adult room, and a comprehensive list of safety and fun features.
The 2004 Kia Sedona is a great minivan. When my husband (Austin Davis) told me three years ago that we were trading in my Volvo for a minivan, I was so sad. I was thrilled to be expecting our second child and embarking on the unknown career as a full-time mom, but the stigma of driving a minivan made me feel really…well, dumpy. That was until we bought the car, and I learned to love it.
The Kia Amanti is a nice car that delivers exceptional value in its class of larger sedans. The 3.8-liter V6 engine has big, smooth power, the ride quality is near-luxury, and the cabin is whisper-quiet on the road.
The new Kia Borrego does everything right, as a midsize luxury SUV. When weighed entirely and solely against its competition, the Borrego wins. It has excellent cabin and cargo space as a seven-seater, a solid and comfortable ride, terrific acceleration and towing power, and a smooth six-speed transmission in the V8. But midsize SUVs need to get better fuel mileage nowadays, so the trend will be toward smaller turbocharged engines. An all-new SUV using a 337-hp V8 appears to be moving against the incoming tide.

As the most important car that the Korean manufacturer has ever produced, the Kia Cee'd means business, so we drove two rivals to meet the top-spec 1.6-litre CRDi LS head-on.
Kias mid-size Optima sedan gets more horsepower from each of its engines, exterior and interior upgrades and a sportier SX model as part of a 2009 makeover.
Helping its cause further is the stylish Pro_cee'd, which is already introducing new customers to the brand. We've tested the flagship diesel versions, but could this entry-level petrol model be the pick of the lot?
The Rio is more sporty and athletic than the Hyundai Accent, which uses the same basic structure. There's nothing exceptional about Rio's MacPherson strut front suspension or twist-beam rear axle, but Kia designed them for long wheel travel, a characteristic long favored by European automakers for combining a comfortable ride with responsive handling.
The Kia Rio is a roomy car. At 92.2 cubic feet, the subcompact Rio's total passenger volume is comparable to that of the two most popular compacts, the Honda Civic (90.9) and Toyota Corolla (92.0).
Because the Rondo was designed to be roomy on the inside, the wheelbase is long when compared to the total length, making very short overhangs.
When a car company says it would like to send over the newest offering and that it is a mini-minivan called the Rondo, we don't fall off our chairs with excitement. After all, this magazine is devoted to enthusiast cars that offer fuel efficiency, space efficiency, more than adequate performance, good styling and top-notch handling. Not a minuscule vanlike creation priced from $16,500 to $23,495, and offering only a 5-speed automatic transmission.
The Kia Sedona driver feels like the master of her or his domain, looking down on the vast and functional center stack with all its controls, including a big leather-wrapped shift knob.
If Kia wanted the Soul to get noticed, then it's succeeded! After the company's long line of worthy but unexciting models, the newcomer is a breath of fresh air. Heavily influenced by the Soul concept that made its debut at the Detroit Motor Show in 2006, the boxy Kia refuses to fit into a defined market segment.
Described by company bosses as an "urban crossover", the newcomer features chunky SUV styling cues, together with supermini-MPV proportions and practicality.
Kia is looking to shake up the establishment with its new Soul. It's aimed at the likes of MINI and the Fiat 500, and the Korean firm has created three special editions for launch, each in a single colour and with a fixed set of options – the Samba, Burner and Shaker.
The Kia Spectra proves that interiors can be stylish and user friendly without being expensive. Its cabin features an organic design that's pleasant to look at. It feels like a compact, but doesn't feel cheap.
The Kia Spectra offers respectable performance from its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It's a modern engine with continuously variable valve timing, and its power output is strong for the class. Acceleration is good, better with the manual than with the automatic, of course, but the automatic offers more than adequate power even for high-speed, long-distance cruising.
With keen pricing a plenty of kit, Kia is hoping its Sportage can take on established SUV stars.
The Kia Sportage is a compact sport utility vehicle from a Korean automobile maker. Even though it is from another continent, this vehicle still holds the capacity to bring functionality and purpose to its existence, and into the American way of life.
