Selling my 2004 KIA Optima to buy a newer commuting car.  I'm the 2nd owner, not including the KIA dealer that I bought it from.  It was first owned by a major rental car company.  I bought it with about 25K miles on it and used it to commute on the highway.  The motor and transmission are great.  This is the V6.  Acceleration is very good and smooth.  It has the usual scratches, but the biggest blemish is a small hand-sized shallow dent on the right front.  I didn't see it happen, but someone did it in a parking lot.  From the same incident there is also a bit of door trim that separates from the passenger door.  You can see both in the pictures.  Other than that, the body and paint are in fair to good condition.

Although it has a lot of miles on it, everything is in working order except the air conditioning.  A local mechanic quoted $600 to install a new compressor.  I'd rather use that money toward a newer car.  So, if the situation fits you and you want to get a well running car at a low price - and can either live without the AC (since summer is almost over) or get it fixed on your own, this is a good car for a teen or anyone else that needs an inexpensive ride.  Because of the AC, I'm selling it at $700 under the Kelley Blue Book private party sale value.

The tires are brand new.  The spare is like new.  The heater works great.  Power windows and locks work fine.  The ABS brakes are good and have at least 50% on the pads.  New rotors and flushed brake lines a few years ago.  The oil has been changed routinely and there are no leaks of any kind.  The timing belt and water pump were replaced at 130K.  No warning lights are on.  All lights and signals work.

2014 Kia Sorento garners five-star NHTSA rating

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The 2014 Kia Sorento has just earned a five-start crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
According to Kia, the new Sorento scored well in both frontal and side-impact crash tests, while also netting high marks in rollover testing. Orth Hedrick, Kia's American director of product planning said, "Already a compelling entry in the compact CUV category, earning a five-Star rating from NHTSA makes the Sorento an even stronger contender within its segment while underscoring Kia's overall commitment to delivering safety and exceptional value to our customers."
The Sorento joins the Sportage within the Kia range, and the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester in netting a five-star score in the small, CUV segment. Take a look below for the official press release from Kia.

Kia Hotbots come back out to play with 2014 Forte

Sun, 04 Aug 2013

Kia is bringing back its so-called "hotbots," the slightly disturbing female robots that traipse about the uncanny valley while hustling the new Forte and "respecting the tech," for three new, humorous animated spots.
The Hotbots first debuted during Kia's latest Super Bowl spot, which followed the debut of the 2014 Forte sedan at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. Each new spot follows the premise of the two originals, with the hotbots protecting the Forte while the oblivious owner stands by. Take a look at all three ads below, along with the two originals that kicked the series off.

Kia teases next Sorento [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

We recently spotted it testing, and now Kia digitally dropped all of the cladding and obfuscation from its next-generation Sorento crossover to tease its true face. For the new model, it certainly looks as if the company's designers will evolve the current CUV's shape to be a bit more curvaceous than before.
According to Kia, the new design has a lower roofline and higher beltline than the current model, and the side windows certainly look a lot narrower than they are now. These renderings also hint at the next Sorento's more rectangular, vertical front end with the Korean automaker's now recognizable "tiger-nose grille." At the back, the styling appears to be a bit more rounded with the rear glass and taillights wrapping around slightly.
We won't have to base our opinions on renderings for long. Kia says that it will unveil the new Sorento in Korea at the end of August and will debut it to Europeans at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in early October. Scroll down to watch a video showing off some more renderings of the upcoming model and read Kia's teaser release.
