The Kia Niro is having a great week — its commercial starring Melissa McCarthy was one of the best of Super Bowl LI. But the commercial isn’t just hilarious. It speaks volumes as to what the Niro is about — that it’s a truly eco-friendly CUV. Size differences aside, the Toyota Prius (especially with the Prius […]
Super Bowl LI went down yesterday, alongside the some odd million dollar commercials and a very on-point halftime show from Lady Gaga and Intel. We also got to see the continuation of the more recent tradition of at least a few people at the party complaining that the commercials aren’t as good as they used […]
Kia’s larger-sized sedan, the Cadenza, has been revamped for 2017. Kia’s luxury sedan is one of its lesser known vehicles, but like with most of Kia’s models, it’s on the upswing. Kia’s done great jobs with their Sorento, Sportage, Optima, and Sedona, and that general level of quality is reflected in the redesigned Cadenza. This […]
Kia has been making reliable, quality cars for a long time, but form always seemed to come second to function. When I think of a Kia of the ’00s, no-frills motoring and a great value come to mind. Fast forward a few years and what a difference a couple design cycles make! The 2017 Kia […]
For better or worse, things are on the upswing for gas guzzlers thanks to the rapid decline in the price of oil. While the age of Hummers and massive SUVs might not ever come back, it’s a good time for the smaller CUVs — a utility vehicle built on a car frame. Enter the Kia […]
Total smartphone integration is finally coming to Kia — the 2016 Kia Optima will be their first model with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, making safe smartphone use in the car kinda more possible.

When you think of a premium luxury sedan, “Kia” doesn’t typically come to mind. Would you put that brand in the same class as a Lexus? A BMW? Probably not – but with the K900, Kia is hoping to blow your mind and make you do a double take. So much so, that they have […]
When you head to Vegas with a team of 5, you need a large vehicle that is easy for people to jump in and out of at a moment’s notice. Thankfully, the 2015 Kia Sedona fit the bill on our latest jaunt to Las Vegas during CES 2015. We ended up nicknaming it the Scooby […]
Don’t be fooled by how cute this cubular shaped car is, because when it comes to driving, the Soul packs a punch and really performs. To that effect, the 2014 Kia Soul has upped the ante by using better quality materials, increasing the shock absorption, and increasing the rigidity by 28.7%. Kia has also redesigned […]
If you want to abuse a car, take it to Las Vegas. And then make sure it has an insurmountable amount of people exiting and entering the car. Make sure it has a enough cup holders, USB ports for charging, and Bluetooth connectivity for people to share their music from any seat in the car. […]
It seems like only yesterday when we took the 2013 Kia Sorento out for a spin. However, out with the old and in with the new, as the 2014 Kia Sorento is here and it’s exactly what a crossover vehicle was meant to be. To that effect, it is that perfect nugget of automotive machinery […]
The hamsters are back and they’re looking better than ever in the new transformed Kia Soul. The 2014 Kia Soul comes sporting more or less the same iconic design as the outgoing model, but it’s also a bit more sophisticated. To that effect, Kia has upped the ante with the Soul by using better quality […]
The 2013 Kia Rio SX is going to shake up the subcompact world of automobiles. The vehicle is available in both a 4 door sedan and a 5 door version, with the 5th door being the hatchback. In any case, this isn’t our first time behind the wheel of a Kia Rio – last year […]
It was just a few weeks ago that we reviewed the 2013 Sorento, and this week we took to the desert roads of central Arizona to test out the revamped, and redesigned 2014 Kia Sorento. As a matter of fact, according to Kia, over 80% of the parts in the 2014 Sorento are either all-new […]
The Kia Forte has gotten a facelift for 2014. The sedan was first introduced back in 2010, and this year it has been revamped and re-engineered. The first thing you’ll notice about the new Forte is its curvier, more modern and organic exterior lines, that have actually been influenced by European sport sedan styling. Kia […]

The Kia Sorento has come a long way since it rolled off the production line in 2002. From it’s earlier days as boxy traditional looking SUV, it has transformed into a sporty and even slightly luxurious looking crossover vehicle. While the changes are not all that different from 2012. The 2013 Sorento is slick, peppy, […]
Fun! That is what the Kia Soul is. Despite the Hamster commercials, the Kia Soul is a solid ride that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and it is also a super fun car that actually makes you excited to drive. Not quite an SUV, a hatchback or a crossover – the Kia Soul is in […]
The Kia Optima Hybrid might call itself a hybrid but it has the looks and performance of a traditional automobile. While most consumers might be brainwashed into thinking going hybrid means going ugly; that is far from true with the Optima Hybrid. This is a stylish and impressive car that doesn’t dumb down any features […]
To get a hatchback, or not to get a hatchback is the question. Nowadays, the burgeoned trend for the younger demographic of drivers is to get as much gas mileage out of their car, while being able to stuff in an excessive amount of IKEA boxes into it. To top it all off – at […]
Lets face it, when you think of a KIA – horsepower, sleek lines, fuel efficiency and overall sex appeal usually doesn’t come to mind. But the 2011 Kia Optima SX Turbo is certainly all that and more. The Kia Optima SX Turbo has it all for both men and women – that includes the 274-hp, […]
