Anyone rolling in a Kia out there? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

THE TOOTH · 05-16-2011, 10:17 PM

I know there aren't many models out there that people on here might own. Maybe the Forte Koup or the Optima. Although. I already posted looking for other Optima owners.

2011 Koup SX

I still drive my '01 Sportage occasionally. Sometimes I'd rather walk cause it is the biggest piece of **** ever, but it'sa good firewood hauler

My parents traded in their Hondas (Odyssey and Accord) for Kias (Forte and Sorrento) last fall. And my GF and her dad just bought Souls. lol

KustomZ03 · 10-19-2011, 09:05 AM

For what its worth I was thisclose to getting a Soul as a DD, but the salesmen at the dealership were complete tools. It sucks cuz I really liked the car...surprisingly roomy inside.

My gf got a hell of a deal on hers. 2012 base model, a base model with cd player, bluetooth, usb, power windows and locks (but manual mirrors), 1.8L I4 and a 6sp manumatic trans. Rolled of the lot with 42.0 miles on the clock for 16 and change. Then her dad bought a 2010 plus model (lol) from another dealership, almost all of the "plus model" features are standard on hers, except his came with actual rims (her's was just steelies with caps), and his was the 2.0L I4 with only a 4sp Auto. The kicker was, I'm pretty sure her dad paid more for his, with 20,000 on the clock, just about all the same features and a lesser trans lol. When he told them what she paid, they couldnt understand how she got such a good deal.

I love the new kia optima.

SantoXTL · 10-19-2011, 06:37 PM

I actually love my koup so far - only had it since june so we'll see how long that lasts - as of right now nobody makes anything for it though so it's kinda boring

justinlansdale · 10-19-2011, 09:12 PM

SantoXTL · 10-19-2011, 09:14 PM

SantoXTL · 10-25-2011, 11:47 PM

THE TOOTH · 01-30-2012, 06:12 PM

Noodile · 01-30-2012, 06:20 PM

Dude, there are now a few kias around. at PSULPAC we have like 3 koups (including me). and around town there are at least 3 other koups. 2 blue ones. and 1 white.

Higu · 03-03-2012, 02:08 AM
