2017 KIA Optima

The attributes of the new 2017 Optima from Kia continues raising like sweet cream among car critics, writers and especially owners.  Just recently, the trustworthy organization Consumer Reports gave this very popular midsized sedan one of their highest awards.  The CR folks presented the Optima as one of their Top Ten Picks for the Best New Cars of 2017 issue in the midsized sedan category.  

Consumer Reports said: “Move over Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.  The Kia Optima rocks the midsized sedan segment as a smart alternative to the me-too mainstream.  It checks all the right boxes for family-sedan buyers, with responsive handling, a steady ride and pleasant powertrain, short stopping distance, easy to use controls and a roomy backseat.”  You can see owners of this stylish dependable sedan nodding their heads in agreement.  Just ask one.  But don't take anyone's word for it and do your own due diligence with the Optima up close and personal with the friendly folks at Huffines KIA McKinney today! 

You will find out quickly why this handsome family sedan scored high marks on the Consumer Reports road tests, reliability, safety and most importantly owner satisfaction.  This uptown sedan offers high levels of features that exude a premium feel without straining your budget.  The Kia engineers again hit a home run with the redesign of their Optima as they made it taller and longer than before, which is great for head and leg room.  This improvement and others you will experience in the enjoyable test drive.

Once you slide into those wide and comfy seats, you and yours will appreciate the abundance of space and how well the cabin is tailored.  The Optima has lots of technology to satisfy your desires in communication, entertainment and safety.  Features easy to learn, understand and reach with no help from your teenager.  All yours for the asking is Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Adaptable Cruise Control and the very important Autonomous emergency braking.  Other features that are uncommon at this level are quilted leather upholstery, panoramic sunroof and even a 360 degree parking camera.  

Everything just comes together with this award winning Kia Optima.  It even gets better as to what may be under its stylish hood on your test drive.  You have a choice of three lively engines.  The base LX and EX models come with the energetic 2.4-liter that delivers 184 horses with a smooth six-speed automatic.  You also have the two turbocharged four bangers to try out.  The 1.6-liter turbo with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that is quick as a cat.  If you want some more zip in your trips, then also test drive the popular 2.0-liter turbo that lets lose 245 thoroughbreds and an awesome 260 lb-ft of asphalt gripping torque.  Want super fuel economy?  Then look at the efficient and perky Hybrids that love to cruise by those gas pumps. 

So if you are in the search for a mid-sized sedan with a wide choice of power-plants, models, amenities and “drop dead” styling; then take a spin in the new Kia Optima from Huffines KIA McKinney and find out for yourself that this is one car that is as much to drive as it is to be seen in.

2017 KIA Soul

When you thought, it wouldn't—it did!  All the good things about this very popular hatchback, like space, styling, comfort, and quirkiness, long list of standard and optional equipment remain the same. 

Now for 2017, the new Kia Soul has hit another sweet spot with a dose of performance in the form of a 1.6-liter Turbocharged four banger.  The Soul has its first Turbo and the hamster got hotter. You can try one out with the friendly folks at Huffines KIA McKinney in your favorite color and style. 

Yes indeed, this is the most powerful Soul yet and elevated the fun factor in spades.  The Soul turbo punches out over 200 lively horses and delivers class-leading performance with 195 lb-ft of asphalt gripping torque between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm, which is right where you want it.  A big part of what makes it work so well is the new seven speed dual clutch transmission.  This Soul turbo engages faster off the line and up shifts quicker and more aggressively, which you will realize in your enjoyable test drive.  Don't worry as smiles are free of charge. 

If you are concerned about raising fuel cost, not to fret as this Kia Soul turbo manages 26 mpg in the EPA's city test and 31 mpg on the highway.  This Kia is truly a fine daily driver that will still get the attention it deserves.  Car critics and writers are already recognizing that the 2017 Soul is something to consider as the turbo and non-turbo alike still punch out what drivers want.  For example, Car and Driver recently gave the Kia Soul the Best Subcompact SUV Award in its “10 Best Trucks and SUVs for 2017”.  But don't take anyone's word for it and do your own due diligence with a test drive. 

You will appreciate the funky charm inside and out. Since you spend so much time behind the wheel, unless of course you are washing it again, you will quickly find out that this vehicle is as much fun to drive as it is to be seen in. The Soul's cabin is richly trimmed and so very spacious for your enjoyment; your passengers will love its leg and headroom.  In fact, the spacious rear seat puts shame to its competitor’s lack of space.  The Soul's cargo space has even more room. 

You and yours will also appreciate Kia's UVO's setup for communication, entertainment and safety that is so user friendly.  No help from your teenager here.  The new 2017 Kia Soul comes with improved performance, refinements, efficiency, good looks and a vehicle owners love to hug. The Soul still manages to be both fresh and genuinely attractive. 

So, if you are in the search for a compact, commuter friendly crossover with some fire in its belly, then visit http://www.huffineskiamckinney.com today!  The bet is on that you will leave with a smile, not only because you have brought that fun factor back into your drive times, but for the great deal you received and new friends made.
