"I went in on a Thursday, met with Adrian & Victor, told them the car and color I was looking for, how much I wanted to pay each month and drove off Friday night with my 2013 Dark Cherry Kia Optima. They did not pressure me at all and even stayed late to close the deal. Thanks guys, and you too Bill in finance. AWESOME JOB!" -- Jacqueline E.

2014 Kia Forte Sedan offers lowest in-segment price
Kia Motors under the guidance of chief design officer Peter Schreyer, is one of the globes fastest growing automakers. They offer cutting-edge technologies, premium amenities, affordable pricing and the lowest cost of ownership in the industry. Kia has announced the launch of the newly redesigned 2014 Kia Forte and it will come with the lowest base price in the compact car segment with a starting price of $15,900, plus $800 destination.
The new 2014 Forte starred in Kia’s popular “Hot Bots” Super Bowl ad this January, and represents one of the best small car values on the road. Kia has been known for value, and now they are beginning to be known for some cutting-edge technologies on their cars. The all-new compact sedan is packed with new technologies for younger buyers, including Kia’s next-generation UVO in-vehicle infotainment and telematics system with eServices.
Forte competes in the competitive compact segment
The 2014 Forte Sedan has received a total makeover and is now bigger and sportier than the outgoing model. It has new European styling that will appeal to a new buyer that Kia is trying to attract. And with an MSRP of $15,900, it looks like they hit their mark. The Forte competes in the very competitive compact segment and gets a new exterior sporty profile, two new powertrains, and greater interior space that should help it stand out.
The 2014 Forte is offered in three models: LX with a 1.8-liter engine and manual transmission starting at $15,900; LX with a 1.8-liter engine and automatic transmission with a base price of $17,400; and EX with a 2.0-liter GDI powerplant and automatic transmission beginning at $19,400. Destination charge for all three models is an additional $800. The more powerful 2.0-liter 173-horsepower GDI model offers fuel economy of 24 miles per gallon city/36 highway/28 combined.
Two trim levels to choose from
The all-new 2014 Forte arrives with upscale amenities and rides on an all new chassis. And it comes with features not expected in this price range and segment. The base LX model comes standard with steering wheel-mounted audio controls, SiriusXM Satellite Radio3, Bluetooth, and heated power-folding mirrors. The optional Popular Package (LX A/T only) adds 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, keyless entry with remote trunk release and a sliding front armrest.
The EX trim brings a more powerful 2.0-liter GDI engine with Sportmatic shifting. It also comes standard with Kia’s next-generation UVO in-vehicle infotainment and telematics system with eServices. Other standard features include remote keyless entry with trunk opener, Rear Camera Display5, a sliding center armrest and a cooling glove box.
Optional Premium Package
Features found on the optional Premium Package include heated front and rear seats, a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with class-exclusive air-cooled ventilation, leather seat trim, power sunroof, 17-inch alloy wheels and push button start with Smart Key and a heated steering wheel. A Technology Package, adds HID headlights, LED tail lights, a 4.2-inch color LCD cluster screen and dual-zone automatic temperature control with rear center ventilation.
New Forte 5-door hot hatch is coming
Also look for Kia to roll out a new 2014 Forte 5-door hot hatch with a new turbocharged engine. The European-inspired hatchback SX is powered by an all-new 1.6-liter gasoline direct-injected (GDI) turbocharged four-cylinder engine putting out 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. When its compared with the competition, it should be the fastest compact in North America. Pricing has not been announced on the new Forte 5-door. The combined sportiness of the SX with the useful hatcback, along with the new Sedan, should give Kia a “duel-threat” in the compact car segment.
The new Forte is lower, longer and wider and offers a sportier and more upscale design for global buyers. It comes with a new engine with better performance, greater interior space and a wider array of premium amenities than the outgoing model. Look for the all-new 2014 Kia Forte Sedan to go on sale within the next 30 days. The new 2014 5-door hatch is expected to go on sale in the third quarter of 2013 here in the U.S.

Maintenance Tip of the Week
Rotating your tires helps to distribute tire wear evenly and ensures that you’ll get the maximum road life out of them. The first rotation is especially important.Your owner’s manual should specify both rotation period and pattern. If not, rotate your tires every 6,000 to 7,500 miles (9,700 to 12,000 km) — your tire dealer should know the correct pattern of tire rotation.

Kia to green-light GT and Provo for production?
"The GT is close to being approved and going into production, but, as with all our cars, they have to be developed on a sound financial footing," Benny Oeyen, Kia Europe's VP of marketing and product planning, told Auto Express. When it debuted, the GT four-door was powered by a turbocharged 3.3-liter V6, reportedly good for 389 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The Provo, on the other hand, could stand as a sort of halo car for the company's B-segment offerings. It would ride on the same front-wheel-drive platform as the Rio compact, though Kia says it's eager to keep the concept's gasoline-electric powertrain intact. "Our brand is currently rational, but there's space for a B-coupe," says Oeyen. Of course, the company would indeed have to look at different naming possibilities for its B-segment coupe, since the week-old Provo is already stirring up some controversy.
Kia has not disclosed any sort of timeline for when the cars may officially get the green light or when they would arrive in production form. From where we sit, some sporty Kias sound good to us, and if anything, the GT and Provo concepts certainly seem like promising building blocks for new products.

Maintenance Tip of the Week
To avoid problems resulting from rust, dirt and mineral deposits in the cooling system, it's best to give it an internal cleaning every year or two.
It's easy. Here's how:
1. Begin with the engine cold and ignition off. Remove the radiator pressure cap.
2. Open the petcock at the bottom of the radiator and drain the coolant into a bucket.
3. Close the petcock and fill the radiator with water.
4. Start the engine and turn the heater control to hot. Add cooling system cleaner and idle the engine for 30 minutes (or as per the instructions on container).
5. Stop the engine and allow it to cool for five minutes. Drain the system.
6. Close the petcock, fill the radiator with water and let the engine idle for five minutes.
7. Repeat step No.5. Close the petcock.
8. Install new 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol antifreeze/coolant

Kia’s B-Segment Provo Concept Showcases 4WD Hybrid Technology
Kia will unveil tomorrow, during the Geneva Motor Show, a B-segment concept car made to look like a road-legal racer, incorporating hybrid propulsion technology.
The coupe-looking hatchback concept, known as provo, mixes a gasoline-fueled turbo-charged engine with regenerative-electric motors to bring what Kia calls a smart-hybrid solution to this fun-focused concept.
The company stated that this provo concept points to Kia Motors’ future B-segment expansion plans.
Gregory Guillaume, chief designer at Kia’s European styling base in Frankfurt, described the concept as “an emotional and muscular car aimed at delivering pure fun and performance for today’s city-based enthusiast driver who longs for the curves of the open road.”
The provo combines a 1.6-liter Turbo GDi engine with smart-4WD-hybrid technology from an electric motor delivering an additional power surge to the rear wheels when required; this electric motor also allows low-speed electric-only motion. A seven-speed DCT transmission – Kia’s first – completes the technical package.
Guillaume went on: “This is entirely a car for European tastes and conditions. Designed purely at our Frankfurt studios the provo was conceived as a confident and single-minded statement of dynamism and energy to deliver a new sense of fun into the B-segment. The potent shaping displays a balanced and refined outline within a compact overall shape and the tiny front and rear overhangs enhance the balance within its proportions.”
Hidden behind a single piece of glass is the latest take on the Kia’s ‘tiger nose’ grille treatment linking straight into the Schreyer-inspired headlamp units that are made up of more than 850 tiny LEDs. Kia said the programmable LEDs can be used to provide daytime running lights, full beam or even race-style configurations – as well as more humorous and decorative displays to add to provo’s sense of fun!
High-intensity blood-orange accents contrast with the grey-green ‘Storm Metal’ body color to draw the eye to particular aspects of the structure and equipment, while carbon fibre surfaces interplay with traditional materials and high-gloss or anodized aluminum to strengthen the connection to the track cars that inspired provo.
The door construction is unique – the doors are made from three individual panels – the outer panel, a carbon-fiber inner panel and a neoprene-covered inner section that also features the Storm Metal body color.
Echoing the sculpted flanks of the provo, the dashboard has a business-like main binnacle containing large analogue dials on a digital display and a smaller central display of other minor gauges, but because the display is digital it can be programmed to offer a selection of functions.
Set on the center tunnel are two control hubs – the engine stop-start button and drive selector for the seven-speed DCT transmission and a Multimedia Interface control.
This latter control allows the driver to select a variety of screen displays – as well as controlling infotainment functions. In ‘normal’ mode the driver sees a speedometer, rev counter and sat-nav route instructions. In ‘cruise’ the display is centered on a large scale map, route instructions and a speedometer, while in ‘track’ mode the display features just a large rev counter, a track-map and a lap-timer. There is also a full ‘entertainment’ mode allowing visuals of music, radio and other information.
Guillaume commented: “The whole interior concept was designed around not having a big centre console, but instead using latest technology to provide excellent functionality in a clean, clear and attractive manner. By using a DCT gearbox we were able to get rid of the floor-mounted gear-shift and use paddles behind the steering wheel, which has blood-orange stitching and a race style straight-ahead indicator, allowing us to use the floor space for other controls resulting in a much tidier environment. And because the seats are fixed we have full electric adjustment for the pedal box and steering column – further simplifying the interior and giving a perfect-fit for any driver.”
