			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone paying attention to the transformation within the car industry has been hearing about the Kia Sedona family minivans. This refreshing new approach to car technology delivery has car buyers watching closely. </p>
<p>The Kia Sedona family minivan is especially on the radar in 2012. All sections of our greater community from business owner to parent to yard-sale junkie knows the inherent value of the classic minivan. It doesn&#8217;t matter if the stuff you need to transport is kid stuff, grownup stuff or lots of pets and stuff&#8211;the Kia Sedona family minivan is the smoothest, most comfortable way to transport a lot in style.<br />
<span id="more-2994"></span><br />
There are a number of minivans on the market currently. The Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna were both completely redesigned in 2011. Personal preference is the guiding difference between them according to our observation. Odyssey is known for nice road handling, and the all-wheel drive Sienna is nicely quiet. Both can be equipped for a full eight passengers.</p>
<p>There is also the Nissan Quest. This one is limited to seven passengers, has less cargo space yet nice styling, and a high level of driver engagement. If you have mini-minivan needs, the fully redesigned six passenger Mazda 5 is also available.</p>
<p>Minivans are sought after because of ease of use such as light-touch sliding rear and side doors, low step-up heights, amazing amounts of storage space and simple reconfiguration of seating whenever new situations requiring people and stuff happens. Anytime travel demands that comfort needs require storage managing and seating reconfiguration, the minivan is the best choice. Minivans are also known for getting much better mileage than your SUV making it the common choice when large-family travelling and camping come into play.</p>
<p>Kia Sedona family minivans are especially known for comfort. The Kia Sedona family-van provides air conditioning from the rear to the front of the vehicle, cargo area specific lighting, front reading lights, floor mats throughout the vehicle, dual vanity mirrors and turn signals in mirrors for better night-visibility and safety.</p>
<p>The Kia Sedona family minivan designers also realize the importance of long-distance travel comfort and so include onboard entertainment systems to keep the family travel interesting and fun. The Sedona is equipped with six speakers, USB connections, an element antenna, in-dash AM-FM with single CD player, and CD MP3 playback stereo. It also includes Sirius XM satellite radio and an auxiliary audio input and iPod integration. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you’re riding down the streets of Los Angeles and all eyes are on you.  In fact, one young man actually gives you the ‘thumbs up’.  Funny thing is&#8230; you know exactly why you’re getting so much attention.  It’s because you are driving the new Kia Optima, which is one of the most competitive and luxurious cars on the road today. </p>
<p>What you are driving is pure class!  That’s why all the looks and the turning heads as you pass by.  It has just enough detail on it to give it that elegant, rich look, yet it is very economical to buy and to run.  In fact, the 2012 Optima has been elected Sedan of the Year.<br />
<span id="more-2960"></span><br />
Look at what makes it so elegant:</p>
<ul>
<li>Standard seventeen inch alloy wheels</li>
<li>Chrome door handles</li>
<li>Chrome exhaust tips</li>
<li>Body color mirrors</li>
<li>Vibrant colors with a deep gloss paint</li>
<li>Standard fog lights</li>
</ul>
<p>On the inside of the car, the classiness and luxury follow through including an eight speaker Infinity audio system with voice activated communications and infotainment center.  The passenger room has been increased to one hundred two cubic feet.  One thing about the 2012 Optima is that you immediately forget you are in a mid-sized car.  You actually tend to believe that you are in a high-end luxury vehicle and that’s why all the looks from people as you pass by.</p>
<p>We are talking heated steering wheels, heated seats, sun-roof and believe it or not, a glove box that has a cooling function that helps keep water bottles cool. </p>
<p>Some history and trivia tells us that the Kia Optima 2010 sedan was manufactured by Kia Motors in 2000.  From the first car designed it has been marketed as the Optima, however in Europe and Canada when it began being sold there in 2002, it was named Kia Magentis.</p>
<p>Then, the second generation models appeared and in the South Korean market the name was Kia Lotze.  Today, the Optima name is used globally, except in China where the name will remain Kia Lotze.</p>
<p>In summary, few mid-sized cars can compare to the new Kia Optima.   However, there is one one thing that consumers would probably question, besides the affordability, and that would be the unbelievable drive of the car that puts a little disbelief in their mind.</p>
<p><strong>They wonder&#8230; &#8220;Who’s not in a luxury car, cause you could have fooled me!&#8221;</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2012 Kia Soul features a standard 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine, allowing it to put out 135 horsepower. A 2.0-liter engine with 160 horsepower is also available. The 2012 model also has improved fuel economy over previous years, giving owners 31 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. While you probably will not consider the car fast, it has plenty of power to get you around town and from place-to-place on the highway. </p>
<p>On the outside of the car, you will surely enjoy the LED taillights and projector headlights, which make the car highly visible at night. It also has a new hood and redesigned bumpers, which give the car an entirely different look. The 2012 Kia Soul has a truly unique look that will get you noticed out on the streets.<br />
<span id="more-2955"></span></p>
<p>While you are driving the 2012 Kia Soul, you will enjoy a quiet ride, since the car has very thick insulation on its dash. The Infinity audio system, however, allows you to override the quiet ride and listen to your music as loud as you wish. This is definitely a much better stereo system than you would expect to come with a vehicle. </p>
<p>If you are looking for additional options, the 2012 Kia Soul has an optional navigation system or a voice controlled information and entertainment system, powered by UVO. You can also select heated leather seats, a push-button starting system and an automatic climate control system that allows you to set a temperature and keep it there. These seem like options that you would find in a luxury automobile, so it is strange to find them in an affordable ride like the 2012 Kia Soul. </p>
