Three Subarus selected as Top Picks by Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports recently announced that Subaru scored a coveted "hat trick" of sorts, when three of its top models received top ranks with their team. The Impreza was selected as Top Compact Sedan, the Legacy as Top Midsize Sedan, and the Forester as Top Compact SUV, as well as one of the top 10 overall SUV's.
The Impreza was cited for its comfortable ride, fuel economy(27 mpg combined), and impressive standard All-wheel drive system. The Legacy was recognized for its quiet interior and easy to use controls, which makes it more fun to drive. The Forester's CVT transmission helped them earn the top mark in the compact SUV category, providing the Forester with better acceleration and fuel economy.

Kia Sedona announced as IIHS Top Safety Pick
"NHTSA's recent 5-star rating of the 2015 Sedona is a testament to Kia's commitment to safety. The Sedona is all-new for 2015 and combines CUV-like styling, inside and out, with exceptional quality and the tremendous value our brand is known for," said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning. "As families begin planning summer vacations in their Sedonas, they can feel confident in the engineering that went into their vehicle and that NHTSA has validated the product with its highest safety rating."
The 2015 Sedona is built on an all-new chassis with static torsional stiffness that is 36-percent greater than its closest segment competitor. Furthermore, 76 percent of the body is composed of Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS), which provides exceptional rigidity, durability and crash protection for all occupants. Adding to its stout structure, the Sedona has been engineered to distribute impact loads evenly through the body with ultra-high-strength steel tubes installed in the A pillars.

KIA SportSpace - More than just a Concept?
First KIA came out with a Trail'Ster Concept at the Chicago Auto Show, which many design features that were close to the KIA Soul. Now, in Geneva, eager consumers got the first look at the all new Kia SPORTSPACE concept.
We're hopeful that this concept is a "production preview" rather than just a teaser of future options. Some believe that, instead of being unveiled as its own model, the SPORTSPACE will make its debut as a package or model option on the Kia Optima, but at Premier Kia, we think that this wagon has what it takes to make it in the big leagues without riding any coattails. Who wouldn't want a ride in a state-of-the-art, 250-horsepower sports wagon?

"Great Experience, Again"
We bought two Outback vehicles from Premier Subaru in less than 18 months. Back in 2013, my husband came across Premier Subaru, a dealer 50 miles away, on internet when he researched Outback. We were so impressed by the quality of the service provided by the sales representative and by the simplicity of the price negotiation process that we did not hesitate to make a purchase during our first visit to Premier Subaru. This time, the experience was even better now that Premier Subaru is a Truecar Dealer. Premier Subaru's TrueCar quote was the lowest among the dealers in my 80 mile radius. Tony Gagnon was a knowledgeable and very friendly sales representative who patiently explained the car functions to us. He kept communicating with us regarding the arrival of our vehicle to the dealership and worked closely with my insurance agent to ensure on time delivery. I would highly recommend Premier Subaru to anybody who is in market for a Subaru vehicle. To us, Premier Subaru is a place for quality services and great prices.

"Amazing Car Buying Experience"
As a 20 year U.S. Navy Veteran, I have purchased 6 new vehicles from 5 different dealerships in 3 different states and Premier Kia of Branford is the ONLY DEALERSHIP that I DID NOT feel like I was taken advantage of or that they were more interested in how much money they could make from the sale. I drove the 41 miles to Premier Kia vice the 3 miles to our local Kia dealer!! All associates were warm and friendly. Our online sales associate, Kim Seabrook; salesman, Nathan Glazewski; General Manager, Patrick Cosgrove; Finanace Manager, Ken Schmitz; and dealership owner, Robert Alvine all went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure we were provided the 2015 Kia Sedona with the colors and features we desired and expected at an exceptional price. It is very evident that this dealership and its employees value their customers!
