New redesigned Sedona
Kia has confirmed that a redesigned Sedona minivan will appear at the New York Auto Show. The 2015 Sedona is being classified as a midsize multi-purpose vehicle, and will feature several new eServices features. Kia is confident that the Sedona will earn its spot in a minivan market that is running only half as many units as it was in 2000.
We think that this is a product that is going to defy convention in the segment and potentially eliminate some preconceived notions that people have of the segment, says Kia spokesman Scott McKee.

Customer's Corner
Notes from Happy Customers! Here are some reviews from Dealerrater.com - you can view others here and here.
I had had a bad experience at another dealer and was hesitant to try again but I'm very glad I did. The personnel at Premier Subaru were very helpful! I walked in and was immediately greeted by a woman who put me in touch with Mark Gennette. We talked for a few minutes and he asked me what I was looking for. We walked around out in the lot and I told him what I liked. Everything was very low-key. I took a test drive, he explained what was in the car, how the radio worked, the heated seats, etc. He was very nice. We went back to the dealership, made a deal and I put down a deposit. I wanted a car starter and the interior/exterior protection package that they had to put on so I didn't pick the car up that day. When I went back to pick up the car, everything went very smoothly.
Overall, it was a great experience and I look forward to doing business with them again! I would highly recommend Premier Subaru for your next vehicle. Great people and great prices!
Thank you, Mark!

Very pleased I wasnt pressured into buying a car from this dealer the car buying came natural. Nathan Glazewski was there to help answer questions and was very informal on his answers. Nathan also went above and beyond with Robert Alvine to find us the best priceing and payment option. So glad I bought a Kia from this Branford location. Also I like to thank Kenny Schmitz for getting all the finance stuff taken care of. THANK YOU KIA!!! AND THANK YOU PREMIER KIA OF BRANFORD!!! I will surely tell everyone about my buying experince there.
