Capitol Kia continues to Slam Dunk the Competition

In 2011, NBA All-Star Blake Griffin jumped over a Kia to win the Slam Dunk contest held annually during All-Star weekend.  It has been a love affair ever since.

Before Blake Griffin became the number one overall selection in the NBA, he was a Consensus National Player of the Year during his sophomore season at the University of Oklahoma.  However, his successes didn’t start at OU.  While in high school, the 6 ft. 10 in. power forward stared at Oklahoma Christian School winning four state titles.  After leaving Oklahoma and recovering from a devastating kneecap injury in 2009; Griffin earned NBA Rookie of the Year earning him Sports Illustrated NBA’s 15 Greatest Rookies of All-Time.  He has been an All-Star every season he has played and helped make the LA Clippers a perennial playoff contender.

Along with winning the Naismith College Player of the Year, John Wooden Award, Oscar Robertson Trophy, Sports Illustrated Player of the Year, and countless other awards, Griffin is endorsed by one of the most talked about automotive companies in the United States. Blake Griffin and Kia is synonymous with excellence.

Kia has produced fascinating vehicles capturing America’s admiration with the Sedona, Spectra, Forte, Sorento, Rio and like Blake Griffin producing a massive slam dunk over opponents heads; the Optima, Cadenza and all new K900!  With these great vehicle line ups, Griffin has aligned with one of the top car companies in the industry and continues to be a high profile supporter of Kia.

Capitol Kia Provides the Most Affordable Sedan

One of the most popular vehicle segments in America is the midsize sedan.  It serves as a family car, daily commuter, road trip vehicle, and more.  It is perfect for just about anything the average car buyer needs, plenty of passenger room, cargo storage, and easy on the gas tanks.

Now because of the popularity of the midsize sedan, there’s no shortage of options for consumers to choose from.  What is the best vehicle for your money?  Recently cars.com conducted a test and their analysis determined what the most affordable midsize sedan was.  For us at Capitol Kia, the results were not surprising.

The Kia Optima is one of Kia’s bestselling vehicles and for good reason.  The test conducted by cars.com analyzed cars with a certain level of content that most car shoppers desire.  All vehicles tested were of trim levels that included automatic transmissions, cruise control, USB, Bluetooth, Power windows and driver’s seat, and a backup camera.

Most midsize car shoppers are choosing cars with at least the equipment listed above.  Also included in the test for affordability was the cost of 5 years of gas at the current price and driving ration provided by the EPA.

Not only was the Kia Optima the most affordable car on the list, it was a full $645 less expensive than the second place car.  You’ll also notice the Kia Optima Hybrid was pretty high on the affordability list, as a matter of fact, it was more affordable after 5 years than 7 non-hybrid vehicles on the list.

That’s a lot of value in Kia’s favor.  And if you want even more value you should get your Optima from Capitol Kia! Visit our showroom at 13573 U.S. Highway 183 N. in Austin, Texas or give us a call at 512-583-1900 today!
