The options in today's compact sedan segment can seem endless and very overwhelming, which is why for a car to stand out, it needs to actually be, well, outstanding.  That means it needs to have exceptional power, performance, design, style, comfort, and technology options, and a new vehicle is a top contender in this category this year: the 2013 Kia Forte.  Allow Barnett Kia of White Bear Lake to introduce you to it.

Are you looking for a dependable hybrid that won't disappoint you with its performance?  If so, your search can stop with the record-setting Kia Optima Hybrid.  The 2013 edition of this sporty, eco-friendly vehicle has a number of improvements over last year's version, and they have everyone here at Barnett Kia very excited.

We have a lot of customers come into the Barnett Kia showroom from all over the greater White Bear Lake area looking for a car that is safe, reliable, fun to drive, and most importantly, kind to their wallets.  The first car we recommend to these buyers is the 2013 Kia Soul, and we aren't the only ones who are smitten with this unique hatchback; Reader's Digest just named it to its annual "Best Car Deals Under $15,000" list.

Blake Griffin, NBA superstar, has had his fair share of successful endorsements over the course of his career, including several advertisements for the new Kia lineup here at Barnett Kia.  This time, Griffin highlights one cool feature on one of our favorite models with time travel.

Ever since Spider-Man hit theaters ten years ago, the world has been caught in a superhero whirlwind ever since. Not one summer has gone by without Hollywood making two, three, or upwards of four attempts at breaking the bank with another super dude in spandex. Then again, we're not exactly complaining. As for us here at Barnett Kia, those there movies are the highlights of our summer, almost more so than the arrival of new and used cars at our dealership. And not that it really needs reiterating, but 2012 was one heck of year for superhero fans.

Some New Zealanders have all the luck. They get immortalized as extras in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, they got to see Flight of the Conchords perform before they got big, and they even get cars that we Americans will probably never see in person unless we fly halfway across the globe. It just isn't fair, but we can't blame them either. Like us here at Barnett Kia, those New Zealanders just love them some new Kias.

When thinking of the top luxury brands within our market, Kia doesn't exactly spring to mind. Rather, the automaker is known for its eye-catching design and uncompromised value. But come 2017, that could all change.
