Gone are the days when headlights were simple round fixtures on cars. With advancements in lighting technology, headlights have since become a prominent feature of automotive design. Let’s take a look at the development of car lamps and how they have come to be more than just lighting mechanisms.

“As we report in our full review of the 2016 Optima, Kia has made its mid-size sedan better in every way. It’s better-driving, more refined, and fuller-featureed, all while keeping its status, at least in its more affordable trims, as one of the best value-for-money picks on the market—but maybe not quite the radically different head-turner its predecessor was.” Click to Read More Lees hele artikel

The 2011-2013 Kia Sorento is being recalled for a transmission glitch. According to the recall notice, the affected Kia Sorento crossovers can unexpectedly roll while parked if the gearshift lever is pressed with too much force, resulting in a chip or crack to the break-shift interlock. As a result, that could cause the transmission to unintentionally shift out of park, even if the brakes are not pressed.

“When it comes to the 2016 Kia Sorento SXL sport-utility I recently tested, cheap was the last thing that came to my mind. Part of the reason is because this Kia is many things, but cheap it ain’t. Almost fully-loaded, equipped with the optional 290-horsepower 3.3-liter V-6 and all-wheel-drive, this Sorento had a price firmly fixed in the mid-$40K range. This alone might cause some readers to head for the hills, or abandon all hope of taking the new Sorento for a meaningful test drive. It shouldn’t, and here’s why.” Click to Read More Lees hele artikel
