So, I decided to swing by Southwest Kia in Rockwall, TX last Saturday, just to take a peek. Ended up getting more than I bargained for!
My main goal was to check out the beige leather in the EX model, as I’m not a big fan of the cloth they use in the LX. I’ve never been a leather-car kind of person, but I really dislike their choice of cloth that much.
I had my heart set on Metal Bronze or Dark Cherry after seeing them on the Kia website, but I was pretty let down when I saw them in person. Surprisingly, the white EX I test-drove started looking pretty appealing compared to those colors.
The one I drove had a white exterior with tan interior and all the fancy extras. But I couldn’t justify shelling out an extra $2250 for stuff I didn’t really need. That glass roof was a bit too much for me, especially since I hardly used the single sunroof in my Koup. So, I settled for a base EX. They had a white one with grey interior in the showroom, which was a tough call because I had my heart set on beige leather. But the price was right, and they gave me a really good deal for my Koup, so I went for it.
The grey leather actually looks pretty sharp against the black plastics.
Every time I take it for a spin, I fall more in love with this car. Kia really knocked it out of the park.
