NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., July 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Employees at Friendly Kia are aware that Ford vehicles are popular in the U.S., but they have ample evidence to support their claim that Kia models are superior in performance, safety and affordability, among other aspects.

The Tampa-area Kia dealership has put together a lineup of model comparison pages pitting Kia vs. Ford in each vehicle class.  These pages strongly suggest a "Big Three" automaker like Ford needs to step down the mountaintop and make room for Kia at the pinnacle of the automotive industry. 

Among the comparisons are the 2016 Kia Optima vs. 2016 Ford Fusion in the midsize sedan class.  The 2016 Optima is superior to the 2016 Fusion in a number of categories, including HP, miles per gallon and available audio options.  A page with two newer models features the 2017 Kia Sportage vs. 2017 Ford Escape, where the redesigned 2017 Sportage surpasses the 2017 Escape with its improved fuel economy, new available powertrain and bold design. 

A less conventional comparison pits the 2016 Kia Soul vs. 2016 Ford C-Max.  While both are hatchbacks, the C-Max is a hybrid and the Soul is a gas engine vehicle that wins awards with regularity; the 2016 Soul shows its superiority with power, pizzazz and family-friendly seating room that puts the 2016 C-Max on notice.   

In addition to the Kia quality these comparison pages exude, the dealership is participating in the Kia Sign It & Drive It Sales Event, a lease special on 2017 Kia Sorento, 2017 Kia Sportage, 2016 Kia Optima and 2016 Kia Forte models that runs through September 6, with a $0 first payment and $0 due at signing.   

Friendly Kia is located at 5819 U.S. Highway 19 in New Port Richey, Florida, and serves the nearby Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg area, as well as Spring Hill and Trinity.  Those interested in learning more about models on the lot can do so by calling 877-544-6706 or visiting the dealership's website at www.friendlykia.com.
