I have about 5 months left on my lease of a 2011 Hyundai Sonata and figured maybe I should start looking for a replacement lease vehicle. I stopped by my Hyundai dealer in January, and they did not seem real interested in offering me any alternatives or incentives to get out of my current lease. Thanks Jimmy. I received a direct mail piece from Vision Kia, which showed some attractive lease specials on the Kia Optima. After reading some very favorable review of the Optima, I decided to visit this dealer, which is on the other side of town from where I live. The Optima is smaller inside than the Sonata, but I liked some of the features on the EX model. The LX (base model) seemed a bit too striped down, and he price difference between the EX and LX was about $50 per month different on the lease payment. The manager Matt Miller suggested a happy medium, the LX with a convenience package. Exactly what I was looking for. My Sonata was at the high end of my mileage allowance, so I knew my payments were likely to be a bit higher, but I feel the deal they offered me was very fair. They also let me take the Optima home to show my wife. Being the end of the month they were trying to close business, but I did not feel pressure make a decision. I also, did stop at a Hyundai dealer the next day to see what they could do for me in a car comparable to the Optima. They did come very close, but unfortunately, the 2013 Sonata seemed almost identical to my older car. And, I was really starting to like the ride of the Optima. I called Vision Kia, told them when I would be back, and less than an hour after I brought the car back; I was out the door with my new Optima. VERY PAINLESS. They were VERY busy that night closing other deals, but I did not feel rushed. The business manager went over the paperwork and pointed out some benefits of leasing a Kia that other dealers charge for. He also advised me that Kia is very good about offering incentives to get into newer leases about six months before the expiration. I left feeling very good about my decision on both the car and this dealership. I would highly recommend them.\r
