Kia Dealer Near Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY

How to Test Drive a Car Properly

This costs nothing, takes half an hour, and is the difference between liking a car in a showroom and liking it in March. None of it is specific to us — do the same at any dealer you visit.

Park it. Actually park it.

The single most skipped step. Find a real kerbside space on a real street and reverse into it. You will learn more in ninety seconds about the rear visibility, the turning circle, where the corners are and whether the camera is any use than in twenty minutes of driving. If you cannot get it in comfortably now, in daylight, with somebody helpful in the passenger seat, you will hate it in January.

Look over your right shoulder at a junction

Windscreen pillars vary enormously between cars and nobody notices until they are pulling out of a side street into traffic. Sit at a couple of awkward junctions on the drive and look properly. The same goes for the blind spot over your shoulder when changing lanes — mirrors and sensors help, but you should know what the car itself lets you see.

Bring the things you actually carry

The child seat, the pushchair, the toolbox, the instrument case, whatever lives in your boot every week. Fit them. A boot measured in litres tells you nothing about whether your particular pram goes in without folding the seats. Ten minutes in the car park with your own equipment beats any specification sheet.

Then drive the road you actually drive

Kings Highway at five o'clock, or Avenue U on a Saturday, or whatever your ordinary week looks like. A car that feels refined on a quiet stretch can be tiring in stop-start traffic, and the reverse is also true. From five miles away you can test that honestly instead of guessing.

New Kia Cars & SUVs for Sale Near Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY

The Sportage is where most people start, and the hybrid suits a life of traffic lights rather than motorways. Below it the Seltos is the easiest of all of these to place in a kerbside gap. Above, the Sorento and Sorento Hybrid add a third row while staying parkable, and the Telluride is wide enough that you should try it on a narrow street before deciding. The Carnival trades that width for sliding doors, which on a tight driveway is worth a great deal. Saloons: the K4 and K5. The EV3 depends entirely on whether you can charge where the car sleeps — the EV research pages set out what to work out first.

Used & Certified Pre-Owned Kia Near Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY

Six franchises trade into one used lot, so what is on it spans every badge here. Everything in the test-drive advice above applies double to a used car, and we will give you the time to do it.

The warranty point that catches people out. Kia advertises ten years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain, and that term belongs to whoever bought the car new. A second owner inherits something shorter, and the certified programme is a separate scheme added afterwards. The only facts that settle it are the date the car entered service and what is logged against its VIN. Read us the VIN and we will check it free, whether the car is ours or one you saw on 86th Street.

Kia Service Near Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY

Five miles makes us a realistic choice for routine work rather than a special trip. Drop the car at seven, take the train, collect it on the way home.

• Factory-schedule servicing, oil and filters
• Brakes, discs, tyres and wheel alignment
• Suspension and steering, which take a beating on crosstown roads
• Battery testing plus hybrid and EV system checks
• New York State inspection with a multi-point report
• Warranty repairs and recalls, cover confirmed on the VIN first
• Diagnostics, electrical faults and air conditioning
• Accident and paint work at Plaza Body Shop on the same block

Collection and return is available as well, which at this distance usually means the car is back the same day.

Sell or Trade Your Car

Bring us anything — any badge, any age — and there is no expectation that you buy something back. You can take the money or set it against the next car. Pricing comes from whichever of the six showrooms here would put your model back on sale, which is usually why it clears a guide figure. Old car goes with the driver on a delivery.

Directions from Bensonhurst to Plaza Kia

Kings Highway, the diagonal one

Kings Highway cuts northeast across the borough from your side to ours and drops you onto Nostrand Avenue a few blocks below us — turn north there. Traffic lights the whole way, roughly fifteen to twenty minutes, and reliably so at almost any hour.

Avenue P or Avenue U, the straight ones

Either runs due east across to Nostrand. Avenue U has more shops and therefore more stopping; Avenue P is usually the calmer of the two. Pick whichever suits where in Bensonhurst you are starting from.

Getting here without a car

The D or N toward Coney Island, then a crosstown bus east, or the B train up and across — at five miles a shared cab is often the simpler answer. Routes and fares are the MTA's, so check them for the day you travel. Most people collecting a car get dropped off.
