My husband and I recently purchased a new car. We did so, kind of on a whim, because our older wagon car was beginning to have a significant amount of problems. We decided instead of pouring more money into it, we would upgrade to a larger mini van. After much research and consideration, we decided on a Kia and are so thankful we did.
When Mom Spark put out the opportunity to post about the new Kia Optima Hybrid, I was super excited.
