Ellen's New Ride

Ellen bought her first car today--a 2010 Kia Optima.  Initially we turned up our nose at Kia, but the owner of the place where we were shopping told us that Hyundai bought Kia 6 years ago and completely turned things around.  The Optima is the same as a Hyundai Sonata.  It gets decent gas mileage and has lots of leg room--the most important factor for a Chamberlain.  It also has a 60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.  Yeah for that! 

Ellen test drove 5 cars.  The Corolla and Cobalt were too small.  She loved the Jetta, but it was too expensive.  That left the Galant and the Optima.  The Galant had a little more leg room, but more miles on it.  The Optima had a MP3 jack for her iPod and the extra warranty.  I think she made a good choice, though she was feeling nauseous thinking about it.  Here's a picture.
