Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I understand how frustrating it can be to feel pressured during a purchase, especially when you're in need of a vehicle like the Kia Niro. Your feedback regarding the service and communication you've received is invaluable, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. At 1st Kia of Simi Valley, we strive for transparency and accountability, and it's concerning to hear that it seems we fell short in your case.
