I just recently leased a 2022 Kia Sportage for my daughter going to grad school. It was the whole 4 hour affair, sitting, waiting, back and forth with sales associate, sales manager, "owner". Left with the car and what I thought was a decent deal for a lease. It seemed the dealership was more concerned about how I was going to answer the KIA visit from the survey more than anything and even "schooling" me into the answers I should receive. I am not new to this, in fact this is what I come to expect (and hate) about the whole thing. The sales manager even said if I don't answer this or that specifically, their dealership would fail and the associate I used would not get his $10 gift card. Really, is this what it has come to? So I got the survey and I answered it truthfully instead of lying to achieve what they would want. And I was kind, nothing negative, just not straight "10"s as I was told to answer. Sure I would buy another car from them. Next I get an email from the dealership trying to understand where they went wrong. I also think I got a phone call but didn't pick up. I see so many bad experiences with the dealerships and posters buying Tellurides so I can understand the problems. I like the KIA produce and am simply being honest. Not sure what they actually want from the buyers or how they will improve without honest feedback.
