‘Kia is sweet music to my ears,’ says a loyal customer

MUSCAT: Who knows more about music than Talal Al Shahri, a radio jockey with Oman FM…! His vocation and his talents keep him immersed in sweet sounds – such as those that are current and trending. Is it any wonder then that he is on the ball with anything that rocks in Oman.

“Kia is one the most happening names in Oman and our story shows you of our love for it - right from the time we got married and until we welcomed our son Faisal. The feeling goes on…” says Shahri, with a smile.

Kia official met Shahri and asked him to recount some of the most outstanding moments in his long association with Kia. He agreed to start from the very beginning, “Our first meeting with Kia was when I bought my car for the first time in 14 years. At the beginning of my wife’s career, she decided to take another car to meet her changing needs. She went to Kia showroom and bought a stylish Sportage. The wonderful SUV kept us going for 8 years and we came to learn about the qualities of Kia. We were satisfied with all its attributes and never looked anywhere else.”

Continuing down the memory lane, Shahri spoke, “After a few years, with the arrival of our son Faisal, we decided to look for a bigger family car that had the latest technology and safety features and also had the power to spare while clambering-up the rugged mountains of Dhofar. After a long search, wherein we checked out several brand names, we found that nothing caught our fancy. Then finally, upon my wife’s insistence, we revisited Kia, where the courteous staff warmly welcomed us. The lady who met us at the showroom was highly knowledgeable and informed us of the tremendous developments in the latest Kia models.”

With the visit of Shahri and his young family, the Kia salesperson was able to demonstrate the latest features that adorn Kia models and the award-winning quality that has wowed Kia owners, the world over. Pointing to a Kia Sorento, the salesperson explained how it was the dream vehicle for them - just right for their needs.

“As our eyes gazed on the Kia Sorento, it felt as if all our dreams were coming true,” recalled Shahri, savouring the memory, “We even compared it with several international brands in the same category only to discover that the Sorento’s engine was stronger and more powerful. The Sorento interiors were more comfortable and we felt safer knowing about the6-airbags apart from a host of modern safety features. The interiors were spacious, roomy and the seats felt as luxurious as easy chairs. The features were all state of the art and it felt as if a new world had opened around us. Topping it all was the delightful price tag. For all their amazing qualities, Kia cars still top the list for affordability and value for money. Seeing that we were loyal customers, the branch manager, as a special gesture, gave us a special offer and we did not hesitate to make Sorento a part of our family. Now, we use it for all our needs and cannot imagine a time without it.”

Another wonderful family that has beautiful memories made in their Kia. “If there is anything that strikes a chord in you, why not visit the nearest Kia showroom.
