Now that the party is over and the family is full, what are you going to do with all of that food you have left at your house? You tried giving it all away to your guests as they left, but somehow, you still have more than you can comfortably fit in your refrigerator. The best way to get rid of it is to repurpose it.

Now, I know you just spent two full days cooking, so by all means, eat as much of that turkey as you can… But when you get bored with the Thanksgiving basics, here are the best recipes that can magically turn your boring left overs into something new.

Turn the turkey into breakfast food from heaven.

Donate with Lawton Kia to Cleveland Elementary

Our teachers are on the front lines of their students lives every day. Students look up to teachers and advisors for guidance and acceptance. Lawton Kia knows this so we love to show our Oklahoma teachers in the Lawton Public Schools our appreciation.

One thing the teachers of Cleveland Elementary have noticed is the lack of warm clothes for their students.

Lawton Kia is a proud partner of Lawton Public School’s Cleveland Elementary through our Teacher of the Month program. Monthly, we donate a certificate for a free oil change and tire rotation to the winning teacher to use at our Service Department. We’re excited that our partnership is growing through Cleveland Elementary’s introduction of their Coat Closet.

It’s time to do something for the students these teachers love so much.

This holiday season, Lawton Kia is going to donate new warm children’s coats to the Cleveland Coat Closet so that Cleveland Elementary students will not go cold this winter. You can help by visiting Lawton Kia and donating a new winter coat starting Monday, November 19th through Wednesday, November 21st, 2018.

The Lawton Kia team knows this program can do great things since teachers see students almost every day and know whether or not certain children have access to warm clothing. We hope our staff and local, loyal customers are able to donate this holiday season!

Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and Instagram for updates on the new coat drive for Cleveland Elementary, as well as our great Black Friday deals on new and used inventory and Light Up the Holidays Kia Sales Event!

Lawton Kia loves the new 2019 Forte! The 2019 Forte is a modest, yet modern car that must compete year after year with the hamster loving Soul and sporty Stinger, so you wouldn’t expect it to do as well as it does. Last year, the Forte was purchased more than any other Kia and is known to attract more first-time car buyers.

Safe & Efficient

The 2019 Forte is extremely safe and efficient with an EPA-estimated 31 city mpg and 41 highway mpg thanks to the Intelligent Variable Transmission that makes for a smooth and comfortable ride. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine resulting in 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft is returning with a new cooled EGR system to improve efficiency in the 2019 Kia Forte. The new Forte’s windows have even been upgraded to decrease vibration, and harsh curb noise thanks to thicker glass.

Tracking System

Kia has even splurged on their own tracking system so you never lose your car again! The UVO eService records the location of your Forte from a compatible smartphone app with options to share the location or receive parking meter reminders. You can view Trip Info that tracks your monthly driving habits like how long it takes you to get from point A to point B so that you can choose different routes if needed. There’s also the ability to set maintenance info into the app, keep track of your service appointments, and even schedule a dealership visit at your local Lawton Kia Service Department!

The 2019 Forte is not lacking in features inside or out! The sleek lines of the Stinger can be seen on the Forte exterior, along with LED Daytime Running Lights and High Beam Assist, while Kia’s 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto graces the interior. For the standard model, there is dual-zone automatic climate control, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Keeping Assist with over 15 cubic feet of cargo space plus split-folding rear seats for storage purposes!

More 2019 Kia Forte Features At Lawton Kia

For the EX trim of the 2019 Forte, there are heated and ventilated front seats with leather upholstery. All trims come with small storage cubbies perfect for phones, as well as various safety features like Rear-view Monitor Dynamic Parking Guidance, Antilock Brake Assist, Smart Cruise Control, Traction Control System, Blind Spot Collision Warning, Hill Start Assist Control, voice command navigation, and wireless charging.

Follow the Van Living Trend in a 2019 Kia Sorento.

Sometimes our lives are just a mess. We have all heard of spring cleaning, but it would be helpful if summer, fall, and winter cleaning were a part of life, too. Cleansing and minimizing are both a part of the recent Minimalism trend inspiring new lifestyles. 

Minimalism consists of clearing out your closets, donating possessions, and moving into tiny homes. Beyond the tiny homes trend, there is a new and growing trend. Living in vans! Living in vans saves money, limits space, and experience more with less. Van living Youtube videos encourage viewers to travel more, spend less on rent, and be free to go wherever they want and do whatever they need. 

Before jumping on the bandwagon and asking your mom to borrow her early 2000s minivan for a week to test it out, consider looking into the new 2019 Kia Sorento! The new Sorento offers a way to not only experience van living but also conquer the mountains.

The sleek, stylish, and spacious 2019 Kia Sorento offers standard seven passenger seating, a WIRELESS CHARGING PAD accompanied by AUX and USB input jacks, as well as an optional 8 inch touch screen navigation system. It also features a rear-camera display, blind spot warnings, and remote keyless entry. 

If you want to have it all, a 2019 Sorento sounds like the best option! Lawton Kia located in Lawton, Oklahoma would love to host you for a test drive in a new 2019 Sorento.

Kia has become known for it’s innovation in new cars and in other aspects of the automotive industry. The manufacturer’s innovation and quality is so great the used Kias are some of the best used cars on the market. Kia has now taken another step forward with the newest innovative creation, the 8 speed automatic front wheel transmission.

This new transmission was created by Kia engineers so that the front end of Kia cars are lighter and safer. Eight-gear transmissions have existed for rear-wheel drive vehicles for years, but this is the first one available for front-wheel drive vehicles. The reason it is such a feat is because there are many size constraints in a front-wheel drive vehicle, caused by the engine, the suspension and the auxiliary components under the hood. This eight-speed transmission allows for smoother transition from gear to gear, it weights much less than a typical six-gear transmission, and it is the same size as it’s smaller counterpart.

This new transmission debuted in the 2017 Kia Cadenza, one of Kia’s top-selling sedans.

Kia showcased the new 2018 Stinger at the North American International Auto Show, winning multiple design awards in the process.

To the delight of many Oklahoma drivers, Kia is branching away from its usual conservative designing and has developed a much sportier and aggressive creation in the 2018 Kia Stinger. Along with a more athletic exterior, it also includes an engine capable of producing some impressive power. It hosts a 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6, engine producing 365 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque.

The interior of the Kia Stinger tells a very different story. With a modern and sleek style, this new car includes a 7.0-inch touch screen infotainment system in its dash. As well as wireless device charging, plenty of legroom, a heads-up display and optional Harman/Kardon audio system. Its safety features will also include a Lane Assist System, Driver Attention Alert, Emergency Breaking, Forward Collision Assistance, and Blind Spot Detection. All of these features make us think it will be one of Kia’s best vehicles. It will be perfect for drivers all over Oklahoma, including Lawton.

The 2018 Kia Stinger will hit the showroom floor in the summer of 2017. More information on fuel efficiency and features will continue to be released in the mean time.

Crash Tests

In terms of crash tests, the Forte passed with ease. It received a score of Good in every test including a difficult small-overlap front test that has prevented the Forte from earning TSP+ in the past. The Forte HID projectors equipped with automatic high beams also achieved a Good rating.
