When deciding which optional extras to tick, bear in mind that the best deal new Kia isn't necessarily the model with lots of extras (despite what many new Kia dealers try to tell you). The fact is that most new Kias lose money faster on the optional extras than on the Kia itself - so the extras you choose (even at the new Kia best price) doesn't necessarily offer the best value. When it comes to ex-demo Kias or ready-built showroom new Kias for sale at a main dealer, the specification has already been fixed and cannot be changed; so if you need a new Kia from stock, be spec-flexible. New Kia dealers tend to pre order stock they can sell easily - typically Silver, Grey or Black Kias with few or no options at all. The best discount new Kias are normally specified like that - ie popular colours with few options. Car finance is another consideration when choosing to pay extra for optional equipment. If you buy a new Kia on the best PCP deal or Kia leasing / contract hire package you can find, the options may ruin your saving; this is because handing the Kia back at the end loses the FULL value of the extra equipment you paid for. To avoid this potential loss, you have three possibilities: 1) select a higher Kia trim level ie Sport over an S; 2) don't order expensive options; 3) buy your new Kia on HP or with a personal loan (where you always own the Kia and the optional extras).
