Canadian Options? USA Options?

I just bought mine here in Nova Scotia Canada. 2.4 Sedan SX loaded.
Now on the Kia Canada site when you build a forte on the site and well I got an SX fully loaded so in the included features area it states "Side mirrors with integrated LED turn signals" Correct me if I'm wrong but the integrated turn signals do not seem to be LED. Hmm... Also I looked on the Kia USA site and you guys there as it claims has a sensor in the passenger front seat that if there's nobody in the seat - the air bag off light comes on beside the clock on the dash?
Now I do not have that feature of the airbag sensor in the seat. Does this seem right? Anyone in Canada have the feature? Do all you all in the USA have the feature?
Also on the site it states that you can control the audio system through voice as well as the phone. Can anyone control the audio system through the voice controller?
No option I was told here in Canada for a factory auto starter and they wouldn't install the after-market one I had bought before pickup in fear of voiding warranty grr... They probably just didn't want to include the labor as I asked.
Oh well got a great deal! Love the Forte!

and dont forget the climate control vs regular A/C
chrome door handles vs body color body handles
(i know my US model SX koup has airbag light when no one is sitting in passenger seat)
good old regular light bulbs in my SX
no 'controlling the radio' thru voice- but then again- after my attempts at the blue tooth voice phone dialing- thank you that i dont have control of the radio via voice...

and just curious- why if your canadian car comes with factory autostarter- why you are looking at an aftermarket one?

Hey jarret_g.
Got mine at Yarmouth Kia waaaaay down south. They have one at Bridgewater Kia 2010 Kia Forte 2.4L SX For Sale | BRIDGEWATER NS

Where abouts are you?
We live on Cape Sable Island so we were only 40 minutes to Yarmouth.

The problem with the dealer sites is that they really have crappy websites. I had to call around to all the dealerships listed on the find a dealer link on Kia Canada I actually ended up emailing the Yarmouth Kia and got lucky i think. They had a fully loaded demo with lots of accessories there with only 1500kms on it. The general manager just drove it back n forth to home but wanted to load it up for show so we stole that one right away!

I'd definitely call all the dealerships in the area and be stern as to what you want. they can usually get from other dealers too as I've been told.
Apparently Newbrunswick has many and not far.
Hope you find yours!
keep me posted.

Cheers.

I'm way up north in Cape Breton. I've been talking to Marsha at the Yarmouth Kia though about an SX, she was the one that informed me of the new features and the luxury sx trim level. They seem like a good dealership.

I'm heading in on monday to talk prices on the sportage, i've heard that the interest rate is like...4.9% though, so if that's the case i'll be getting a forte.

How much did you pay for yours if you don't mind me asking?
