Just a decade ago, people used to be skeptical about the idea of purchasing used cars, and they had fair reasons for it. However, the dynamics have changed, and the tables have turned. Thanks to dealerships like Bakersfield Used Cars, purchasing a used car nowadays can be a very wise and profitable decision. Since you're looking for a used car, we'll assume that you're already aware of the benefits of purchasing a pre-owned car. While we have the best inventory of used cars in Bakersfield CA, this blog will tell you some of the best cars we have available for you. Let's begin. 

• 2018 Kia Forte LX

The 2018 Kia Forte is a compact sedan or hatchback that is capable of competing with giants of the industry. The Forte sells itself on its spacious interior and great mileage. If top safety ratings and simple infotainment are what you're looking for in a compact car, the Forte is a good option. The Forte gained width and length but not a height in its most recent redesign, which works particularly well in the sedan's attractive, elongated roofline and profile. The interior of the Forte feels simpler and more straightforward than that of Kia's larger vehicles; it has a sporty appearance, with a clean layout and effective infotainment systems. 

With the Forte's four-cylinder engines, performance is guaranteed. The base inline-4 models have better fuel efficiency than the higher-output direct injection models. The acceleration is smooth but predictable and consistent. A 6-speed manual transmission is also available, but given Forte's simple economy-car handling, we'd opt for the 6-speed automatic. The 2018 Forte has plenty of space inside, and four adults can easily fit. The Forte has excellent small-item and trunk space, and it makes an effort to present high-quality plastic trim and to reduce road noise. So, check our inventory of Kia used vehicles, and buy one when it comes for sale. 

• 2021 Sonata

As a matter of fact, Hyundai has always set itself apart from its competition with, ahead of time-thinking, remarkably innovative technology, and catchy designs. These are all the characteristics that Hyundai gathered in their most recent Sonata model. From the reshaped exterior to its super sleek, tech-centered futuristic interior, the classic Sonata is sure to take any car lover's breath away.

Over the years, Hyundai has remained loyal to its goal of providing unique, luxurious and enjoyable driving and passenger experience. For this, the 2021 Sonata strikes the perfect mix between luxury, intuitive technology, and style, shaping up the sedan you'll feel like driving every day. Furthermore, Sonata brings a variety of optional features enabling you to actually customize your driving experience.

If looked at overall, the car is designed to resemble a coupe car's shape, completed with sleek, sporty lines. The Sonata's front features a Digital Pulse Cascading Grille and Daytime Running Lights that are visible in all weather conditions to enhance vehicle visibility. Premium LED projector headlights are also available for increased visibility.

The interior design and aesthetic are user-friendly and convenient in terms of technology. In addition to all this, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported by Sonata's infotainment system, allowing you to use your mobile device interface in your car easily and safely. The 10.25" touchscreen display allows you to access your favorite apps and settings. 

Whether you're looking for this car or a car by Mazda or Honda in Bakersfield, Bakersfield Used Cars has them available for you. 

• 2019 Mazda CX-5 Touring

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 Touring is an excellent SUV. With its swift steering, agile handling, responsive transmission, and comfortable ride, it provides one of the best driving experiences of any compact SUV. The CX-5 has three engine options that appeal to a wide range of drivers, whether they want faster acceleration or better fuel economy. 

This Mazda impresses on the inside with high-quality materials and appealing styling. In addition to the features found in the Sport trim, the Mazda CX-5 Touring includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, two additional USB ports, a six-speaker stereo, and synthetic leather upholstery with suede inserts. It also includes adaptive cruise control with pedestrian detection, full-speed automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and rain-sensing windshield wipers as standard. 

The base engine is powerful enough for most daily driving situations, but the optional turbocharged 2.5-liter engine allows the CX-5 to accelerate faster and overtake slower cars on the highway. The standard transmission is a responsive, smooth six-speed automatic that works amazingly well.

We have the car available at a very reasonable price. Whether you're looking for a Mazda or a Ford in Bakersfield, we're your best choice.

• 2020 Kia Sorento LX

Despite the fact that the crossover kingdom is vast in 2020, the Kia Sorento stands out for its practical size. This Kia is about the same length as a typical two-row mid-size SUV, but it has three rows of seating. If you've reached the point in your family's life where five seats aren't enough but you don't want to go minivan, the seven-passenger Sorento is worth considering. If you like the seating arrangement, the Kia's pleasant interior and long list of standard features might just seal the deal.

The Sorento's cabin is light and airy, thanks to large windows and an available dual-panel panoramic sunroof. Overall, material quality is good, with harder, cheaper plastics kept out of sight. All controls, including the climate-control system's hard buttons and knobs, an optional 7.0-inch display in the gauge cluster, and an intuitive touchscreen infotainment interface flanked by secondary hard buttons, are logically labeled and located. The interior space is well utilized and can be comfortably furnished. Despite the fact that access to the third row is limited to the passenger side, the Kia excels in comfort and ergonomics.

Standard features include a 7.0-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. SoundHound, iHeartRadio, and Pandora are preloaded, and Yelp can be added later. Top-tier SX models include a Harman/Kardon premium audio system with 10 speakers, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with navigation, and an integrated modem that allows you to control certain vehicle functions remotely.
