"bought mine new about 6 years ago. at almost 100,000 miles, only maintenance stuff so far. can't beat this car for the money. perfect car for day to day driving and commuting. mechanic tells me he sees these cars with 200,000 miles on engine routinely. I will keep driving it (at this point for free!!!! (no car payment)) for years. arguably the best car for the money I've ever owned. and I've owned many including Honda, mazda, chevro, ford, dodge, Nissan, mitsu, the list goes on."

"this car is loaded with value and displays excellent reliability in all areas of operation. I find the excellent gas mileage and smoothness of highway cruising especially pleasing. The air conditioner keeps the interior c chilly under the hottest conditions and the radio sounds rich and full as does the CD player. Trunk space is more than adequate as is leg and head room. I love this car."

"I had never even hear of Kia before driving this car. Needless to say, I was SHOCKED. I loved it! There's nothing bad about it. The ride is smooth & it looks beautiful on the inside & out."

"We purchased this car in April,2010 with just over 30,000 miles on it. It's the EX V6 model. We absolutely LOVE it! We previously owned several Nissan's. This car was much less expensive and we are just as happy!"

"We bought our Optima new and we have not regretted buying it. I highly recommend this car to anyone looking for room , comfort, and affordability. I had reservations about KIA's and I don't know why because I'm totally sold on the KIA Optima now!"

"I've had my car for about 3 months and I love my new baby! I have the V6 engine & it has some kick to it & it rides so smooth. I had the 2004 Optima before this one & that was a great car also, I had it for 3.5 years and I had no problems with it... They have really improved over the years and I am so impressed at how fare they've become, the Optima are much more upscale from when they first came out, a lot of people can't believe it's a Kia I'm driving.... I lot of people underestimate Kia but don't I tell ya, they are becoming one of the best cars to have and at a great price!!!"

"I have one year with my Kia Optima- 16k miles mpg- 26-32(hwy). Good performance and better interior & quality than higher priced cars. No problems at this time except a bushing replaced on the frontend. I have heard that you must be very diligent in maint so I follow all of the dealer & Kia guidelines and reccomendations, which is a little pricey if you don't have a service special that covers it. Overall a great affordable car"

"I have spent my etire life working in the defense and and space industries. Including the B52 bomber and the NASA Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. I know quality when I see it. The Kia Optima has it. Materials and workmanship are first class, and form, fit and function are near perfect."

"I love this car! Gave my 2004 Sorento to my daughter, and driving the ex fully loaded optima. I get great compliments on this car. Most people are amazed that it's a kia. They are very impressed that it looks so classy and sporty. Kia is up there with the big guns, just without the big price tags."
