"I traded my '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo for what I thought was a lesser vehicle. I was amazingly surprised with this new Optima! I Could not believe how nice this car is. First let's talk styling. This car doesn't look like a Kia...my co-workers thought it was an Acura TL. Now I am not one to drive a 4-cyl car but the 2.4 in this car is quick and it's easy to hit 80 if you are not careful. The only issue I have had was a mysterious pull to the right but i took the car to back to the dealership and the service tech fixed the problem...A weight came off the right tire. So he rebalanced all four tires just to make sure the car rode right for free(love that warranty). Now the most important fuel economy. I just took a trip from Panama City Fl to Knoxville Tn on slightly over 1 tank of gas. Wow that was close to 600 miles! It would have taken less gas had I not been cruising at 80 mph on the interstate. All I can say is that Kia has a winner with this car and I expect to have this car for years to come."

"this is my 5th kia and it is by far the best one i have owned. i looked at american, japanese cars and for the money this car has more features than you can get on other cars. i have had no problems so far on this car, but i havent had it very long. my other kia's only had minor problems that only took a hour or so for them to repair. i have owned many brands from BMW to FORD and i feel very confident in this car. i have the 2.4 4cyl. and it has plenty of pep. i have had many comments from people that were suprised to find out it was a kia. it looks like it cost thousands more. it wont be my last kia."
