"For the money, you cannot get a better car. I got the loaded 2011 Kia Optima with every option and after rebates paid around 23K for leather, heated seats, aircondition seats, sun roof, nav system, infinty sound system with butt rattiling sub woofers, heating steering wheel, voice operating system that you can tell the car what to do... It's quick with direct injection and a warranty that cannot be beat..."

"What a gem! lots of bells and whistles for a great price when compared to Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Kia will have them all looking over their shoulder with this 2011 Optima 2.,4L 6 speed auto tranny. Trick is now to get the resale price up to par with the others. I won't be getting rid of this hot car in the near future anyway, so...."

"bought this car about 2 weeks ago to get out of a gas guzzling truck , the looks of the car are great and the gas mileage has been a great improvement from what i was shelling out for my truck , its nice to pass the gas stations for a change. The ride is comfortable and very quiet and has plenty of get up and go when you need it , so far so good and also you cant beat the standard waranty 10 year 100,000 mile , 5 year 60,000 bumper to bumper and 5 year 60,000 road side assistance not to mention 3 months satellite radio"

"Can't say enough about my 2011 Optima EX. I have the Tech and Navigation package, fun and easy to use. The gas mileage is as advertised; ride quality smooth; the duel pana sunroof is great. The warranty is unsurpassed. Looks like a much more expensive Lexus or Audi. Always get stares as to "what is it?".......... Fun Fun Fun"

"Great milage,comfortable,rear camera is great! only a few inprovements needed: Woofer needs to be low, not on the rear deck. Horn is weak and cheap, rest of the car is not cheap. Door opens, then comes back at you. need to have better way of staying open on a slight hill. Feels like a $45K plus ride. I would recommend it! Ex VW CC owner, and that too was a good car, but smaller on the inside. Both are quality."

"I have owned my Optima since January 2011, and the vehicle has performed super. I now have 11091 miles and the dealer has been super in their service, (Oil changes). I do have questions asked what is it and I comment a KIA that thinks it is an Audi. Again A great vehicle and is performing up to every thing that was stated by the Dealer."

"This car is awesome! I shopped all around and test drove a bunch of different cars. Acura TSX, TL, Honda Accord, Civic, Ford Fusion, Hyndai Sonata. I liked the Optima the best of them all. I decided to wait until the hybrid came out in June and it was well worth the wait. I have over 6K miles on it now and have had no problems. Just compliments. MPG is lower than advertized and I average about 31 all together. The Tech package is a must! The navi, sound system, and back up camera are really nice. I also love the dual sunroof. Heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats are a plus. Can't find that on most luxury cars. I definitely recommend this car."
