I drove one and loved it!!

It’s not the quietest car I have ever driven but it’s quieter than a brand new Ford Focus SE. performance is better than I expected. I first drove one when I had my learners permit about a year ago I now have a license and and hoping I can get myself an optima. The peppy performance lead to my first accidental burnout!! It’s easy to drive has good get up and go. It. Is comfortable easy to figure out drives good and all around is a good car.

Crashing in these cars are very likely

Car haves a lot of issues. I loved everything about this car kept it maintained on the regular. PLS READ YOUR RECALLS July 1,2018 the Kia Optima I own caused me to reveen into traffic hitting 2 cars. Kia will not fix or replace my car
