Kia was good car until you get high mileage .

I had the kia for 6 1\2 years and it started using oil blowing light bulbs the sun roof leak.Then it got a recall on the motor and the dealership look at it and said it was okay knowing it was not because it was using oil real bad.I paid to change the valve gaskets and it still leak oil ,part of the oil was going out the tail pipes.I wanted so bad to keep my car but in the in its started cutting off when I would come to a stop so I was afraid in the in I would be in a accident.If I could have fix the problem I would have kept my car but I choose to trade it in for something else hoping that people who got my car would fix it because my car was too of the line.

Love, love, love my optima!

This is the second optima I've purchased brand new and I will be a KIA owner for life. My optima is spacious, comfy and dependable while it seemed to stay in date despite being 7 years old. KIA was ahead of the curve when they made the optima!

Cute, most reliable car I've owned.

Overall it's a very good car that was purchased at a great very reasonable price. The seats are very comfortable with the driver's seat being VERY customizable; the only thing I dislike is the color of the seats. It runs great and is very reliable.

Im in love

I really love this car. Havent owned it but a month now. Never thought i would find something to make me stop driving my 2005 camry. My kids love riding with the sunroof back. I love the keyless push start.

Great working and looking car!

This car was great on gas and in good working order. This car was exactly what we needed at the time. The interior and exterior was in excellent condition.

The styling and options are above the average.

The styling and options are amazing. I have the SX T-GDI and I love the turbo. The only 2 items of concern are all of the factory safety recalls that I had to take it to the dealer for and the fact that it doesn't ride as smooth as it should, being a sporty and quick vehicle.
