2012 Kia Optima consumer reviews

I love my fully loaded Kia Optima SX Turbo. A new one is $40k and mine will spin your head and looks new. I found it on cars.com for $8900. Front and rear sunroof..dual climate control..infinity sound system..same styling as a 2019...tap the gas and the turbo kicks in sirius xm...blue tooth quiet smooth ride .... My favorite car ever.

This is the best car I have ever owned I love it the ride is so smooth and it's amazing on gas can't wait to see how it is treating me in 5 years or more

reat sedan for the money. The alarm system is way too sensitive. Our summer heat and sun (I live in Phx, Az.) trigger it too go off when sitting in direct sunlight.

I went shopping for a reliable used car. When I was browsing the lot, I had no idea what I wanted in a car and was being really indecisive. I use to have a 2002 Kia and I knew I didn’t want another Kia. I came across the 2012 Kia Optima GDI turbo and didn’t realize it was a Kia because of the new logo. Once I sat down in the driver seat and felt the luxury interior I fell in love. One of my favorite features is when you shut the car off the driver seat automatically slides back making exiting and entering the car a breeze. The turbo and 274hp makes this car super fun to drive and the great gas mileage is a plus.

This car is filled with all kinds of features. Love heated and cooled seats along with heated steering wheel. Most people say they do not need heated steering wheel, but once you experience it, you realize how great it is and can cut down on heat needed in the car with heated wheel and seats.

Great, stylish, reliable vehicle. I loved this car - got around good in the winter on our snowy dubuque roads. I highly recommend this car to any and all.

This car is reliable, comfortable and pretty! We love KIS in general and have a Forte and a van! We will definitely buy another KIA when the time comes.

Absolute worst car i have ever owned in my life... Not to mention the two recalls, i have had so much done to this car. Door lock actuator,steering couplings,motor replaced prior to recall,brake lights staying on, car not accelerating at spontaneous times, and the fact that it couple possibly catch fire because they're doing that spontaneously as well. I requested a buy back for safety reason,and of course they told me no. I would NOT RECOMMEND KIA FOR ANYTHING ...THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE I REPEAT NOT RELIABLE AND MY KIA IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS CURRENTLY NOT WORKING AS OF YESTERDAY. WHEN IT STOPPED IN TRAFFIC FOR THE SECOND TIME...... I'M GOING TO EXPLORE MY OPTIONS WITH LEGAL COUNSEL BECAUSE THIS CAR IS A DEATH MACHINE AND I DO NOT WANT TO FALL VICTIM TO IT AGAIN AND IT POTENTIALLY CAUSE ME MY LIFE...... A CONCERNED KIA OWNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only used for local and short highway jaunts. Always dependable, comfortable, and cost-effective! The proverbial 'to church/shopping and then to home vehicle! Great MPG! Must see to believe!

This is a great little car that gets great mileage and is very comfortable. Everyone should try it at least once. You might like it.
