Gas hog but pretty!

It's very spacious and smooth (for most part) shakey whenever I hit 70 mph, I read that's normal for Kia. It's a slower car, sucks on gas the eco save is a joke! But nice. I hit a curb today doing 5mph, and shattered my rim? Not the tire but the rim! So that's 150$ for sliding into a 2 in curb, cheap rims.... but stylish, smooth, clean and sleek. Gas hog, slow, and LOTS of blind spots! I mean TONS

Reliable with a smooth ride

I absolutely love this car. I have never had any problems with it. Provides a very smooth ride. I love the Bluetooth that allows talking on your phone without every having to take your hands off the wheel. I want to keep it but our growing family isn?t allowing for that.

Nicest and smoothest car I've ever owned!

I have a 2013 Kia Optima, fully loaded. This car meets all of my wants and needs. I love all the extra features I get to enjoy, along with a smooth ride and good gas mileage! My favorite part is the heated/cooled seats and panoramic sunroof. I would recommend this car to anyone!
