2013 Kia Optima consumer reviews

I bought ths car and besides the recalls on it, it's been a great car. Great gas mileage, looks sporty enough for this 60 yr old woman. I would of preferred leather interior and chrome wheels. Also wanted sunroof but for the year it had great mileage

My kia seized on me going 70 mph on Hwy. No check engine light or oil light gave any warnings!! Kia did replace engine but it now has less power and not good gas mileage. I loved my car, but wish I could afford to trade it. I'm a single lady and don't trust my car to get me to any destination.

This car was purchased 3 years ago and I had to only replace the starter. The steering wheel coupler went bad luckily it was a recall on it so it was covered.

So my fiancé purchased her 2013 Kia Optima LX in 2016 and the crap I gotta tell you about this car first off don't try changing the back rotors by yourself. Your welcome! Next I have griped about this car since she purchased it without really taking the time to feel the experience. When I first drove it I was like ehh not enough power "Slap shift helps" but, what can I expect from a sedan. Now maintaining this thing. The parts are expensive as s**t my Infiniti doesn't even cost this much on parts so Kia idk xxx y'all smoking but okay. Other than that we purchased this thing with 74k miles and today it's at 167,269 miles and all I've done other than standard tires oil and brakes is the alternator finally went out 2 weeks ago. I got a new one and she seems fine so we'll see how much longer it lasts cause y'all making me lose hope in this xxx! Lol

There's plenty of room. I am 6'3 and I have so much legroom in the front and the back. There are heated seats in the back and the front has heated and cooled seats. The infinity stereo system is one of the best systems I have heard in a car hands down. This car drives so smooth even when driving at high speeds and it corners well. Overall this is a great buy for the price you pay.

I had a sonata and the optima is nicer being from the same company. Nice ride, sporty look, head turning. I've had no issue with the car thus far. Only issue was with the dealer Car Max.

very comfortable and reliable, love all the features and accessories, features on the steering makes driving very comfortable. Very fuel economy and great miles per tank

This is the worst car that I ever owned. KIA doesn't like to stand behind their lousy product. I will never recommend a KIA OPTIMA to anyone. One thing after another. Always needing brakes or some other issue every single day. No more KIA for me and my family. No Thanks KIA!!!!

I have 2013 Kia Optima sx. 2nd owner I got it at 20,000 miles. I have nothing but one huge mechanic bill after the other with out fail every year I have a huge mechanic bill!!! Learned my lesson I will do major research on any thing I buy from here on out!! I call my car a beautiful piece of sh*t !

I really love this car. I got the EX trim with the upgraded interior and sound system. I get excellent gas mileage and maintenance has been minimal. Currently I have 62k miles and other than oil changes and tire rotations the only repair I've needed was a brake caliper that froze when installing new brake pads. I love the upgraded sound system with the digital 630 watt amp and 8 Infinity speakers and a subwoofer. Handling is excellent and when traveling over 80mph it's as smooth as doing 30mph. The only negatives are the stock tires are terrible in winter, no spare tire included and the Traction Control is awful. The features, low maintenance and reliability far outweigh the negatives. I am currently looking at purchasing a new Optima only because they added so many new safety features.
