Best car I could have bought

This car is perfect for my 25 year old self. It fits my friends and my dogs. The gas tank is huge, it is SO SEXY, it runs great (the batteries are 270 yikes) but this is the perfect car for me

Best Buy That Gets Overlooked

I liked the "sport sedan" look. When I drove one I was sold. Very nice handling, comfortable, and best of all...a GREAT WARRANTY!

Great Car!

Beautiful design. Great performance. Handles well. It looks fast just sitting in a driveway. Comfortable. Stereo is actually great. Very happy with this purchase. My first KIA.

Meet the New Accord/Camry!

Move over Honda and Toyota there's some new competition in town. Had my Optima over 3 years now and I'm still loving it! My black version is a real head-turner! I'll save some time and just say all the good things said in the other reviews are true. Those that criticize it probably wouldn't be happy with any car. One IMPORTANT note - if you find that the steering is too sensitive at highway speeds, i.e. too many little corrections to stay in your lane, there is a simple fix that I had done - a computer adjustment to the driving mode. Research it. My dealer didn't even know about it - I actually showed him a screen shot of the option on a computer menu. The fix was simple - no charge - and it drives straight as a arrow now.

Luxury car at economy price

Push button start, panoramic sunroof, heated front AND rear seats (which most cars in this price bracket don't have), plus terrific on gas hey what's not to like. If I have to pick something negative, the front passenger seat sits rather low...
