Happy with my new car

I've owned the car for 5 days now, and so far its luxuriousness has measured up to my other car! It handles well and I especially love that it remembers my seat setting. :) The navigation system is tops !! The best thing of all is that I will not have to search for my keys ever again !! The sales staff was a pleasure to work with !!

Gas saving car

The price of the car could have been less, but it is a great car. JTKia on Killian road in Columbia,SC has the best salesman I have ever met. I like the Bluetooth feature, I especially like the interior at night with the red lights. I also like the leather seats, but not so fun of the black carpet.

Love My Kia!

I am really glad I chose the Kia Optima EX, it has exceeded my expectations overall! It is very reliable on the road and has many safety features that make me feel very safe. The exterior is very attractive and the interior design is very chic and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it.

great car

My name is Elisa and I leased a 2012 kia optima 2 years ago, I love the car and my salesperson Randy Rosario was very helpful in me picking a car for me. He still continues to help me if I need it. That is what you call customer care.

Love My Kia Optima

We looked around and compared several different kinds of vehicles, but we kept coming back to the Kia. We liked the look, comfort and affordability. Now that we have had it for a few weeks, we really like it and tell everyone. In fact, a co-worker purchased one a week after we got ours! The people at the dealership were great. Very friendly and helpful. We will go back there in the future and purchase another Kia.

Central Kia Irving TX

I bought an Optima today after having a Nissan for the last 4 years. The design of the car is far worth the affordable price. I worked with Robin at the dealership and she was awesome - she had already done her homework by the time I arrived at the dealership. I would not only recommend the car but definitely the dealership.

Optima again.

I bought 1st optima 2011(from C company M model) and switched to T company C model. But I changed to 2014 optima again after having C model for 11months. There were some reason why I changed it back to optima. 1. Optima's navigation and rear viewer is brighter and much much easier to see(it actually facing to driver) 2. MUCH More options at same price, such as panorama sun roof, rear seat heating, driver/passenger heat/cooling, auto defogger, 2x pwr outlet(12V) and etc.. 3. Design.. it's looks better for me. :D 3. Easy to deal.

The best jack of all trades car out there.

I needed a commuter car, with good gas mileage, 4 doors to take the family around, power, because I am a man and I always want more power, front wheel drive for weather control, style, and a relatively low price 17-24k. There are only 2 cars that met my standards, the altima and the optima. Needless to say though I never made it to the nissan dealer after test driving the optima sx turbo and its appealing blue/purplish color. So far I am getting over 30mpg on the highway in its Eco mode, if I am in the mood for power I change into the Sport mode and this car will put your head back while hugging the road well. The exterior is a head turner, especially the blue color and the led headlights. The interior is also pleasing from the bucket seats to the cockpit style dash and Nascar style steering wheel. My wife and I love this car and so far it has been the best vehicle purchase we have ever made. I recommend this car to anyone who needs an all in one vehicle.

2012 Kia Optima Value

I purchased a used 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid in late 2012 with only 7900 miles, knowing I was really buying a new car. I love the car and all the features , but now reality has set in that the Value is $10,000 less than what I owe. The car only has 50,000 miles . Why is the Kia model losing so much value so fast ? Purchase price $25,000 , Value $14,000..
