It's awesome

This car is awesome. Like the design and price and warranty and quality and... Got it new. Now almost 7 years and 70k looks like new with two kids and few road trips couldn't make better choice.

Pig with nice lipstick

We bought this car with 0 miles. Long story short it has always had issues with the radio, back up camera and the brakes. And don’t believe the 100k miles warranty because it’s not true. Every time I took the car to check “nothing it’s wrong” the repair Department it’s trained to dismiss you really fast when things are under warranty

Don't not buy KIA

By far Big waste of money, engine blow at 50k got a new engine blow 8 months later they didn't even help me... I had a Nissa rogue all this time 2014 and I only did oil changes. I have a friend in Vancouver that bought the 2019 stinger 2 months engine blow and that car was brand new so it's not just me avoid this brand of vehicles you will waste your money honda nissan toyato and acura are better car brands

Still love my car after 6 yrs.

My only complaint about the car is on the passenger side the seat is very low and cannot be raised any. Otherwise it’s great and very sporty looking.

Loved my 2014 Kia Optima EX so much, bought a 2019

The Kia Optima Ex is in awesome car with great built in features. The 2014 model was completely decked out with every feature possible. On the new models, they moved some of the extras to the SX and upped the pricing for them, so that was disappointing, but still an amazing car. Can't beat the drive for the price; worth every penny. Very few mechanical issues. Mostly battery, but living in heat, that is bound to happen. Would suggest to anyone looking for a fun ride at a reasonable price.

Another great Kia!

Another great Kia. This is my third Kia vehicle that I have owned. It is an upscale model from my previous vehicle. The mileage is lower than normal for its age and I am looking forward to driving this Kia to work for a long time. They are very reliable vehicles.
