Most reliable car I’ve owned.

This car was perfect for me and my family. Met all of our needs and drove better than any car I’ve ever owned. Can’t wait to see what the next owner has to say about this amazing car!

Most impressive mid-size car I ever owned

I enjoy the car very much thus far ...what concerns me though is the fact that the 2.5 litter that I have in my optima had a recall for lower end knocking .... which turned out to be a huge recall

Most reliable car on the market today

This car has given me 0 issues after 5 years and over 50,000 miles. It looks great, runs very well, and saves on fuel. It is by far the best bang for buck Sedan for 2014. It rated as the safest sedan as well in 2014.

It is a nice car

The problem that I have with this vehicle is always ha ing to replace the break lights often. I also had to replace the headlights a number of times. When I first got the car the paint at the bottom of all door started peeling and Kia would not do anything about it. They just told me that it was from getting in and out of the car.

Kia 2014 Optima, Worse car I’ve ever owned‼️

The car is not a comfortable ride, the engine blew up 2 times in the same mth due to metal shavings in the motor from the factory & the malfunction light never came on. I was just told that the oil indicator light is turned off & came from the factory off, My oil was a qt low. How will I know if it is low, if the light doesn’t indicate that it’s low!!! The oil change place said it can be turned on.

Great Car, reliable, good gas mileage!

This car replaced my beloved Toyota Camry that had a fatal argument with a utility pole! I was sceptical at first, but the quality convinced me, I was ok. Roomy, comfortable for little old ladies, easy to get in and out, feels sturdy, good handling, great sound, quiet ride. I'm picky, and hard to convince, so take the word of a Southern belle, this is a great car to drive and own!
