An excellent vehicle

This car is a smooth running car and so economical. By far it's the best car I've ever owned. The design and style is awesome as well. I plan on upgrading to a newer one when I'm ready to trade in.

Stylish and practicle

I have this car and I hate to have to sell it. It drives great, handles well, is designed for comfort, and rides like a dream. Great car!

Kia Optima scale turbo

This car ride is super nice. The handling and performance for a four cylinder is unbelievable. I would definitely buy another Kia Optima Sx or a axle model.

Best car I?ve owned so far

For a non-luxury vehicle it?s pretty luxurious. It rides amazingly well, the seats are beyond comfortable, so comfortable that my husband falls asleep in the passenger seat every time we go for a drive! None of my past vehicles can come close to holding a candle to this beautiful thing

Passenger seat could sit higher

The passenger seat in the 2014 Optima is really low. I did not notice when I purchased it. Now I have a permanent cushion in order to compensate for easier exit of car and viewing ease. Also the headrests are not functional. The lean forward too far. Not comfortable for any size driver or passenger. The car is great on mileage! It has ample room for passengers and trunk space! Only had to take it in for one service and I've had it for almost 5 years. Love the car except for the noted two items. I will continue to buy Kia as well. This is my second Optima. Have had 7 others from various Kia models over the years. All were great choices.

Drives so good

This car fits all my needs perfectly. Drives well, gets amazing gas mileage, sleek look, this is an excellent car for the money. The only complaint I?ve had is that the passenger seat in the front sits too low (I?m driving, so I wouldn?t know), but overall this car makes an excellent family car.
