Love my Optima.

I love these late model Kia Optimas. They have this leak lines and look of a Jaguar but I believe they look much better.

A year later... Still in love

Very sporty. Gets lots compliments. Pretty good on gas. Bluetooth comes in handy. Reliable. Powerful but takes a full seconds to fully take off. Has safety guards built in somehow for those rough pot-hole street to avoid loss of control. Love the gas tank button within car on driver door. Spacious for passengers. Currently 64,000 mi.

Most reliable and well made car we have evere own.

We have two Kia's purchased at Century 3 Kia, West Mifflin, 2014 Optima and 2014 Centuria, they are both well made, nice body, no issues or any type of repairs needed when taking the car for inspection, a lot of leg room, and trunk room.

Love my Kia Optima

Probably the nicest car I've ever owned. Great on gas and very roomy for a comfortable commute. No complaints.

Good car.

Bought this car to replace my 2012 Focus. Not dissapointed! I love the performance and roominess of this car. For a larger car the gas mileage is very good.

it's broken down on me and left me sitting

I wish I could get a warranty return on this car and get my money back. I've taken it in on a handful of problems and the suspension is terrible!! The outside looks great but they used cheap plastics on the interior and their parts always go bad. I like how comfortable it is in the car but I'm sure if I didn't have heated and cooled seats I'd hate it. The speakers rattle in the doors and I took it into a dealer for warranty and they said it was "normal". I'm so ready to get rid of this car.

Sleek, smooth ride, comfortable, reliable.

This is the first Kia I've drove and once I did I was quick to move forward with it after reading great reviews on it. The downside of interior is that the passenger seat sits very low with no adjustment option, also alot of plastic so has a hard feel but overall is comfortable and roomy. Exterior is sleek and a clean design. It handles well and a very smooth enjoyable car to drive.

My little sports car

This car is what I consider my little sports car!!! Great pick up, heated and cooled leather seats up front and heated rear seats, awesome sound system, very sporty exterior appearance and awesome panoramic sunroof!! And all for a very reasonable price!!! And nothing looks like cheap plastic!!
