Comfortable and easy to drive

This is the first car I have ever purchased on my own and it will probably my last. I love it and enjoy driving it. Well appointed, practical, comfortable, and a joy to drive.

The first car I got.

The space is big, I?m 6 feet tall and I don?t fell any crowding. The acceleration is good enough for a home car.

Great car but a little uncomfortable

I bought my 2015 Kia Optima 10 months ago with about 30k miles. The exterior of the car was what caught my attention, it is very stylish and has a nice modern look. The car drives very well, it's strong enough in case you need to accelerate quickly and smooth enough when driving at low speeds. The interior is ok, not too modern but it does look nice. There aren't any fancy features on the EX model, just the basics. There is two things I really don't like about this car, the first and most annoying for me it how hard the seats are. After 10 months, I can't seem to find a comfortable position, even if I change the lumbar support adjustment (not sure if this is just an issue with the basic model). The other thing is the car rides low, you have to push yourself out of the car while exiting. This is even worse on the passenger seat, it feels like you are getting out from the car's floor. Besides these two small issues the car seems to be very reliable and durable.

Nicest car I have owned

I used to drive all over Texas for work, and this car was an amazing ride. Great gas mileage, fun, comfortable for long drives and it looked great when driving customers and co-workers.

Most efficient, reliable car I've had.

This car has great leg room, comfortable seats, a huge trunk & a lot of cup holders. Drive was nice & smooth never had any issues with the car I'd get the car again.

Previous Lease

The 2015 Optima was a stylish, sleek car that was fun to drive. I did not find it to be very well equipped for NE Ohio winters, but it was very enjoyable to drive for most of the year.
