Most reliable and beautiful car I owned

I love it! It's a beautiful car that rides smooth. It has power plus all of the bells and whistles. Definitely would recommend it to anyone. Kia has made a believer in me.

Great car

Very happy. It handled well in the Buffalo Winter. I have had no mechanical issues at all in 2 1/2 years.

Best car for the Price :-)

The car is nicely built with awesome options and very comfortable. Gas mileage is amazing as well. The price of the car was great considering everything I received with it.

Fantastic...except in the snow

I've had my Optima EX since June 2015 and I love everything about it except for how it handles in the snow. Seriously, if it wasn't for its poor snow performance I'd give it a solid 5 star rating all around. When I take my car on long trips I get 37 mpg. The heated steering wheel is amazing in the winter. The overall handling of the car in normal weather conditions is sporty but comfortable. You really get a lot for your money with a Kia. I've heard from more than one person "This is a Kia??? This is NICE!!" I'm seriously considering getting the Sorento when my lease is up next year.

Lots of bang for the buck!

Great styling and power, all the bells and whistles, great gas mileage, what's not to like! The Optima is optimal for our needs and wants.

Good value

I was unfamiliar with Kia before buying this car. I did a lot of research and was pleased to find out that it got extremely high ratings for safety, performance and reliability. It drives well and looks good.

Optima

I love my Optima! From July 2016 til present. I am still excited about my car. Thanks to a wonderful, helpful staff. I enjoy taking my car to be serviced and talking to the Sweet Cindy at the service desk.
