Great vehicle simple and straight forward

This vehicle met all my expectations, has plenty of body room for 5 people comfortably. There’s a useful USB/ Aux port, 2 12v plugs, integrated phone answering. Absolutely no problems what’s so ever with vehicle, has ran like a champ and has plenty more life.

Great value for the price.

The car has met all my expectations. There is plenty of space in the back seats for my kids. The truck is big enough to hold my work items and still get groceries. The performance is exactly how I thought it would be.

Most reliable car I have owned.

Excellent power and performance with superb gas mileage. Comfortable pleasure to drive with or without additional passengers. Handled well in any weather condition. Low maintenance required.

Reliable car to own, but passenger SEAT SIT TO LO

The OPTIMA 2015 was a good car to own for me. The look and color was right, driving the car felt sexy with speed, I saved a lot of money on gas. BUT, the passenger seat was too low. NEEDED the SEAT Lumbar support and Seat Cushion Height. OVERALL NICE CAR TO HAVE. PS The maintenance plan was Affordable

Most unreliable car I have ever owned

I purchased a 2015 Kia Optima sxl which had about 42,000 miles on it. I baby the car , synthetic oil changes and 93 octane gas and maintenance done on a regular basis. My engine just blew on the vehicle with 48,000 miles on it and I had just put new tires anew oil change with synthetic and had additional work done 3 weeks ago at Kia which cost me $1,200 out of pocket to fix some parts and fans that went bad. Now my car needs a new engine after 48,000 miles its really unbelievable. There is a class action lawsuit against Kia for their theta 2 engines the 2.4 liter and 2.o turbo which I have. If I would haved researched a bit further I would have never bought this vehicle. The same is to be said for the Hundai sonata lines that use the exact same theta 2 engiens (GDI). They have recalled almost 2 million Kias and nearly 500,000 Hundais. My next car will definitely be a honda, Nissan or toyota. Do yourself a favor stay away from all Kias as they are having engine shavings in the mnufacturing process of their engines and htried to hide the defective eng9nes from consumers untill enough of us had enough and launched a class action lawsuit against them. Their engines are also prone to fires just google it and your jaw will drop at the issues millions of owners are having with these vehicles.

Nicest car I have ever owned.

Lexus options at a Kia price and 36MPG!! 73,000 Miles since new and not one repair. Incredible value for the money! I have owned Three Kia's and loved them all.
