2016 Kia Optima consumer reviews

I bought this car from butler Nissan in Macon ga, since I purchased the car it’s been burning oil I keep my oil changed like I’m suppose to even though before the oil change is due i have to add oil to it and more than a few quarts at that. I continuously have to replace the spark plugs on it because of the oil leak. Not to mention a month after purchasing it all 4 window regulators went out it’s been making a knocking noise coming from the steering column or something it’s been one thing after another since I got the car they are not at all worth the money I wouldn’t recommend this car to ANY ONE

This is my 2nd Kia Optima I do not like the windows because all 4 of my windows are working itself down and they're telling me I've got to pay for this it should be a recall by Kia

64,884 Miles and the engine blew up. KIA refuses to help. Why advertise 100,000 mile warranty then refuse to fix it. When I buy a car I expect a minimum of 100,000 mikes I purchased with 21,000 miles on it. Had it for almost 5 years. So you know I don’t drive much.

My 2016 Kia optima EX with all the options is every bit as good as my 96 Camry LE. The only reason why my rating is not 5 stars across-the-board is that there is a slight oil consumption that will be fixed through my dealer. Excellent 4 door with the 2.4 naturally aspirated engine.

I had a 2015 Kia Optima that I dearly loved. I was rear ended and it was totaled so I bought a 2016 Kia Optima. At 67,000 the check engine light began flashing. I then learned that there is something built wrong on Kia Optima engines that sometimes Kia will fix and sometimes not. Another issue was my car was consuming massive amounts of oil and that was with regular, on time, oil changes. I changed the PCV valve, as I had read in forums, that changing it could help reduce oil consumption but it did not. I can not, in good conscience, recommend this car.

Overall the Optima is a reliable car, my car has 94+ miles. I was coming home from a long visit in Va just 15 miles from home in Texas the car just cut off.I got the car tolled to Kia.The service person told me that it would cost 125.00 for diagnosis check. If it under warranty I don't paid anything. Few days later I get a call that my car was not under warranty because it didn't have some kind of software upgrade. I said what was that, Kia claim that they sent the recall info to everyone. I told them this was the first time I heard about it. They at the Kia corporate office said we can't help. My problem is that I still owe for this vehicle and now I have to replace a motor. The original limited life time warranty was no good anymore. I don't think that was right because I didn't know about the software upgrade. I have always kept good maintenance on the vehicle. She was saying did you Kia. No I didn't I brought the vehicle from a different dealership. I think it was wrong because I didn't know about the upgrade. My vehicle is very important to me and that was something that I should have been told about. How many people out there that don't know about the upgrade. I was upset because I told my friends Kia is the best now I look stupid. I felt like I was betrayed. Now I'm out of a car and still have car payments. Thank Kia for causing me mental stress. So now I need to get money to fix Bae(my car).

I get the oil changed every 90 day but a week or two after I have to get a top of because it’s bone dry

We’ve had our knock sensor go out every 10,000 miles since we’ve had our Kia. Would not recommend, unless you want a car that goes into limp mode every 10,000 miles and takes 2-4 weeks to get repaired and warranty approved.

This car is the best car to have it's my first kia and i don't regret my choice when I picked it out. It drives nice, it's great on gas and the speed of it is love. I would recomend this car to anyone that ask about a good car to have or get.

The Optima has been an excellent purchase for me. I like the size, the color, the extra features, and the great gas mileage! The USB Ports, the extra cup holders, the Blue tooth, and the large trunk space with fold down seats when needed make this an excellent choice for me. Most importantly, the safety features and ease of driving add to my reasons for purchasing the Optima. My 2016 was mistaken for a 2020 model .
