Goodbye Camry and Accord, hello Optima!

I have purchased almost exclusively Toyotas and Hondas throughout my life but after researching my Kia Optima, I've made the switch. To me, the Optima exterior has a much nicer look and the fit and finish on the interior of my EX adds to the upsacale vibe. Add in Apple carplay and a fantastic panoramic sunroof and I look forward to driving every day! (Reliability too soon to tell but I was forced to leave an answer)

Very reliable family car

Love this vehicle! Exactly what we needed when we were looking for a new more reliable car. We loved the feeling we received from everyone involved in the buying process.

Love my Kia

This is the 2nd Kia Optima I have leased and I will be a Kia buyer for life. The Optima is well built and styled. I am not an attractive man and I get checked out when driving this car.

Optima a car of leisure and comfort

I have always wanted an optima due to the experience I have had riding as a passenger in my aunts car. It is comfortable, gives plenty of leg room, and the road noise is cut down considerably. It handles the curves well and glides smoothly. The impact of bumps is minimal. Over all I give this car a 5+ star rating.

Took a chance on an import

This car is amazing. Exterior looks fine. Interior is amazing with the electronics for a mid range model. Is very comparable to American models like the Ford fusion.

My new Ebony Black Optima looks sharp

Very roomy, I'm 6'1. Room all around for the in laws too. Back seats are great. I should have bought it fully loaded. Just watch out for the dealers and their pricing.
