Optima

We fell in love this car the moment we sat down in it. The tide is great, the features are just what we needed, and it looks great!

Happy Optima driver

This is a great car. I leased the sxl trim and I really am happy. The 360 camera is awesome and you don't get these type of features on most other higher priced cars.

Love my Optima

Great car, great safety features, I have the turbo and it is fun to drive. I test drove a number of cars before I settled on this one.

GREAT FUEL ECONOMY

Really impressed by the 1.6 liter turbo engine. Getting a firm 38 mpg overall. Very comfortable car, responsive and quiet.

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.
