Best Car I Have EverOwned

Great gas mileage & very roomy. Classy & sporty vehicle. I can't wait for my next one. I wouldn't trade it for any other car. I just love my Kia Optima.

Love the car

We leased a leftover 2016 Kia Optima with a lot of bells and whistles that we probably wouldn't have found at other dealerships. Some concessions were made on our part like we had desired all wheel drive but settled for front wheel drive, but overall very impressed with the vehicle.

Excellent Ride, comfortable interior!

Love the car! Only have it for a week so far but I love the way it drives, interior very comfortable! Heated leather seats and steering wheel a bonus for the wintertime!

Excellent vehicle

This is the first car that was able to move me away from a Honda. This vehicle has it all. Great exterior styling. The leather interior is beautiful and comfortable and quite large. It has all the toys and even some HonDa never has. It rides a little sportier since I have th SX version and the Turbo provides the Honda v6 power but still provides 4 cylinder gas mileage. I can not speak to long term reliability but for loop is, luxury, ride and comfort this is a fabulous vehicle. Unfortunately HonDa Accord you have a challenger. All this and you can get it for less than the Accord. This is a no brained.

2016 Kia Optima

This car is very tight, with an excellent interior and exterior fit and finish. I would buy another when this wears out, which by what I see will be in a very long time!
