LOVE my new car!

I just recently got my Kia Optima and I love it! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I have gotten so many different compliments on my new car already.

Love the luxury you get without the high price tag

This car was not on my list when I went looking but I sure am glad my dealer brought it to my attention! You get the luxury feel without the super crazy price tag!

Happy owner

The Kia Optima is a great car for the value. This style, color, and the interior design is very pleasing to the eye. I am happy with it overall performance and efficiency of the engine andspace that is available for passengers in the car.

Most comfortable car I've ever owned

If this review needed to be less than a sentence, I'd say this car is "well-rounded". Great value for the price, decent amount of power, and refined look. Very comfortable interior on the EX model. Fully powered leather seats, heated seats and steering wheel which is a dream! The technology in the car is ideal and intuitive. Extremely clear Bluetooth for my music and hands free phone calls. In addition, there are three USB ports and three 120V connectors (one of each in the backseat for passengers). It has a massive trunk.

My 3rd Kia!

I've owned a Kia Sedona, Sorento and now an Optima, and I will be buying another. I love the "luxury car" features you can get on Kia's without the luxury car price. The Optima handles exceptionally well and looks very sporty for a 4-door. All my Kia's have been very reliable. Would highly recommend!

Couldn't be happier

I bought a used 2016 Kia Optima LX Turbo with less than 5000 miles on it. The ride is smooth, has great pick up when you put your foot down and the gas mileage is crazy good. There is a slight shake in the car while you are idling but it's so small you wouldn't notice it. Other than that this car is great!
