Best car for the money.

Although in first 1000 miles, couldn't be happier. Also Kia dealership couldn't be more service oriented. First time leasing and plan to get another Kia in three years.

Bobbie & Aly

We are only giving this 4 Stars due to the length of time we had to wait. From start to finish it was 7 hours. Our experience is not like others where the sales rep and manager haggle back and forth for us to have a higher down payment, or haggling over how much monthly payment will be. Our wait time was due to how many different people process the sales transaction. You have you sales rep, the sales manager, then the financier, then then one who handles the tax, tag, and title, and then the one who prints the paperwork for signing and then the one who finally sits with you to sign all of the paperwork. With that said.... Jay Brady, our sales rep was fantastic. He understood my needs of the lengthy drive there. He handled many of my questions by phone. He called when he said he would. And when I did not return his calls right away, he did not hassle me every hour of every day (like other dealers do), but instead, waited for my call. When we finally drove to Fuccillo Kia of Cape Coral, he made sure we were taken care of. He truly worked for us and on our behalf to make the deal happen. THANK YOU JAY!!!!!

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!

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!
