2016 Kia Optima consumer reviews

Love this car. It's comfort and ease on the road is great. I would recommend this car to anyone that is looking for a reasonably priced car with a lot of bells and whistles

Very good leased car compared to others out there. Kia also makes a Candenza which should rank high. Many cars are offered in this price range but, I believe, you'll get the best for your money

Ride and seats are very comfortable, handling is positive , brakes really good. Replaced a ten year old Sonata that needed to go to the dealer ONCE in that time frame, if the Kia is that reliable , what a deal!!!

I had been intrigued with the Kia Optima for a while, and when I went to check it out, I was really pleased. I bought the EX model. Though I was moving from an 8-cylinder to a 4-cylinder, I found that it has all I need under the hood. If I really need to punch it, the shift mode lets me get whatever I need. The inside is finished as nicely as a much more expensive car, and there are all the bells and whistles that I could ever want. The white paint job is beautiful, and the Sirius radio & speakers give me plenty of entertainment. Heated seats & steering wheel, back-up camera....it was a home run at under $28k.

I went to chevy on the shelburne road. I had awful service there and will never return, went to Kia and was in and out with a new car and worked with answesoem sales man. Love the car and under 20k!!

Walked in Saturday afternoon just to take a look at the new Kia's and walked out a couple of hours later with a new car! Great service and Josh Haney, at Waikem Kia, was very helpful setting up my phone to the car and explaining how everything worked, very knowledgeable about all the models. Will be back for more great service!

After looking at used cars from Toyota and Honda for a week, the decision to buy an Optima was a no brainer. Granted, a buyer should understand this car doesn't offer the highest horsepower, the sleekest exterior, or the most advanced dashboard and infotainment system in its class; rather, this is a car that fares very well, but not best, in all categories. It was clear after much research into the foreign midsize sedans that this is the safest buy, noting that recent accords and camrys have significant reliability and safety issues (see arfc.org and compare). Here are some things I immediately loved when test driving (and still love after owning); 1. The infotainment system, at a glance, looks outdated. However, it is very easy to use while driving and the steering wheel controls rock. The smaller screen in the control panel is easy to toggle and very informative. 2. The handling is wonderful. Seamless shifting with automatic transmission, tight steering, and responsive breaking were immediately noticeable. The suspension is also great. 3. The speakers are much better than the 2016 Camry and 2016 accord. 4. The cabin is quiet. 75 mph sounds like 40. 5. The price - you can find these cheap if you do your research. Based on 2 weeks of ownership, I highly recommend checking out this car. DO NOT overlook Kia and Hyundai during your next car search if you like foreign cars, as I believe these will outcompete the reliability reputation of Toyota and Honda.

I am thrilled about my new Kia Optima. It exceeds my expectations over and over. My sales person A.J. was exceptional in his service and made my experience at Turnersville Kia second to none. Everyone knows how you see commercials and you get those mailers about car deals...well let me just say A.J. made it happen for me. Turnersville Kia delivered... so that I could drive off the lot with the car I wanted. No pressure. A.J. is very knowledgeable as a certified sales representative and he also has a pleasant personality that is authentic and genuine. Thanks A.J. for such positive experience. I highly recommend this dealership and A.J Went if you are looking for a exceptional service and professionalism.

If you live in the Northern Half of the US or have a garage, you are out of luck with a KIA Optima. I have a brand new 2016 Kia Optima with the top trim package but it does not have a Home Link for the garage door, it is a $500 add-on, I found out after the fact. I have a set of snow tires on wheels but the computer will only recognize one set of tire sensors. I therefore have to waste 30-60 minutes and $50 twice a year to have the computer reprogrammed to recognize the other sensors. Right now I am having serious problems with the system working at all. This would seem to be a simple software fix but Kia does not seem concerned with the American market.

Where do I start. I have had my Kia Optima SXL for over a month and I continue to he impressed by this car. It's white with beautiful tan nappa leather. It's a step above the Altima and Accord that I owned previously. I'm constantly stopped by people who are wowed by the factime that Kia has come such a long way. There are too many features to name, including: automatic high beams, through same version Harmon Kardon sound system that's in luxury cars, automatic seat for easy entrance/exit, automatic folding mirrors that open once the key is detected before you open the car, automatic trunk, and the list goes on.... The ride is extremely quiet and taut, and I average over 32 MPG on the highway. I love Android Auto and the car just feels all around expensive. If, like me, you are tired of car companies who don't feel the need to step up their game because people will buy them no matter what, take a look at Kia.
