Best car I’ve ever owned!!

This car gets great gas mileage, amazing get up and go. The blind spot indicators will beep when your blinker is on and has amazing 360 camera view. More bells and whistles than a Lincoln without the high price. Great car for road trips

Nicest car I've owned

This car had all the bells and whistles I was looking for and it looked nice. Everyone is always complementing the new car. The dark blue stands out.

Absolutely love it

Bought the LX turbo new in March 2016, had custom leather seats done at the dealer and still came in under $25k car has been fun to drive has needed no repairs and had only one recall for a radio antenna. Been a great experience! I did learn she does run best on premium even though the dealer recommended regular there’s a noticeable difference in performance and even the sound of the engine.

Love My Kia Optima Turbo

Great, except the automatic dual clutch system. It bogs when you take off from a complete stop, like a stick shift car. I love my car, love the interior seats because they are the stain resistant .
