2017 Kia Optima consumer reviews

Car eats oil like it was gasoline. Changed the oil at the regular interval, 2 weeks later it was a quart low. A week after that it was a quart low. It doesn't leak oil... there's so much blow by that it's had a code for the catalytic converter not running at efficiency since 75k miles. Problem is, my wife bought it used so... manufacturer warranty doesn't apply to us. Which makes 0 sense. Either you warranty your craftsmanship or you don't. Shouldn't matter if the car changed hands.

It's a nice car but he's not worth what I'm paying for they can do better my kia not quite at all I didn't have my car along that long.

This car fits perfect for me and my little family I love it so much Brittany helped me find exactly what I need and I got the price range too

I originally bought my Optima for Ubering. It did it's job well and has great MPG. For being a base model, it's fairly equipped with a touch screen and bluetooth connection. The engine was reliable and and well-equipped for what I needed it for. Nothing besides regular maintenance was ever required.

This document has been formatted to fit your brain’s thinking capacity: It has been shrunk! How’s that for a catchy opening to my 2016 Kia Optima LX review at Edmunds? OK, for starters this has to be world’s most misleading and diminutive review ever printed because it is simply about test driving the specified car right out of and back to the selling dealership in Rochester, Minnesota, USA. Yeah, that’s right my friends and foes, I test drove this car a few hours ago with my wife on the passenger seat up and down US Highway 52 North, inner-city driving, and all the while fooling around with buttons and controls I practically knew nothing about. That was a rush, especially when several State Patrol officers were carefully watching my somewhat erratic “maneuvers” but thankfully they let us go unimpeded. So, what about this car’s appearance, performance, comfort, price / quality ratio and the like? Who cares, right! Let me simply state that during both occasions (interspersed an hour while testing a second and a third vehicle (02 Forte FE / LX models) everything was nearly perfect except when I was fast reducing speed to exit the road but suddenly accelerated to match traffic and I felt a bump from the engine as if it did not know exactly what to do, either coast some more or speed up. This happened very fast; I then tried to replicate the same conditions somewhat to maybe better diagnose the problem but it never reoccurred. Simply put the car’s overall feel is outstanding, with abundant and notable (i.e. very useful) equipment and features galore. I am the world’s greatest copycat artist, designer, and undeclared-non-long-bearded-revolutionary-of-sorts so this particular car fits my wits beyond perfect and with unreal finesse. You want to know what else could be considered a quirk, a nuisance, and / or an undesirable trait within this ride? Well, keep asking, see if that brain finally stretches somewhat; but truthfully I have no answers for any of you. I believe there aren’t any to that idyllic question. Getting the car on the real road world in a couple days after arranging finance; my wife (who inspiringly made the decision to buy it) is also going to enjoy this little, friendly beast. They routinely say the world is filling with idiots fast; luckily, my pitiful understanding of society’s moronic situation and perceived woes should also help in this murky area: And why not, the more idiots out there, the greater chances to step up in this barren world of ours and beyond… It’s a dichotomy worth living ad infinitum, if we may.

We have owned the car for 3 years and enjoyed saving money in gas. It has been reliable and met our families needs. We would recommend this vehicle to friends and family.

Comfortable, great styling, reliable, fantastic gas mileage, has plenty of trunk room. I have taken this car on long trips and a lot of daily short hauls and it fits my needs perfectly.

Great car and she is very happy with the car loaded with everything,fun to drive . This is her second Kia and the first was a Niro .really can't compare the two cars Day and Night Difference

The first car I test drove was a used 2017 optima extremely low mileage. And I absolutely fell in love! Ever roomy, smooth and quiet, and a classy sporty style. Since purchasing in July ‘19 I have test drove a couple of ‘20 and I was so disappointed I didn’t even leave the lot. They just didn’t compare. Needles to say this is hands down my new favorite car!

I love my Kia Opitma very much bought it brand new and very happy with my choice and the value of the car I cant wait to get the newer model
