Surprising power for a mid-size car

Going from an Suv to this mid-size vehicle was an adjustment however the pick-up and gas mileage really make up for the loss of extra space in the vehicle. The Kia Optima is still roomy enough for most everything - has 60/40 rear seats so that helps.

2nd time around!

I loved my first Optima and this 2017 is even better. If you blocked out the name, you'd think you were in an Audi or a BMW. Great quality, over-the-top features and great value for the money. Could have a little more HP, but really, where am I going?

Nice car

This is the most bang for the buck car I found that met my wants. I looked at several other cars and they all had essentially the same features and safety ratings but we a lot more expensive.
