Love my KIA

Haven't had my 2017 KIA Optima long but I love it so far! Very sporty and sleek. Love the safety options, especially the blind spot detection, backup camera, all the airbags, and the lighting of the door handles when approaching the car at night.

Better than Accord

I love my new Optima! Beats the current Accord: Sportier, tighter steering/handling, more leg room, better spot for phone/connections and ... less expensive!

Quiet car to drive!

The Optima feels like a high-end car. It is solid and handles very well on curves. Very quiet on the highway. Great design style.

Only Owned This Car for a Short Time

So far I am pleased with this car. I, however, have yet to master all the electronic features. A few things bother me about the car. (1) things easily slide around in the trunk. Restraint bars or band features in the trunk would be a great improvement as would better lighting in the trunk since the interior is all black. I find the over head lights position far back in the back seat area are is in-convenient. When driving the car I must stop, park the car and lean way over the middle arm rest to reach the on off button.
