The first time owner of a brand-new car.

Plenty of leg room in the back and front and it truly meet all of my need. Learning all the new options that comes with the car is a good learning experience. Truly enjoying my 2017 Kia optima ex.

Super Happy overall

Not only was the price really great but all the standard features and the fact this is an IIHS Top Saftey Pick+ nearly made this a no-brainer as a purchase seeing as I have 2 kids. Both kids and their car seats fit perfectly and leave plenty of room for me and my wife. The ride is smooth and fairly quiet. It drives heavy, which isn't a bad thank just feels more solid.

Great car and at an unbeliveable low price.

The Kia Optima impressed me with its many fine features, interior quality, quiet smooth ride, and outstanding safety features.

Mistaken for a BMW

I have never really fallen in love with a car before, but when the air-conditioning came up through the seat, the headlights self adjusted, the turbo kicked in when I depressed the accelerator, and I began reading the voluminous owners manual, It was love at the first mile. Napa leather seats, multi adjustable with lumbar support....And not having to worry about a repair for five years....!!! I am in love with this car. I want to sleep in it at night and look up through the full roof moon roof and listen to my Harmon-Karden stereo.

I love everything about this car!

This car is the best car, I have owned. I've owned several cars. I love the design and handling. Most of all, I love the gas mileage.

Great Value for the $

For the amount of money I was willing to spend, the new Optima was a great choice. The warranty is awesome and will give me plenty of worry free miles. The exterior is stylish and sleek looking and the interior has just the right amount of bells and whistles for being the base model. The seats could be a little more comfortable, but I do like the way the driver's seat adjusts in different directions. For a 4 cyclinder vehicle, there is plenty of get up and go.
