Amazing car

The car was an amazing purchase it drives super smooth amazing gas mileage I was between 40-50 mpg on the highway driving home . The seats are comfortable I love the technology to connect my phone to my center consol and use Apple maps and Spotify while I drive without picking up my phone I feel very safe in the vehicle.

Outstanding Value

I am pleasently suprised about my newly leased Kia Optima. I have had no previous experince with Kia, but based on Consumer Reports I have to concur with findings. I was given a good trade-in and net price by my dealer.

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN KIA OPTIMA FOR A GREAT VALUE

BEST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE DESIGN FEATURES ARE EYE-POPPING. THE TECHNICAL PACKAGE IS AWESOME. THE RIDE IS SMOOTH. THE WARRANTY IS THE BEST.

great value for the cost of ownership

i was skeptical about purchasing a mid-sized sedan. I visited with a few people that have purchased the Optima and they highly recommended this car over the Camry. My wife has driven Camry's for nearly twenty years and she now likes this Optima over her 2016 Camry. Our next purchase will be a 2019 Optima for her.

Excellent car so far.

Am enjoying driving car, very comfortable and easy to adjust. Has enough power to be able to accelerate when needed. It's a good looking car and affords passengers comfort when chauffeuring other people.

Loving my Kia!

So far I am enjoying my new vehicle. Its good on gas and a smooth ride. The only downside is that I didn't get a sunroof.

Great Car

This car is great! Love the comfort and all the stuff that came with it. Telling everyone that they need to think about getting a Kia the next time they shop and to go to the dealer that I went to. I love the Horizon Blue color
