A luxury car that gets great gas mileage, 34 MPG!

This is a true luxury. All the bells and whistles you need. My first Kia was a Forte. Great sporty car. The Optima is smooth luxury.

LOVE MY OPTIMA

I love my 2018 KIA Optima! classy, reliable, technology, and performance at a reasonable rate! what I love most is the gas mileage, I fill up every other week and I am good to go. I choose KIA not only because the optima's are sexy, but i love knowing my 10 yr or 10000 mile warranty has my back! Being a single woman with no mechanic skills, this is very reassuring.

First Kia I've ever owned

The luxury of a high end car in a affordable vehicle that feels great, has an enormous amount of room, and performance to match.

Great looking car.

This car is great. I love all the features that are available especially the safety features. There is plenty of leg room for all passengers and the seats are super comfortable so long trips I know we will enjoy with this car. I like the fact that the car looks very classy and expensive but in reality it is well priced for all that it offers.

One of the best values for the money on the market

Tons of tech and safety, high end features and pretty peppy for a 4 cyl. Easily as good or better than sonoetitira that cost 10k more.
