Love the look and the smooth ride

This car has everything I need. It is very slick looking, very efficient, and totally reliable. This is the second Kia Optima I have owned and I most likely will want another one the next time I buy a car!

Love my Kia

What the Kia Optima has in bells & whistles surpasses my Mazda6 hands down and at a lower price! When I bought my Mazda 3 yrs ago I thought it was the top of the line. Not so. With my Kia I have heated seats, memory seating with lumbar support, an extra large media display, lane detection, retracting side mirrors, and on & on & on! The ride in my Kia is very smooth with little outside noise to detract from the awesome stereo system it has. The Kia staff is also top notch! Everyone greets you with a smile and welcome, and you do not have to wait for any kind of help. They are there to serve your needs. Very nice! My daughter and son-in-law each drive a Kia and now I am part of the Kia family and will highly recommend it to everyone i know. It has all the luxury features of a high-end car at a very affordable price!

Enjoying my 2018 Optima!

I've never own a KIA until now. I am impress with the body style of my new Optima. The gas miles are great for short and long commutes. This car is very roomy and comfortable! Rides nicely on the interstate!

Love this car!!!

My 2018 Kia Optima is simply outstanding! Smooth, Powerful, Techie, Comfortable. These words touch the surface of what I'm experiencing as I go about my daily commute. The styling is on point so I know I look sharp when I'm behind the wheel. If I were to use one word to describe ownership - satisfying!

Don't Regret Buying My First Kia!

I was looking for a vehicle to replace my 2006 Chevy Cobalt, which I loved. I needed a car that had more room and would be comfortable with long-distance travel. My Optima EX met my needs and also included lots of extras like a panoramic sunroof and heated seats. After researching competitors, this car offered so much for the price. I was resistant to getting a new car because I love my Cobalt but I don't regret buying my Kia. I love it more each time I drive it! Highly recommend this car to everyone!
