Kia is underestimated

My car's design, performance, gas mileage, and amneties are outstanding. Not to mention the free oilchanged you receive when buying a Kia from Sterling for the life of your car that's awesome.

I love my Kia

My Kia is very comfortable and roomy. I drive a lot for work so this car is perfect. The ride is very smooth and stress free. The trunk has a lot of space so I have room for all my medical boxes and supplies. I also have teenage kids and they also love this car. They are NOT all bunched up together and touching each other. They have room to stretch out. Which makes for a more peaceful ride. The Kia Optima is just all around perfect for me.

The S model is worth it in my book

I was looking for an "adult" car and the optima exceeded my expectations. My last car I spent 12k on and I was unsure if I wanted to spend more than before however after comparing what was out there ( Ford, mitubushi, hyandi and Volkswagen) I found Kia had the best value. The finishes in the optima S model was just what I wanted and I felt good with increasing my budget because I found value.
