Great Car - New Owner

So far I am impressed with the KIA Optima EX and have had many compliments about its look. I especially like the warranty, backup and rear crossing system, blind spot for changing lanes, fold-down side mirror, and many other safety features.

I didn't think it could be better than the 2012

Was happy with my 2012 Optima EX and didn't think I would ever change. I was impressed with the updates to this vehicle. Outside appearance sleek and clean lines. New 2018 interior and controls better once I got accustomed to them.

I love KIAs

Better than the Cadillac I traded in. It has all the current safety features and spacious cabin for easy entry and exit. The trunk space is amazing.

Great car for the money.

The Optima is a nice looking car with a comfortable ride. It comes with standard safety systems such as blind spot warning. I love this car.
