Best purchase I ever made.

My Kia Optima is roomy inside, stylish, and a beautiful color of my choice. Lots of leg room. Plenty of truck space. Lots of features like bluetooth, back up camera, etc. I love it!

Bang for your buck!

I was in a month long rental of a Camry when I test drove the Optima, so I was in a great position to compare them. The Kia feels smoother and quieter, and is equally comfortable, for less money. I am very satisfied with my decision.

Sexiest car I've ever had that's super reliable

This car provides everything on my checklist: comfort, class, luxury, sporty, roomy but not too big, so pretty, drives like a dream, easy to use, lots of safety features. I love everything about this car from it's features to its looks to the way it feels when I'm driving it.

Outstanding KIA Optima!

The KIA Optima at first glance is such a beauty. I personally, own a platinum silver Optima... it has such a luxurious look to it. I get compliments all the time! It is extremely spacious inside, rides smoothly and sits comfortably. I love the safety features (air bags, vehicle sensors on the side mirrors and camera) make driving more safer for me! Because of the location of my job from my house and my active involvement with family events and gatherings, the fuel economy is amazing! KIA Optima is an outstanding vehicle! I couldn't have picked a better (1st) car!

Love all the features!

We are senior citizens and we were blown away by the Kia's safety rating and features. It is also a very nice looking car. The rear seat is very roomy. In general, the car was very well conceived and seems a good choice for us.
