Kia Optima!

I am really happy with this car. DId a lot of research, especially through Consumer Reports subscription (VERY well-spent $10.00) to find the one I wanted, and couldn't be happier. The options on just the base model, which was what was within my price range is incredible- most base models don't come with as much. Runs really well, and I love the automated manual option - looked for a manual transmission, and most models don't have it availalble- it's a great and adaptable facsimile of a manual - I highly recommend it if you like to drive manual.Seat comfort is fantastic, back seat room and trunk space are hugely spacious without being a giant car. High tech safety features great, and standard in the base model. Overall, I think I will be well satisfied with this car for years to come.

The optima drives amazing

The car meets all of my needs. It’s spacious, great on fuel, and I love the color. The car has a lot of features that my old vehicle didn’t have.

This is the best

I love this car to the fullest, I love All the features this car has, but the main this is the car play, the reverse camera, the indication on the side mirror, Bluetooth and how I can tell the car what to say in a message

Best Car I've Ever Owned

I just bought the 2020 Kia Optima EX Premium last week and I love it. This car rides great, is comfortable and the amount of tech features is incredible. I had a 2014 Toyota Camry and the difference is mind blowing, the Kia practically drives itself.

2020 Kia Optima SE

Absolutely love it! All the bells and whistles of a high end European car at a fraction of the price with a very responsive and economic 4 cylinder engine. Infotainment system is very simple to use not to mention the countless safety features. The sound system is loud and crystal clear. Plenty of space for my wife and our little ones who are still in car seats. I love the panoramic moon roof especially being downtown. The blind spot monitor and lane assist come standard with Kia which is a huge plus for me. The AC cools down the interiors very quickly despite these muggy Chicago summers so I’m expecting the heater to warm up fast in the winter. Very happy with this purchase!
