One of the best cars I’ve driven

This car is the perfect car to start a lease with, and I hope to own it by the end of my lease. It is a great ride and the stereo is impressive, along with the interior features.

Best car for the money

This is my 3rd Optima. My 2014 died in an accident (held up very well), traded my 2015 in for my 2020. Wife has a Sportage. First off, the Optima is pure sexy styling. Everything is laid out flawlessly and easy to use. No other automaker can match what Kia provides as standard equipment across all trims, I bought me the 2020 Optima Special Edition, a mix match of the S, EX and SX. Beautiful car. Everything this trim offers would cost an extra 15 grand in an Accord or Camry as you'd have to buy the top of the line model...good Job KIA!! The lines, style, everything, it's sleek. While not a sports car, it handles well, a nice responsive engine. Sport mode gives more oomph & pick-me-up. The leather is soft, luxurious and supple. Heated steering wheel is awesome. Love the panoramic sunroof. A great, well built and safe car. Only down fall, fog lights aren't standard across all models.

Great car with great bang for your buck

Test drive Passat & accord before I got to Kia.decided on the Optima because of how much you get for the dollar. I’m 6 feet tall and space is something I feel I really need for comfort in a car. Plenty and I mean plenty of space in the driver seat. Very comfortable to drive . Plenty of space in front and back . The car does sit a little low in my opinion but it’s still a great buy.looks great and smooth drive.

Best Car I have ever owned.

This car has so much to it for the price. It’s very spacious and allows my sons bulky car seat to sit level and the passenger to still have room to scoot their seat back. The features are amazing and the speakers are loud! I love everything about this car.

Love the car.

The car met my family’s need. It’s cheap on gas for the milage I have to drive daily. It is not to small. Just right.

Morgan

This is my second Kia, I previously owned a 2016 Forte. Originally wanted the Optima, had to work up to it though. I love it !!
