2003 Kia Optima LX review
Bought it used for my daughter. Now its mine.
comfortable small car. rides great and gets great gas mileage. fairly nice interior, and lots of chrome trim on mine. I like the classic car look to it, and the way it handles. Nice older car for around town.
There are 5 matching cars close to your year range.
