2012 Kia Optima EX review
One fine company
This car now has almost 170k miles.other than normal wear and tear and some recalls the car has been excellent. The real subject here is KIA . They have been a real stand up company. In my opinion KIA has had my back. KIA will be my next purchase

2012 Kia Optima EX Turbo review
Even if it’s used, buy one!
I’ve owned a 2012 Kia Optima EX GDi 2.4L engine. Hands down, best car I have ever driven! After 8 years of daily driving and 135,000 miles later, she still handles like the day I drove her off the dealership lot. Very comfortable leather interior, that even though is years old, has not one crack or tear! Shifts smoothly, brakes smoothly and still has some get up and go when I put my foot down. Very safe car- Prior to this I owned an ‘11 Optima EX that I got into an accident in. The side and front airbags left me unscathed! All in all, I’m glad I went with Kia. You can never go wrong with that Kia reliability!

2012 Kia Optima LX review
Best Car I have ever owned
Drives great, lots of leg room in the back seat. The ECO option is nice for improved fuel economy. Reliable, never had any issues with the car except the plastic molding along rear window. That came out by a loose screw. That is the only change I would change is hope they improve those chrome strips and logos on cars to hold that chrome look better. My logo chipped and is almost al black now.

Shore Motor Group review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Car Buying Experience – Shore Motor Group!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Car Buying Experience – Shore Motor Group! Shore Motor Group made my dream come true! I am now the proud owner of a BMW 4 Series Grand Coupe, and I couldn’t be happier. Alan and Abe are absolutely first-class — they crushed the competition in the area and worked with me to get the fairest and best deal possible. From start to finish, I was treated with such respect and genuine care. The service I received went above and beyond anything I expected. Abe made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and exciting — if you go, ask for Abe! Not only do I love my car, but my commute has completely changed for the better and truly improved my quality of life. I will be referring everyone I know to Shore Motor Group. Strong recommendation — they are simply the BEST, beating any competition hands down!

Cars USA review
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Cars USA in Virginia Beach. I really appriciate all that Nick did in working with me. The other folks in the office were nice, real people, and the shop folks came through. I had a great experience considering such a large purchase, at least for me. The process was fast and smooth, just like my ride home. Oh, Nick actually went back to the airport with me to return my rental, brought me back to start my trip home. I love the 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 !
