Used Kia Optima for Sale in Saint James, NY

Well let me start with the reason for us to going to Smithtown Kia. We originally went to Eagle Kia in Riverhead NY because they were a Costco participating dealer. If you are considering shopping at Eagle Kia, run don't walk away! We were lied to by the manager Tom saying if we did not finance through the dealer we would lose the $3,500 Kia rebate. That is not true I checked with Kia. The Saleswoman at Eagle Kia Amanda was no better and would not return my calls because they could not find the color Optima we wanted. That is all I will say about Eagle Kia for now because that will be all be in another review. I called Smithtown Kia to inquire about a 2018 Horizon blue Optima I saw in their online inventory. I was told a salesman would return my call shortly. Within 5 minutes Gerard returned my call, he was professional and friendly. I told him about the Costco price I had agreed on with Eagle Kia and he said he would get back to me in a few minutes. 10 minutes later he called back with a price that was very close to the Special Costco price and Gerard informed me we could get our own financing with no penalty. I gave him a deposit to hold the car until I could get there after work. When I arrived that night the car was out front just like he said for me to inspect. We loved the car and filled out all the necessary paper work and were told we could pick up the car the next day. The next day the car was meticulously detailed just as promised. Gerard had us sit in the car as he proceeded to explain everything about the car, from the emergency brake to the stereo with apple play.( That was a first for us, in the past the sales people would throw us the keys and say goodbye). We spent more time with Gerard showing us how everything in the car worked then we did finishing up the paperwork. Everyone was nice at the dealer from the receptionist to the finance manager Gerard Ragan and the sales manager Greg Carrion. I told Gerard Rennie we expected a painless experience and that is exactly what we got. I am very happy and thankful to Gerard and the rest of the staff at Smithtown Kia. I will recommend them to anyone in the market for a new car. Gerard Rennie is the best!!

I was really happy with the car when I first purchased it 2 years ago and it continues to please. I like the roomy interior, the impressive power it provides from a 4-cylinder engine, its gas economy, and its attractive appearance. The interior's 360 degree visibility is bad, and the electronic motion/object detectors have prevented problems on numerous occasions. The occasional availability of the rear camera has yet to be of any significant assistance. Better visibility of those remote areas around the car would have minimized the need for electronic assistance. Some day I'll figure out how to use all the electronic controls. Or maybe not.

When my husband first went into Generation Kia, it was only because the dealership was so close to his job. We had a worn out Oldsmobile Delta 88 and we desperately needed a new car, but we had never bought a new vehicle before, ever. My husband met David Pigate first, and when he called me and told me he was looking at cars, I didn't expect us to get approved. We didn't have the greatest credit and we had only been in NY for a year. David was very optimistic though. When I got to the dealership and met David I was first struck by how genuinely nice he was. He didn't give off that sleazy used car dealer vibe that we all think of when we think of car dealerships. He was outgoing, sweet, and took a genuine interest in us. He even got our daughter a couple snacks while we were waiting. That was the only thing that sucks about car buying is the waiting, and the waiting, and the hours you spend there. But, we didn't have great credit AND we couldn't do a huge downpayment, so we knew they were working hard to figure things out for us. We ended up with a really nice 2014 Jeep Patriot with payments that we could afford and even afterwards when we were having issues with all of the points we needed to finish registering the car, they let us take the Jeep home on dealer tags so I wouldn't be left without a car. Fast forward a year later to now, and my husband needed to get a second vehicle for work. He wanted a Dodge Ram 1500. At first, he looked at actual Dodge/Chrysler dealerships. He got "pre-approved" with "no money down" by Chrysler Capital and we thought that was pretty great. After talking to one dealership though, he felt pretty good about a truck, but the next day (after they had run inquiries on his credit like TEN times) they never called him back. He was livid. We talked to another Dodge/Chrysler dealership and kind of had the same thing. They didn't have a huge selection of older used Rams (like 2010-2013) and the only one that they did have that we could really afford we couldn't get financed for. Frustrated with everything, my husband was about to give up. I told him (even before we went to the second dealership) that we should call David again. He didn't think they'd have anything for us, but lo and behold they had a couple Rams that were just what my husband was looking for. My husband went and looked at a couple and we really liked one. Talking to David and Ron, we realized that my husband's credit and mine as well had taken a hard hit from the other dealerships who had flooded our credit with over 20 inquiries in less than two days! David and Ron explained how this would look to the banks in trying to get a loan, but they said they would try anyways for us. Again, David worked tirelessly for us. He even came in on his day off to help finalize the paperwork and we were able to get our second vehicle! This dealership is the best. They really do treat you like family. I could go on and on. Honestly, David was and is the best car salesman ever and he ruined it for every other car salesman out there :-D.

My car fits my personality and my salesman quickly identified the perfect vegicle for me. Than you Calvin Worthy. I will shop with you again.

First I will say I am a pain in the add when it comes to purchasing things especially cars. I Nit pick and change my mind. Now about the dealership I give it 5 stars first off its crazy clean in the used car and new car showroom and their lounge area is open and nice. I dealt with a woman named McKenzie who sits up front for my actual purchase. She was very good non hassling laid back and showed me multiple cars again because I hate spending money. The car I wanted was a 2014 is350 which was almost sold but she let me know she would keep me posted. The person flaked and she pit me in it with the finance woman. I don't remember her name but she sits in the glass office and she gets 5 stars. She doesn't hasslee at all and she kept helping me work down my rate to get where I was comfortable. They also beat out the warranty company I lined up by $1850 so ingot 5 years bumper to bumper 125k for $1850 less than I almost opted for. The last thing is on the new car side the first day I went in I dealt with a big dude ex military but nice guy he was helping out on used cars. He got me to come back and stick with Generation Kia. The dude was down to earth again no hassle and he had me sold on a rare 2012 buick gs turbo 6 speed. That was until the IS350. If I had to go new he would get my cobtract. So I recommend the spot Generation Kia in Bohemia and honestly I don't usually like big dealerships

The Kia Optima is hands-down the best car I have ever owned very comfortable stylish classy it’s always been my dream car now I drive one! Lucky Me my next car will be a Kia optima!

I purchased a 2016 Kia Forte 5 from Eddie Quinones. Eddie did not pressure me. Not even once. He answered a pile of questions. I know I took about 2 hours of his time. Not once did I get the impression he was in a hurry to get things moving. He was pleasant, respectful, helpful, knowledgeable and understanding. Everyone has their own reasons for buying a car. He understood my reasons and helped me get into a car I really like. I really can't say anything bad, it was all good.

Car haves a lot of issues. I loved everything about this car kept it maintained on the regular. PLS READ YOUR RECALLS July 1,2018 the Kia Optima I own caused me to reveen into traffic hitting 2 cars. Kia will not fix or replace my car

I went to this dealership on May 19 to purchase my son's first car. I walked in with a tremendous amount of skepticism based on previous experiences at other dealerships. It took only a ten minute conversation with JC to be won over. he was a fantastic, personable salesman who did not come off as pushy or disingenuous. He was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely courteous. We walked in at 9:30 in the morning and by 1:30 in the afternoon, my son drove off in his car. Great experience.

The OPTIMA 2015 was a good car to own for me. The look and color was right, driving the car felt sexy with speed, I saved a lot of money on gas. BUT, the passenger seat was too low. NEEDED the SEAT Lumbar support and Seat Cushion Height. OVERALL NICE CAR TO HAVE. PS The maintenance plan was Affordable

After going to other local dealers, I tried Generation Kia, wow did I get lucky! I received professional, courteous service by Justin Rodriguez and the entire dept. They kept me informed of their progress, made suggestions, did my repairs in a timely manner and even took the time to review and discuss my warranty. Unlike ANY dealership I have ever been too! HIGHLY recommend Generation Kia for parts and service. They run maintenance specials too. Thank you Generation Kia, it's refreshing to find true professionalism in the auto industry, keep up the good work!

Great car to drive, super smooth and looks great. Met all my needs (lot of room and comfortable) had a couple of recalls but nothing that cannot be fixed, this car turned out to be an excelent choice and a GREAT BUY!

This car has EVERYTHING! I purchased the EX with the Premium package and there's not really much more I could even think of putting into a car... maybe massaging front seats? That's really it. I bought this car primarily for commuting in and out of the city and I don't even mind sitting in traffic anymore. I just slide open the sunroof, turn up the music, pop on the ventilated front seats, and take my foot off the gas while the stop and go cruise control deals with the congestion. The only gripe I really have with the car is that it's slow to accelerate from a stop. The engine doesn't lack for power, but when you really need to make that turn before the next wave of vehicles blocks your path, there is about a 1 second delay after you slam on the gas before the vehicle will launch. Could definitely lead to an accident if you're not expecting that delay. Otherwise the drive is smooth and it accelerates quickly afterwards. 100% recommend this car to any budget conscious techy.

I love everything about this car it's great on gas not to mention one of the safest cars very spacious alot of trunk room i love my KIA

A third child changes everything. Especially the way you have to travel. Sedans, and small suvs just won???t work. So I set off to find a truck . Big enough to fit my new family. I changed my mind at least 10 times! Could a Silverado crew cab really work? Or do I just pony up for a suburban? Or maybe a Tahoe would work. And what about the new traverse?! Back and forth I went with my salesman . Exploring all options . Car seats and snowboards brought up to the dealership to see how everything fit. The patience my salesman and really the whole dealership displayed was great! My salesman Michael Sandoval worked tirelessly sending me information on any and everything he thought might work for me and my family. It was almost like he took over the car shopping for me . In the end there was a Silverado on the lot that I just kept looking at and thinking about . That was the truck that sits in my driveway. Now it???s time to work on upgrading my wife???s vehicle. Hope your ready for round 2 Michael! 😂

This car is great. It does so much ,and it does so much more than you expect a 2013 car to do. Also, it was already used and works as if it were brand new.

I bought a 2008 Jetta 2.5 and i love it!!! But the only problem I had it's to small for me try to get something bigger, From start to finish from the minute i walked in the door everyone was pleasant and helpful. i sat with the salesman and he walked me throught the process with ease. they got back to me the sameday with the bank approvals with an awesome interes rate and i picked it up the next day!!! Thanks for a great experience and i look forward to the next one!!! Jean Noel

This is the best car I have ever owned I love it the ride is so smooth and it's amazing on gas can't wait to see how it is treating me in 5 years or more

My sales representative was Jeff he was courtesy and great to deal with the all around staff was very nice and helpful in my car buying process, I would recommend rite cars to any one interested in buying a great priced used car

Met my needs as anticipated at time of purchase , I wanted good gasoline mileage and a CPO warranty. The bickering I purchased met all of my requirements.

The dealer was very helpful and answered all my questions. I was able to test drive the car and I was very impressed. I didn’t purchase the vehicle because I received a better offer. It was definitely my second choice. :)

Great car and great stereo system, one of the best good on gas as well. The car is also fast believe it or not, I was surprised.

Excellent experience bringing my car in for service! Pete was so pleasant to deal with, and they were so quick & efficient with the service. They make the process so nice and easy!

Very clean and fast, I can’t wait to do a long family trip in it. My oldest fell asleep after school after about 5 minutes

Jeff in service was absolutely amazing. He answered all my questions n concerns! I wouldn’t wanna deal w/ anyone but him. Great guy

Car met everything I was looking for, great price, very solid feel to vehicle, very sporty looking . Interior is very nice combination of new style and basic functionality.

Please note the 2018 Explorer Sport I recently leased through Hassett is the 4th vehicle I've obtained through your dealership within the past decade. The first vehicle I purchased outright and the last three vehicles were leased. The sales rep for the past two vehicles I've leased has been Mike Scannello. With the past two transactions Mike was extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly which made each transaction go extremely well and very smoothly. I originally stopped in to speak with Mike in regards to leasing a new vehicle earlier in October. When I returned on October 28th Mike knew exactly which vehicle and options I was interested in and he offered me several vehicles with different color combinations to choose from. I decided to go with another Explorer Sport only this time in white with a black interior so I placed a deposit on the car the very same day. The following day I returned with a bank check and received delivery of the vehicle. Due to Mike's professionalism and knowledge doing business with Hassett is truly a pleasure. My latest transaction with Mike and Hassett was by far the quickest and smoothest I've ever experienced during my lifetime of purchasing or leasing new Ford or Mercury vehicles. I've also dealt with your finance manager Danny during the the past three vehicle transactions. Danny is also extremely professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly so you have an excellent team in place at your dealership. When ever it comes time for a new vehicle purchase or lease I'm assured I can always find what I'm looking for and do business with at Hassett due to the excellent team of professionals you have on staff at your dealership. Both my wife and myself love our new vehicle even more that we did our 2016 red Explorer Sport.

I enjoy the car very much thus far ...what concerns me though is the fact that the 2.5 litter that I have in my optima had a recall for lower end knocking .... which turned out to be a huge recall

I had an amazing experience. Matt helped me from beginning to end didn’t mind answering all my questions which I had a lot of. The team there were so polite and knowledgeable

Meets all expectations so far. Bought this vehicle for my daughter for her to get back and forth to college. Very impressive car, and very reliable!

Pete and Jeff are very personable and open to answering all questions without making me feel rushed. I am satisfied with the quick and thorough service.

This was a great car! Amazing gas mileage and very reliable. I highly recommend this car for anyone that's looking for a affordable car that has great gas mileage.

The Service Team; Service Manager Rich and advisers Bill and Jamie are terrific

Have had electrical problems fuel sending units,, multiple switch. Premature bulb wear, premature brake and rotor wear,, never gets fuel mileage listed. Could be better.

The customer service displayed by this dealer is other worldly and industry leading. None display this fact better than my salesperson Hersan! He took care of me EVERY step of the way. Never played games or tried to mislead me. The ENTIRE staff OOZES integrity. They will take care of u every step and make sure you get the most competitive affordable rate possible! 5 STARS ISNT ENOUGH!!!!! THANKS HERSAN!!!

I am a big and tall guy 6'5 and I had plenty of leg room in the 2019 Kia optima. I am a tech guy so I love all the tech features in the New kia optima and the panoramic roof is nice! The engine has get up and go and it's a 4 cylinder! Roomy trunk, just a great car

This was the simplest car buying experiences that I have ever had. Q

This car is awesome. It has pretty much everything I wanted. The only thing is there is not a charger port in the back seat of the vehicle.
