The back seats are so laid back you cannot straighten yourself up. The passenger front seat is so low that you feel like you are sitting in a pod. If someone is seated behind this seat you cannot move it back either. So most time your knees are touching the glove compartment. It is exceptionally good with gas. All other things are ok in this car.

25mpg in the city 33 hwy on the 2016 ex hybrid. Taken it in twice stating poor mpg and was told it's just not broken in yet. I have 10k on it when is it going to break in? Liars!! Update 23k it still don’t get the mileage average around 31 mpg. Battery died and it was a $500 trip at the dealership for the repayment service and they didn’t even reinstall the cover. The batter sits in a camparment in the trunk.

Having lived with this KIA Optima EX for over 3 years I can say "super value for money". Initially I had one very small complaint on the highway where I had to continually correct the steering direction especially noticeable on heavily cambered roads. I had the wheels checked for alignment and discovered (what I thought) was that the front wheels were set with far too much "Toe In". I had our local company subsequently set the Toe In to 0 degrees which completely cured the problem. In approximately 25,000 Km I have detected no abnormal wear on either the front or rear tires and the vehicles drives as if it on rails and goes exactly where directed. The cabin is noticeably quieter than my friends Toyota Camry but that could be due to the tires he is using.

Bought a 2015 hybrid Kia Optima used. Mpg is bad for a hybrid but good for a regular car. Comfortable both in front and back. I’ve put almost 100000 miles on it and it’s still going strong.

3 times to the dealership with documented mileage. No support or fix. I get 25mpg in city and about 33 on the hwy. the hybrid doesn't work. It's running mostly off the engine. Dealerships excuses... it's just not broken in yet. I now have 11k miles. FAIL!!! Do not by the hybrid. My sisters non hybrid does just fine at 36/40 mpg
