Used 2001 Kia Optima Consumer Reviews
Will Never own another!!
I have had my car for going on two years. This car has been a disaster since day one! I have had it in the shop 8 times for 13 different problems not counting an accident which was caused by the cruise control not turning off when I hit the brakes which resulted in the entire front end being replaced. I am scared to drive this vehicle on a daily basis!
My 2nd Kia
Much better than my Sephia that I was happy with.
Over 2 years and still going strong
Besides the horrible re-sale and trade- in value, this has been a great car. We have yet to have any real problems out of this car.
Great car - no resale value!
We have had our Optima for nearly a year now and still really like this car.A couple of minor things have been corrected - front headlight bulb, fuel gauge, and fuel door opening mechanism. My wife really likes driving this car and I also like the sportmatic transmission. The car is roomy and gets decent gas mileage. However, the re-sale value sucks!! That is probably why I will not by another Kia.
This is a Kia?
other than the usual Kia fuel guage failure several times, this is a great car
