Before buying the Kia we looked at numerous vehicles including the Honda Accord. After test driving the Kia, we were sold! It drives great and the standard features are excellent! Did I mention the 100,000 mile warranty!? We are very pleased with the whole package that Kia offered.
I Love my Kia Optima

My Kia meets and exceeds all my expectations. For the last 14 years I have been a Toyota Camry Customer and I didn't think I would EVER like anything else until I drove my Kia, this car has all the bells, whistles and performance I need at a great price.
What a car!!

I own a 97 Sephia and bought the Optima for the value you get in a Kia. I have been thoroughly pleased with the increase in styling and performance Kia has shown. The leather seats are very comfortable with both front seats powered. The engine is very adequate for a 4- cylinder. The overall sleek appearance, 15 inch wheels, and chrome accents have turned heads on the road. I would say the Optima is dollar for dollar the best you can buy.
IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY

this car is has been a major problem and a hassle with repairs. first the timing belt then the sensors within the car. when a car is mostly a computer and the sensors aren't working and most repair shops know nothing about kias ...you are out of luck and money. better to pay a little more for a more dependable car
Ki-eh!

On first blush, the Optima is a nice car. But after driving it for almost a year, the honeymoon is over. Window problems, cold starting hesitation, rough idling, only fair milage (even with the 5 speed), gives me pause to purchase another Kia. Reponse by the dealer (after 2 visits)about the rough idling, cold hesitation and fair milage was, "that's what the factory said it should be set at." I will say that the car is reliable and can pack in the people (2 adults/2 kids) and luggage. They say you get what you pay for. I was hoping for more.
not too happy
