Used 2002 Kia Optima Sedan Consumer Reviews
OUTSTANDING VERY IMPRESSIVE
BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY FIANCE AND SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT. I LOOKED @ ACCORDS, CIVICS, ALTIMAS, CAMRYS, AND A FEW OTHERS. HANDS DOWN THE OPTIMA WON IN EVERY ASPECT. IT COSTS THE SAME AS A 2-3 YEAR OLD HIGHER MILE VEHICLES, AND YOU DON'T GET THE GREAT WARRANTY KIA HAS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND KIA TO ANYONE!!!
Good for the money
I traded it from a 6 month old Spectra. The Optima is twice the car. The SE also brings many comfortible features. The 2.4 is addiquatly acceptable (for 138 horses). Stopping is pretty good as well.
Better than any car in it's class
My Optima is just awesome. My wife and I love it. It has great power(actually it will fly). Blows away the Accord cost less than a loaded Civic. You have to give this car a chance if your in the market for a great car for a great price. Rides like a cadilac. Kia did a good jod on the styling also. I would definatly buy another one of these cars. Watch out Honda & Toyota!! Kia is on it's way
Great Car
I bought this car for the value and warrenty, I m impressed more each day. I drive about 45,000 miles a year and have almost 5,000 miles on the Kia. This has proven to be be a great buy.
you get what you paid for
yeah, the car is inexpensive. obviously much cheaper than a comparable camry or accord. but you get what you pay for. the engine is louder than the accord and camry. tranny is slow to respond in sportronic mode but okay in full automatic. seats are good enough for the price. the styling is good though. if you trust the koreans, why not?
