We purchased a KIA Sadona last year and have been very happy with it. So when our 2nd car needed to be replaced, there was no hesitation on what make of car we were going to look for. We went to the dealership and the choice was between the Spectra and the Optima. I really wanted the V6 so that left the Optima as our choice. I only have 200 miles on the car, but I love it! It drives very nice, and the look of the car compares to many luxery sedans. The price was right and I am sure when we are ready to trade our Kia's in .... we will be buying 2 more new Kia's!

Although I have not had this 2002 Kia Optima LX-V6 very long, it has impressed me with its quality build, comfort and performance. I highly recommend the V6 engine over the 4 cylinder. Much smoother and better performance with the automatic. The car is roomy and I am a large man who is over 6 feet tall.
