Love this car! Great handling and pick up. Wonderful gas mileage, for a full sized "luxury" car. Large,roomy interior. Looks like it cost a lot more than it really does. Better than th e Hyundai Sonata(Kias' cousin). Smooth ride, great comfort for short or long rides. Nice safety features. Would reccomend to anyone looking at a Taurus or comparable car! More car, less money!

I have had noting but fun since i have gotten it. The car purrs and hada a great sound when you punch it. I have a Blast driving it. Friends always want me to to let them drive it. For the Price I don't think any car compares. I got mine with every option.

so far after 3 weeks of ownership there isn't anything I don't like about this car. This is how the big three should learn how to make cars. We looked at a lot of cars in this class and nothing could compare to the Kia's for price and warranty.

A GREAT COMPETITOR

Although we just purchased the 2003 SE Optima it has the beginnngs of a 'keeper'. I have sold others and this car will be difficult to compete against, even without the 10-100 warranty. The leather interior is a great opton, well thought out. The 2.7 is more than adequate for civilized driving. Freshened build for 2003 was needed.
