Used 2004 Kia Optima Consumer Reviews
My Car
I have only owned my Kia for about 6 months, but I love it. I have never had so much fun with a car. I'm usually a truck person, so for me to like a car is a huge compliment.
still new
I only just bought my Optima a bit over a week ago but having 26 years of driving experience i think I can rate it so far. It drives very well especially on the highway. Though the 4 cylinder isn't the peppiest i've driven it's sufficient for getting up to speed in a timely manner. The interior is comfortable and easy to manage. The styling I think is what stands out most, it looks better in my opinion that most Accords and Camrys. So far so good for a comfortable new car under 20 grand.
my review
I've only had this car 2 weeks, but it has been most pleasurable to drive. it has all the cajones and good looks to go with it. it feels very solid to drive. comparable to my ford, which i truly loved. With this car i don't miss her as much as i thought i would.
I'm a believer
The steering power assist is over compensated and the steering feels almost artificial, but I will never complain about it again. I had a near miss on the freeway yesterday and my Optima maneuvered excellently. If it wasnt for its excellent maneuverability and the power of the V6, I may not have been here to write this. Most people do not believe I paid $20k for the car (with $3K cash back); most say I must have must have paid at least $25K (it's loaded, leather, abs, and power everything). Its longevity remains to be seen, but for now, Im a believer.
excellent
Alot of car for the money
