Used 2004 Kia Optima Consumer Reviews
Beautiful!
Very NICE ride! Nicer than my SUV. I LOVE to pass the gas stations in my NEW CAR!
Solid Car for the $$$
I love this car! For the money I paid, I felt like I was stealing this car from the dealer!! Great warranty. Lots of power. Decent milage. Solid and (so far) reliable.
Really like the car
I really like my car. I bought it because of the looks and price. Went with the intention of buying basic car but ended up with extras (leather, wood trim, better stereo and heat/air system). I'm used to a four cylinder so I'm sure that makes a difference. Optima drives great (smooth, great pick- up) and gets good mileage on the highway (drove to Penn from Mass and got about 30 miles/gal). Around town not so great (about 19 miles/gal), but I sit in traffic going/coming to work. Very comfortable and roomy. Rides smooth. Very happy....
it ok
seem to me I steering to the right a lot on this car. Maybe caused it have Low performances tires. Also the road noise is bad ain't a really big fan of that.
Kia Optima: Optimum Protection
My Kia Optima saved my life! An elderly lady that swore she hadn't been drinking ran a red light on a major state highway. I was hit in a 50 mile-an-hour side collision(driver's side) with her Taurus wagon. The side air bag deployed and cradled my head and torso. I managed to get out of the passenger side door. Not til later did I notice that the doors were peeled outward on the driver's side from the impact. I learned that Kia constructed the door pieces so that upon front or side impact, the doors would not intrude into the safety cage. Thanks Kia! I am know looking forward to another Optima or Amanti instead of a hospital bed.
