Used 2004 Kia Optima LX V6 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
My best decision
I bought it used with 67,948 miles on it. Replaced transmission fluid and stock Infinity stereo with pioneer DEH- 2200UB and boom it sounds great with stock speakers and tweeters. Engine goes silent after 5 minutes of drive. I get about 23-27 mpg on regular commute. My Optima has California state emissions and don't have to worry about timing belt change until 105,000 miles Last time it averaged 30 mpg on my way to philadelphia from pittsburgh, 356 miles on a v6 and 30 mpg, what more do you want?
Kia Magentis 2004 Model
I have found this car great value for my almost meagre spend on it. The car starts effortlessly, almost before the ignition is turned, it's silent, and just purrs when running. In motion it is very stable, and appears to bounce when it hits a bump.
Korea's Biggest kept Secret
I bought my Kia with 30k miles on it. Since I have bought the car I have driven about 13k miles without one single problem with it.
Used 2004 Kia LX V6
I used to have a Civic so the V6 is a lot of power for me and I love it. Gas mileage has been 27 with mixed but mostly highway driving. I like this car a lot because of the price. If it holds up, I feel it's a great car for the price. Everything I've read says the Kia is quality and shouldn't fall apart on me. V6 is quiet compared to our 4 cylinder Spectra and as a young couple we feel like we've bought an adult car. The best selling point is the price. I bought used for $10,300 with 24,500 miles on it. Reliability is yet to be seen.
Good Value
We have about 7500 miles on the 2003 which was purchased in October. There were a few things needing attention after delivery but the Dealer has been good about servicing. Its a six, fully loaded with the exception of ABS. We bought because of the warranty and low pricing.
