Great Car For The Money

I have only owned this car for a month but can already tell I'm going to like it very much. Lots of power, every bell and whistle, good handling, tight build, and a GREAT stereo (Infinity system). Even a leather interior and all for under $21K. Lots of car for the money.

Our 2005 Optima is most impressive in terms of value versus performance/confidence in driving. It is quite comfortable driving with the manual adjustable lumbar and seat adjustments. We have a 5 speed with overdrive and, although it doesn't have the power I am used to, the mileage we get more the compensates for the lack in overtaking other vehicles on the open road. Now, don't get me wrong we cruise at 74 mph at a little of 3,000 RPMs very comfortably and experience much less road noise and vibration than the Corolla we've rented a number of times with intent to purchase. My wife and I realize the South Korean automakers are serious contenders in the market and our decision was sound.

I have had my Optima for 8 months and have done extensive traveling. I have had not one problem with the car. It has plenty of get up and go which is important to me especially since I used to own a Mustang. I would have no problems recommending this car. If you are on a budget it is an excellent value.
