This is my first Kia, and it won't be my last! I just drove to Georgia, and I couldn't have asked for more from my Optima, I can't wait for my next trip. The gas mileage was awesome, and it handled beautifully.
I love my Kia!

I bought my car used with 84,000 miles on it, it's been a great car, currently we have to replace the blower resistor in the a/c but warranty is covering it. This car has plenty of power and handles very well.

I just purchased a 2005 Kia Optima after trading in my 2004 Kia Optima. I love the V6 power because i had the 4 cylinder previously. This car has got damn near everything i want in a vehicle.
Glad We Got It...

So far, so good. The very first week, we took it on a round trip of 500 miles and it averaged right at 30 mpg. That should increase somewhat as the engine breaks in. We feel we got a good deal on the car. The warranty and extras are what sold me as compared to what the local Toyota dealer was willing to give us. With the price of gas continuing on an upward spiral, we're glad we got the 4-cylinder engine. It's got enough zip for us.
The Kia that kept on going...

We have owned this car for four years now, out of it we have had to take it to the shop 3 times in the last year. Thankfully the Bumper to Bumper waranty cover it. So far the struts had to be tightened, the driver side door lock regulator (I had to crawl out of the passenger side for days! LOL!) and I had to have the passenger window motor replaced because it was noisey. All of these have been minor repairs, we are finally nearing 50,000 miles and it has never let us down, stranded or anything to that affect. No one believes how fast this car can actually go, but on a trip to Georiga after we first got it, I got it up to 137 MPH and it handled very well. Better than my 98 Z28.
