Used 2008 Kia Optima Consumer Reviews
Is that a Lexus?
Several people have mistaken my black Optima for a Lexus and they are surprised to learn it is a $14,000 KIA. The car looks beautiful with its chrome trim and elegant lines. The interior is tasteful and stylish, although the seat fabric looks a little sub par compared to everything else. Lots of little extras make the car appear upscale including extended sun visors, steering wheel controls for cruise/stereo, and blue dash lighting. The car has 3000 miles and has had a few glitches. The center dome light didn't always come on, sometimes the trunk popped open when unlocking the doors and the 4 cyl engine sounds clattery. Hopefully the dealers are capable and cooperative. So far so good.
I'll have a Kia please
The only problem I have had is with the computer system and 6 months after purchasing my car they reset the computer because the car was shutting down (not completely) when taking off after a stop. I recently had the same thing happen (5 years later) took the car in and they said that there were no indicators or upgrades to the computer system...I explained the first time and so they reset it again and Yay I have my car back :) It runs great and I love my Kia.

New to 213,000 + miles
Invested in tires, brakes, battery and less then $50.00 for exhaust repair. The interior is almost like new. No garage, so has some rust. Over 12 years and 200,000 miles. I'll never complain about this 2008 Kia Optima. 😊
