Used 2009 Kia Optima Consumer Reviews
Another Great Kia
Before I purchased my Optima I had a 2008 Kia Spectra in which was a great car. When I traded in I had 47k miles no problem what so ever. I went to the dealership to get an oil change when I saw that 2009 Optima Midnight Blue and it was love at first sight. The price, style and performance are great. First look at this car and you would say that's a car that is in the 30k range. My optima was in the low 20's and with the rebates and the fact that I was a current Kia owner that made the rebates even greater. I would say Kia is my car of chose hands down. Kia keep on keeping on.
Nice car, give Kia a chance!
Picked up my LX automatic the very last weekend of Cash for Clunkers, which combined with the $3000 rebate made the car very affordable. Great list of standard equipment, good exterior and interior design, and a killer warranty made this an easy purchase. I've averaged 25 mpg in mixed city driving and just averaged 31 on a 300 mile road trip. Considering that I traded a 13 mpg SUV, I'm loving the savings on gas.
Husband against imports. Not anymore!
Husband had to go from a Taurus (19- 21 mpg) to an import because of his 50 mile one-way track to work everyday. He was against imports until he sat in the Optima. The conv. package with the 8-way lumbar seat, dimming rear- view, alloys and trip along with the dealer package of the rear spoiler, LEDs on side-view mirrors for turn- signal, and pin striping made this car a looker! Not a plain Jane anymore! Car was 22K and with rebates/trade we paid 15K. Was a leftover with 18 miles on it. Dealer put another 100K on the pwrtrain warranty for a total of 200K! Hubby did not think he could find a mid-size import with the mpg he liked. Thumbs up so far!
Love My new Opitima!
Just bought my second Kia Optima and I couldn't be more pleased. The exterior looks awesome and is a big improvement. I bought another Optima after having driven an '05 for 3 years and never having to take it in for repairs. This car is so much fun to drive and I plan to have it for a very long time!
Optima was our clear choice
Very very nice midsize sedan. I was looking to replace my wife's car and the Optima was the clear winner. We looked at Camry, Malibu, Elantra & Accord and the Optima was the winner based on features, styling and price. The $5000 mark down we got really helped. The Metallic Bronze is a head turner in the sun and we like the interior and exterior styling. We also have a Borrego and Kia has done their homework; clean conservative styling and nice standard features. Great basic features, great styling, very roomy cabin and a great value. We would highly recommend the Optima for "The family 4 door sedan".
