Just purchased it and although I've only had it a few days I love it so far and I really like the warranty they offer with KIA. Would buy another I really like it and the price was great! Rides good too!
As good as anything in its class.

This car is as good or better than anything in its class. I am sure the price will rise on this car very soon. It is truly the bargain out there.
So far so good!

Of course I've only had my 2010 Optima a few weeks but i really have enjoyed it thus far! I looked at the new 2011 Optimas and Sonatas but i really don't like their new "race car" style ( maybe because I'm 54?!) But i find the more classic sedan style appeals to me a lot more. I've been told it has the look of a much more expensive car. My 2010 has a really comfortable ride too. Real smooth and plenty of power for my kind of driving ( around town suburbia with a fair amount of highway ). Love the built in Satellite radio and the standard 6 speakers has sufficient oomph' for my R&R-ing. Alloy wheels was a must so i went for the conv. pkg. which also incl.'s power seats. Also added sun roof.

I would like to say the 4 cylinder engine on the Optima in this car isn’t what makes it unreliable, it’s the brakes, clutch and transmission. The brakes on the optima would constantly clamp down and get struck randomly, leaving me stranded at times.Transmission often gets stuck in neutral and you have to use the power of Zeus to push it into gear. The clutch is also very light which makes it extremely hard to balance.

Purchased brand new, but mostly drive it in the city. The fit, finish, quality and ride is amazing. Test drove a Camry, Accord and Malibu. The ride was a good or better then them all. Driving position was easy to find with power seat. Get 28 mpg in city and 34 on the highway. Will buy another in 5 years.
