I have had a base model kia optima with the 6 speed transmission now for about 8 months and ive never hated driving untill driving this. Ive never had another car that I could drive for 2 hours and get out twice as sore and uncomfortable as when I got in. The throttle is incredibly touchy and coupled with the delay in throttle it makes it very difficult to take off smoothly or even travel at slow speeds smoothly. The only reason this review gets two stars is because of the ride quality. It handles rough new brunswick roads well, the ride is comparable to my 1984 Lincoln town car. Very smooth, but handles terrible and body roll even on a daily basis is enough to make you sea sick... All in all I cant wait to run it over with our front end loader when its day comes.

The Kia Optima "Hybrid is a Beautiful Thorn " so bad mechanics make up all kinds of stories not to be bothered.Under 40 miles an hour it drives like a dream quiet shuts of at light wow perfect car for a teen? Infact you dont even know the car is on. So whats the proublem First things first got the car the nextday I took it to Kia of Rockwall to have the car inspected checked for recalls oil change They found nothing so they said well they mentioned that the computer might need replaceing oneday? Great so we're good? so we thought.In less then a week the Car loos speed between 60-80 as if the cars stuck in first Gear sort of like Learning to drive a stick shift for the first time? A week ago we had the tranmission changed After driving it for 30 min it doing the same thing but worse than before. Now this is the second time only this time the engine light and the wrench light dosent come on at all wow. I also notice that their appered to be little to no power registering on the gage that represents the batery and or the traid of between the engine and the batery. I joined the Omptima forum com. only to find out I was band for soan so they say.

Normal driving you'll be lucky to get 19mpg. Thought with a range of 24-34 it would fall some place in between. Otherwise it is a fun car. With all the bells and whistles it is comparable to a car that costs $20k more.
