My 2011 Kia hybrid is now just a bad memory. The hybrid system is nothing short of dangerous. Push the pedal and it would not go. Lots of fun when pulling into traffic. Jerked,hesitate and just awful to drive. Did I mention unsafe. Also seats as hard as bleachers at the ball park. Just horrible. No padding at all. Last---no resale. The Kia dealer would not even take it in on trade. They can't even get rid of it. They offer the lowest auction price. Dirt bottom. So stay away from these vehicles. You will regret the purchase. Don't believe the bull of---we now have the update fit. Not true---just as bad. These cars are a accident waiting to happen. Just Remember--DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

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.
