Bought this car as college graduation gift for my son. Drove it from Midwest to west coast to begin a job in a new city. Across country, engine light comes on and now needs to be in for service 3 days. This should NOT happen with a brand new car. Starting a new job and needing to get car in for service in a new city is a HUGE hassle. Wish we had bought something else.
***REALLY AWFUL****

Prior to buying this vehicle I owned a Chevy Silverado, So obviously downgrading to a fuel efficient economical car was very appealing. The car we bought had all the bells and whistles. leather, Navigation, double sunroof, Hybrid, everything. Fully loaded. Not knowing a lot about cars I thought this would be great for my 10 year old daughter and I. I am a busy military mom and I was planning on starting school full time. Within 2 years of ownership. I've had one tire blow out, wheel bearing and cross bar replacement, dead battery, replaced 4 tires, electrical shortage, and the last thing 2 days ago the hybrid system shut down in the middle of a Highway 80 mile an hour traffic. afraid my life was over I was able to maneuver to the side of the rode. the dealership service department had the nerve to say it was the battery, turned out to be the hybrid system. currently trying to get out of this vehicle asap. please for the safety of yourself and your family do not get a hybrid.
Love my Optima

I traded in a 2008 Honda Accord for a 2013 KIA Optima. I am extremely happy with everything about this car. There are so many bells and whistles. It's comfortable and the panoramic sunroof is great. My husband purchased this car for me and I love the Metal Copper color. It's fun to drive. KIA hit this one out of the ball park.
BEST CAR I HAVE OWNED Always a happy Kia customer

Worked for Kia and traded my 2012 Ford Fusion for the 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid. It was the best decision I made. This car is so good looking and has all the right features and is very comfortable. I also worked for Toyota and recently bought a 2016 Camry XLE as an extra car and I am so mad I did not get another KIA. The Optima has 71k highway miles and I have not had to change the pads or rotors as of yet the only thing I have done is oil and air filter. This car rides like a dream and just looks so good I cannot say enough good things about my KIA. The quality, warranty and reliability are unbeatable. If you haven't checked out KIA lately I would do so. I can not wait to trade in my Toyota Camry for another KIA.
