Coming out of a 2007 Mazda CX7 GT, I was leaning hard towards a 2014 Mazda6. In my due diligence, I looked at the 2013 Optima which really caught my eye with its beauty. After test driving the SXL w/turbo there was no comparison. With 3k in incentives it was comparable to the Mazda, yet blew it away in creature comforts and luxury. I've had the car for about a week and have no regrets. Having had BMW's, Infinity's and a corvette I can honestly say this car is the nicest I ever owned. Performance is nothing less than amazing with the smoothest power-band I've ever experienced, especially considering the turbo. Comfort and value are second to none. Fun factor remains to be seen as I adjust.

Purchased this car used - have had two weeks and am having steering problems. The car refuses to travel in a straight line - the nose of the car wanders back and forth requiring constant steering corrections. Just did research on the web and discovered that this is a COMMON PROBLEM with Optima's from the 2011 - 2014 range. Contacted the dealership and they can't get me a service appointment until a week from now. I am so disappointed - this is my third Kia and I feel like I've bought myself a headache UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW - Three weeks after purchase, we had an accident with this car (which had nothing to do with the steering problems) - I have raised my overall review of the car, as it performed well in the crash and kept my family from being seriously injured

We have enjoyed driving this car both in the city and on the highway. It gets up to speed quickly and handles well. The seats are multi adjustable, heated and cooled, and very comfortable. The only problem we have had is with the GPSas it tends to change destination from the one entered.The service we have had from the two Kia dealers we have taken the car to have been very good. We no longer own the car. WE NO LONGER OWN THIS CAR!!!

Make sure about the Title, and whether there is any carry over warranty.

Just bought a 2013 Kia Optima - Absolutely love it!! The salesperson at Young Kia was very knowledgable and was not pushy at all.
