Used 2013 Kia Optima Sedan Consumer Reviews
2013 KX - worth a serious thought
The inside is roomy, and comfortable. The car warms up quickly. I have yet to take it on longer then a 1 hour drive, but my commute is 30 minutes and I am quite impressed in how comfortable it is. Dealer was excellent. Is a car I love to drive. My gas mileage is good for the size, just under 26 mpg combined. I have to wonder how people are driving that complain about low gas mileage. It is NOT a hybrid, small economy car. It is a mid sized vehicle, comfortably seats 5 and has lots of room. The "no spare tire" complaint to me-well the sealant and pump i like better then being out in the cold and rain changing a tire to a donut..been there, down that. I think this is a better setup.

WOW, what a head turning model. the SXL Limited edition. Red caliper brakes, 18 inch chrome wheels LED running lights. All the options in the SX model and more.
Farewell To My 2013 Kia Optima SX
I bought my vehicle CPO at 25K miles in 2014. Loved the car since the specs were better than the Honda Accord. Handling on the highway was great. However, I had to purchase a spare tire kit separate from the final negotiation price. As I approached the 109K mile mark, my panoramic sunroof became inoperable at a wide open position (except the shade) and I had to have the engine replaced (fortunately under warranty). The sunroof, however is NOT covered and will cost me > $6K for the dealer to remove the entire sunroof + lining and repair it. I declined the service work and have decided to get rid of the vehicle since I had 1 more payment on the car and I had spent ~$3K on maintenance, tires, brakes, and battery services within a year. No need to spend ~$500 for a technician to at minimum, ATTEMPT to close the sunroof. I never had engine and sunroof issues on my Honda 6 cylinder coupe. Before purchasing an Optima, consider that you must purchase your own spare tire kit as indicated in other reviews. Also, the engine troubles that other consumers have experienced after the 60K mile mark is concerning. Now, the sunroof...I'll just accept the loss and take ownership of a new vehicle without any additional car trouble. Just be warned. At least I was able to drive the car preowned and reach >100K miles before severing ties with it.

2012 EX Optima - Amazing Value
Now a proud owner for 1 year. Overall average mpg 24.0+. Great ride and I am amazed by the acceleration of this hot 4 cylinder! Interior finish is excellent and the leather is tops. I am still wondering how this KIA is so well priced that anyone would buy a Toyota! Thus far no mechanical or build problems at all. Cons: Only one! The steering wheel is a bit to "slick" to grip.
