I have 165k and never an issue - 30 to 35 mpg consistently. Runs great. Runs smooth. I change the oil every 5k with Mobil 1 and change the air and cabin filter every 15k. Other than that, I have changed the brakes once, and the tires several times. No complaints - I would buy another in a heartbeat

Bought this 2013 Optima LX in January 2017 as a Certified Pre-owned with 16,000 miles on it. Just passed 50,ooo. Love the car. Handles great, drives great, looks great. Would definitely buy a Kia again although I'd buy one the Hybrid. But I'd never do business with Tom's River Kia... 1/9/2024...Just passed 82,000.. Never have to buy another car again!!! 😁🤣👍✌️✌️✌️

I bought it thinking I would get less than shown on mileage. WRONG !!! After 1000 miles getting, Interstate driving cruising, 70 mph on flat ground, a steady 36.7-.8 mpg. Yesterday a 53 mile return trip driving Interstate Hwy with rolling hills, State Hwy with steep hills, 6 miles of rural blacktop road with high hills and and winding curves, stopping in small town to buy dinner, stopping at 4 stoplights . Average 34.7 mpg, average speed 49 mph for total trip . General driving trip to town driving 26 miles through steep hills on winding road and town driving, average 29.3 mpg. For anyone getting terrible mileage with this engine, try Star Tron add to clean water/crbn from fuel, etc.

Bought used in 2015. 18 months later, the engine seized up while driving. Kia replaced with a refurbished engine. One year later, the refurbished engine seized up while driving. Kia replaced again with another refurbished engine. Too many recalls on this vehicle to count. Replaced headlight bulbs at least a half dozen times since purchase. No words for how disappointed I am in this car.
