Style, Price & Performance
For the money, you can't beat a Kia. The service from Kia is excellent and they are good about fixing issues that come up. Yes, there have been some recalls but they have issued notices and dealers have honored the work needed. I have an SX sedan, non-turbo. I love the design. In fact, this model was designed by a former Jaguar designer. This car hasn't had any issues so far and I'm glad I got this year. I'm not too excited about the newer models. One thing I don't like is where the heat vents are and the lack of fan power. I live in MN and need a good powerful heater. For some reason, this doesn't have it. It blows but not real strong. My car gets warm and cool but better vent placement and fan power would have been nice. It's not a deal breaker. This is a big, safe sedan with style and is holding up well. I bought it new and am happy with my purchase.

A SPORTY LUXURY CAR
If you are looking for a vehicle with all the bells & whistles PLUS a sporty feel & exterior profile....this is the car for you! Once you test drive it you will be in love with it. Heated & cooled front seats are a wonderful feature for Texas weather. Never owned a hybrid before & Kia made me a believer. I will continue to own hybrid vehicles in the future.

Our 2014 Optima LX
We have owned our 2014 Optima LX for over a year now. over all, we are happy with the car. Plenty of power, good cornering, nice ride, very sharp design. The front passenger seat is very low. I had to buy a cushion for my wife. The back seats are a bit low also. The steering could be a bit firmer. We have the car in for service now with a coolant leak. This is our first Kia so we will see about the reliability. It is fun to drive so I hope it is a keeper.
Best car around for the price
Working in the car business I see a lot of different cars and my SX Turbo Optima is the best car I have ever seen or owned hands down! I got the Corsa Blue that stands out. I can't tell you how many times I have been stopped and asked what kind of car I drive! The turbo is so fast I'm suprised I haven't gotten any tickets yet! For the money you turely can't beat it!
Nice car w/ some issues.
Car is comfortable, stylish and peppy. Stated gas mileage is a total lie. Manual transmission is terrible. Headlights do not illuminate road. Service advisers are not correctly informed of issues.
