I purchased a new Kia Optima in 2014. It was a good looking car, but by the time I had 30k miles I started having problems: rattling Windows that after 3 visits to the dealership was never resolved; hit a bump in the road, no audio or display until I learned to pull the fuse and re-insert it to force a reboot; I had to replace the tires twice and purchase a new battery before 40k miles and the last straw was when I learned I needed new brakes at 45k, at which time I traded it in for a new Toyota. Save yourself the frustration - bypass this brand. I've had many cars in my lifetime and only Mazda was as bad as Kia.

Low Mileage and several problems

2014 Kia optima 32,000 miles when I bought the car five months ago. Entire engine seized at 36,000 miles Kia at least covered to put a new engine in it but was without a car for two weeks. Then at 38 500 miles my O2 sensors go bad. $675 to fix. Not happy with so many problems with such low mileage on the car only owned for five months.

Can't believe the quality for the price

Going on one month now for the 2014 LX. The car is half the price of the Lexus I used to own and the ride is better, its quieter, the 4 cyl gives me all the power I can use not to mention the gas mileage, warranty, all in a beautiful car. I cannot believe they build this great car for the low price. Its about three years...the car is still great...much better than my wife's BMW which is double the price I no longer own the Kia, but do remember it as a great car. I am now driving a 2018 Toyota Camry SE which has more features and advanced safety equipment as standard.

Google Kia Optima engine problems and you will find a number of suprisingly similar complaints to mine. Had for 4 months regular maintenance and suddenly engine just goes.
