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.

Look out
Engine on recall. It blew up with 70k + miles on it.
Engine
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.

Headlights are my only issue with this car
The headlights are not the greatest they are not bright and there is a distance line that it makes it very hard to see ahead at night and when one light goes out they both go out.
