Great Car
This is my 2nd Kia Optima EX Base model. its a 2015. I love the Premium package (definitely worth the $3000 to 5000 upcharge but until things get better for me I am very satisfied with the EX Base. I've had my car for a week but I had the exact model in a 2012 and I love it. The newer one is quieter and has voice activated radio and the controls on the steering wheel are different. UPDATE I now have a 2017 I miss the 2015 for it's power dual exhaust bigger lit up cup holdrs. If I can have my 2015 engine in my 2017 care i'd be totally 100% happy

Love my car!
I've owned this car for about 6 months and couldn't be more please with the performance, design and gas mileage. We recently took a road trip and averaged 41 miles to the gallon. It is extremely comfortable and fun to drive. I traded a 2005 BMX X5 and was worried my Optima might be a disappointment. It was certainly not disappointment. In fact, since my purchase, my daughter as well as my parents have purchase a new Kia.
Best bang for the buck
Solid car with great performance. Great appearance inside and out. Some People say Ford, Honda and Nissan similar models are better or higher rated. However, my experience as a mechanic tells me a vehicle is only as good as the warranty behind it. A 3 year 36,000 mile warranty for a higher priced vehicle doesn't make sense to me. Honda makes a great car, (I've owned 3), it's a shame the factory warranty doesn't reflect their confidence in their product. KIA's warranty alone is second to none.

How low can the passenger seat go?
I like my optima except for the passenger front seat is too low. It woukd be fine for someone 5'5 or taller but otherwise you feel like you are in a small cage with only windows looking up to the sky. Otherwise all other seats and parts of the car are great. Wish there was a light in the trunk. Great deal and great seevice.
