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

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.

I bought my car in October 2019 just had it for four months the engine blew. I contact Keia immediately they kept my car for two weeks saying they were looking into how they can help me. They have been the only hands on my car and they performed the last maintenance. When i bought my car i was not told that their was no warranty left on it or that i may need to purchase an extended one immediately before purchase. I was asked when you gone be able to bring the check several times and not given needful information. I am upset that they kept my car so long to tell me even after calling the Kia Cooperate office and waiting on a decision about the matter they are inable to help me. Cant trade it because i still owe 14,ooo.oo on it and to trade will leave 10,000.00 equity that the bank does not want to finance. I stuck with the car and sad , stressed and really feel they could have did something. They tried to pit me more indept by offering to put me in a 2016 which would have left owed alot of quity as well. Im done when i get another car it wont be from Kia. I gotta get the equity to wear i can trade without a lot left to pay. Can somebody give me a top person number to call on Kia im sick of this being nice.

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.
