At a little over 8000 miles, the automobile is serving me well. No problems at all. Seating is comfortable. Power's fine at 192 horses. Gas mileage is good, mine are mostly highway miles. Road noise is a little louder than I'd like, but its not an upscale vehicle, more of a very adequate one. That is what I sought when I purchased it. Updated on 2/1/17...so, I like the car very much; I describe it as driving like a BMW. Don't know if that's true, but the car runs well without problems and accelerates adequately. The dealer, however, in repairing a latch on the underbody engine shield charged $166. I wonder since I never hit anything whether that was an appropriate charge. Wasn't like I hit a pothole and such circumstances beg the question as to whether the engine latch failed under normal driving conditions. Plan to write the dealership owner. Other than that I love the car.

Check the road driving expirience.. Mine had a tendency to drift around, just a bit at 70 + ... I had the alignment set a bit more "toe out" and it has helped. There is NO spare so keep those tires fresh. Eco drive mode is noisy and does not seem to add any MPG. Be sure to change the shift modes ...ONLY when stopped and before starting the engine, with the ignition ON.. or you will get a whining sound until you change the mode back to eco and do it right. I only got one remote so I had to buy one from the factory in Korea to keep from getting ripped off. ($78). Also check with a locksmith who programs them and laser cuts the emergency key.. costs $40 .....as opposed to $65+ at the dealers. Sad to say... that my Azera was a better car with a 3.8 V6 that would really go and was whisper quiet ...and got 27 or better MPG..this Optima's wimpy L4 barely gets the job done and get 29.5MPG. Thank goodness I am getting older and really don't care.

I believe that a Kia Optima is the best combination of styling, comfort, fuel economy, driveability, and reliability on the road. This is my second Optima. It's perfect, just like the first one I owned. Anyone looking for maximum value in a mid-size sedan should look carefully at the Optima. I think it is the best sedan buy available.
