Compared to previous years this is a big step back for the optima! A lot of the chrome highlights are gone! The dual exhaust chrome pipes are no longer! No more fog lamps either! The dash is no longer sporty looking! Was bad enough when the v6 was removed from the ex! I have a 2015 and won't go newer!

Many people talk about this car just driving it for a couple weeks. No, that's not a review of nothing...to know the car at least you have to drive it at least one full year, all weathers and all roads. Mine is compare to a Hyundai Sonata, just about that.

The Car is Ok at face value

The soft mechanics and electronics are decent in this car. Don’t expect to take this car to a mechanic besides Kia. They do not last. My car is less than five years and a 100k miles and I’ve spent $2,000 on it. The car is not worth it.
