It is very roomy. Runs very well. Had no major issues in 4 years. Only simple maintenance of oil change n tire rotation. Love the warranty on my Kia.

This car rides and drives like a 70k luxury car. Very roomy. Eye catching style! I get complements everywhere I go. HOWEVER, it burns oil, engine knocks. I go through a quart of oil every 1000 miles.yep you heard me. A 55,000 mile well maintained car that burns oil.

We love our car. Luxury and sport for a good value. We haven’t had any significant issues with our car thus far. Could have a little more insulation against road noise.

Antenna

The antenna on my 2016 optima broke off in slightly high winds. Kia, Tom - program manager and others would not stand behind the kia brand/product. I would not trust Kia product nor warranty unless you plan on keeping the car in your garage and never driving it on a windy day. A simple antenna cover and repair cost $365.82!!! What good was the factory warranty?
