Used 2017 Kia Optima Consumer Reviews
Used Optima for sale
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2017 Optima, so we've included reviews for other years of the Optima since its last redesign.
More that I bargained for.

This car is my first buy in 18 years and I love the value technology fuel economy warranty and dealership experience. The reviews by reputable auto evaluators (i.e. Edmunds) have been spot on. I would gladly recommend trying out the Kia Optima experience.

It has the look and feel of German engineering, but the price and reliability of Asian technology. I bought this car after extensive research, because of it's beauty, driver mode control and shifting capability. It's not often discussed, but the Optima has 3 modes which the driver controls with the push of a button. Economy, normal and sport mode. This is extremely important to me because the car suits the mood I'm in at the moment and responds in kind. For example, if I need the power, sport mode gives an immediate throttle response with high RPM's; I can suck all the horsepower it can give. If I'm mellow and want a smooth ride while saving on gas, I switch to "eco" mode. There are a lot of positive comments I have about this car, but know this: it's a big and fairly heavy car, so don't expect it to handle like a BMW.

We bought our KIA LE s fairly loaded - Leather seats, moon roof etc., Plus so many on line criticisms, but not so much by owners, so I thought there might be some issues down the line. We got a great deal and the buying experience was just about perfect. And after almost three years it has performed flawlessly. Only one trip to the dealer, and that was a great experience. I really like to lay back in the leather seats and look out the panoramic sun/moon roof at night.

Really enjoying the car so far. The tech (radio/navigation/phone integration/etc) are excellent. Highwat MPG was better than listed on our trip. Surprisingly good acceleration.
