After having 4 sorentos, I decided to try a sedan and went with the Optima, Great looks, handling and comfort, only downfall is the 2.4 isnt the fastest, wish I had the 2.0 turbo, I wish Kia would use the 3.3 v6.

I had an 2013 Optima ex and loved it. No complaints or issues. They made me a great trade in offer so I upgraded to a 2017 Optima Ex. Worst decision I could have made. From day one it has been trouble. My transmission slips and the claim the can't replicate it or find a problem. My right mirror will not save memory so I have to set it everytime. Again they can't seem to fix it. My radio has been replaced because it would not display heat/air settings. To top it off the lifters are now knocking when I crank it. I only have 40,000 miles on it. I wish I had kept my 2013.

2017 Kia Optima SXL Turbo 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

My 3rd optima keep stepping up. Now at the sxl. They are just good cars. No they aren’t Audi’s or the like but what do you expect. Mine listed for 37. Got it for 29 and change admittedly 37 is just to much. 29 however is a steal. I will have had it 2 yrs November and I have that itch. Want a new car for wants sake. Then I get in my car and drive it. It’s great truly. Nice styling. White with Crome package good stereo and all the creature comforts. Is it a sports car. No! But ample power. Even the paddle shifters are a hoot. The trans could be quicker. But it’s a sedan so that’s what you get. Honestly they made this car , for the money; to good. And to step up cost. 40-50. And do I really get that much more ? As of right now. I will say if u do go for an optima make sure you get the 18 inch wheels. Not the 17’s the make a huge difference

I just upgraded from my 2014 Kia Optima SX / tech package. To the new 2017 Kia Optima SXL I must say Wow what a big Difference. 2014 Optima was not bad for its age but this new one beats it in every way possible. Yes it has less HP but it seems quicker you get 260 hp tourq at very low 1350 rpm compare to previous which came in about 1650rpm . The New sport,eco,normal modes compared to to previous gen are realy,realy good and noticeable. Steering is better interior cabin is much much quieter plus more roomy . Technology in this new Optima is outstanding I love the smart cruise control , Auto hold and atnomuse breaking all these safety tech features have been engaged at some point of my driving since I owned it . Thank god nothing has happen to me or the car . Only thing I don't like about the car very small and very hardly noticeable if you are a picky person like me . That are the Kia kick plates or cup holder they no longer illuminate , the instrument cluster gadeged no longer go all the way to max RPM upon start of the car. Last but not least thier is a bit of engine noise in the cabin when flooring the the car at low rpms not a bad thing sometimes it's kinda annoys me . Other then those little inprofections the car is great!
