I like but I dont but I like it. Didn't handle well in high wind and rain too noisy/scary. I'm 5'8 lots of seating customization but couldn't get it right when I was seated comfortable for the ride, I couldn't see well. Also had reaching issue at atm, idk. Im not sure what the brakining feature is but if you coast at low speed the car brakes on its own/jerks. Where you put gas in is cheap looking an akward. I used it for a month, I liked the ride and back up camera and all inside features.

It has met my expectations so far, and I hope that it will continue to do so. Drive one and check it out for yourself. I believe you will be impressed.

2018 Kia Optima LX Turbo 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

I bought the 1.6 l turbo model, it is by far the WORST ever !!! seriously underpowered, the transmission clutters so badly at first gear, you have a feeling it will disintegrate, on stop and go conditions the shacking extremely violent you have to press on the gas paddle to increase revolutions on the engine, that will propel forward but you have no place to go, this creates a dangerous situation and safety issues which will cost lives ... KIA says this is normal !!! they have issued a bulletin telling consumers not to worry!!! check this out. The government will have to react after deaths are reported, it will be too late! AVOID this model under any circumstances!

Go and get you this car! Kia is by far the Best ever! And I have owned A lot of vehicles. We drove this car through a Colorado blizzard. The worker they’ve seen in years, and let me tell you, this optima is a freaking BEAST! Not one issue in the blizzard! We are sooooo impressed! After that trip we named her “The General”! Enough said, I will never buy anything but a KIA!
