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!

Piece of junk

2018 Kia Optima LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

This car I purchased brand new from courtesy Kia in Brandon Florida. After finding out employees took my trade in and made a false accident attempting to then sue me for 100,000 and receiving zero support from Kia or the dealership (yes that happened). Fraud. This piece of junk car has been nothing but a headache. The headlights are so dim sometimes your not sure if they are on. The batter needs to be replaced after 30,000 miles and Kia won’t cover it. The car suffers from loss of power while driving down the road (Kia won’t cover it). The car makes a thumping noise at highways speeds (Kia won’t cover it). The brakes need replacing after 40,000 (Kia won’t cover it). They wouldn’t even cover a new headlight that cost $6 at wal mart. RUN!

It's a great looking car. It drives so smooth I caught myself in the 80's on the interstate. No police please. The safety features are so reliable. Something about me I don't smoke or drink. So for my vice I use a car wash service. It's a black car and it's always clean. I have had two convertibles and this car beats both of them. Even my 20 year old son likes driving my car over his loaded truck. The gas mileage is wonderful, I have a sixty mile commute each day and I only fill up once a week. Yes once. Your not driving unless it's a Kia.
