Love Love Love my car!

This car is super spacious, great on gas, and has a great exterior look to it! I receive so many compliments on my car and I love taking it for a drive. Sometimes the USB port for ApplePlay acts a little funky but I usually unplug and plug my USB charger right back in and it works fine after that. My last car was a Kia Forte which I loved as well but the Optima was the perfect upgrade for me. Overall, Kia has treated me great :)

4Th Optima since 2011

I have owned many optimas, i loved the 2011 lx and the 2012 SXl, they were both great. The 2014 lx i owned, had the engine recall and after the repair the engine light stayed on. I decided to purchase the New 2018 Kia Optima S. Pros- Great styling, it picks up and goes and with 3 driving modes its pretty cool, love the Apple car play, love the sport style leather interior, led fog and rear lights. Cons- I have a hard shift from 2nd to first when slowing down, The brakes occasionally squeal (i live in Texas and it gets hot so no moisture should be causing them to squeal. The apple car play freezes sometimes. I purchased my car in October of 2017 so ive had it almost a year. Overall its great on gas, comfortable on long trips, great sound system, looks sporty and stylish. I think this is my last run with the Optima.

My 2018 Kia Optima Sport gives my spirit a lift every time I drive it. It's gorgeous, sleek, powerful, easy handling, sooo comfortable, has great safety features and gives me a great sense of confidence. I especially appreciate that the driver's seat can be raised so that short drivers can actually make use of the sun visors and also see over the dashboard. The 2018 models have many safety features and ApplePlay connectivity as standard features. The backup camera also warns off approaching cross-traffic, which is imperative when backing out of many parking situations (impossible to see past SUVs).
