2019 Kia Optima EX 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

After the lease on my 2016 MB E350 was up, I decided to finance something much more economical, but as close to the same ride and creature comfort as possible. Well, after driving my 2019 Kia Optima EX 1.6T for a few days I really didn’t miss the Benz. The ride, quietness, refinement, and seat comfort weren’t much of a downgrade from the E-Class. Seriously. And it has SO many more standard features, at more than half the price. And more room. The one con I have is the Dual Clutch Trans. I hate it. I understand its theory, but it’s too much like a manual, with the lurches. And it’s downright awful in stop and go traffic. Otherwise, it’s a great car.

Love everything about this car. Performance, comfort, style and great MPG. This is my 3rd Optima. Had a 2013 EX, 2016 SX Turbo and now the 2019 "S". Strongest suit is the drive train. Replace the weak headlamps and you'll have the perfect ride!

Noisey?

This is in response to one reviewer that complained about road noise in his 2019 Opt S. I only test drove this model and as I accelerated, this was the first thing I noticed. Road noise is pronounced. My '17 Forte is quieter than this thing! Too bad. Would have purchased it on the spot.
