Car looks sporty, rides nice,but be aware….avoid any Kia or Hyundai vehicle that has the 2.0 motor. It has design flaws and lots of problems.

This car surprised me with how nice it is to drive. It's smooth,sporty and responsive. Everything feels intuitive. Never thought I'd recommend a Kia but here I am. Good job Kia.

Stylish, comfortable with great pick up

I’m on the last 2 months of a 36 month lease/ Optima EX. I only have good things to say about this vehicle. Comfortable on long trips, enough room to comfortable seat 4-5 people. I only get cars that have quick pickup and this one fit the bill. I tried a lower end model and was NOT impressed. Since the Optima has been discontinued I’ll be looking at the K5 EX for my next lease.
