Excellent transportation for around town

Car looks and runs well, except for one issue when the intake manifold failed at 40,000 miles, but it was fixed under warranty, no charge, Like the lane keep assist, roomy trunk apple car play rear camera works well, not the race car the Stinger is but is great for my purposes. Good mileage but seats are not very comfortable on the longer 300+ mile trips.

Pleasant car for a great price

The Optima was very pleasant to drive, with a big pano sunroof, decent power, and easy to use controls. It was less than pleasant for me to own, however. The lane keep assist bonged randomly, the dealers in my area were unhelpful, and I was disappointed in the fuel economy even if it lived up to its ratings. I got a lot of car for not much money, but I never did shake the feeing that I’d gotten what I paid for.

For the price you can’t go wrong! I love the ride and handling and on a long trip 2500 + miles it ran like a dream. With all the toys, lane departure, blind spot , front collision warning etc makes the drive very safe and most of all enjoyable! Most of all YES I Will buy another!
