So far I am really loving this car. I have had this vehicle for a little over a year and currently have about 15,000 miles on it and it has been very reliable. There was an issue with the air conditioning where it stopped working for a little bit, but we think it was due to a dirty cabin air filter which froze up the system. I haven’t had time to have a mechanic look at it yet but ever since I replaced the cabin air filter. It has been working perfectly. I love the fuel range. I get about 500 miles of range and between 25-35 mpg which is phenomenal. It’s so roomy and comfortable. The blind spot system, lane keeping assist, rear cross traffic alert, emergency automated braking, and back up camera are so convenient and useful. I will say that the emergency braking and blind spot features have saved my butt a few times. The power is great too. I used to have 2017 Nissan Sentra and that thing was like a golf cart. It had no power and it felt like it was going to fall apart when accelerating due to the cvt transmission. I am so happy that Kia put a traditional 6 speed automatic in the optima. I love it! It’s amazing. I never want to get rid of it. I love it too much!

Good pick up and go. THe SX model has some nice features, including being a bit more "plush" than the other models.

This my third Optima. Never a problem. I am going to take the buy out as I have very little mileage on the car. Looking forward to owning it.
