Bought the Premium silver exterior black leather interior. I have it for only two weeks so I cannot comment on dependability. I bought the safety package which has blindspot warning and lane departure warning. It also has front and rear warning if you are too close, and a rear camera. It is a nice car but it is not a BMW or Audi. Its a KIA and it does not have the prestige of a German vehicle. One think I did not realize when I bought it is does not have a CD player. I wish I knew because I do not have music on my phone. The car drives nicely and is fast enough for me. It handles well and accelerates well. While the rear hatch has a large window there is limited visibility when looking through the rear mirror. There is also no rear wiper which would have been nice. One of the safety features is the car keeps itself in your lane. You literally can take your hands off the wheel for about 10-15 seconds. The problem is the after warning you to hold the wheel it turns this feature off and the car will go into another lane if you do not grab the wheel. Good head and leg room.

Nice car, shady dealer experience

KIA made a nice car, but, they need more professional sales people and marketing tactics. They did a nice job copying the exterior of an Audi A5 Sportback with the interior of a Mercedes. The materials and fit are still subpar. For example, the push button is hidden behind the steering wheel. The temperature gauge feels like cheaper silver plastic, too. For some reason KIA won’t let you buy the GT with a sunroof, and the roof materials are dark making it a bit too claustrophobic for me. A lighter roof color would be better. Also, most of the GT1 and GT2 colors come only in red leather. To me, the gray Nappa is best but only comes in blue and few dealers carry it. Lots of red, black, and whites. The dealers experience was such a turn off I began looking at the Audi instead. It’s about the same price without all the bling, including the cheap plastic airports on the hood that serve no function.

No doubt, this is an awesome looking car, it's fast, and has lots of latest technology. I own a Lexus and Porsche, and never owned a KIA. I went to the KIA dealer, and, I was immediately reminded that KIA dealers are no Lexus dealer. The car is beautiful, but, I noticed the seat and arm rest are not very soft and on the hard side. I sometimes take long trips and wondered how I'd feel. The interior is well designed and has nice materials but I am used to seeing a little wood in a sedan. I sat in the back seat, and, at 6 ft, it is very cramped and my hairs touched the roof. The dealer only offered me $800 off of list of $52,000. As much as I liked this car, I could not justify spending more than my Lexus for a KIA. I like going to my Lexus dealer for an occasional oil change and the KIA dealership just felt cheap. If KIA wants to sell $50k cars, they need to better understand and give the customer the full experience.

Current 2015 Optima owner (which I’m happy with) wanted to test drive for potential future purchase. Test drove base 32k model, great acceleration premium look and feel and great stereo. Wasn’t a fan of the visibility out the rear window - but I’m sure I would adjust. Amazing value at the suggested price.
