2009 Kia Optima Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2009 Kia Optima have mixed feelings. Many drivers appreciate its good fuel economy, fun driving experience, and overall value. However, some have expressed concerns about its long-term reliability and the difficulty of cleaning the interior. The car is seen as a solid family option with decent space, but some believe it could benefit from improved seating comfort."
This is a beautiful car and was an incredible bargain. The fit and finish of the car is perfect. I would recommend this car to anyone.
February 26, 2010Love it! The car is smooth, quiet, & dependable, with good mpg & enough bells and whistles to make it fun to drive. Great buy! Highly recommended!
August 8, 2010Talk about value for the money. This car has been a good and relatively reliable all around family car with plenty of comfortable space for four (sometimes five). Looked at Accord, Fusion and Sonata and ended up with Optima. Great rear seat leg room - much better than Fusion. Gave up more supple leather and more horsepower from the Sonata, but paid 10% less. Liked styling and additional standard equipment and better mileage than Accord. Needs better front seats. Newer versions have improved the leather but cut down rear seat headroom.

July 26, 2012For a 4 Cyl, the acceleration is very good, and is a TON of fun to drive. The appearance could have been a bit for B.A., but I think overall it looks fairly nice. The gas mileage is really good too. Interior is easy to keep clean, although the back window is a mother effer to clean from the inside!
September 15, 2009I was more interested in an SUV. And the optima has been known to have major issues at 102000 miles. Im interested more in vehicles that are more likely to make it to 300000 mi.
