2017 Kia Optima Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2017 Kia Optima express strong satisfaction, particularly appreciating the ride quality, spacious interior, and excellent gas mileage. Many highlighted its affordability and comparable features to more expensive competitors like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. However, some drivers noted concerns regarding oil consumption and maintenance issues."
It's great because it's affordable and has features like ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel.
December 9, 2025Has all of the bells and whistles. Only thing that would make it better is having a spare tire rather than just a can of fix a flat. I would compare the interior and ride to a Hyundai Sonata. The outside reminds me of a Nissan Altima with a couple noticeable differences.
May 18, 2022Absolutely love the car. Comparable to the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry of like years, but on average about $10,000 less for virtually the same car. Very quiet, very fast, user-friendly and luxurious. Zero buyers remorse. I highly recommend it.

September 28, 2021The ride quality is wonderful! Gas mileage is A+, the interior is spacious and ergonomically put together! You could literally drive anywhere in this car, well I wouldn’t take it muddin!
August 8, 2021I have a 2017 Kia Optima LX. Purchased it in 2018 with a little over 40K miles on it. Long story short it now has over 180K miles on it. The oil burns extremely fast on this car, constantly having to get oil changes and changing spark plugs. The oil burning out fast has been an issue way before the 100K mark.
