Love the styling and build of this car. The 18 wheels and dual exhaust ports add to the appeal. The 2.4 I-4 isnt a slouch and pairs nicely with the 6 speed automatic transmission. Having different drive modes to choose from is great. Sport mode runs out the tach, stiffens the suspension and tightens the steering, and gives better throttle response, making it a gas to drive. The infotainmment system with rear camera is nice too. Only drawback is this car came from the factory without a spare tire. It comes with a pressurized can of sealant.

Not sure what other car can be equal with this. The price is great, the features, and quality kia has brought is excellent!

My third kia in 18 years. Love the EX Premium Optima. Best price for the features. Rides and drives great.
