Really like the vehicle, it has almost all the features I wanted. It drives like it should and is comfortable, nice sound system, and looks good.
I thought it had Auto-Start but was mistaken it dont. (Disappointed with that - but my fault for not asking - so ASK!).Oct 02, 2023

I have had 2 of the 2016 SXL models. Loved them both. No problems with either. Looking for another after both endured being totaled, each having around 75-80k miles. First one I had had approx 5k miles on it, the 2nd one had 20k miles on it. Jun 22, 2023

Love my 2019 Kia Optima S. I like the simplicity of the interior as well as the stylish exterior.
Great everyday driver, very comfortable (I’m 5’-9”). The only knock I have on this car is the engines power. Lacks a bit compared to other cars in its class, but it wasn’t enough for me to stay away from. I’m a stay at home Dad with 2yr old twins and this suits us just fine. It’s definitely a budget car and I feel it was a good value.Mar 17, 2023

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.Jan 11, 2023

Has 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, 2022

This car is very reliable, extra spacey, and has inquisitive design. Only downside would be lack of features for lower builds.Nov 19, 2021

Absolutely 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.Sep 28, 2021

The Kia Optima has a very smooth ride and easy to handle. The A/C is very cold. The car is also very comfortable and the back seat has plenty of leg room for all three teenagers. Jul 23, 2021

I’ve been driving it for 5 days. So far I really like it. I have had Toyota Camry’s for years, but the car market made it hard for me to afford one now. The Optima reminds me of the Camry only I like the body style much better. It run nicely. I am hoping it rivals Toyota for longevity. We’ll see.Jul 12, 2021

I love all of the features! This car is a very good value. I just wish it had automatic seats and an automatic review mirror. I’m not sure what i would compare it to, but the steering wheel reminds me of a mustang!Apr 01, 2021

Great value. Little body roll in corners. Quiet, smooth ride for the most part. Great safety features. Love the interior and has plenty of cargo space. Gas mileage isnt bad but could be better. A little slow to accelerate. But overall I love it, Great value for the price! Feels like Im driving a more luxurious car.Oct 14, 2020
