Never Been In The Shop For Any Type Of Repair. Gas Milage Is Great. I Average 28-29 Mpg — Fun car to drive. kick it in manual and it feels like a sports car. traction control work awesome in the snow. I test drove the 2.0 turbo and with this 2.4L high output engine, I didn't feel much difference so I opted to save some money and go with this. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: I just love the body style on the 2011 Kia optima. This car drives real smooth and quiet on the highway. it feels just like it did when I drove it off the lot. Cons: No cons here. I love this car. |

Fun, Fast, And Reliable — I love everything, speed and handling. Small motor with big bite. Shift able automatic and very nice navigation system with rear view camer. But sad to see it didn't come out in manual. Hopefully one day kia will decide to make one for the market. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Interior room. Cons: Only comes in automatic |

Best Car I Ever Had — I have 3 cars in my entire life. I am 19 and so far the KIA Optima is the most reliable vehicle I had not only that but it definitely has a luxury look to it so is also very stylish as well as economic. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Looks like a high end vehicle but you still drive something that is a lot cheaper and perhaps more reliable than anything I had in the past! Cons: Is a large sedan so you have to get used to driving it around and parking it in small areas. But very space full. |

Fantastic Machine — At 1st I said I would NEVER own a KIA!! Boy was I surprised when I took it for a road test. I went back to the dealer and drove home 2 hrs later in my new Kia. Wanna talk about fast....when that turbo kicks in its like a rocket. No as fast as my 911 but it would give it a run for the money!! Style, dependability, inexpensive maintenance and speed all in 1 car. Pros: Style Cons: NONE |

Best Car For The Money...period. — This car makes you feel like you are driving a high-end BMW or Jag. It makes Lexus owners want to cry. Do yourself a favor and test drive one. You will go home a believer. P.S. I am a real person and this is a real review...not some con job from a dealer. Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros:
This car is an OUTSTANDING value! With the luxury package you get a dual panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled front seats. Heated rear seats. Heated steering wheel. Memory driver's seat. Push button start and keyless entry. Cons: The factory tires are a little noisy. Instrument lighting on steering wheel and door controls is too dim. |

Great Car, A Must Buy. Kia Is Here To Stay! — Wish I had more power, but it's in the SX trim with its 2.0L Turbocharged engine. Love the car though. Great room, great milage, great look. Kia's new direction is incredible and the prices for what you are getting is unbeatable. Pros: Everything Cons: Not much, just the power, but that is available in the EX and SX trims. |
