The car is small, which I like. It doesn't accelerate very quickly, which actually makes me feel safer because I have a bit of a lead foot. Surprisingly, though, it doesn't get the best gas mileage, especially on local roads while idling, but also on the highway. The feeling of safety is definitely worth the trade off, and I would recommend this car to anyone with a tendency to drive a bit recklessly. The inside of the car is even better. I think every person who has been a passenger in the front seat of the car has commented on how comfortable the seats are, and the air conditioning is great. The one downside is that the low setting for heat can still make the car get very hot, very quickly -- there is a rear defroster, but there isn't a rear windshield wiper. Mechanically, it is starting to show some signs of wear (at 63k miles). Something rattles around in the passenger side door unless the door is shut with a lot of force.

I have a white Kia Optima. It has powered seats. A touch screen control for media. Plenty of space to stretch out. Trunk is huge and deep. It really drives well. Only downside is if you don't keep up on maintenance like oil changes the MPG really drags. I really can't say too much though that I didn't like of this car. I really really love this car.
