2009 Kia Optima - Nothing special about this car

This vehicle has nothing special about the looks of it. It hard to find in a parking lot because it blends in with just about every other car of the same color. I purchased it because I thought being a smaller car it would provide me with savings in the cost of gasoline, but this has most assuredly not been the case. The comfort in the ride is also not that great and considering that I did not buy the least expensive or smallest size car this company sells I expected it to be better than what it is. All and all I just do not feel this car has anything special to offer.

Story

I went to a local hardware store to purchase some items and the employee was amuse to see just how much I had planned to fit into the trunk and was even more amused to see me actually do it.

Pros

The only positive thing about my vehicle would be the fact that even though it is a smaller sized car it does have a very generous size trunk and I have been able to always fit every thing into it on every occasion. Also, when the need arises I can always fold down the back seats to hold even larger items.

Cons

I was under the impression that I would get very good gas mileage with this car but instead I don't get nearly what the sticker on the window claimed I would. Also since I live in an area of the country that has snowy winters it was important to me that this car would handle well in inclement weather and it has most assuredly not, it is the worst handling vehicle in the snow that I have ever driven in my entire life. I'm afraid every time that I venture out in bad weather that I am going to have an accident.

2013 Kia Optima - Great First Midsize

I was a little skeptical at first. This car was very middle of the road priced and I haven't heard great things about Kia. Well boy was I wrong!!! The car is a great car. It's the first one I've bought that has been in the mid size range. The car runs and drives great and I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend the Kia Optima to anyone looking for a great ride, reasonably priced car that gets great gas mileage.

Story

I got the car stuck in the snow. It handles so well and did so good in the snow that I over estimated it's capabilities and got it stuck in the snow so deep that I couldn't open the doors. I had to push and push and push to get the doors open and then a snow plow truck had to plow me out. Car handles well in the snow with a good set of tires.

Pros

The 4 cylinder engine is pretty peppy. The seats are comfortable. The dash gauges are illuminated in a read light. Cool! Love the two tone black and tan interior that I got. It gets really good gas mileage for a larger sized care. I drive highway all the time and get anywhere from 30-38 highway mpg

Cons

The tires that come with the vehicle do not last long at all. I got 28K out of the tires and had to have them replaced. The dealer said that I was really lucky to get this much. The factory puts a cheap tire on the car to get it out the door, then it's your problem.

2011 Kia Optima - Fantastic ride and good performance.

I immediately liked this car for its bold styling and low profile. Kia has come a long way in terms of styling in the last several years, and this was the first model year for this body style. It took the Optima from a budget sedan to a sport sedan swiftly and effectively. The ride is very comfortable and very powerful – the seats hold you in place and the acceleration is enough to make any man cry. There were a few minor glitches that had to be worked out, which were all covered under warranty, and have not reappeared since. The car gets excellent gas mileage, has a fantastic dealer warranty, and has been a very low maintenance car overall. This car can move, at 274hp this can rival many cars that cost double what this one does. With a wide, low stance, and great grip on the road thi... (more)

Story

I took this car on a 5000 mile road trip about a year into ownership. It was a great road trip car, and I covered 11 states with no issues.

Pros

My favorite features of this vehicle are the styling and performance. For this price range, 274hp is an absolute steal. And to have it look as sleek and stylish as any Mercedes or BMW is a huge bonus.

Cons

My only gripe is a rather large blind spot over my right shoulder, and it took some getting used to when reigning in the gas mileage. The car is ridiculously fun to drive, but at speed will suck down gas quickly.
