Used Kia Optima for Sale in McKeesport, PA

I was skeptical about buying a Kia prior to test driving one. I felt that they were cheap cars that do not perform up to standards. However, when I first saw the style of the Kia Optima sxL, I had to give it a shot. The car looks like a luxury car, and comes equipped with just about every option one could imagine. It is extremely comfortable, rides well, and the electronics systems make driving pleasurable. What really caught my eye was the panoramic sunroof, which offers natural lighting throughout the car. The turbocharged engine offers more than adequate power, yet the car manages to get decent fuel mileage. The car lacks a bit in handling and the steering isn't as tight as you might expect. However, its still a pleasurable driving experience. The biggest downfall of this car is the learning curve on all of the options. Without the manual, it is difficult to figure out how to use some of the electronic systems such as the navigation/media console. I've also found that the cooled seats do not cool as well as expected.

This is a standard, basic car without a lot of bells and whistles; but it really gets the job done. I have put on a lot of miles and, even though the car is older, I haven't had any problems with it. Maintenance is easy and inexpensive. I get good mileage with it, but the gas tank on this car is small! It's a quiet car, which I actually don't quite like, because sometimes when stopped at a light I'm not sure it's still running. The car handles highways well; and it's fantastic on dirt roads (I draw the line at mudding, though). The body has held up really well, especially considering what I put the car through. The interior of the car is not really family-friendly! I am female, and I think the car fits me quite nicely, but a guy might not be as comfortable since the seats are not really roomy. Also, the car is a two-door which would make it inconvenient for those with small children or babies that need to be in car seats. The trunk is a good size - I keep some camping gear in there at all times, a stash of books (about 30 of them!), a roadside emergency kit, spare fluids, tap shoes and hiking boots, random junk, and still have room to throw groceries in. Unfortunately, I found out after a minor crash that parts are difficult to find and expensive. Overall, I consider it a perfect car for me--something that will get me where I am going when I need to, and allow me to have fun my way.
