2011 Kia Optima -
The 2011 Kia Optima took a formerly lackluster and forgettable mid-sized family sedan and gave us a memorable, affordable car that leaves still leaves people asking, "what kind of car is that?" in the very best way. It looks great. It's roomy, in the front and back seats, and even on the original 2011 rollout year, it offered just enough included extras to be luxurious.
Story
When we first got the car, we told the salesman we would be driving it a lot so we needed a purchase deal. A month later, I had the car to him for service for the 10,000 mile service. He saw me there in the service line and was worried something was wrong with the car. "No" I said. "I'm just here for service." "Wow, you weren't kidding!" He laughed!
Pros
The fit and finish on this car are very refined, making it look much more expensive than it is. The backup camera screen which doubles as the touch screen for multiple other controls, is large and easy to see. The EX trim level (a base level) also has a comfort trim option that makes the car seem much more high-end. It includes heated front and rear seats cooled front seats power front seats, independent climate-controlled zones and a double moon roof. For a very minor upgrade, this package is highly recommended for drivers who spend more than a small amount of time in their cars.
Cons
The Bluetooth interaction in this model could be smoother. It is quite often that the phone that is in the car is not detected even after it has been paired. The system is just inconsistent. This particular model year has also been plagued with electrical issues such as issues with the keyless entry/starter. However, overall for a new model year, it has been a good car.
2006 Kia Optima - Can't be a Kia
It looks like an average sedan. Only sporty features are the sunroof and the extreme tint to the windows. But it is the zippiest vehicle I have ever owned. Just a slight press of the gas and you're off! It's very comfortable except I wish it had more lumbar support. It's a compact vehicle but both my adult sons for comfortably in the back seat. It also had a lot more room than it soars to have. I have used it to carry all my grounds keeping tools with me; two leaf blowers, 3 rakes, 2 scoop shovels, a bucket of hand tools, my too bad and all my irrigation equipment. It's reliable and durable. I've had no issues in the 2 years I've owned it.
Story
Everyday zipping around my home town with the sunroof open is always fun. But this summer driving to the northern California coast from my hometown of Shasta Lake, CA, was the most fun I've had driving since I bought the vehicle. Lots of tight curves and perfect weather to keep the sunroof open.
Pros
Quick acceleration. Lots of room.
Cons
No lumbar support.

Great customer service. From the sales person to the finance manager. All were very helpful and courteous. They also had very nice facility and great amenities. Had nice TVs while you waiting, also offered free snacks.
2010 Kia Soul - Rally Kia Palmdale
I always hate the car buying experience, but Rally Kia made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The put my needs first rather than making a sale.
