2013 Kia OptimaWilliam Carroll - Hampton, VA08/20/2015
Parked next to my daughter-in-law's jaguar, I have to say the looks of my Optima are much better.
I've gotten up to 43 mpg on the highway and the handling of the car has saved my life at least once. Running 70 mph on a dark highway, I had a deer jump out in front of me.
I jerked the wheel to the left and the car lurched smoothly in that direction. Heading to the left guard rail I snatched it will back to the right, the car reacted instantly. Shifting the wheel back to the right lane the car responded smoothly and quickly. This is the most impressive car I've ever driven.
At last, a car that feels as if made just for me
2015 Kia SorentoRoberta Urbanik - Sacramento, CA08/10/2015
It's outstanding safety rating, relative affordability, decent fuel mileage, comfort, super responsive to brake & gas pedal, very quiet inside cabin, excellent visibility from all angles of what seems almost like wrap around windiws, full range of adjustable driver's seat--especially being able to raise it, which greatly improves what I can view/assessment of road conditions, and the rear camera when maneuvering vehicle in reverse.
The option I don't fully regret
2007 Kia RioZachary Schumann - Kansas City, MO03/10/2017
I got this car at 80k miles so right off the bat I can't complain about a few things. I didn't get it new so I couldn't maintain it from the start so I don't know how it was handled before I owned it. It is a decent car for the price that will get you where you need to go. It is a bare bones model with basically no features. That being said, it has decent gas mileage being a light 4 cylinder. Repairs are super easy because the engine is very accessible. You MUST replace the timing belt on this car before you drive it away used or EVERY 60k miles or you'll have problems. Also, be gentle with her because these cars are not built tough at all. The engine will run reliably but the car is almost too underpowered. It's just value.
