The Kia Optima EX is very luxurious. It has more bells and whistles than I even need, for a very affordable price. It's also very stylish and looks sporty, but spacious enough if you have a family.
I bought my wife a KIA back in Feb of this year . 28 days later she was hit head on by another driver. The KIA took all the impact of the hit and wife walked away with just whiplash... I also know God had a help in this but the KIA is a great car to take the impact that it did was amazing . Thanks
