Pros
Fuel Economy
Exceeds the gaudy sticker estimate
Cost to Maintain
Very few issues with my last Kia, and only one minor issue so far with this one, which was covered by warranty
Interior Space
Very comfortable for four passengers, and can reasonably accommodate five
Cons
Pros
Fuel Economy
40mpg what's not to like?
Interior Space
Roomy and comfortable
Styling
Sleek looks expensive but isn't
Cons
Power
It's a hybrid so it takes a second to decide to go. Then it rivals its gas powered equal.
Cargo Space
Hybrid battery limits truck space and no folding rear seats
Braking
Very touchy- you get used to it
Pros
Cabin Noise
Quiet
Safety
Easy to handle
Seat Comfort
A/c seats are a huge plus

Pros
Fuel Economy
It's a gas saver!!!
Ride and Handling
It steers easy and glides as I drive.
Reliability
Haven't had any problems with it.
Cons
Cargo Space
Due to the Hybrid battery, trunk space is smaller than most.
Technology and Entertainment
Would like the satellite radio to give me more info
Visibility
The seats are bucket style so they sit pretty low. Not good when you're short in height.
Pros
Power
Way more power than I thought a hybrid would have.
Ride and Handling
It can definitely handle all the curves and hills in the canyon I drive daily.
Seat Comfort
I love road trips in this car. It's really comfortable.
Cons
Fuel Economy
I wish it had slightly better fuel economy. It's good, but I thought a hybrid would get more than 35mpg regularly.
Visibility
It has some unique blind spots that take time getting used to.
Pros
Braking
Dashboard
Ride and Handling
Cons

Pros
Styling
Design of car and interior
Cons
Fuel Economy
Supposed to be 40mpg city /45mpg highway. Hasn't gotten better than 30mpg either on ECON mode
Power
Feels more like 130hp, not almost 200hp
Reliability
Second Kia Optima Hybrid to fail on me in 90 days.
