2006 Kia Optima consumer reviews

It runs and rides good, the turn signal switch has a loose connection and shuts off dash lights/headlights/running lights at night but it is an easy fix. Comfortable vehicle to drive and an easy riding experience.

it is a good car. i loved the fact that it had the power when needed. It drives nice and smooth. Great car for a family. Fit my family of five and I have 2 boys that are over six feet tall. Plenty of room and if you were driving a long distance there was plenty of room.

Well so far it's been good never let's me down the only trouble is at low speeds a scraping sound and the brakes shoe are not that old I did the front brakes and rotated the tires don't know what it is kia said it was trans but they were wrong had amco looked at the trans said good any one help me

This car was very reasonable.loved it and would drive any Kia car again would never change.if I could ever afford one.right now I'm on a very low income.

This car is a beast . I bought it around 100,000 miles put about 30 k on there since June never let me down , i hit 120 almost everyday and most I’ve went was 135 car is very nice and reliable expect starts to slide at high speeds because of light weight . Currently the car is sitting because I need to change a couple things because I jumped the curb drifting during the rain around 40.

Car gets great gas mileage and has a comfortable interior. It drives and handles well around town or on the highway. It is an excellent car for commuting.

My Kia had 10,000 miles when I bought it. Loved it, but had to replace headlight bulbs frequently and had them changed wherever. Then took it in to my Kia dealership. They lubricated the bulb sockets and ended the problem. Still get good mileage on the road, not so much in town. Three years ago, at 50,000 miles, my compressor blew out and I can't afford $1400 to get it fixed. Just have to suffer during the summer.

I've had 2 Ford Taurus, a dodge Dakota, and a GMC Yukon. They've all been great cars. But this is the best gas mileage car that I've had. It's a great car! Reliable!!

This car has the best performance as of speed and comfort and as of being 6 cylinder gas mileage is 30 Miles per gallon When driving up to Hill you never feel that you are in a KIA you can simply pass any car you want I do not want to say speeding is good but sometimes lt needed

So dependable! It was a 5 speed and on a long trip averaged about 33-35 mpg! It had over 200,000 miles and I could always count on it! Definitely the best car I ever owned!
