Awesome Car

We purchased this car in April,2010 with just over 30,000 miles on it. It's the EX V6 model. We absolutely LOVE it! We previously owned several Nissan's. This car was much less expensive and we are just as happy!

Its a Great Car!

We bought our Optima new and we have not regretted buying it. I highly recommend this car to anyone looking for room , comfort, and affordability. I had reservations about KIA's and I don't know why because I'm totally sold on the KIA Optima now!

I Love the 2007 Optima!

I've had my car for about 3 months and I love my new baby! I have the V6 engine & it has some kick to it & it rides so smooth. I had the 2004 Optima before this one & that was a great car also, I had it for 3.5 years and I had no problems with it... They have really improved over the years and I am so impressed at how fare they've become, the Optima are much more upscale from when they first came out, a lot of people can't believe it's a Kia I'm driving.... I lot of people underestimate Kia but don't I tell ya, they are becoming one of the best cars to have and at a great price!!!

2007 optima - great car

I have one year with my Kia Optima- 16k miles mpg- 26-32(hwy). Good performance and better interior & quality than higher priced cars. No problems at this time except a bushing replaced on the frontend. I have heard that you must be very diligent in maint so I follow all of the dealer & Kia guidelines and reccomendations, which is a little pricey if you don't have a service special that covers it. Overall a great affordable car

The Highest Quality Car Ive ever been in.

I have spent my etire life working in the defense and and space industries. Including the B52 bomber and the NASA Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. I know quality when I see it. The Kia Optima has it. Materials and workmanship are first class, and form, fit and function are near perfect.

My third kia

I love this car! Gave my 2004 Sorento to my daughter, and driving the ex fully loaded optima. I get great compliments on this car. Most people are amazed that it's a kia. They are very impressed that it looks so classy and sporty. Kia is up there with the big guns, just without the big price tags.

third kia owned

I own a 2004 kia sorento, I have had the 2006 spectra. I now have the 2007 kia optima v6 ex edition, fully loaded, leather package, convience package. spoiler abs, stabilty control. Did I mention that I love this car!!. Gave the sorento to my daughter. Best money can buy, without the high dollar. I have never had any problems with any of my Kias. Kia vehicles are well made cars, I drove the 2007 camry and Maxima. I saved thousands buying the Optima without giving up all the luxuries.

I am averaging 36 mpg in city/highway traffic

My car is less than one month old. Still in the break in period. BUT the more miles I get on it the gas mileage just continues to improve. I am driving the 4 cylinder automatic with the standard option. According to the trip computer I am now averaging 36 mpg. I am SOO pleased. This is my second KIA Optima. The first was a 2002 standard shift 4 cylinder Optima. I traded it in for the 2007 Optima and I am very pleased thus far. Did I mention KIA is great about standing behind their warranty?

Kia Does It Right

A premium quality built sedan with graceful lines and solid construction. Designed to age gracefully. Handles road imperfections with ease; handling and safety features are first rate. I considered the Toyota Camry, the Nissan Altima, and the Honda Accord. After test driving these other vehicles, I decided on the Optima. I got a lot more for my money and you can't beat the warranty.

Look Out Toyota...

Outstanding value and very affordable. You can't beat the options for the price and I didn't have to mortgage my house to buy one. Kia knows what they're doing and this car is the proof. If you want snob appeal, get a BMW (and get used to visiting their service department, they're always glad to see you).
