2007 Kia Optima consumer reviews

I have owned my Kia for 1.5 years and it now has 45,000 miles. I purchased the loaded model and I love it! I previously owned a much more expensive car with the same features (except it had heated seats) and spent DOUBLE the money. I have received many compliments on this car, especially regarding the interior. It has also been a very reliable car. We have had absolutely NO problems with it! It has only been to the shop for oil changes. I work in home health and drive within the city as well as many, many highway miles. The ride is very comfortable and all of the features are great. It handles very well even at 70 mph. I was very hesitant to buy a Kia but I simply could not beat the value. This car has definately won me over! I also feel that I must state all cons (but these are minor). First, it is a little noisy on the highway-no problem in town. Second, there is a small wear spot on the steering wheel. Third, I have problems with the brakes locking up with quick braking (my husband says this is MY problem). Overall-great car, CANNOT beat the value, buy it.

After much researching and looking at used vehicles, I came upon the new 2006.5 Optima. What a wonderful car for the money$ Nice features, 25-29mpg (auto:4cyl.), awesome cd, interior cabin, 100k warranty and as my son says this car is "sic". I have driven about 3k miles and I truly can say that this is a great buy if you need a new vehicle
