Overview & Reviews

For 2005, the Optima wears clear turn signal lenses up front, the sunroof on the EX gains a one-touch opening feature and the optional leather seats get new stitching.

• Low price, pleasant highway ride, refined V6, lots of storage space, excellent warranty.

  So far so good... - 2005 Kia Optima
  By Dave - November 13 - 10:56 am

  Ride is comfortable but handling seems a little soft (bumps & curves). Has lots of bells and whistles for the money which is nice. I recommend V6- even though its smallish, car accelerates and passes fine. Interior is nice but can see its nothing spectacular. Leather is nicer than the cloth but again not the softest Ive seen in a middie. Seems good for money though-time will tell. A guy at dealer was buying his second. Said he loved em. Cons: Annoying rattle in back right door; Need to get keyless reprog.; Entering and exiting can take practice-it sits a bit too low- especially the back seat. Hit my head first couple times and am 58. Cool & kind of noisy around sunroof with shade open.

  Great looks, quality workmanship, price a deciding factor, average gas mileage, most options included in price.
