    Great car. Just got back from a trip to the coast; handled the road and curves great and averaged 29 miles per gallon. Not bad with all the hills and such. Really enjoy the ride and how quiet it is. Kia is going to give Honda & Toyota a run for their money. Keep it up.

  • Excellent Value - 2005 Kia Optima
    By -

    We just recently purchased this car. We are pleased to receive so much value for a car priced under $20,000. I am a professional and my colleagues like this car every bit as much as their pricier models.

    I purchased my Kia on the 13th of June after i got a letter in the mail from a Kia dealer stating that they were looking for a used 2004 Kia Optimas with less than 40,000 miles on them.I had a 2004 LX 4cyl and thought i could UPGRADE!!!!

  • Under-estimated Jewel - 2005 Kia Optima
    By -

    Ive bought 2005 Kia Optima EX V6 from a private person as a used car in August 28, 2010. Its in excellent condition with low mileage (only 53k miles). Frankly, I didnt expect any excellencies from it before driving, but Ive been changed totally about Kia and Optima. Its a fantastic sedan Ive ever driven. Its Powerful, comfort, quiet, fast, luxurious, roomy, sporty exterior design (better than latest model), etc. Im really enjoying the driving of this jewel.
