CONS: Car jumps when excellarated, doesnt get good gas like they said, rough ride!

REVIEW: I love the look of this car as they have made a great opal white color white with silver handles, it has all the bells and whistles, but I didnt know I thought the first time ever buying a 4 cyl, that it get worse gas than my usual grand marquis mercury, I has a very dangerous feature that happens ...

CONS: not much rear leg room

REVIEW: Bought this car for my daughter with 57000 miles on it and have watched her put 23000 more on it in 2 years for only the cost of tires and brakes. I drive it sometimes myself and find the ride comfortable and easy to control. ...

CONS: Noisy on rough roads, dash lights illuminate whenever the key is turned on/leads to minor confusion

REVIEW: Are you kidding? This is by far the best car I have ever owned. I got on the Kia band wagon in 2001 with a new Rio. Remember those weird green ones? I special ordered it thinking it was yellow. Ooops! I took delivery anyway. It ran so good I bought another one four months later for my ...

CONS: No cons at this time.

REVIEW: The 2.4 engine (175 hp) really has some serious power. I did put a cold air flow and K and N filter on it. The gas mileage rose by the trip computer 6 miles. The power increase is noticable. This is my first new car so I was very anal about my choices. It was Optima or the Forte. Both cars are ...

REVIEW: My husband recently surprised me with a new car, the Kia Optima. I love, love, love this car! It's the smoothest vehicle I've ever driven, has a luxury feel to it, the dash is attractive, everything is very well done. I would recommend it to anybody. ...

REVIEW: Well I purchased my 2007 Kia Optima new. It has excellant mileage and is very dependable. I purchased it in Va. I was reassigned to Alaska and I was kind of reluctant about driving, but I drove it from Fort Lee, Va to Fairbanks, Alaska, didn't have a problem and I haven't had a problem ...
