Pros: solid feel of the vehicle, radio, brakes, reliability
Cons: rather have 30+MPG versus 25MPG. Cruise button shouldn't be so out of the way
Summary: The car has over 68,000 miles and still going strong. The only problem I have seen with it was replacing several bulbs in the past month or so. I don't know if the lights on the radio is a major issue, but the light for the preset 1 and 2 is out, but can ... read more

Pros: Overall exterior, fuel economy (4 cylinder), some nice touches.
Cons: Ride, handling, overall interior, 4 cylinder engine, engine noise.
Summary: When I went to go rent a car, the car rental company had their cars all lined up and ready to go. Out of a crowd of Grand Am's (tired of those), Buick's (I'm not old), and Altima's (I'm not Asian), a saw this brilliant blue Kia Optima. It looked so ... read more

Pros: Awesome value.
Lots of goodies.
Cons: Subpar stereo (so-so quality).
Summary: Man, I love my new 2004 Optima. This is my third Kia. Traded in my 1999 Sephia for this car. Also own a 2003 Spectra. I've been buying Kias because I'm frugal and always looking for a good value. Never had a problem with any of them. But it is ... read more

Pros: Great Style!Comforts!Affordable!Blazing Hot Hi-Beams! Ouch! Hot! Nice 6 speaker sound AM/FM/CD.
Cons: Everything works, well. I miss my Spectra upholstered center console arm rest. This one's plastic.
Summary: As I mentioned in my last 2002 Kia Spectra review, I traded that car for the above vehicle and have about 5000 miles on the odometer thus far. My first impression: A++! Extremely positive. This vehicle is a step up in size for me(to mid-size) and ... read more

Pros: Comfortable ride, smooth and quite on the highways, decent gas mileage
Cons: rough engine, didn't trust the engine to go much longer without major repairs
Summary: I bought this car used, hoping to get good gas mileage and not have to worry about it( because of the warranty). However whenever I got to 60000 miles(when the warranty ended) I had the ignition coil go out on back to back to back weeks. After that I

Pros: Everything in and outside of this car is a PRO. I LOVE IT!
Cons: I have NO cons about this car. It's the perfect car.
Summary: I just bought a used 2004 Kia Optima LX V6 4 dr sedan with 16" alloy wheels, lumbar support, front and side airbags, heated mirrors. It had 46,000 miles on it when I bought it from Enterprise car rentals. I love the look, style and presence of this car.

Pros: Looks, comfort level, A/C and tilt.
Cons: So-so fuel economy.
Summary: Got my Kia Optima used with 14,500 miles on it. Suspect it was a rental. Several minor dings, but nothing major. Got the V6 and while it moves, it doesn't seem overly powerful for a 6. Fuel economy is so-so. Rides nice, but can still feel bumps.

Cons: Keyless entry would be great
Summary: A just purchased a 2004 Silver Kia Optima V6 (same mechanics as Hyundai Sonata) and I love this car! Besides its good looks, this well made Korean automobile has plenty of power (2.7 170 HP-zooms to high interstate speeds in a hurry), nifty 'Tiptronic"

Summary: I have had my new 2004 Kia Optima EX for 2 weeks now, and I'm still lovin' it. We came across this car while shopping for a 2nd vehicle to use as an alternative to driving our minivan. The options that I like, are the alloy rims, Infinity

Pros: Value for the price
Cons: Interior drivers overhead door handle, Cup holder cover
Summary: I bought 2002 Kia Rio for 6K a couple years ago to put commuter miles on. After 22K miles I traded up to the 2004 Optima cause Kia was offering great deals. I bought the 5 speed stick (my preference) with all the major options, CD, A/C, Cruise, Tilt,
