2009 Kia Optima Review
Updates improve this midsize sedan.
"The Kia Optima is solid family sedan transport with comfortable space for four. Its available four-cylinder engine is among the class leaders in output and efficiency, the ride and handling more than capable, and the packaging shows smaller outside doesn't mean smaller inside. It has the best warranty in the segment and, feature for feature it costs significantly less than all of them...." more
2007 Kia Optima Review
All-new solid mid-size sedan at a great price.
"The original Optima made a statement: Kia wants to be a contender. The second-generation 2007 Optima delivers. Its engines are not the most powerful in the competitive mid-size class, but in other important ways, the Optima is every bit as good as any equally equipped, direct competitor. It's as solid, comfortable, quiet, as well built, and as economical. And feature for feature, it costs substantially less than all of them. It's a deal...." more

It's as solid, as comfortable, as quiet, as well built, and as economical. Especially that last one, the major measure: price. What a deal...." more

Highly competent sedan offers good value.

2002 Kia Optima Review
Kia's mid-size car gets more power.
"Kia Optima excels at providing surprisingly good transportation at a reasonable cost, several hundred dollars less on each model this year than less, in fact. Don't expect the name Kia to be the talk around the water cooler, but your monthly payment will be something to talk about, especially in conversations that include the warranty, the roadside assistance plan, and all the standard features...." more
