Love it!

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: Definate Buy, best car in its class for the cost. Nothing else really compares.
Review: I can't say enough about this car. I have the 2003 LX automatic, 4 cyl. Very peppy for a 4 cyl. Best value out there! Just about everything is standard and it gets great gas mileage. The new grill gives it a great look (two people said they thought...

Keeping my Kia

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2003
Review: We bought our 2003 Kia Optima as a second car and it has really become my first choice when pulling out of the driveway. Bottom line is I enjoy the way that it rides, handles and love the extras for such an affordable price. I wish I had only gotten...

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2005
Review: I've finally found a car I really love. It looks classy and feels classy but didn't cost me the bucks my taste buds tend to like...I looked at Toyotas, Hondas, and Hyundais but spotted this one in the dealer lot. I got it used with under 12,000...
