"The Optima is a sophisticated car -- right on target for the mid-size class -- and, as a bonus, it carries Kia's killer 10-year/100,000-mile warranty."
"While the V6 won't inspire thrills, it's smooth and quiet, and offers decent acceleration and enough thrust for confident merging on the highway."
