Kia Optima Review Summary
"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."
"There's nothing cheap or flimsy to be seen in the Optima. Tasteful titanium-hued accent plates lock together with the rest of the interior trim with aircraft accuracy, most of the seams carefully lap-jointed to hide fissures. All drawers and hand grips slide with spring-damped motion. It's a soft-touch, low-gloss, fine-grained home run."
What reviewers liked least about the Kia Optima:
"Spongy suspension, styling has high yawn factor. "
