Fantastic Hybrid Car
by Kit and Me on 9/9/2025 4:50:00 PM
As an owner of the LX edition this car has been so impressive and has blown my mind since I bought it. To start this car gets 43mpg in city and on highway, it takes 2 weeks before I have to refuel from the half way mark. I can get 620 miles.The build quality is outstanding I have not had any trouble with the hybrid engine, air conditioner, 0 fluid leaks, 0 electrical problems, sound system is top notch there has not been any reason to dislike nor want to get rid of this car and I’ve had it for 8 years. - 5.0
Solid pre owned car!
by Pearl Cloud on 3/14/2025 5:29:36 AM
Bought about 18 months ago for 10.5k w/98k miles Base model great condition (very minor dings, paint in good shape, interior nice, tires have 30k +left ) has so many options! In price range of 10k, most used cars had more miles, ugly styling smaller/cramped /uncomfortable, cost more compared to the Kia Optima 2013 I found. Recalls already taken care of. Handles well, very comfortable and roomy inside, rated top for safety, lots of room in the trunk, drives great, just absolutely love this car!!! Feels like a steal compared to what else is out there in this price range. Lots of compliments on this one. - 5.0
Love this car
by Coastal cruiser on 3/13/2025 7:58:34 PM
Happy with purchase of my used Kia Optima LX. Nice styling, paint is in good shape, good gas mileage, Bluetooth, spacious truck, very comfortable seats, back seat passengers will be comfortable. Faster than expected when need to accelerate. Nice handling on curves. Design of car does not look dated and boxy as did other cars in similar price range. Better value than many other used cars. Lots of great reviews. Has some recalls, but those were fixed so no problem. Rated really well for safety! That’s important with so many big trucks suvs etc on the roads.
