You'll Like This Car If...

If you're looking for a fuel-efficient family sedan that isn't easily lost in a crowded parking lot, the 2013 Kia Optima is it. Combining stunning styling with an affordable price and an unbea

You May Not Like This Car If...

The 2013 Kia Optima's styling may be a bit too over-the-top for some, and its sloping rear roof severely cuts into rear-seat headroom. Also, some of the Optima's interior plastics still look a

How it Drives

After just a short time behind the wheel of the 2013 Kia Optima, we came away impressed, both by the car's driving dynamics and its 2.4-liter 4-cyinder engine. Confident cornering aided by nicely-weighted steering encouraged us to push the Optima sedan hard, and the electronic traction and stability controls always intervened when we pushed a bit too hard. The naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter engine develops an impressive 200 horsepower. This gasoline direct-injection engine is smooth, powerful and able to deliver 35 highway miles on a single

"I bought my Corsa Blue Kia Optima SX in October of 2012. Ever since it has been almost 14,000 miles of uninterrupted bliss. This car is awesome! It loves highway road trips. It eats them up coddling you in heated or cooled seats, listening to the booming Infinity audio system, and soaking in the stars through your huge two pane panoramic moonroof. It easily cruises at 70mph, passing slower traffic with ease, and returning a pretty good 31+ MPG. If you are looking for fun and practical this is your car. In terms of value, this thing has options on it that some Lexus and BMW models at twice the price don't even offer. And, the style knocks it out of the ball park! Everyday I get at least one compliment on it. It really draws eyes even at gas pumps and drive thru's. My friends can't believe that it's actually a KIA!"
