2013 Kia Optima Review
By KBB.com Editorial StaffIf 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
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
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

"A couple months ago, I purchased the 2013 Kia Optima SXL (Ebony Black). What a beauty. Best looking and performing car on the road, period!!! A head turner, and I have had so many compliments and stares. The 274 HP (269 lb-ft torgue) turbo is incredible and gives a whale of a punch. Once you drive the turbo, it is impossible to be satisfied with the normal aspirated 200 HP engine. So be careful. I enjoy driving this car whenever I can. I have never felt this way about a machine. Kia has raised the bar big time and I appreciate that. The cost is up there for Kia, but it has so much value compared to the big boys asking thousands more. This car is a winner and will be for some time to come. I am a proud owner. If you want to see a cool video about the Optima, go to YouTube and search on 'The Birth of an Optima'. A show done by the Discovery Channel. Loved it and my car even more."

"i owned a 2008 mitsu lancer gts before this one and it's night and day between the two. bought this one in july 2012 and you can see i dont drive a lot. i narrowed down to two cars this one and the nissan maxima. bought this because you get better bang for your buck."
