2009 Kia Optima LX Sedan 4D Standard Features
2009 Kia Optima
KBB.com Review
You'll Like This Car If...
If you’re looking for a four-door sedan with responsive driving characteristics, a lot of features and an attractive price, the 2009 Kia Optima should be on your shopping list. It’s handsome, offers impressive safety features and represents a good value for the money.
You May Not Like This Car If...
If you absolutely crave attention, the Optima’s new exterior, which some may describe as subtle, still may not grab your eyes – or anyone else’s. And, despite generous interior volume for the category, this midsize package won’t be big enough for larger families.
