Kia Optima (2012 - 2016)
3 1.7 CRDi Auto 4dr Saloon
Superb looking car, a real head turner.
I have now owned this car for 18 months and still it's great to drive. Don't be put off by the 1.7 Diesel engine, it's extremely responsive and for an auto with paddle shift i get on average 47mpg. I have never had so many strangers come up to me enquiring what it is, when I say a "KIA" they are shocked. It's packed full of goodies, it even reverse parallel parks itself! Since I paid for a £60 upgrade the Sat NAV now takes full post code search and is pretty accurate and rivals the best on the market.
My only criticism is the 18" alloy wheels (which look amazing) make the ride particularly firm and you feel every bump in the road. That said it holds the road brilliantly, it corners like its on rails! If you are looking for a new car I would definitely recommend that you take one for a test drive. Kia also offer a 5 year service plan for £500, great value. Paul...
