Kia Optima (2012 - 2015) 1.7 CRDi 1 4d Owner Review

Likes: well specced, great value used car, very comfortable seats, soft ride, good looking car, light steering makes it easy to handle despite size, huge interior space - kids love the room in the back (which easily accommodates any size adults, feels very well put together (I’ve only done a 1000 miles so far). Huge boot space, great radio and speakers. Bluetooth works really well. Button to press to make wing mirrors fold in. Lights point around corners at night! Steering wheel controls galore. MPG 41 urban and 55 on motorway. About 47 overall. Accelerates well in gear for pulling onto motorway and over taking. Dislikes: boot opening to back seats narrow meaning bikes tricky to fit in... Slow 0-30. Difficult to rest elbow on right arm on driver door. Not enough in car storage spaces. But be clear - this car is a great alternative to the mainstream choices. I love mine! Crossing my fingers it proves to be reliable!
