2015 Kia Optima Review

Monday, July 6, 2015 by Lolli 5 Comments

 

Kia sent me 2015 Optima SX to review for a week. Just one week….although I would have loved to have kept it longer. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Stock photos of the Kia Optima are courtesy of Kia.

2015 Kia Optima Review

The more cars I drive, the more I feel like I notice about each of the cars – all of those little details that set a car apart from other cars in its class. It has been interesting to watch my kids become more and more aware of what makes a car desirable – and I know that their experience will serve them well once they are buying cars of their own.

2015 Kia Optima

After spending a week driving the 2015 Kia Optima, I came to the conclusion that the Optima is a sedan that I would not hesitate to buy. It was a pleasure to drive, the features and functions were easy to understand and operate, and the value was excellent. Granted, at this stage of our family’s life, we still need a family car that has at least 6 seats, and the Optima seats 5….but soon we won’t be needing quite as many seats.

The Optima may be a mid-sized sedan, but the interior and trunk feel spacious. No one ever complained about leg room in the Optima (even my tall 14-year-old son), and there was more than enough space in the trunk for all of our groceries and gear.

During the week that I had the Optima, I posted a few snapshots on Instagram and Facebook, and I was surprised when local friends came up to the car to give it a closer look when I was out and about. Apparently, the pictures peaked their interest. One person commented upon seeing the Optima in person, “Wow, that IS a sharp car!”

There really wasn’t anything about the 2015 Optima that I didn’t like. That’s not to say that it was my favorite car ever…but there wasn’t anything about the Optima that turned me away. I don’t hesitate at all in recommending the Optima as a fantastic sedan to consider.

    Nice car, it looks so comfortable. We have Kia Sorento that we love. I like the double sun roof, I have never seen that option in a car before.

    This is a beautiful looking car! The double sun roof is pretty cool. From the pics it does look pretty spacious.

    My sister has a Kia Optima, and I have ridden in it, and it is a very luxurious car. It rides very smooth, and is so comfortable and has plenty of trunk room. The inside looks so pretty! I would love to own one of these amazing cars.
