2001 Kia Optima LX review from North America
"Got my moneys worth, Thank you KIA"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not A single thing!
General comments?
This is a well crafted automobile.
The American consumer will benefit from this middle weight, economical car.
Far better than my Nissan, or my wife's Mitsubishi Diamante. This has both luxury features on a working class price tag. Highly recommend this auto to anyone who knows what true value is anymore.
