2003 Kia Optima SE review from North America
"Very impressive, solid car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's early, but nothing yet.
General comments?
Car gets great gas mileage and is a good travel car. The engine vibrates, but nothing to be done about that.

  | Great car... that is if you don't ever plan on trading it in on another!!! |
| If an Accord or Camry is a 10, An Optima is at least an 8. Regardless of price |
| Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? | Yes |
