2007 Kia Optima EX from North America - Comments

"The best car under 25,000 on the road!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At just a few thousand miles timing chain broke. Kia's awesome warranty completely replaced the engine without the slightest problem!

General comments?

Most comfortable leather I have ever owned, SPECTACULAR Infinity Audio system, Moonroof is great, unbelievable power from a 4 cylinder. Fit and finish is superior, exterior styling is beautiful. My '04 Spectra got me past 625,000 miles, lets see if the Optima does the same.

Are you a traveling salesman to put so much mileage on your cars in such short time? Do you know if the broken timing chain is a common problem or a fluke on your particular Optima?

I've never heard of the timing chain breaking on the Optima's 4cyl. I've got 45k miles on mine now with no issues. Must have been a fluke.
