2004 Kia Optima LX review from North America
"This car is great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had nothing major go wrong with the car that was not my own fault.
General comments?
At first many people think when they see a KIA it is bad, but then they got into my car and it totally changed their mind.
The car has some nice pick-up.
The interior is very roomy and the seats are comfortable.
The 16 inch wheels add some style to this flashy car.
This car can beat the price, option for option, of a Honda or Toyota.
The only down side to the car is that there is a limited amount of performance parts available.
