2004 Kia Optima LX review from North America
"The Power to Surprise indeed!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, only routine maintenance (spark plugs, oil changes, etc.)
General comments?
(This is an update on a previous review I did shortly after I purchased the car). I have had the car for a year now and I love it! It has been VERY reliable and it has gone very well in the small amount of snow we've had this winter. Since my last car was a 1994 Buick Century (which I also loved) my KIA seems to handle very well and is quick. I will definitely look at another KIA when I think about buying a new car several years from now.
