2004 Kia Optima ex review from North America
"Looks good coming and going, real eye catcher"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am working with the dealership on a power steering leak. It lost about a half pint in 700 miles and we cannot tell where it is coming from.
General comments?
This car has it all from leather to climate control. No serious problems yet and love to drive it.
Priced under 20K and is very quite and roomy enough for 4 on any long trip.
Infinity stereo is a good sound package.
