2004 Kia Optima LX review from North America
"A great vehicle for the low price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet!
General comments?
I am extremely satisfied with my KIA Optima. I have used it to travel from Louisville, KY to Boston, MA and back 3 times, which is a little under 1000 miles each way. I have not had any problems with it on these trips and the only times is has been back to the dealer has been for regular maintenance (e.g.-oil changes).
The car handles very well on both smooth and rough roads.
Brakes respond quickly.
