2004 Kia Optima LX review from North America
"Very Reliable car, under rated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None
General comments?
I haven't had any problems with my kia optima. I love that car, it could use more horsepower. This car is definitely more reliable than my 1999 accord which I had multiple replacements for the tranmission. A tree fell on top of my kia and after repairs it looks and drive like new. I recommend to reconsider getting this car despite kias previous history.
