I have got a 04 Optima LX 2.4L 4 cylinder. It is an awesome car. I have had it for 8 month and have 5,000 miles on it. No problems at all. One of the two best cars I have ever owned. ( my other best car I have owned is my Sorento)

Congratulations to owning one of the most under-rated cars in recent years. Hence, you will be quite surprised by its magnificence if you previously own another made of the same price.

Only be gentle to the self-learning auto-box. Can be alittle pronounce if you are hard on it or keep changing your acceleration habits.

First timer for KIA owner with a 04 Optima 2.0 Auto would highly recommend you for such a nice car based on its overall performance / price. My initial target is a Hyundai Sonata but KIA 04 Optima be the winner because of its price, CBU, additional of sun-roof..... in fact the Hyundai Sonata & Optima is the same except the body ....

I bought a 2.0 litre Magentis here in the UK about 20 months ago. Extremely happy with it - very comfortable, drives well and not a single problem to date. Kia have under-promised and over-delivered with this car. A rare state of affairs in the motor industry.
