The Kia Optima was not my first pick. I am used to SUV's, but as a single mom didn't want a minivan or a hole in my pocket. This car is great on gas, for a sedan it has a big trunk and spacious enough for the kids to not kill each other. Back seat has good amount of legroom and car seats fit great.
My only con with the car is I can't fit anybody else if we are going out. The car is fit for the kids and I. If we want to take a road trip we done it in this car and it's amazing in gas, but usually I rent to get the extra comfort for the long drives.
The 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid has an average owner rating of 4.66 out of 5 which ranks it #8 of 27 other Hybrid & Electrics.
