It has Good gas mileage, looks great, runs smoothly. The interior feels good and I enjoy the stereo it comes with. I have Sirius XM radio and I listen to it all the time. I really like the color of it as gray is my favorite car color.
There have been a couple of recalls on the vehicle. I have had a couple of things wrong with the car, my car stopped running at 15k total miles and was out of commission for 5 weeks with a rental car. They initially thought my transmission went out.
This car has a great amount of room for a sedan, the back seat is spacious and there is a very large trunk. The mileage is great, I only fill up once a week with commuting to a job 5 days a week and about 50 miles round trip. It runs very smoothly as well.
The back windshield is not as slanted as it should be so in harder rainstorms it is a bit hard to see out of. The windshield wipers also do not wipe very well, there are often streaks so sometimes it can be hard to see.
The Kia has very reliable tires and a very smooth ride. The Kia optima is also very good on mileage. I have no complaints about the vehicle other then there is not a lot of color choices for the Kia vehicles.
The cons are not many in my Kia optima. If I had to pick one con it would be that there are not many color choices for the Kia vehicles. I guess a second complaint would be that the vehicle may have been slightly overpriced for a reliable but simple vehicle.
Roomy and spacious. Good gas mileage. Sleek and dependable. Affordable. Stylish. Big trunk, lots of features. Nice color. Nice rims. Comfortable seating. Easy to drive. Backup camera nice. Room for kids stuff. Plus groceries.
Windows not tinted. Not heated seats. Nothing to complain about other than that really love our Kia love Kia cars and the company. Customer service is excellent love how helpful everyone is and how they make good dependable affordable cars and SUVs.
Very reliable. Very. Nice dashboard. Easy to find buttons for all functions. Dash screen large enough to read. So you are not fumbling around when driving. This is a great safety feature. Very good gas mileage. Attractive looking interior and exterior.
I am 5'4' so I am not extremely short but when I go to close the door I really have to stretch to reach the door handle. I do not like this at all. I realize that there are many factors that go into the decision on how far a door should open but to me this is a big con. I really feel for anyone under 5'4'.
In my humble opinion, the Malibu offers sleek style while maintaining smooth lines. The car has excellent gas mileage, auto shut off and wonderful satellite GPS. The vehicle also has the ability to self start and excellent pickup.
While driving at low speeds, the vehicle steering wheel shudders. While this does not happen all the time, it does happen occasionally. After calling the dealership, no-one has any idea what the issue is.
The pros are Good leg room from front to back. Also the car is Good on gas with a. Sleek look and design. It has a lot of room in the trunk for groceries. It's safe for kids. It picks up speed quickly and has a good braking system.
The cons for the car is there is no sunroof thats comes with the factory vehicle. The car has a low profile that makes it harder for older people to get out the car that have a problem with their joints.
Great size for a small car. Drives great and smoothly, powerful engine for the size of the car. Plenty of interior space and trunk space, passengers feel like they are in a much larger car. Leather interior is high quality and looks very sharp.
Often times the car does not register that it is in Park. I believe it is some electronic error but am not sure. You shift the gear into park, go to turn of the vehicle and are greeted with an alarm that tells you to Shift to park. Even though you've already done so and have the emergency break in use as well. Takes a few times of turning the car on and off before it registers that it is in fact in park, which is very frustrating. Does not happen all the time, but when it does it tends to continue happening that day.
