Most reliable vehicle around!
It is so reliable! We haven't really had any problems with our vehicle at all. Even in the -30 degree winters we have up here, it still starts and runs like a dream. It is compact on the outside, but the inside is surprisingly roomy and fits both me and my husband comfortably, though we are both about 6 feet tall. The only reason I would trade this vehicle in is to get something with 4 wheel drive and more seating.
accountCircle Erin B
Great car, sport engine has great pick up speed for moving around fast.
The sport engine is really fast. The 0-x mph is very quick. Sleek body. Large trunk space, back seats fold down. Sunroof is nice in the summer, wide interior space and back seats are heated! Features are easy enough to understand, no back wiper is the only downside of the vehicle.
accountCircle Justen R
Perfect car for beginner drivers.
The car is great on gas. That is probably my favorite thing about it. It is a great car for quick road trips. Secondly, it is really spacious and comfortable. I like a car that is not too over the top in presentation, but still looks really nice. It is an overall solid car.
accountCircle Lisa K
Very good and very nice looking car for the price.
It burns a lot of oil. It rides well. It is comfortable and has a huge trunk. Bluetooth is hard to hear when going down the interstate. I haven't had any issue. One issue is if the battery dies there is no way to unlock your car except the trunk. My car has a spare tire but not all Kias do.
accountCircle Desi L
Great gas saver. I have had this car since 2017 and has not giving me any issues.
My 2017 Kia optima is amazing, has a lot of awesome features, such as the psi on tires, and you also have the ability to set up on how you want to see many miles you are going digitally instead of watching the odometer itself. Not to mention its good gas saver.
accountCircle Sydney E
Best car ever with the most features.
My car has so many great features and is great on gas! The performance is amazing and it drives super smooth. I love the sunroof, heated seats and steering wheel, leather seats and built in shades in the backseat. It is a great price for how many features the car has!
accountCircle Lyric S
The drive mode is a nice touch and the interior looks pretty nice.
The Kia optima is affordable, looks pretty nice, big interior, sleek design, it picks up speed pretty fast and is great on gas. My only complaint is that it is pretty wide for how short it is. So it takes some getting use to. You feel pretty low to the ground but overall a pretty decent car and I would purchase another Kia in the future.
accountCircle Moesha L
An interesting detail about my car is that it has two sunroofs.
I love my car! It drives so smooth, it is great on gas, I love the two sunroofs that it has. It also has an automatic brake feature. It is push to start, great on miles and can go into sport mode. Kia is a great car to have and drive. You will not be disappointed. I rate a Kia car an 9.

Overall very happy with my 2017Malibu. Great mileage, acceleration, leather interior, Bose surround sound stereo, all the trim I could want and more. Disappointed the black trim on doors is lifting and will eventually peel away. Very unhappy about the Shift to Park issue. Replaced the part in July 2020 and again July 2021 for a total cost of $1200. This is a safety issue if the car won't park. RECALL THIS ISSUE CHEVROLET. Chevrolet is aware of the problem as they have issued a notification to the dealerships.

Shift to park alert comes on even when it's already in park.I have been researching the problem and it seems to be very common. If the alert doesn't shut off, it will drain the battery 🙄 There needs to be a recall on this situation!

Car itself is decent but overall it has many problems. The transmission growling, shifts hard at times, high rpms before shifting, motor vibrates, blow by coming from motor, remote key fob half the time detects, auto stop is a bad cause, it shuts off & restarts causing things to wear out faster inside motor, inside rear interior headliner constantly wet leaking from somewhere in back, dash & radio blacks out while going down the road, vibrates going down the road, decent mpg, mostly comfortable under (6’ 2”), Chevrolet just should of just took more time engineering the car mechanically before putting it out.

Chevy Malibu 2017 my opinion.
I really do not have no issue with my car I been having it for about 6 months now is well take care of. What I love about this vehicle is that when your driving it feels so smooth you kind of do not feel the road. I love how it touch screen and you can control everything from the steering wheel and easy to connect to Bluetooth and also comes with free Wi-Fi. I love everything it comes with it.
accountCircle Haley S
There is a sun roof in ours and that is super nice.
I really like how it is remote start, no key. The back up camera is really nice when in a tight spot and cannot see everything around you. The backseat fits 2 car seats and a booster seat amazingly. The kids are still about to move a bit. Everything about it says that it is a family car. We love it!

Car problems on a 2017 Chevy Malibu.
My car and me have a love hate relationship, the problems my car have are not very big and or important just annoying because no one wants car problems lol. I had to replace the battery to my car along with the alternator, the battery in my key fob dies often.

2017 Chevy Malibu performance.
I have had a few issues with this car already and I have only had it for about a month! I overall love most of the features and the vehicle performance but I have noticed there are some technological glitches. I have had my electric speedometer stop working once, as well as my radio/aux would not work for a day. Both issues have resolved themselves after sitting off for a night.
accountCircle jack V
Great vehicle. Daughter got the same year and make and loves it also.
Ride very smoothly and at 64,000 miles have had very problems with the car... The automatic stop feature was hard to get used to..Gas mileage has been great and features like hands off texting and calling is great..Seats are comfortable and very few blind spots to contend with... Rear camera is excellent in this car and plenty of space for my family..With pull down back seats extending into large trunk a plus.

2017 kia optima, overall great family vehicle.
Driving, wheel axle issue. Other than that has been great. Has taken us across the country and back, very reliable throughout the trip and over the last three years. Overall, I feel the main problem is that everything started going out at the same time, the battery, tires, brakes, all in the same month have gone out. This is around the time wheel started jumping.
accountCircle Ben R
I love all the bells and whistles. So comfortable and lots of room.
Great car. Have owned and operated it for 2 1/2 years. There have been no factory recalls nor repairs required other than routine maintenance. Only minor issue is a slight sticking of steering from middle position which may be cold weather related. However this is very subtle and not a problem or concern. Great value for the purchase price. Pros. Very reliable, comfortable, dependable SUV. Ideal size, towing ability for my needs. I like 7 seating capacity and v6 engine. Decent highway mpg. Cons. Small third row seat.

Unhappy Malibu owner.
Few months ago had to have work done on back tire. Would not pass inspection so it had to be repaired.Had 10000 miles. Now few months later having trouble with remotes. Car wouldn’t lock. Then wouldn’t start. Then was ok for day. Again wouldn’t start and lock.Totally unhappy with this vehicle. I don’t believe back tire problem was due to potholes. Malibu at least this 2017 Was not a good car. Don’t know about my future with Buying another one.
accountCircle Taylor S
Spend less than 50 bucks a month on gas!
I had an issue with an improperly installed brake pad that cause my traction control and cruise control sensors to malfunction. Other than that easy fix my car has been wonderful. Love the gas mileage, I am averaging 27-28 miles per gallon! Occasionally the apple pairing does not work on my touch screen but this is not a large concern for me.
accountCircle Genesi T
Bluetooth and CarPlay but haven’t been able to use CarPlay with an androids.
Needs more maintenance than older vehicles. Due to not having a gas cap the check engine came off because the plastic ring in the hole where you put gas fell off and showed an emissions problem. It fills up with less money which is good but also goes through gas quickly when used as daily driver.
accountCircle Brian
Gas tank issues
I’ve had this car 4months now and since the day I drove it off the lot, the gas gauge needle goes down so fast. I’ve had it go down 1/8th of a tank only driving 5 miles. Brought to dealer many times and they tell me time and time again there’s nothing wrong with it. Going down 1/8th of a tank in 5 miles is not normal. From yellow light, I can only put 8 gallons in the tank before the tank cuts off. I never get more than 220 miles of range on a full tank.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2017 Kia Optima

likeFilled Dillon W.

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.

dislikeFilled Dillon W.

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.

likeFilled Jenna K.

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.

dislikeFilled Jenna K.

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.

likeFilled Jeff K.

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.

dislikeFilled Jeff K.

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.

likeFilled Adrianne C.

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.

dislikeFilled Adrianne C.

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.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2017 Chevrolet Malibu

likeFilled Julie D.

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.

dislikeFilled Julie D.

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'.

likeFilled Andrew H.

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.

dislikeFilled Andrew H.

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.

likeFilled Isaiah C.

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.

dislikeFilled Isaiah C.

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.

likeFilled Makenzie B.

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.

dislikeFilled Makenzie B.

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.
