2001 Kia Optima Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I really love how smooth driving is with this car, it makes running errands and getting to school and work on time easy! It is always an easy start up and with the simple yet sleek interior, it is easy finding all the functions you need. I can start my car up early in the morning on a freezing day, and it will be warm and defrosted within 10 minutes or less! Even though this car may appear small, which is perfect for a short lady such as myself, I can still fit 3-4 friends comfortable in the seats! This is great for outgoings and family/friends. I believe this car will last me years to come.

It overheats but it has been a great running and reliable very comfortable and sits five comfortably good on gas has good power on the highway.

Bought as my retirement car. Love it and it has served me well. Because of age, several repairs, yet has not broke my bank. Plus Kia has the best warranty. I recommend this car maker. I would buy another one when I win the lottery. I am the church lady these days. Do not drive as much as in the past. Again, I highly recommend Kia.

My car is very smooth driving. It has a sunroof. It's very cheap on gas. It has a Huge trunk space. I fit my family in comfortably. The radio is great and can be adjusted to different speakers in the car easily. The air conditioner is amazing it is the coldest air I have felt in a car!

It's a used car. That I've owned for 2 years

I like that it's paid for. Even though it's older, it still runs well and has under 77,000 miles. It's also excellent on gas mileage. It has a tape player and a CD player. The only thing I dislike about it is the previous owners left it out in the desert sun and some of the paint has flaked off the handles. But that's just cosmetic and besides that, I have no complaints. I love this car.

Love the sunroof and mileage. Did have to do entire timing system and just did exhaust to catalytic. Only thing I hate is 1 ring bad and burning oil slowly. It only smokes because of this while idling for too long or when I hit any highway. But only smokes on highway for say a 1/4 mile.

I like my car, even though it is 17 yrs old, the look of it is still current. It does not have all the new features, but I don't really need them. It drives smooth, gas mileage is OK, but now that it is old, I fear the expense of repairs.
