Even as an older car it has been a trooper across many miles and runs very well.

2007 Kia Optima LX

This car was a gift from my grandma that started out with very low mileage but has held up very well on multiple trips between states and mostly recently a cross country trip. While it is still runs well and requires the usual oil changes and maintenance, it has required more than usual due to the age of the car. I spent more than the value of the car on parts and maintenance last year due to seals cracking or breaking and some brake problems. With regular inspections and maybe a little less on the heavy traveling, it should have a few years left.

Loving my Kia optima and why you will too!!

2007 Kia Optima LX

We love this car. So far it runs great and it has been reasonably cheap to fix. The parts for basic routine maintenance have been on the lower end of price range for vehicles this size. This vehicle is great on gas which is important with the high gas prices lately. Especially since I am constantly driving back and forth for work and taking the kids to activities!

Kia Optima a great economy car. You get a lot of bang for your buck

2007 Kia Optima LX

My Kia Optima has served me well I have only encountered a few issues. The driver airbag deployed when it shouldn't have. The trunk has a small water leak that I believe is coming from the tail light. Since it was purchased used this could be a result of poor care by the previous owner. Overall I'm very satisfied with this brand and would definitely buy again
