The car comes fully loaded with push start and heated and cooled seating.
Have had this car for 4 years and has been wonderful. Runs great, Kia is really helpful when it comes to recalls and things of that nature. Super reliable car gets around in the snow pretty good for being a car. Great size for a car as well, being a six foot 3 man it is hard to find a car that is comfortable in terms of leg room. I found that with this Kia, I also have a newborn baby which has to be in a car seat which also fits great in the back seat. All around a great vehicle and will be upset the day I have to get rid of it.

2011 Kia optima is great!
I love my 2011 Kia optima ex, it is fully loaded with leather seats, XM radio, CD player, aux port, 2 charging ports, Bluetooth. I have had it about a year and I have enjoy every moment I have had it so far. It is great on gas and I have only taken on a 3 hr drive but plan to take it on vacation soon. I haven't had any major issues considered I purchased it used. Just had a clogged ac line. I love that it has tire pressure sensors so I know when I need air. It is a great car and works great for my family of 4.

Kia optima is great and would recommend that car to anyone.
I love the way it drives and how it rides also. Very reliable and Kia takes care of their customers with recalls. The inside seems larger than most for most sedans and I love taking my car for long trips due to the amount of room. I have had a problem with my car burning so much oil but after all of the testing, that didn't cost me a dime, I received a new engine due to the recall. I go to Kia for every service as well.

I love my 2011 Kia optima!
I haven't noticed any issues with this car at all so far! I purchased it from 1 previous owner who took amazing care of it, so it was in basically brand new condition. I have had it for almost 2 years, and it is still running amazing. It accelerates fast (turbo engine) and gets going when you need to. Get great gas mileage on freeways, too. The car looks very nice and sleek, as well. All in all, it is a very practical, nice car.

The vehicle is very dependable. Can drive up mountain roads.
No problems. Drives really well. Car rides are smooth. Gas lasts a decent amount of time. The car was priced at a fair amount. If well taken care of you can resale for the same amount. Car fits well for all passengers and enough truck space for groceries or packing up for a vacation.

Why I love my Kia optima!
I have not had any issues other than regular wear and tear. One thing I do not like is there is a lot of road noise. It has been reliable and have gotten in two accidents, with little damage. I feel like it is a good value. I will be buying another one.

My vehicle is a gloss pearl white. I love the color and shine. Overall a sleek.
I have had better. Suspension is horrible. I like the look, however. I would not purchase this car again if given a choice. Fuel economy is great and stereo system are two of the better things I enjoy about this vehicle. All in all I would give this a 2 or 3 out of 5.

Awesome car, very spacious and sporty looking too!
Has all the bells and whistles, and looks like a sporty car. I live the heard and cooling seats, it is nice to have. The inside is pretty spacious and the back seats are perfect for someone with kids or a dog. There was an oil leaking problem that has gone on for a while but it is minimal.

Giving insight to the cars performance and suspension.
Front wheels are very sensitive to bumps and makes me think something is broken. But other than that, love the car. Windows on both sides are automatic. Love the double sun/moonroof. The steering is very tight and suspension feels sporty. Handles corners awesome and the turbo is a lot of fun.

Kia optima performance quality review.
Great mpg. Great comfort. Terrible paint job problems. It flakes everywhere. Terrible transmission and drivetrain issues.Awesome stereo and leather interior. Great sleek look and design. We have 100 thousand miles on it and it is still riding pretty well so reliable is on the plus side for sure.

Why you should most definitely entertain the idea of buying the 2011 Kia optima.
I have had this vehicle for 6 years. Very sporty. Extremely reliable and provides some ample amount of space for my family. Trunk space is large and accommodating of all my work boxes, carts,etc. Interior offers Bluetooth capabilities, automatic locks for doors/windows, ac/heat. OnStar availability. Tons of driving space for my 6'4 husband. Storage space inside is great. Only con for me is how low the car sits to the ground. It makes parking a hassle occasionally as well as dodging potholes difficult. All in all it is a great reliable vehicle.
accountCircle Danielle B on February 22, 2021
It have a very big back seat so perfect for a car seat if your having a baby
It's a very good vehicle but the parts on it are just way too expensive and they costs me and arm and a leg to buy them! And I would go to a dealership and make sure you test drive for awhile like a day or two to see if You're comfortable in it because if you're looking for comfort it might not be what you're looking for in a luxury car
accountCircle Cameron M on February 20, 2021
A trustworthy sedan with good comfort.
This car is quite a smooth ride, with comfortable leather seats and responsive turning/braking/etc. The halogen bulbs that come stock are somewhat dim, so replacing them with a higher bulb temp (5000-6000k) is beneficial. The engine performs well and reliably, as long as proper maintenance is kept up.

The Kia optima experience.
My car was bought in 2015. It has had a few recalls on it, but I have been able to get them fixed. Overall, it has been reliable. In regards to the interior, it has cloth seats. I have various ways to listen to music, whether it be through aux, USB, or the CD player. I like that the car is spacious. It has 150,000 miles on it. I hope I can continue to keep the vehicle in good shape.

When it comes to my car, I am lovin' it!
The moonroof got stuck open and it took days to close it. Till this day I cannot open it for fear that it will get stuck open again. The lumbar support, temp controlled seats, heated steering wheel, and everything else about the car are amazing. I wish I would have gotten some of the additional upgrades but aside from the moonroof issue, I live my car.
accountCircle Keith S on February 10, 2021
Very good car. Recommend for a first timer.
I bought the vehicle used. The software had not been updated. I read reviews online that there were problems after the update that were not present before. Car is quick. Average 37 mpg on highway and 27 going back and forth to work. Have some overheating issues from time to time, unable to locate the source. You have to have really good tires if you want to not slide around corners. This may be due to the sport suspension. You have to watch speed limit because you will be driving faster than you think.

The dark horse nobody sees coming.
The year was problematic for recalls. However once recalls are fixed the car has been amazing. Great gas mileage, reliable, practical and yet fun to drive and beautiful styling. I will forever own an optima. I love the trim package, leather with mesh is great for summer. It has a huge trunk and I am never wanting for storage.

2011 Kia Optima Review - Great Stereo, Trunk Space, & Gas Mileage!
I love my 2011 Kia Optima. There's been very few issues with it in the 9 years I have owned it. The biggest has been that the A/C doesn't get cold as quickly as it used to. As far as the features, the stereo is great and I love that you can pair multiple devices to the Bluetooth. I have my phone, tablet, computer, and husband's phone all paired so that I can swap between them anytime I need to. My biggest complaint over everything is that there's no A/C vents or power outputs in the back. This paired with the A/C not getting as cold as quick makes for some hot backseat passengers in the summer. If I give my car about ten minutes to cool off at full blast before getting in though it can get very cold. All in all, it is a great car and I recommend it to anyone looking for a nice car with great gas mileage and comfortable cloth seats. And did I mention the trunk is so big I have a bass system in it AND I can still lay down in it?

My 2011 Kia optima ex is the best car I have ever owned. I went from a big SUV to the Kia optima ex and it is amazing on gas mileage and very reliable car.

Wonderful but I have a few requests.
I am truly satisfied with my car. It is very sleek and economically priced. I love the panoramic sunroof but the only thing I would have preferred is if some options were standard like the auto folding side view mirrors, the lighted door frame (when you enter the car), and that it wasn't so cumbersome and costly to update the maps.

It drives fast and looks nice.
Its having some coolant problems and overheats every now and then. The coolant continues to need to be refilled every few days. I believe since the radiator fan isn't working and that's why the car is being cooled off. There's also a coolant leak somewhere in the engine and not sure where its coming from. Generally it runs great, has great gas mileage, drives smooth, and goes really fast, it also looks really nice, and has a good radio system.

Good acceleration, decent mileage, sporty, too many recalls though. Otherwise, I haven't had any issues with. It also has decent trunk space. I will recommend it to anyone looking for a sedan in the future if asked. If I needed another sedan, I would get the AWD version of this model.

Kia isn't putting their customers first. They should replace defective vehicles of permanently fix the problem.
There are a couple of flaws that could have been available when engineering this vehicle. One of the problems that really bother me is the rear view mirror falls off if you barely touch it. Another is the cover on the top of the shifter also repeatedly falls off. Also we have had to take it into the dealership multiple times because of recalls which is inconvenient and also could be a sign of a serious problem.

The severity of repairs is average and the frequency of those issues is low, so major repairs are uncommon for the optima.

The Bluetooth feature is. Installing car seats. Look vehicle is great.
I love the look and features of this vehicle. I like how it tells me how many miles I need to fill up with gas again. I love the Bluetooth feature. I just wish it picked up speed a little faster because when I am trying to enter onto the freeway it kind of takes a while for it to build up to the speed I need it to go. Also I wish that it drove a bit smoother. I can feel every little bump and dip on the road it is not a huge problem but I have had vehicles that ran much more smoother than this one. Other than that the vehicle has been very good to me. It is very spacious and comfortable. I always have a hard time adjusting car seats for my daughter in the car so I loves how it has the clip that I can attach the car seat to in the middle that keeps it from sliding all around the back seat.

A car that is a good for a long time.
Even though my vehicle is 9 years old, it runs like a brand new Kia. It has SiriusXM and Bluetooth, which are awesome features. I am extremely tall and cannot emphasis how much room the car has in it. The truck is so huge, which is nice since I do travel a lot. Speaking of traveling, the gas mileage on my Kia optima is fantastic. I can drive 3 hours to Memphis from my hometown and back and will still have gas left. My Kia does not have a sunroof, which I wish it had, but the other features make up for it. If you like to jam to music like I do, the system in the car sounds wonderful.

I purchase my car from car mart! I had my car for about 5 months and it is used but I haven't had any issues for far except for a sensor in my tires! It is the best car so far I have had! I even got low payment for 2 years! Also my grandmother has a Kia Sedona and she loves it! She haven't had any problems.

It's a great car for the money. It won't set you back very much.
Overall, I think it's pretty good. But the remote start on it is very crappy and causes problems. I like the bluetooth integration, that seems good.

A car for the long haul. My Kia optima is reliable now 9 years with basic care.
Overall the car is a reliable vehicle. It required mostly basic maintenance. A few external trim problems over years. The trunk interior fold into the back allowing for increased carrying capacity. This has come in handy at the big box store on more than one occasion.

Midsize Sedan Decent Ride
Kia made a decent mid sized car for 2011. I'm sure they've since made improvements. I would not recommend purchasing this vehicle.

It's fast and very reliable
I'm not interested in selling my car. It has leather seats four wheel drive and has a Kenwood Bluetooth CD stereo with excellent AC

My car is a 2011 Kia optima. It is fully loaded.
This car has been nothing but trouble. I have had to have the engine replaced. The engine still knocks. I bought this car because it had nice features but it began having problems almost from the beginning. I would never recommend that anyone buy a Kia.

Great and reliable car, I love it!
Great car! Only one huge problem with the engine however it was free to repair since it was under warranty. The car is safe and it drives very well. The interior is nice and has dual air controls which is great. There is a backup camera on a big screen which makes is easy to use. My package did not include automatic light but that is only a minor inconvenience and I would rather have the backup camera than the automatic lights.

The Kia optima is a great vehicle!
I love my Kia. It has been a great car for me thus far. The only negatives I have on it is that it does not have four wheel drive(I live in the Midwest). It also is kind of loud on the highway or interstate. Overall though, I am very happy with my purchase! It has had minimal issues in the eight years I have owned it.

Comfort, reliability, and space.
It's a very reliable car. It has lasted me for a while. It's engine had to be fixed, but after that, no problems. It's also comfortable and spacious.

Overall vehicle satisfaction.
The doors are a little heavy and close on you easily. The backseat is not car seat friendly as they are built dipped in like bucket seats. Overall performance is great though. The speed and handling are really good considering this is a 4 cylinder engine. Good gas mileage on eco mode.

Fully loaded inside. Have everything you need having heated and cooling seat.
Reliable car with all the bells and whistles. Poor in the snow. Very nice interior with heated and cooling seats. Has Bluetooth and aux cord hookup. Panoramic sunroof. Clean outside with tinted windows. Spacious truck with plenty of room to put anything you want in. Plenty of room in back seat for leg space.

Car parts have no longevity in them.
Pay for it and then TRADE IT . Do not keep!!! These cars are made to wear out. After 70 thousand you are on borrowed time. Nine calipers, 2 ball joints 2 tie rods, one strut coil spring ,one strut shock, flex pipe, repaint roof +rust. Wheel bearing ,inner fender well, rocker panel, gone. Lastly had to replace leaking gas tank. You be the judge. Car has 140 Ks on it . New engine at 126. Good luck with yours.

Comfortable traveling car
We primarily purchased it because my 6'3' husband fit comfortably inside it. Many cars we tried weren't wide enough to comfortably fit his wide shoulders. It's also very good on gas and has a huge tank. We've traveled up the entire east coast and only needed to fill-up once.

A brief synopsis of a manual transmission Kia optima.
The manual transmission could be better. The you have to burn a little bit of the clutch to get it to not hesitate. I had to replace the stock steering wheel from the lx model for a higher model so that I could have cruise control. I consistently get around 32 mpg at 75 mph. I have not had any real mechanical problems. Changing the oil is extremely easy. This is the first car I have ever owned that has the oil filter positioned vertically.

Kia optima hybrid - keys and headlights.
The Kia optima hybrid is a very reliable vehicle. This car gets adequate gas mileage and will last anyone a long time. The headlights have gone out after only a couple of years, but it was a pretty easy fix. Make sure you have a spare key as well as the battery in the key fob will need replacing every now and then and it will be very frustrating if your key does not work. But in the case that does happen, there is a place you can insert the key, inside the glove box. It took me forever to figure that out.

Kia optima 2011 great on gas luxurious looking.
Car is great on gas, long lasting, no major problems. It is never broken down yet, it is comfortable and affordable. If something ever happens to my 2011 Kia I’d go get the same car! It is great, does not cost much money to fill up the tank, reliable car, luxurious for a great price that you can not beat.

My optima is an eye-catcher. Very stylish and sassy.
About the only problem I can think of is that I have to take it about 50 miles away to get it serviced properly. I love the interior, very comfortable and the style of the exterior. Love the looks of it, I still look in windows to see it go by. Very reliable and good mileage. Loads of pep for a 4 cylinder motor. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

2011 Kia optimum! Very satisfied with my purchase.
My car has actually been great to me. It is very dependable, mpg is great, and is affordable. I have made sure to keep up with the regular maintenance to avoid issues. The exterior is beautiful, the only complaint is that my leather on the back seats has ripped.

The Kia optima is a great car with good mileage and little long term issues.
I love my Kia optima. I really haven't had too many noticeable problems. Kia did have a recall on my vehicle for the engine. They replaced my engine but I never noticed that anything was wrong. With the usual oil changes and tire rotations I haven't had any trouble. I like the style of the car and it is good in mileage. I regret not getting leather but that is the only thing I wish I would've changed. I have 120000 miles on the car and haven't had really high expenses besides your normal new brakes and tires.

That the car conserves gas.
I dislike nothing about the car. The car moves great. The car conserves gas. The engine also sounds good.

Kia optima pro's and con's.
The car is a nice car. When taken care of, it runs smoothly. It has enough space for a small family and it also gets good mileage. The issue is it is a recall model. That means whatever pieces I need to fix it are either discontinued or ready to break your pocket. You eventually have to end up taking the care back to Kia to do all your engine work because they are the only ones who know what they are doing. Which again like I said will end up costing you an arm and a leg.

That it is a very strong, dependable vehicle. Very good power.
I like the size and color. It is a midsize black cherry vehicle. It is a safe vehicle. I also like the panel display that I use to judge my rear view movements.
