Does anyone own a Kia Optima?
Been looking for a car came to the conclusion the Kia Optima is it. Looks nice and is affordable. I drive about 30 miles to and from work gets a good mpg on the highway.

I do!
A 2016 LX 1.6T. It has the 1.6L turbo in it, which is more powerful and gets better mileage than the 2.4L in the car in the link. Mine isn't as fancy as that one but has everything that I wanted in it. The car is quiet, comfortable and I average 39 mpg in mixed rural driving. It has plenty of power for passing or whatnot. It's been trouble-free though I only have 13,000 miles so far so that is to be expected. I paid $20,000 (sticker was $26,500) in early 2017 for it and have zero regrets. |

Test drive a Malibu, no joke I bought mine a year and a half ago and love it. It has an actual transmission not the CVT shit and turbo with plenty of power. It also just feels nice and rides really well

One thing to consider, Billay, is that the 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty does not transfer from the original owner so you will only have the remainder of the 5 year, 50,000 mile B2B warranty.
To be honest, if I were you, I would spend an extra $2000 and buy one of the new 2019 Optima LXs that they are advertising for $20K. You won't have leather and a sunroof but they are still nicely appointed and you'll get the full warranty. The new ones also now have Apple Carplay and Android Auto built in which the '16s did not. You'll also get a better rate and term on the financing. You might also consider a Forte. They are a little smaller than the Optima but not by much and are in no way a penalty box. The Kia site is advertising a 2019 Forte S with a sunroof for $18,550 brand new. Just throwing that out there. |

Kias don't have a CVT. It's either a regular six speed auto or seven speed DCT auto.

Olathe Kia Bill George.has 4 2018 units, I think I would go to the bank, get approved for an 18 used, new and a 19 and go shop them in Olathe.
I would never do business there* but if you can steal a car you never need to go back. * They Lied about carfax and sold an old GF a car hit in rear and traded with a hot tub for a trunk. I make him give her 2 comparable cars and a grand$ to forget about it. Again Beware of Bill George he won't let me in the door...... I bought a new Altima years ago new for less than a leftover from the last year, just depends on what they are offering at the time.
