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.

When they started building the Theta engines (the 2.4L and one of the 2.0L) in America, they had some casting problems that left metal shavings in the block. Eventually it would grenade the engine. Hyundai/Kia replaced the engines and extended the powertrain warranty even to owners who bought them used. I believe it only affected the engines from 2011-2014.

For $350/mo, you could pay cash for a F150 and just use it on gas?

And when we got it, I liked the styling much better than many other sedan type cars. I read that the designer for Audi had joined Kia and that was his first design with them. I now see that other manufacturers have tried to copy some of that styling over the last few years. One issue that I found out about recently was a manufacturing flaw involving the engine Quote:

Briggs Kia in Topeka did replace the engine last fall/winter when it suddenly started acting up. I realize that all manufacturers have their screwups from time to time but this one was a pretty major one. At least they finally did the right thing.

Great cars and warranty from Kia and Hyundai.
Own the sonata currently. That stinger is lovely, I hope Hyundai does one also but I have a feeling they will roll it into their Genesis line. I was wanting the new blazer until they released that ugly abomination. |

Stinger looks really cool. But $33k starting price is a little more than I'd want to spend.

We were at the bank recently and mentioned that I’d be getting a car for Uber.
The bank rep said we’ll finance anything but Kia, lol. He said the depreciation is crazy on them, lol.

Have you looked at purchasing a lifted truck to compensate for your tiny dick?

That doesn’t seem right since they are priced affordably new, the depreciation should be less.

A (gently) used 2017 Optima can still fetch $12/$14k on resell. It just doesn't have that Powertrain warrany

Look at an Altima, one year older. Still the better car.
