    I purchased one last week. I have the turbo and it's fun to drive. In sport mode you have no choice but to go fast so I leave it in eco mode when I'm not in a rush. There's a normal mode which I haven't tried yet. Interior is excellent and it looks amazing on the outside with the rims and moonroof. The only downfall is when you hit a bump at 55mph or up it feels like a log hit the bottom of your car. I'm thinking it's because the car is low to the ground. I traded in my 2013 honda accord exl for this car. I am impressed with the Optima, looks like a baby stinger.

    I have this car and I love it but the sound system is total garbage unfortunately. I'd like to get new speakers but im not sure if the amp is crap too.

    One correction: 2.0T makes 245 HP, 2.4L 185 HP. 2.0T is down ~30 HP from last generation's Optima (made 274 HP from the same turbo engine). Nice review!

      @mikeydlove I had a 2019 brand new Mazda 6 as well as my optima. Ended up selling it back to the dealership, it drives crappie with horrible gas mileage, but it's a good looking car but too much road noise at 80 mph but the Optima is probably not the sportiest but the ride is soo smooth and quiet lol and also personally I think the six trim is the most handsome in this segment especially exterior wise, but the Mazda 6 has the best interior in this segment!But like I said its been a great car,almost at 70k miles and still get compliments every day lol!

    It's 245hp and 260 lbs of tq, of course it's relatively fast (0 - 60 in 5.9 seconds). It's very comparable to the Audi A4 with the 2.0T, the BMW 330i with the 2.0T and the Mercedes C300 with the 2.0T.

    • @Ko6pa
      @Ko6pa 6 років тому

      Monsieur Africain 2.0T is pretty slow compare to audi, 0-60 is actual 7.5-8.0 in real life, not even come close to low 7s, front wheel drive, massive weight and slow automatic transmission... (( Forgot to mention a bad, bad PU "leather" seats that wears out at 15-20k miles easily ((

    • @Ko6pa
      @Ko6pa 6 років тому

      Monsieur Africain Thanks for that link, great review by the way, but he only saying numbers.., im talking about real, mesured acceleration. Try to search for it on youtube, there are number of those, measured by a racelogic particularly.

    • @Ko6pa
      @Ko6pa 6 років тому

      Monsieur Africain And we are talking about 0-60 mph i suppose, not 0-60KMh ?

    • @MalamIbnMalam
      @MalamIbnMalam 6 років тому

      Ko6pa, 0 - 60 times differ from tester to tester and certain things can cause a much slower 0 - 60 time (higher elevation above sea level for instance).

    Overall I do like the optima, but if you go over a small bump, than you know that you just drove over a small bump, and like most other mid size sedans, unless you put snow tires on it, than it is going to be horrendous in snow or ice covered roads

      It’s weird. A lot of Kias we have done do not have remote start. Apparently it is a $425 option on the Optima.

      crazy, check out canadian optima models.
      It's available in every trim except the very basic one that doesn't come with much of anything in Canada. At the bottom you can scroll down to the model comparison.
