Updates improve this midsize sedan. edited by New Car Test Drive

Summary

2009 Kia Optima

The Kia Optima is solid family sedan transport with comfortable space for four. Its available four-cylinder engine is among the class leaders in output and efficiency, the ride and handling more than capable, and the packaging shows smaller outside doesn't mean smaller inside. It has the best warranty in the segment and, feature for feature it costs significantly less than all of them.
