Just picked up a 2012 Kia Optima SX

How are you liking the optima so far? any problems? How many miles on the odo? I've been contemplating trading in my taco for one.

 

I actually traded in my '11 optima for my Tacoma. It was a hell of a car. Lots of bang for your buck. Mileage was amazing.

 

I drive 700 miles a week! So mileage is the only reason I'm thinking of switching! I calculated the math with the gas I'll be saving a month I can almost make the new payment.

The only thing that scares me is the loss of value with the optima. My truck lost maybe 2k after the first year. The fully loaded 2011 sx is worth about 6k less now. The debate continues!

 

Funny you say that
I traded in my 2010 optima for my 2011 tacoma

I really liked the optima though, since it is cheaper the key is to get all
the additional bells and whistles, leather interior, upgraded sound
package, sport package etc.

I would buy it again in a heart beat. Love my tacoma though so no chance of that.

 

Sick ride,never thought I would say that bout a kia, I would rock it hard. Congrats awesome looking ride

 

Bitchen car! I wanted to get the wife a Kia Borrego but they stopped making it last year.

 

We couldn't be happier with this car. We have just under 9,000 miles now. We have had zero problems(knock on wood). I recommend this car to anyone that shows interest.

The mileage is incredible. On the highway with very minimal traffic we have knocked down 35-36mpg. We mostly drive city and we see around 25-27 on average. The decrease in value is kinda crappy but it didn't bother me too much. The amount of enjoyment this car has given me makes up for the loss in value.

Thank You!

I hear you, If someone told me that I would be buying a Kia 1 year ago I would have laughed in their face, and my wife pretty much did laugh in my face because she wasn't aware of the drastic change that the Kia's and Hyundai's went through. After one test drive we were both hooked.

Thanks. I haven't heard of the Borrego before, gonna check it out now though.
