Really happy with the refresh. The LED DRL's flow nicely inside the headlamps and don't look out of place. I personally prefer the pre-refresh LED tails, but these are growing on me. Good job, Kia.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL car, best looking in its class hands down.

This is the one Kia I actually like because when I got to finally experience one in person it wasn't a huge let down. Nice looking, potent engines and a really high quality interior. I still don't trust the reliability and resale so I'd stick with the Passat or Accord but I think its actually not a terrible car.

As the video even mentioned - rear tail lights are from the fusion, the turbo badge is ripped right off of the new MK7 golf, and the radio pulled straight off the new A3.

We appreciate your patience currently, we are in the process of completing our new 2TR website which should be launching by our one year anniversary as a company. We are also testing a new vehicle this week, the review will be up by early next week. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for new updates as we progress :)

hey man just wanted to know did they do anything about the road noise or anything? i own a 11' optima and i hate the road noise but love the car

Great review, thanks! Trying to decide between purchasing the '13 or '14 model. If that 8" infotainment display came standard on the '14 SX (as I believe it does on the '14 Sorrento SX), it would be hard to pass up on. Could you confirm which packages (if any) were included in the SX you reviewed?

The Optima is a seriously gorgeous car....

Which Audi does this car remind you? I have troubles guessing, except for the dash board.

[mikerockstar]

Very curious if they've done any work on the steering & handling for 2014. I testdrove a 2013 Optima last summer. Loved the looks but was disappointed in the steering response/feel & the handling. The Fusion has the best steering feel in the segment IMO, though the 2014 Mazda 6 was great. To be fair, the one midsize I haven't driven yet is the 2013 Accord. I've driven most of the others (Sonata, Malibu, etc.), and prefer the drive of the Fusion mildly over the Mazda6, which has the best tranny

I love this car! I'm curious to see what Hyundai does with the Sonata, that car got old fast styling wise.

[rlstan]

YES.. The Optima is one of the Best Looking cars out there.

[grthingz]

on that note, the tail lights might be going for the Audi s3 too. they have that same thing going

[theredline]

The Optima does not compete with the Taurus. That's what the new Kia Cadenza is for.

[mobius]

[robertsmith]
