KIA OPTIMA 2008 LX
by Annie on 3/12/2024 2:29:10 AM
I love my Kia Optima 2008. It has been a great car. Very spacious and comfortable inside. I have this car since 2010 and still great. Another great thing about this car is when you need to accelerate this car will respond. My is a 2.4 litters and is very sweet to drive. I would love to find another but stick shift instead. - 5.0
Amazing Car
by RedRose2318 on 11/20/2023 8:22:25 PM
This car is great, as a first car or replacement for an older car you may have. I had a Chrysler 300 and it was a 2005. It went kaput. I bought this beautiful 2008 Kia Optima and I'm satisfied with this purchase. It is touchy with the gas and accelerator pedals, but other than that, I love it and would recommend it as a first car for young people. - 4.0
Honda has a challenger!
by Boomer Dad on 8/23/2022 5:10:10 PM
I’ve owned several Hondas and one early Kia (junk), but I have to say this car is fantastic! The 2.4 has plenty of zip, great mpg, plenty of space (including trunk) and handles really well. A/C is wicked cold! Only negative is junky bumper plastic. Great crash test ratings! I’ll miss it… Parting is such sweet sorrow!
