What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Kia Optima

Price of the Kia Optima: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The SX Limited is not an inexpensive car. The MSRP on mine was just shy of $36,000. I always lease cars, though, and I will say that my monthly payment is about $40 lower than it was on the 2010 Acura TL I had (which had a nearly identical sticker price). I'm assuming that Kia was simply offering more aggressive discounts than Acura, since their residuals can't possibly be on par. However, though Acura has great cachet and brand image than Kia, I'm much happier with the Kia so far.
2011 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 $4,000-5,000 for closest Camry or Accord with far more equipment, higher horsepower, better fuel economy with a far better warranty.
2007 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The price was $17,300 brand new.
2007 4dr Sedan 185-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Good value

2009 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4

2011 4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed automatic FWD		 For the standard amenities and options as compared to Cobalt and several other makes/models Fiesta had the best "bang for the buck" of them all.
2011 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed automatic FWD		 $2,000 off MSRP the day after Christmas
2011 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It is a great value.
2011 4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed automatic FWD		 great price compared to what you get. car could easily cost more and still be sold.
2011 4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It was a cheap car
Price of the Ford Fiesta: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4
