I'm thinking of buying a 2016 used Kia Optima LX for $13,500.

>>17245363
You can almost get a brand new Soul for that much. Or a sentra. Or a used 4 door genesis (they are pretty nice inside).

>>17245363
No.

stay away from Kia and Nissan. get a Camry, Accord, Sonata, even the other anons suggestion of a 4 door Genesis... 15/16 Camry's are dirt cheap right now, you could probably get a new one for a few g's more or possibly even close to that price if pre-owned

havent heard good things about the vvt or gdi in those kia motors, seen pistons with holes in the tops from detonation

>>17245363
Unironically buying a Killed In Action...

>stay away from Kia
>get a Sonata
not sure if troll. you do realize that the Sonata and Optima are the same car, right? like, Hyundai is Kia and Kia is Hyundai. That's like saying don't get a Tahoe (because Chevy is crap) get a Yukon (because GMC is great)

>>17245756
I agree that the Sonata isn't Toyota tier good but Hyundai is coming along... I mean if your only two options for the same price is either a Sonata or (base, ugh) Optima I'd probably just shoot myself but OP would probably be better off with the Hyundai, provided he couldn't get a better mid size at a better price

>>17245363
>>17245906
also OP why the Kia and are you set on the price (flexible to move up a little)?

>>17245603
what's wrong with nissan?

>>17245920
shorter list would be what isn't, cheap poor quality crap that you couldn't pay me to drive

>>17245363
Just look at the first 5 pages of /o/, no one has bought/owned anything made in the past decade. I think you should seek your advice elsewhere...

I have 2015 and have put 30k miles on it as a second vehicle actually impressed and happy with it. only problem was battery died last month but warranty replaced it for free. Great mpg decent power for getting from A-B for my family. Base model has bluetooth and sirrus

>spending $13,500 on a fucking Kia

Oy
Fucking
Vey

>>17245363
why not just go down a year or two and get the same fucking thing for like 8k

>poorfag mad he could only afford an ex police car

>>17246224
Totally different car with worse steering tuning, worse mileage and worse crash test scores, and smaller trunk and passenger volume. The 2016 is literally better in every way.

>>17246292
well fuck, you're right. 28 mpg city is pretty fucking good.

>>17246234
ex police cars are better than kias top of the line

>>17245363
>interference engine
>purge valves always go out
>suspension bolts snap
jesus h christ
get anything else

>>17245363
>>17245363
But just fucking why? It's a slow base model Kia. You could do better for half the price.

>>17246723
[citation needed]

All the cheap features are half the reason of getting a Kia. The base model will be underwhelming. Buy nip instead.

>>17245363
>buying korean

Never.

>>17247401
Still better than GM

>>17247370
The other half reason is the insane depreciation these cars face initially. $14k for a 1 year old midsize is a steal, and all the reviews praise it for being a well riding car.

It's not 2002 anymore anon. Honda autos are fine. If you go old enough you can get a manual one.

It's not 2002 anymore anon. Kia's are fine.

KIAs are the parts-bin trash that don't get to be Hyundais.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOOD ENOUGH TO WEAR A HYUNDAI BADGE.

WEW LAD.

VERY FUCKING WEW.

I have a 1.6T 16' Optima and it's great, ridiculous gas mileage and quick for what it is. Half of these niggers don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

>>17249096
>Half of these niggers don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

Nobody here drives anything made during this decade. They're stupid college kids harboring really outdated preconceived notions.

Kias are awesome, best bang for the buck. Love my Kia Soul. I also have a Jag F-Type R, and looking to buy the upcoming Stinger.
