New Kia Optima Clarksville Reviews
The 2011 Kia Optima was named as on of Auto Trader.com's 'Top 5 Family cars that Dads can love too.
"For some dads, any old truckster that can perform the triple duties of commuting, travelling and everyday kid hauling will do the trick. But some dads want something more - a vehicle that can tackle those necessary tasks, but also possesses those less tangible attributes that make a car special." -
"Dads will love it for its value - you can get a nicely equipped car for thousands less than the competition from more prestigious brands, like Honda and Toyota. But you aren't sacrificing on quality or style: Kia also backs the Optima with an industry-leading warranty, and the Optima looks positively high-end. The forward-thinking designers at Kia penned a car that has the lines of a Lexus, but Kia sells the Optima at a price closer to a Toyota Corolla than a Lexus ES 350." -
Red dot design award - best of the best 2011
"The D-segment model Kia Optima combines a distinctive design with excellent handling characteristics and modern accents. A strong shoulder line, structured edges and powerful wheel arches give the Kia Optima an elegant and athletic appearance. A driver-oriented interior and high-tech attributes in the interior emphasise the comfort and elegance. The small but highly efficient engines with six-in automatic and manual transmissions underline the pleasure for driving."
-Red-Dot.orgCars.com Platinum Award Winner for 2011 from Edmunds Inside Line "The 2011 Optima should become Kia's top seller and give Camry and Accord shoppers a better choice. It wins Cars.com's highest award, Best of 2011."

" It's been a long time since we looked at a midsize family sedan and thought to ourselves, "That looks pretty damn good." The fact that we said it about the 2011 Kia Optima made it even more of a shock. Then we drove the new sedan and liked it even more.""We know the idea of "wanting" a Kia might seem blasphemous to enthusiasts, but we can't all drive Raptors and Corvettes. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and buy something a little more sensible. Put in that situation, the Kia Optima is one sedan we would want."
