2014 KIA OPTIMA - THE 20SOMETHING'S

SEDAN

BURLINGTON KIA

WWW.BURLINGTONKIA.COM

I REALLY THOUGHT I HAD MY MIND MADE UP. IN FACT, I

WROTE AN ENTIRE ARTICLE ABOUT THE SCION FR-S AND HOW

IT WOULD BE MY NEXT CAR. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION

WHAT THE SCION FR-S IS AND ISN’T, HOWEVER, PRESENTED

ME WITH SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT, AND WHAT KIND OF

COMPROMISES I WAS WILLING TO MAKE. THE KIA OPTIMA

HAD BEEN IN MY MIND FOR QUITE SOME TIME, ALONG WITH A

FEW OTHER CONTENDERS. I JUST HADN’T GIVE THEM ALL AS

MUCH OF A LOOK AS I HAD THE FR-S.

2014 KIA OPTIMA SX

AUDI GOT IT… I MEAN, KIA GOT IT RIGHT WITH THE NEW

OPTIMA ON THE INSIDE. MR. SCHREYER’S INFLUENCES ARE

VERY EVIDENT ON THE INTERIOR, AS THE COCKPIT IS VERY

DRIVER-FOCUSED AND ORIENTED TOWARD THAT SIDE. FOR

THE PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW I’M GOING TO TOUCH ON

THE SX TRIM AND WHAT IT OFFERS INSIDE. SINCE ITS

INTRODUCTION, KIA HAS TWEAKED THE INTERIOR A LITTLE BIT

EACH YEAR. FOR THE 2012 YEAR AS IN MINE, IT COMES

WITH A SUPPLE BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR WITH SPORT-INSPIRED NYLON FABRIC ACCENTS ON THE SEATS. THE DASH

IS TRIMMED IN STITCHED LEATHER, WHICH IS A NICE ADDED

TOUCH THAT I DIDN’T REALLY EXPECT TO SEE IN THIS LEVEL

OF CAR.

THE KIA OPTIMA REPRESENTS A WELL-ROUNDED, WELL-APPOINTED, RELIABLE, ATTRACTIVE, INVIGORATING SPORTS

SEDAN WITH THE POWER, SPACE, AND AMENITIES TO SERVE THE

YOUNG PROFESSIONAL VERY WELL. IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE

CAR, THIS IS THE ONE I’M RECOMMENDING. YOU CAN ALSO

FEEL GOOD ABOUT BUYING IT, BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT ENTIRELY

IN AMERICA. THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION WERE BOTH

BUILT HERE, AS WELL AS THE CAR ITSELF — 59% OF THE PARTS

CAME FROM KOREA, WITH THE OTHER 41% COMING FROM

THE USA / CANADA. FOR A FOREIGN CAR BRAND, THAT’S

AN EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE ATTRIBUTE TO NOTE, ESPECIALLY

CONSIDERING MAKES LIKE LINCOLN AND DODGE (BOTH

AMERICAN BRANDS) ARE ASSEMBLING CARS AND TRUCKS IN

MEXICO!
