- Kia is transforming itself from budget brand to mainstream automotive player and sales aren't the only thing getting a boost. The mid-sized Optima SX has a turbocharged direct-injected four-cylinder that replaces a V6. Tom Voelk travels to Los Angeles to check out this sporty family sedan.
Iam still driving my 2011 Optima sx and I like it.
I feel like the same press car is passed around all the same reviewers in southern California.
@DriveCarReviews ...and you did a very nice job with this Kia, I'd take the blue one too! I just watched insideline's video of this car and it was the same color, I assume both of you are in southern California, and you posted you're videos at close(ish) dates! I tried to see if the plates matched but Edmund's covered up the plates! Hey thx for replying.
the new 2011 Sonata Turbo pulls to the left, and they say its not torque steer, i hope this Optima Turbo doesnt have that problem.
front looks like an accord coupe. i like it
Great value for the price!
It ain't ugly like the Sonata is. My biggest beef against this car is its lack of a V6. I admit the turbo-4 does get it done but its not a pleasant thing to listen to. I WISH the '013 Malibu came out this good; a paddle-shift AND a stick manumatic in the same car? Good things. Stuff a 3.8L V6 in this car and i would recommend it no hesitation.

4yrs late but I think they save that for the Genesis, the 08 genesis has the 3.8 v6. But yes a v6 would be nice since their competitors have v6 models.
@afghanakk - But KIA doesnt have driving dynamics of Honda Accord.
thats a interesting chime lol
i like my fusion sport.
My friend should had brought this car than Mazda 3 Grand Touring which he paid 26k total, 100 more horse and far better gas mileage than the Mazda 3.
kia pust honda to shame
