Pros: What do you like about 2007 Kia Optima?
So many things to like....
The price.
The looks (except for the back lights, too much like a Corolla).
The great warranty.
The stereo system.
The leather.
Power heated seats.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Kia Optima?
Really should have had a MPG indicator in the computer and a compass in mirror.

2007 Kia Optima Review:
I am 73 years old, so I have owned may different cars during my long life. This one, an Optima EX may be the best ever. After 30,000 miles it runs like a new one. Highway gas mileage is outstanding! Once it got over 40MPG on a tank. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

I am constantly having to change the bulbs (i.e. I have already changed 3 headlight bulbs, and one turning signal. Am needing to change another.)

2007 Kia Optima Review:
I like my car, overall, but the rate at which I have to change headlights/taillights borders on ridiculous.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Kia Optima?
We really like the car. It has pretty good pep for a 4-cylinder. They advertised with an average of 24 mpg - we've gotten sometimes as much as 26 to 28, so that's a plus. All-in-all it's been pretty classy.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Kia Optima?
We recently noticed some vibration, coming up from the floor of the car and have taken it in to Kia, as it's still under warranty, however, they can't find a cause. They've admitted to having come across it on a couple of other Optimas', but nobody seems to be able to find the root of the problem. Anyone else having this issue - have you found what caused it????

2007 Kia Optima Review:
Overall, we give the Optima a thumbs up!! It's a great running, economical car. Just wish we could identify the vibration issue.
