New Kia Optima

[Egan101]

This car is quite a looker. With only a few on the road, it always stand out with its muscular stance and big bling wheels and panoramic roof.

Maybe a few Tsikot members who have this car can share their reviews and insights on the car. I bet this car will give the new Mazda 6 quite a competition.

I have only driven it for 400 km but first my impression is great! This car really surprised me much more than the Sonata ;)

And now, 6-7 months after? Did you get top of the line or the 2.4L one?

Loving this car each passing day! Medyo matakaw lang as gás but it's Worth it ;)
There is only one model available at the local dealer, 2.4L with luxury wheels.

What's the actual FC city and highway?

What's the actual FC city and highway?

city only 20L/100Km
it gets better on the highway around 14L/100Km
this is based on the onboard computer... have not tried manual calculation... just enjoying the drive ;)

Wow 20/100 is a bit high. are you stuck mostly in traffic? I'm getting around 12-16/100 on everyday traffic.

Drinks like a V6 pala, around same FC as mine pero mine's 3.7L V6.

Hope it improves as you get more mileage to it.

hay optima. Magkano PMS?

as per KIA ang first PMS nya is 7.5K km, pero nagpa change oil & filter ako after 6 months at 1.2K km, mura lang naman sa KIA Las Pinas, i think 3K+ lang with ZIC oil and OEM oil filter.

Di ko alam na ganto pala kagastos sa gas ito?

Test drove a turbo model, SX V6 and i can say that it left a lasting smile in my face.
Sinlakas ang makina ng Sorento TOTL but parang mas matulin sya, maybe of course its lighter than the sorento.
And the interior is very good, much better than camry or accord. But not Mazda 6.
Very premium ang feel, leather is quite alright and comfy sa likod ang passengers. Lots of legroom too.

This is on my list of future cars to acquire, as soon as I fully paid my Sorento.

Walang V6 as Pinas, but the 2.4L engine is quite good enough for me ;) It drives like a coupe, you won't feel like driving a sedan.
Di ko pa nakita ang interior ng Mazda 6, how is the interior better? Dual sunroof din po ba? BTW, the 6 is 300K+ petot pricier than Optima.

I agree with you that SORENTO is really nice! Same engine technology with my SANTA FE.
