Last year, the Kia Optima went from being a meek, often overlooked midsize passenger car into what Edmunds.com called "one of the best (and best-looking) midsize family sedans" available to consumers. After a complete redesign, the Optima emerged like a butterfly from a cocoon with a sportier personality and improved visage. The 2012 Kia Optima from Joe Myers Kia builds on the sedan's newfound design maturity, adding even more interior features and new exterior styling cues like chrome door handles and sharp LED taillights. Kia Optima reviews favorite the car for its sophisticated styling, variety of muscular powertrains and wealth of standard amenities and smart electronics. The Optima is also ultra affordable with an MSRP of just $19,500, making it tough competition for the Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Don't drive a vehicle that just competes with the best in its class, get to your destination in a car that is the best in class - with a 2012 Consumers Digest "Best Buys" award to prove it.

The Optima was introduced in the United States in 2001 and was an instant hit. Facing stiff competition, Kia had to create a distinctive midsize sedan with superior features that would suit the needs of a wide range of consumers who desired a comfortable and luxurious vehicle offered at a cut-rate price. The Optima increased Kia's share of the market and initial Kia Optima reviews were quite favorable, praising the midsize sedan as a well-built alternative to Toyota and Honda. First generation cars were mostly marketed as the Optima, although the Kia Magentis nameplate was used in Europe and Canada when sales began there in 2002. At the time, the Optima closely resembled the Hyundai Sonata, which wasn't a surprise considering that Hyundai had recently purchased Kia. Consumers enjoyed the Optima for its lavish interior design, capable engine and incredible variety of standard amenities. Joe Myers Kia has a large inventory of new and used Kia Optima cars for Houston car shoppers to choose from. Visit us today to learn about the latest Kia incentives and package options!
