2015 Kia Optima SX Turbo Video Test Drive

[@rmendoza720]

Bought my kia optima 2011 ex turbo new about 4 1/2 years ago. Only had one minor problem with the steering wheel. LOVE my optima...wish I ponyed up for the sx for the little bit of polish it has but love it just the same. 63k miles on it so far.

Replaced the motor at 50,000 main bearing out. Keep your receipts they will blame you if not. Will trade in before warranty is up

just for those who wish to know, a 3inch exhaust and a downpipe will make this car worth it. my 14 sxl has intake, BOV and exhaust, woke the car right up. strut tower brace is next to improve the curvy road experience.

[@drose4138]

+FutureSEAL23 Cool. How much would all that cost for a 2015 SX Turbo with installation and taxes? . Gains in hp? Do you use reg or premium fuel? Thanks

[@FutureSEAL23]

My exhaust was CX Racing and cost around $500 next was the same company intake and bov kit which was $350. I'd say you'd get about 300hp compared to the 274hp stock. I put the parts in myself so you'd have to check with your local mechanics for install costs.

[@drose4138]

+FutureSEAL23 thanks a lot for the reply. I test drove an 2015 Turbo today. The dealership said to use regular fuel. Your thoughts?

[@drose4138]

Last , do those mods affect fuel consumption? Thanks

[@FutureSEAL23]

Nothing too bad to be honest. I still do 30mpg on the highway. Running 93 is a great choice for these cars, they're much stronger with it.

[@KymaticaHealth]

Gain 10whp by running 94 octane.

[@yurkshirelad]

How does it handle on broken roads? Does it soak up the potholes or is it harsh and crashy?

[@adriananzano2292]

Mike it handles like a rolls royce

[@Leulogy]

Can a 6'2 person sit in the back?

[@haidacudemos]

I heard that the back room is terrible.

[@junkteejay]

***** Yes, I have a 2014, my head has 2-6 inches above my head. The back is tight, but you'll be driving. It shouldn't matter about the back for you.

[@mikerunsolo4441]

+junkteejay ok but as a guy whoes a little taller then him will i be comfy in the front?. i really want this car

[@seanmainwaring]

Is this fun to drive on curves?

[@junkteejay]

SeanDawg not really, handling is soft.

[@mikerunsolo4441]

its small i can a tall guy be comfy in this or no

[@jdgbagedg]

The guy I purchased mine from is 6'5 and had plenty of room.

[@erik2368]

my dad has that car its has heated seats

[@nightvision3114]

Had a 2014 model loaned to me and it looked nice on the outside but the ride was trash with 0 power from the engine....had to floor it to pass people at 40 mph...Not quite up to par on the 'value' aspect for me. Amenities are cool but I need performance out of a car. No thanks

[@Thecherokee4x4]

I own a 2013 SXL 2.0 turbo... it hauls ass!

[@JamesJones-xb8bx]

"Set it and forget it"? Big problem now a days. Too much multi tasking. I own this model car and no such thing as set it and forget it. Pay attention to the road.
