Kia did a really good job on this car! I like it.

[@diethersantos6404]

Same Here Even The Stinger 😁

[@MrCarGuy]

Kias are damn nice these days. The high trim K900, in my opinion, has a higher quality interior than the current LS460 (by a bit).

[@ThousanWhite]

You're technically right according to JD Power

[@barentoabdulle701]

A Kia Optima 2016 this one now is my dream car

[@henryi9738]

Very nice ! I liked the short walk around intro before getting into the car. The driving was great as always. For future reference, I'd like to see some basic specs appear on the screen, thank you.

[@deandrewolf5996]

I love watching your videos🤝🤞

[@NileshR12]

Omg that red leather looks incredible! I wish they would've kept that as an option for the whole generation

[@omerkaya4759]

awesome car

[@thecarexpert21]

Test drove one at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show. I must say, Kia has really stepped up their game, and I left very impressed. The one we test drove had a panoramic sunroof, quilted leather seating, sunshades for the rear windows, a 360 degree birds eye view camera, and a camera that shows you the front right wheel when parallel parking. These are all features that you can't get in other midsize segment competitors.Long term reliability (100k+) is questionable though.

[@sumi7065]

kia coming out with some nice models

[@banantwon]

I want this car so bad 😭

[@motblc362]

I just got this car rn 6 years later 2023 and it’s amazing

[@vevevovo2438]

Thank you

[@GVGVIT]

Nice car!

[@flee78]

Fast ride!

[@unknownuser0006]

Seems that you really like that sweater :D

[@a7med1top]

ياويلي ويلااه 😍💜

[@hussamir7604]

+Winding Road Magazine ,I'm a huge fan of your videos! I think they're simple and very nice but u have one quick question. How do you sit when you drive? Because when I drive my knees touch the dash under the steering wheel. Is that a good thing? Or should I sit a little farther back? I'd love to hear back from you. Cheers!

[@heshammohamed4471]

U should sit little farther of course...

[@Alexinthecut]

As a 2016 Kia Optima SX turbo 2.0L owner, it sucks to say that it’s not that well supported if you’re a car guy like myself. Hard to find CAI’s, anything exhaust related, trim and interior accessories, and more. But I do love this car and hope it lasts me a long time. Sitting at 61k miles

[@alexr3131]

Wassup bro I got the same car what kind of gas do you use 87 , 89 , or 93 ?

[@banstaman]

I just wish it looked as good as the last gen.

[@chop1234ification]

the front end does, the back doesn't

[@banstaman]

I think it's too soft compared to the previous gen. The previous generation's face was perfect; though I do like this gen's rear.

[@NoLastNameX]

Why do the tail lights extend all the way onto the side of the car? It doesnt look right.

[@taylor5743]

How come you guys haven't done a Jeep Wrangler Test Drive?

[@waleedkakar3309]

Can u make a video of Hayundai genius v8

[@magnusary6996]

Why don't you use the automatic lights?

[@hamooody_387]

Wow it is great 😍 بس الخقه سوسو احلى 😂

[@user-nm2wk7cs6w]

يع 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@vvna11]

omgomgomg pls do a night drive for this~~

[@user-ls8uf6fm2y]

Тачка офигенная!!!

[@Argon94]

6 лет спустя твоей записи😅 Сейчас у меня такая же, именно SX. Через Армению пригнана с Америки. С таким именно салоном. 15й год. Состояние огонь. Не после ДТП. С аукциона забирали чуть коцнуто было 1 крыло. И что очень радует 245 л.с по документам, т е до налоговая. А по факту 278 лошадей. Ибо наша GT задушена до 245 которая нифига их не выдаёт. В моей чувствуется наличие ну как минимум 250 коней)))

[@pontiacGXPfan]

how do i tune it to north of 250 horsepower?

[@andyjung3387]

Best Mid size Sedan in terms of Luxury/Sport both. If this car add a AWD function....

[@umarery]

DUN DUN DUN!!!

[@MustafaALhasnawi]

حليوه

[@filipenaarea1]

this interior is so bmw

[@PasiX2]

+Filipe Felício The upper section of the dashboard is definately inspired by the F10 5 series. Also my first thought. But I guess its different enough and at least it does look pretty nice to me.

[@filipenaarea1]

+Altmeister42 you're right its very nice =]

[@mateusfaria8556]

+cpt kirk agree

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Yeah.....BMW has really dreary, plain interiors

[@wassha09]

You should do a drive with the 2016 Jeep Cherokee.

[@18norden91]

so what's the price for this one?

[@ThousanWhite]

For the SX Turbo, just under $35k

[@briannathan4502]

sound like hyundai santa fe blinkers

[@rmi222]

and ford focus 😂

[@socksamazingchannel]

is this the sx or sxl?

[@SolaceCity]

SX

[@motogine5393]

Are you a Toyota Hilux experience

[@m6l8alturki42]

How many horses ? Is v6

[@mohd1908]

4 سلندر تيربو 250 حصان

[@m6l8alturki42]

+mohd hariri thanks

[@2R1V3R]

+m6l8 ALturki 245hp 4 cylinder turbo

[@jonshatku8015]

Kia

[@user-pu5dk8xh4c]

FWD?

[@awszx114460]

korea name Kia K5

[@MisterDopeTunes]

Interior > Exterior

[@user-om4jb6gx9e]

So good car but you can't find the quality

[@RangerOfTheEast00]

why the 8 dislikes

[@raggedbandit1]

This car is a beast... but when you turn it off it sounds like a gay ass princess car. 10/10 would buy tho

[@ZlobniyXren666]

Nilly Vice you could turn off welcoming and turn off sounds

[@AliAhmed-pi4ru]

شهيد العباسية العصر طيبة. لا اله إله م

[@vpainfulz8180]

Exactly looks like the bmw interior

[@Dre2383]

That shut off noise is horrible 7:05

[@CFL-TECH]

Looks good for a KIA. They should remove that cheap emblem on the steering wheel and on the hood. Oh wait, that is the brand. There you go cheap. Interior materials are not quite that of a Honda or Toyota and that's reflected in the price comparison with the three brands. This is not to say that they aren't better when they first landed in the U.S. but the brand has individuals that will never purchase due to the cheap brand stigma. First impressions last forever and sometimes some will jump ship to try but ultimately the old saying you get what you pay for never changes.

[@MisterOwlz]

CFL-Tech that's how I feel about Nissan, because of its drivers. Now I can't see a Nissan Altima without automatically assuming/knowing there's a mexican driving it. Never fails. The Nissan brand is the Mexican mobile.

[@10293]

CFL-Tech you're so dumb.

[@wonderwall135]

why don't you talk? you talked in one video.

[@tank2g2]

+wonderwall135 that was one of his " discussion " videos it said so in the title of it

[@Paul-rz3fd]

This one are suck asss!! The older model was way batter looking!! Sx!

[@pontiacGXPfan]

245 horsepower ain't shit, even for a midsize sedan. Plus, Apple CarPlay sounds like shit compared to a CD

[@EpixGamer101]

pontiacGXPfan 245hp is quite a lot considering the car gets 32mog on the high way

[@scottmurphy4946]

You must live in Dubai if you think 245 hp cars are low.

[@baconlettuceburger2464]

I don't like this car.Cuz this car is look like Germany cars.I hate copy.Korean cars are likes to copy!!But this video is nice :-)

[@MisterOwlz]

Bacon lettuce burger Kias are designed in Germany, and engineering and manufactured in South Korea

[@DigiSVK]

ich hab Kia optima und bite hör auf diese videos zu machen es ist peinlich

[@weltrogg1768]

Hate kia, hate korean cars. This is not a car this a parody! Ulgy and banal.

[@2R1V3R]

that what I used to say until I test drove one an blew my mind off.
