[@mikewright8239]

I love this video so much please make more on the optima!

[@russellgeorge1993]

My nephew just got one and he loves it!

[@22njohnson]

This video was very helpful. I'll be looking for a new car very soon. I'm 6'7" with a wife and 2 kids...a 4 year old and a 1 year old. I think this Kia Optima will be a great choice to go along with our Dodge Journey! Thank You!!!

[@glendakay9895]

The room is what i love.

[@April-tn7zz]

I’m getting this car ❤️

[@rancidfarts8993]

If you have a couple extra people to pack just put them in the trunk that's a good idea

[@SuperCooldude115]

Hi will those LED daytime running lights fit my lx model. I can't seem to find and custom headlights for the 2017 model year or anything custom for this model year so will these LED lights fit ?

[@KidCarReviews]

Best in class !!

[@stephenmcallister2169]

still love how dealerships make a big deal of how many city and highway mpg cars get. cars from the 90s we’re getting 30+ my 2005 altima gets 24 city 31 highway. i can do just 400 miles on a 14-15 gallon tank combined and the tank holds 20

[@tomjeffery6708]

Dude where did you get those sick kicks though man? haha

[@Calferr]

[@rudolphbillups3119]

[@cjdimas7425]

[@IWeasel]

[@omarpadilla824]

You can tell you saw this car for the very first time and just winged this video.

[@zanyzealot]

Where is paddle shift?

[@angelinalopez3078]

What was the power button for on the review mirror??¿

[@abdulaliakbar1175]

Angelina Lopez operates the garage

[@angelinalopez3078]

REPLY PLZ.... WHAT IS THE POWER BUTTON FOR ON THE REVIEW MIRROR...!????¿¿¿

[@abdulaliakbar1175]

Angelina Lopez it also lets you know what direction North, East, South, and West.

[@SuperCooldude115]

Hi will the ex 17 alloy wheels fit on my 2017 lx can someone please let me know ?

[@TheCr0wned]

I'm wondering the same thing. I need some good 17's or 18's on my LX :D

[@Bloomamba94]

More than likely, the really only thing difference between EX and LX is features. Things like rims and stuff generally are the same.

[@techviewer4599]

Tire Mobility Kit = No Real Spare Tire. If you get a flat tire on a road trip, you may wait hours for a tow truck to arrive and tow your car to a garage so you can purchase a new tire in case the ruined tire cannot be repaired. You will probably need a hotel room for the night, too Kia made the choice not to include a compact spare This video was for promotional sales, and was not a true review of the car in any way

[@snappy9714]

Does this Kia have any packages or is it stock ?

[@Smailkia]

Lots of options for you, Santiago. Here's our current inventory, even including new 2018 models in stock! www.smailkia.com/new-inventory/index.htm?model=Optima&sortBy=year%20desc

[@brody9200]

Santiago Bermudez Don’t think they answered your question. That EX trim he’s showing has an added package that adds (for 2017) the panoramic moonroof, the ventilated seats, the LED interior lights, the power passenger seat, blind spot monitoring, and the rear sonar assistance. I think it’s a pretty expensive package as well. So he acted like it was value packed for just being the EX but really there was an added package to make it that nice.

[@poloalando3270]

nice horn tho! 😂

[@Big7472.0]

Mazda is next to Kia

[@uwish7]

Why didn't he provide the hp or turn radius? Has he seen a car before? Im a woman and i know what to look for

[@Smailkia]

Thanks for watching, uwish7. The mission of our First Gear series of videos is to explore and discover features of the car. It is not a stat show filled with technical features. You might be more interested in our Smail Ride Along series of videos where a trained Smail salesman explains and demonstrates various features while conducting a test drive. You can find our Optima videos here: 2018 Optima EX: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYKkaa2Ndq-Ufbc 2017 Optima LX: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epWTqWltnJKKg68

[@humbertoheredia6734]

uwish7 turn radius? Dumb bitch

[@asifaslam1111]

Lane changing arrows! Seriously

[@wilchambers1401]

I loved my 2018 Optima until Engine went out. It only has 7600 miles but dealer said Kia having alot of trouble with that engine so much so that it could be a month or more before Kia can send them a new one. Stay away from the 2.4 lt.

[@LadyDebM]

Hey, any updates on this?

[@daisysmith8215]

[@billyoconnell6669]

Amazing how Americans think an average of 28mpg is good fuel economy anything under 50mpg in Europe is considered bad .

[@_dmfd]

Our engines on average are considerably larger than EU models.

[@Hershy-pr7rp]

It's a nice car how much money 💰 is it

[@shamrahman7436]

Hershey Sperber it is too much money

[@Jxstvib1ng]

Hershey Sperber $25,700 😩

[@johnoliveira8975]

Do your homework before you talk about a car.

[@KirkSH52]

This guy failed to discuss the performance of this vehicle. This video is poor!

[@Smailkia]

Thanks for watching, KirkSH52! Our First Gear series is designed to be more of an exploration of a vehicle, like going to a dealership and taking a brief test drive. Maybe you'll find our Smail Ride Along series is more your speed! Check out our Optima episode here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epWTqWltnJKKg68

[@LocalAutosOnline]

Just keep the camera still... .there is no need to zoom in and out... ugh

[@johnanderson6810]

Well this guys clueless. I'd be sure not to buy anything from these clowns

[@abdulaliakbar1175]

John Anderson Why?

[@rubenbojorquez1]

Yes why....

[@neilm2794]

I especially liked how he kept pushing buttons 6 or 8 times that are simply on/off switches -- most people just need to push twice. He left the blind spot recognition off. Then when he started driving he was still checking what the controls on the console were, even though he just spent more than 10 minutes fooling with unimportant switches while the car was stopped.
