Is the 2020 Kia Optima SX the BEST midsize PERFORMANCE sedan VALUE?

People are really starting to change their view about Kia. One car that is helping to make that happen is the Kia Optima SX. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 245 HP and mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. It's exterior is sport without being over the top. On the inside you will find an interior that looks like it is from a more expensive car. Is the 2020 Kia Optima SX the best midsize performance sedan value?

Even the more powerful first gen Optima with 272hp was only 6.2 secs. Maybe the 2020 is just that much quicker though. I hope so.

this is a nice clean money / management vehicle all the string to impress girl all the braun to just be boy . $33,000 -with no incentive ( free tyre change, service, insurance etc ) in management employment over 3 + years is a good deal : boy or girl in tow growing up inheriting the styling choice . I would only add a colour match spoiler but that's me

You probably had 87 gas in the Optima, which makes a big difference. I'd love to put the Optima SX against the Accord 2.0T. Had the Accord 2.0T in the family, but from my experience the Optima moves very well. I think it would be an interesting race, especially from a roll. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmm8pqygpZWqmLs

Honda probably since they make better performance engines

Why did KIA just kill off the Optima? I don't understand why they just do that?

The current Optima and the 2021 Optima with the 280hp both cannot out perform the 2019/2020 Accord Sport 2.0T.
