Default Opinions Needed: 2012 Kia Optima

Hello!

I'm helping my mom with a new car purchase and I have her looking at the Kia Optima, basically because it looks great, has a great warranty and is cheaper than the competition.

Besides the surface level stuff, does anyone have any real world experience with the top of the line turbo or hybrid? What do you think about the vehicle? Problems? Etc.

She has a 2009 Honda Accord coupe right now, which suffers from road noise. But other than that, it's been a great vehicle. Thanks ahead of time!

The new Optima has been a top seller for us since it came out as an early 2011. The 2012s are pretty much unchanged except they are assembled in Georgia instead of Korea. I’ve only seen a couple of cars w/ problems & they were unrelated & fixed quickly w/o further issues. We haven’t received a hybrid yet. The hybrid is still assembled in Korea & there’s a lawsuit pending against Kia for the use of the technology. I have personally owned a 2011 non-turbo for a year. I haven’t any problems & love the car.
