Miles Overview
The 2012 Optima is Kia's mid-size sedan, a stylish alternative to the Camry and Accord that brought real design flair to the class. The Optima handles with a sporty feel, and even the base engine gives you enough punch for everyday driving. Inside, you get a well-designed cabin with comfortable seats and a trunk that's surprisingly generous for the car's size. Some owners mention the factory tires wear out quickly, and the black paint shows scratches easily, so plan for that. The LX is the value pick in the Optima lineup, giving you the same sharp styling as the pricier EX without the extra cost for convenience upgrades. Its 2.4L I4 makes 200 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, which is enough for confident merging and returns 28 mpg combined in mixed driving.
