6-Speed Automatic Transmission There are several reasons why it is important to test drive a vehicle before buying it:
Comfort: A test drive allows you to get a feel for the comfort and ergonomics of the vehicle. You can see how the seats feel, how easy it is to reach the controls, and how well the vehicle handles on the road.
Performance: A test drive allows you to evaluate the performance of the vehicle. You can see how it accelerates, how it handles turns, and how it feels on the highway.
Visibility: A test drive allows you to check the visibility from the driver's seat. You can see how well you can see out of the front, sides, and rear of the vehicle.
Features: A test drive allows you to try out the features of the vehicle, such as the audio system, navigation system, and other electronics.
Peace of mind: A test drive allows you to make sure that the vehicle is the right fit for you before you commit to buying it. This can give you peace of mind and help you feel more confident in your decision.
Overall, a test drive is an important step in the process of buying a vehicle, as it allows you to evaluate the comfort, performance, visibility, features, and overall suitability of the vehicle. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Great video do more of these test drive videos Mike
Great review, getting a lot feedback from your reviews I like both cause in depth look at everything
Great info on the first video, taught me a lot about Kia
Nice first drive, Mike! I truly enjoy these types of videos! I really like how you describe the features that the car offers. While, still providing an entertaining, and REAL driving experience! This video will be very helpful to many people in the market for a Kia Optima SX Turbo! Keep up the great work, Mike! 👌

I just got pulled over running 155mph on my kia optima sxt lol rip, i thought i was running 80
Nice Job 👍🏻
Sounds like a smooth ride
Melvin Jefferson, yep it is a smooth ride, very luxurious.
Love your videos!! Keep up the great work!!
Have been looking at this car and waiting for Kia Stinger to come out. I drive 60 miles a day and the road noise is horrible in my current vehicle. Was surprised that your portion on the highway seemed loud as well on camera? Cabin noise definitely high on the priority list in my next vehicle.
Lori Greene You will have to drive it for yourself to get a feel for the noise. I purchased a 2017 Optima Hybrid and depending on the surface of the road you hear some noise but I did realize that the volume at which I have a conversation is lower than the 2014 hybrid I had. Listening to the presenter in this video he is not speaking loud as his perception of noise isn't as high as what the microphone is picking up.
You might have noticed you are not hearing the engine note and in the portions where he is not speaking, you can hear more noise because the gain on the mic is up a bit. I posted a driving video of my hybrid using a cheap mic into an iPhone and the noise sounds higher than what I recall in the car. I typically drive with the radio set at 5 and can hear it quite well, in the other car, I would have to be at 15 to overcome the wind noise.
The 2016+ Optima's have better insulation, more so on the higher level trim. I think the Stinger will be a lot better, along the lines of what the luxury cars it's targeting has. I like these types of videos, keep up the work Mike.
i love this car
Videos are cool! but when your doing a walk around and review of the vehicle. Do more revs of the Engine and more testing the audio system. I like the test drive videos because it gives me an overview of the car and how it will handle day to day traveling.
Thanks for your feedback Tim :)
Very nice drive but it would be fun if you can do speed tests like. 0-100, how fast the car brakes from 100 km, compare with other cars for the same price range or other thx
good videos. would of liked more feedback about the unique features like the cooled seats and heated steering wheel.
My favorite car!

I liked the video a lot. Was wondering about the ride quality the whole time though, I don't think that you touched on it at all.
At the end of the video, he said it was a comfortable ride. The ride quality is top notch though (I have an '18).
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). It is standard on Optima, so accidental auto hold release wouldn't be a problem anyway. Unless you're going backwards 😑
Great videos Mike! Really like these POV test drives. I am assuming you have different specifications in your contracts with these dealerships with test drives? So that's why you've only been test driving at MBKia? Love the vids.
Yes they were nice enough to allow me to test drive the cars recently. The other dealers might come around eventually :)
I hope so!
Nice video! Quick question though, do you have to put on that auto hold everytime you come to a complete stop or does the Optima auto hold when you are come to a complete stop providing the feature is on?
As long it is turned on it will work. Thanks for watching :)
My brother, Soal, in Hawai, people in Beulunu, the system for fixing the speed of the sorrento, the high road bug is not effective, I mean with the intention of smelling the sorrento, but when walking in it with high speed and maneuvering in the highways, there is no determination or correct stability. Is the words and advice?
nice video, but not a fan of the headmounted camera ...
Nice vid, keep doing these. You guys don't have keep right except to pass laws down there?
In NC/SC vehicles below the normal speed of traffic keep in right lanes.
If everyone stayed in the right lane that it would be a traffic nightmare.
MikesCarInfo we have the reverse issue in Canada. ppl stay in the middle and right lane doing the same speed so it screws everything up. Was just curious :)

Mike what's the road noise like, it seems a little noisy from the camera
+silkynitro It was about average level of noise for these roads. The camera amplifies everything :)
I'm going for 2019 sxl love the 215 sxl HP but 2019 is 245 HP with all futures love 2019 sxl
SXL has 274 HP not 215 or 245
@@oleglog6927 only on the 2013-2015 models
Mike! Can you do a review of the 2018 kia optima sxl? I can't find the difference between the 2017 and the 2018. Thanks!
I would also suggest for you to maybe connect an android and Iphone to see how the infotainment function when paired
MackyG the only difference between the 2017 and 2018 Optima SXL is that the 2018 has LED foglights, and they removed the Wireless Qi Charger for 2018. Other than that, everything else is the same. I have the 2018.
@@MalamIbnMalam do any of them have Lane keep assist?
@@JWard2 yes, the 2019+ Optimas come with LKA standard on all trim levels. Prior to that, 2016-2018 only had LKW (Lane Keep warning) but no assistance on the EX, SX/SX-L.
@@MalamIbnMalam thank you
AM CONCERNED ABOUT ENGINE/ VIBRATIONNOISE LEVEL IN THE INTEROR WHILE DRIVING!!
PETER ANTHONY CALM DOWN!!! IT'S QUIET AND PLEASURABLE!!! SOME WOULD SAY SERENE!!
Hmmmm....so you never stomped the gas pedal and see what the car can do, I've fell asleep in a Tesla and it took me home.
4k resolution to watch this guy babble
Funny, how can you watch me when I am not in the video?
no comment la
2017 Kia Optima(2.4L) vs 2017 Mazda 6(2.5L)
Thank you for input.
Not surprised the Kia would be popular as it has very compliant suspension more along the lines of an Audi compared to the Mazda. The Kia is also much quieter inside.
Thank you
No problem i was looking at one when i bought my Liberty/Legacy 3.6R but i wanted the 6 cylinder engine so went with the Subaru in the end.
you should be a shame of yourself test driving a turbo engine on an open highway, doing the exact speed limit and or setting the cruise! Horrible..You have a turbo engine, you should open it up. at least a .25 mile just to show us the power.
+Marilynn's Corner I think you have a point ;)
Of course, I do Mike! It's a turbo for heaven's sake. Don't be such an old man behind the wheel...lol
Too much rambling. Get to the point.
The "point" of the video was not to hear me talk but to hear and see the car drive.
