    Nice video! I have a 2011 Optima with the panoramic sunroof, heated seats, and Infinity sound system. The engine needed replacing and I’m really happy Kia was able to do it free of charge because I wasn’t ready to let this one go. It’s an absolute joy to drive and everyone loves the look of it. The design really stands the test of time!

      See that's what I like to hear, I'm so glad Kia took care of the new engine. Thank you for your comment and for watching my channel.

      @@CruiseControl1 agreed!! Everyone has recalls, including blown engines. It's not the recall that should put you off from a brand, but how the manufacturer handles the recall!

    I've had my 2011 Kia Optima since 2012 and I still love it! Wish they weren't so easy to steal 🥴 just got mine back recently. But even when looking around for a new car, I didn’t see anything I liked more than mine! Wish I did have a sunroof and more features however. I really got lucky because when I purchased it, I knew nothing about the reliability or safety. Just liked the price and the look!

    I’m looking to get my first car. Looking to buy a used Kia, think I’m set on the Optima. For as old as it is, it seems to be an excellent car, plus it’s actually pretty cute to look at

    • @CruiseControl1
      @CruiseControl1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great looking car and it should make a good first car. I would recommend having it inspected by a mechanic before buying one and definitely stay on top of oils changes every 3,000 miles.

    I was thinking about buying a 150k mile used Optima from a used lot.
    After learning about mileage and engine failure issues I'll definitely not be making that purchase. Thanks for the review!
    A lot of Optimas in this yr range on the used market right now and I would guess the engine issue may be a common reason there are so many floating around between $8k and 10k🤦🏻‍♂️

    • @CruiseControl1
      @CruiseControl1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would have one looked at by an independent mechanic to make sure it’s in good shape before buying one.

    I have a 2011 Optima with 112k miles and it has never had a engine burp. Synthetic 5w-20 oil with Kia (OEM) oil filter every 4-5k miles. Does anyone believe the engine failures are from debris left in engine during mfg? Seems that I've heard of 2016-2019 with engine failures too, So what is it?

    These Optimas weren't bad looking definitely stole the Ford Taurus styling which made Kia relevant from the ugly cheap styled junk they made prior to 2011.
