      Great overall car!

      by Mase on Thursday, September 17, 2020

      Bought new in November 2016 ,love the styling and comfortable seats and roomy interior almost full size .Large trunk is great for family vacation. I have the ex model so I’m enjoying the leather heated seats in these Wisconsin winters and heated steering wheel. Only wish maybe a little more horsepower but the engine is quiet at 70 mph.Gas mileage is great mid 30 ‘s on the highway and around 28 in city. Have 64:000 miles and it has been trouble free.

      My 2nd KIA, I want a 3rd!

      by Fargo Dude on Monday, May 11, 2020

      Bought my first KIA; a Forte in 2013 and was hooked. Still upset I turned that one in after the lease period was up. Stepped up to my current KIA after that and have been very happy. My Grey 2016 Optima LX will never be a head turner. Although a good looking car, it is very similar to many of the rounded, low flying bodystyles of many of the medium sized sedans in its vintage. But for comfort, ride quality and value it is unbeatable! First.... and only, the con. Within a year or so of ownership I started to notice a rattling in the front suspension system. It was quite annoying and was only noticeable on rougher roads and bigger bumps. Turned out to be a loose upper strut nut had come loose. All were tightened under warranty and have had NO problems since. As to the Pros, I continue to be blown away by the quiet, solid and exceptionally smooth ride of the car. Originally from California, I drove the car to the Northern Plains over a 2 1/2 day trek thru Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and North Dakota. The cruise control holds speed well and the ride was absolutely dreamy while the cars tracking on the road has always been excellent. The transmission shifts flawlessly, both smooth and quiet. When the accelerator is smashed the engine revs appropriately and gets one into the passing lane efficiently although not sportingly. This car's cloth seating which has been surprisingly durable and easy to clean when necessary. I do wish the LX trim level included auto up/down windows throughout as only the drivers side includes auto down. Lastly, the trunk is cavernous. I can easily put 3 golf bags; 4 with a little work into the rear. It has gotten a family of four across state to many a tournament baseball game. Split folding seats come in handy when I need to get some bigger hardware home from Home Depot. Oh, one item I never quite got used to was the lack of a spare tire. Although I never needed it, the included electric air pump and tire gel always unnerved me at the thought of ever needing to use it. Don't let me forget to mention that KIA has one of (if not) the best warranties on the market. 10 year, 100,00 mile powertrain and 5 year, 60,000 mile basic warranty. In closing, I am a true KIA lover! I challenge you to match the trim level of competing automobile at the KIA price point. I have owned a Honda Civic, a Toyota Camry, a Nissan Stanza, a Ford Explorer and more recently a Chevy 1500 Silverado. My son now drives the Optima in college and upon returning home this spring a smile was once again put on my face when I got behind the wheel. I am currently shopping for another KIA for my soon to be second college student. I am really liking the new Forte, six-speed GT. Happy driving.

      Amazing First Car

      by Arthur on Saturday, August 12, 2023

      I purchased my Optima LX pre-owned with 36,000 miles on it when I was 17 years old -- my first ever car! It's a very comfortable car with generous cargo space, smooth steering, decent acceleration, impressive handling in "Sport" mode, and a great sound system. Because I only have the LX, the car lacks a lot of features that I believe were already standard in 2016 base models of other makes: no Carplay / Android Auto, blind spot sensors, proximity sensors, or crash prevention technology. If I had owned a more "modern" car prior to my Optima, this lack of features would probably have docked a point from my review, but it does just as well for my purposes. This car is surprisingly capable in all sorts of terrains, including the dreaded New England snow and sleet, mud patches, and uneven grassy turf. Snowy roads can be a bit slippery, but I suspect that has more to do with my tires of choice than the actual car; with that being said, the traction and stability control of the Optima is a force to be reckoned with and one that has yet to fail me (knock on wood). The Kia Optima has a special place in my heart and I hope to keep her around for at least five more years before upgrading to the K5. I would buy another Optima in a heartbeat if they hadn't "evolved" it into the K5! So far, I've been without any major mechanical problems (although the VCM motor failed about 10,000 miles ago, which would have been an $800 repair if not for the extended insurance package I had purchased with the car). I'd recommend the Optima to anybody looking for an affordable and reliable vehicle.

    Brand New Ford Inventory near

    Although finding the perfect Ford can seem daunting at first, Santa Monica Ford Lincoln has compiled an easy-to-read list of Ford favorites so that you can quickly understand more about the coolest new Ford trucks, SUVs, and cars we carry in stock. Read on to find out which Ford fits you best!

    New Ford Sedans

    Ford has streamlined what sedan lovers prefer into just one new vehicle: the one and only Mustang.

    • Mustang - Iconic and legendary as ever before, the new Mustang comes with the latest technology, safety, and innovations.

    New Ford SUVs

    SUVs are always highly sought after. No matter your size preference, Ford has you covered.

    • Bronco - Removable doors, dedicated trail modes, and attachable tents are just a few of the amazing features that make the new Bronco a full-sized icon for off-roading.
    • Bronco Sport - As the Bronco's compact counterpart, the Bronco Sport still comes with 4x4, a safari-style roof to fit bikes in the back, and so much more.
    • Edge - This four-door, five-passenger SUV is a refined experience. A quiet cabin, a smooth ride, and an integrated Wi-Fi system are some of its many benefits.
    • Escape - As a remake of a popular model, the Escape enjoys an incredible exterior that offers unmatched appeal and style while offering all the amenities in the Edge.
    • Explorer - With plenty of seating for the whole family, the Explorer is a two-row SUV with incredible looks and bold power. It has plenty of space for cargo, with a roof rack and trailer hitch for hauling your favorite gear.
    • Expedition - Ford's full-bodied counterpart to the Explorer. The Expedition is largely known for its maximum performance and horsepower, large cargo space, and higher towing capacity of 9,200 pounds.

    New Ford Trucks

    Ford truck owners around the country know that when you depend on your truck for livelihood, travel, or just style, there's no better name than Ford.

    • Maverick - A fun-sized truck with a 7,500-lb capacity for towing, the Maverick is perfect for tailgating, weekly commutes, and weekend adventures!
    • Ranger - An all-new modern exterior, an impressive 26 mpg highway, and an available twin-turbocharged V6 Raptor package make the Ranger a force to be reckoned with.
    • F-150 - The most legendary Ford truck in existence offers a fully modern exterior, tech-packed interior, and a 13,000-lb towing capacity that begs you to explore the country or handle any large task.
    • Super Duty - For those who depend on their truck for work or who want sheer power, the Super Duty is always the truck of choice.

    New Ford EV and Hybrids

    Ford offers an extremely competitive lineup of each of your favorite models, except electrified and hybrid, to help reduce emissions.

    • Mach-E - The Mustang reimagined into an SUV. The Mach-E's all-electric nature allows for 312 miles on a single charge, goes from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds flat in the GT, and is available in four distinct trims.
    • F-150 Lightning - Also available in four trims, the Lightning offers 11 power outlets, 7,700 pounds of towing, has off-road ability, and can even act as a home backup power source during power outages.
    • F-150 Hybrid - Seating for six, an impressive 400 - 450 hp, gasoline and electric, and a 4WD system with rock crawling ability.
    • Maverick Hybrid - Fuel-efficient 2.5L hybrid powertrain with 10 tie-downs and a 110V power outlet for tailgating.
    • Escape Hybrid - With your choice of ST-Line Elite or Plug-in Hybrid, the Escape Hybrid offers a navigation system, a huge 13.2" LCD touchscreen, and a power lift gate for easy access.
    • Explorer Hybrid - 3.3L hybrid engine that has a respectable 5,000-lb towing capacity, leather seating, and a vertical 10.1" LCD touchscreen.
    • E-Transit - Offers three body lengths, three roof height choices, is 100% electric powered, and has 40 percent fewer maintenance costs than a gas-powered van.
