2016 Kia Optima SX Limited Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Kias used to be cheap cars. But Kia works even harder to improve its products than sister company Hyundai does, and for 2013 began offering its Optima midsize sedan in upscale "SX Limited" form.

2013 Kia Optima SXL Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The middle of just about anything is inherently boring. With cars, small and large, low and tall--all have their visceral attractions. In comparison, midsize sedans just take up space, with nothing notable about them in any particular direction. But many people's needs are best met by a midsize sedan. And... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Fusion |
