Disclosure: I was given this car to test-drive for one full week in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.
Hey, friends!
Today I’m back (with my hubby!) to talk about our test drive with the KIA Optima Hybrid Turbo. We were lucky enough to be able to test out this vehicle and then share our experience with you – and it’s really something that we enjoy doing together! So grab a seat, a hot cup of coffee and let’s talk cars!
Meet the 2014 Kia Optima, not your normal mid-size sedan. The exterior is stylish, the wheel design is unique and it drives smoother than any car I’ve ever driven. It’s fast – and definitely gives you that extra “umph” when driving. It’s got a four-cylinder engine and six speed automatic transmission. This car is just flat-out fun to drive.
The interior meets the exterior – gorgeous. It’s equipped with bluetooth, rear parking sensors, heated and cooled seats, push-button start, USB port, and more! I mean, just look at this gorgeous interior – no detail was spared.
My husband and father-in-law assisted in test driving and they both agreed that it drove beautifully, accelerated with ease, and made the overall driving experience an enjoyable one. The back seat was spacious and comfortable and the driver’s seat was fit for perfection. It was so incredibly comfortable!
Overall this car was pretty much my dream car. I loved the look of the exterior – it was fun and a little bit sporty, it definitely didn’t look like a regular run-of-the-mill mid-size sedan. And if given the chance (and the money) I would definitely be purchasing this vehicle! It definitely made running errands during the week a complete blast! I couldn’t wait to drive it everyday!
So, what do you think?
Would you drive this car?
I would totally test drive a Kia. Their vehicles have gotten a makeover over the years and they look so much better now. I drive a Dodge Grand Caravan but would go smaller once the kids leave. I need something with seating for 6+
OMG that car is a beauty! I’m still hunting for my first car (sadly I don’t even have my license yet!) and I won’t be able to get this car out of my mind. Love it! Thanks for the review. ๐
I’ve always loved the optima!! When I convince hubby its time to get me my own car, this is the one that I want!!
I love the kia optima! I’m so jealous of you.
Oh how I wish I could afford this car. It is beautiful and looks very comfortable. I would be afraid to test drive it because then I would really want it.
I LOVE how sleek this car is. I want it, seriously. I’ve also never seen a push to start, that is awesome! New dream car for sure!
I’m loving that car! I love the radio/dash area.
Looks luxurious and modern for sure. I would love any car compared to my truck.
Gorgeous car!
Gorgeous car!
KIA is such a luxurious car and easy to drive! It’s one of my favorites and I hope to get one, one day ๐
We LOVE our Kia Sportage and the new Optima looks awesome!!
That looks so awesome! I wish my van had that USB port feature!
Definitely would drive this car
SO sleek, I think I’m in love! We have been a one car family for years, and we are ready to bite the bullet and commit to another car. We will definitely add this to the top of our list to try out. THANKS for sharing!
Oh my goodness, it’s so cool that you got to test drive a car for your blog! Fangirl moment. This car looks swish – definitely one to consider when I upgrade to a family car in future.
The new Optima looks amazing! Would love to test drive!!
Cute car! How lucky to get to test drive it! ๐
How do you think this is for car seat installation?
I want a car with rear sensors SO badly!!!
That USB port is perfect for integrating your phone into car entertainment; plus, you can charge without needing the cigarette lighter converter!
this car looks amazing! love all the features ๐
Love the look of the car! Definitely looks like my kind of vehicle! ๐
I used to have some negative stigma towards Kias, and I don’t know why – I think I just thought they were cheap or whatever. But I’ve been driving a Kia for the last 4 years and it’s my baby! I love the car so much!
my best friend just bought the optima. she loves it!
I’m almost in the market for a car, and I’m trying to look at Kias because they seem so worth the money!

I am such a fan of Kia! We used to have a Sedona and I miss that van so much!
We almost got a Kia – it has a gorgeous interior, for sure! We ended up choosing something else, only for space. ๐
A beautiful ride for your family!
I love the look of the Kia, so sporty and sleek!
