TO THE POINT
What’s New? The 2006.5 Kia Optima is completely redesigned, with a new four-cylinder engine, a roomier interior, and much better ride and handling characteristics.
Selling Points: Value, styling, ride quality, handling, warranty
Deal Breakers: Flaccid seats, weak V6 engine option, disappointing fuel economy
Our Advice: Since the 2006.5 Kia Optima competes in one of the most popular segments of the market, it’s likely that you can drive a great deal on this new midsize sedan. And since the sticker price is already low, that means Kia might carve out a niche for the attractive new Optima.
