The 2007 Kia Optima: before you buy
No 2007 Kia Optima is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2007 Kia Optima is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Optima
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 167 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, exterior lighting and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
The 2.4L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Rated at 9.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 28 litres for a 300 km round trip. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $14.57. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The Optima in everyday use
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 396 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Rent it for a week first
Try the Optima on your commute, then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2007 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
