What to know about the 2002 Kia Optima

If you are looking at the 2002 Kia Optima, here is what the figures say.

Reading the spec sheet

The 2.4L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter. With a manual gearbox, you change gears yourself.

It is rated 11.2 L/100 km combined: about 34 litres every 300 km. City driving is rated 12.4 L/100 km and highway driving 9.0. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $173.60.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Inside and out

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Trips in the Optima

Each car shows the kilometres included each day and the rate for extra ones. For a trip out of Ontario, ask first: it needs our written consent. Return the car with the same fuel it had at pickup.

Rent this car

We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.

What we ask of drivers

Drivers need to be 18 or over, holding an Ontario G2 or G licence for the whole rental. Young drivers, under 26, can rent too, with a fee for each day. A credit card in your name is needed, except on cars marked "no credit card needed", which take debit.

If your own policy has OPCF 27 or your card covers rental cars, use that; otherwise add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. Each extra driver is checked the same way and signs the rental agreement.

Booking, step by step

Pick the car and the dates that suit you, then send a request. There is no payment at that point. Someone on our team confirms the car is free for those dates and sends you an offer with every charge listed. Approve the offer to book the car. That is the moment you pay, not before.

The car pages show each car's rates, deposit and kilometres included. Bookings run from one day up to 365 days at a time. At least 2 hours must separate the request from the pickup.

Talk to a person

Tell us your dates and where you want the car, and we will do the rest.
