My 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid has 115,000 miles and runs great. I still need to handle the recall for an odd steering noise when turning left.

My 2013 EX has 136,000 miles. No mechanical issues, but the paint is a bit weak. I plan to wrap it soon.

How much did you pay, and how many miles did it have when you got it? I’m shopping for one and curious about prices.

My 2012 EX has 156,000 miles. No major issues, but I’ve dealt with small things like steering column replacement, a head gasket, and some other minor annoyances. No engine or transmission problems yet.

There was a small leak at 130,000 miles. I’m not sure if it was legit or if the dealership was upselling, but I had it replaced.

I have a 2013 SXL with 94,000 miles. I’ve had minor issues like the alternator, starter, and backup camera. Overall, I love the car and plan to keep it for a long time.

I’ve got 50,000 kilometers on mine, and the AC pump recently went out. The dealership covered half the cost.

It cost $1,000 total, but I only paid $500 after negotiating with the dealership.

I’ve owned my 2008 Kia Optima V6 for 12 years. It’s at 140,000 miles and has been incredibly reliable. Just routine oil changes and a recent axle replacement.
