Full Review
Optima(l) comfort with a bit of thrill: The 2.4L Kia Optima is a great sedan rental or lease option for those who want to do better than an economy car, but still don't want to break their budget. The car comes with a full roster of options like cruise control and bluetooth, and also includes nice performance features like bucket seats and paddle-shifters.
