Drivers interested in looking smart, as well as paying smart, would be smart to check out Kia's core mid-size sedan, the Optima. It offers a sporty stylishness with space and fuel economy drivers will appreciate.

The responsive 2.7-liter, DOHC V6 engine with available 5-speed Sportmatic automatic transmission offers a fun ride and impressive maneuverability that's rare in a mid-size sedan. Safety features include 6 airbags, front active headrests, available Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Other available features include an automatic temperature control, advanced seat design for easy access, power adjustable pedals, 8-way adjustable driver's seat and leather seating to comfortably accommodate drivers of all sizes.

And of course, few features bring more comfort than Kia's unbeatable 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty and Roadside Assistance program.

The driver who's looking for a smart value with style instead of a mere status symbol will find his needs most optimally met in the Kia Optima.
