The front seats can be individually heated or cooled depending on the temperature needs of your tush. There’s also a large leather bench in the back. Just get in the car press the button for setting 1 or 2 to reconfig the driver’s seat to your personal preference, and just like Goldilocks, it will feel just right. The driver’s seat can be adjusted electronically and then the settings can be saved in case you have 2 drivers. Opening the door reveals a roomy interior with leather bucket seats in the front. It has sparkles in the paint like an opal, so it shimmers in the light. I have to say though that the White used on the Optima is really nice. I always thought White was a really boring choice of car color. I’d never considered buying a White car in the past.
My partner has a 2007 KIA Sorento that she really likes and my Dad just bought a brand new 2012 KIA Sorento that just happens to be the same color as this KIA Optima that I’m writing about – Snow Pearl White. It’s interesting to note that my family owns 2 KIAs. I never really knew that KIA offered a luxury mid-sized sedan. I’ll admit that the KIA Optima hasn’t been on my radar though. I can understand how it won because it’s a nice looking car. Among the other winners are Apple’s 13” MacBook Air and HTC’s EVO mobile phone. More than four thousand products entered the competition in 2011. The Red Dot is an international competition that has been recognizing innovative styling and inspiring design since 1955. The only other vehicle to receive this award in 2011 was the new BMW 5-Series. The 2011 KIA Optima is a winner of the Best Red Dot Design Award. I’m going to approach this review from more of a styling and overall driving experience angle. If you’re expecting a highly detailed article about engine performance, gas mileage specs, etc, you won’t get it here.
