Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but I think we can all agree that the Kia Optima is far from ugly. The Ford Fusion, Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata should watch their backs. The engines are all four-cylinders (274-hp 2.0L turbo or a 2.4L with either 159 or 200 horsepower) and they are teamed up with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Furthermore, as for all Kia products, the excellent warranty provides invaluable reassurance.
