What Edmunds Says

The Optima trails its Japanese competitors when it comes to performance and interior accommodations, but remains a decent buy for those seeking a stylish, well-equipped family sedan for less than $20,000.

Pros

Low price, pleasant highway ride, refined V6, lots of storage space, excellent warranty.

Cons

Noisy four-cylinder engine, tepid handling, some cheap interior bits, tight rear legroom, ABS isn't available on four-cylinder models.
