What Edmunds Says

The Optima trails its Japanese competitors when it comes to overall polish, but those seeking a stylish, well-equipped family sedan for less than $20K will find this Kia appealing.

Pros

Excellent warranty, pleasant highway ride, lots of features for the price.

Cons

Noisy four-cylinder engine, some cheap interior bits, ABS isn't available on four-cylinder models.

What's New for 2004

The Kia Optima receives only minor revisions for the 2004 model year. The grille has been revised, 16-inch wheels are now standard on V6 models and the alloy wheels on the EX (last year's SE) have been redesigned. Finally, an in-glass antenna replaces the old power mast style unit from last year, but only on the EX and the LX with the optional cassette/CD audio system.
