Bought new, Owned for 6 Years
Fuel Economy: 10.0 km/litre (10.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 800 km/month
Kia Optima GT 2.0L Turbo.
- 242hp, 350nm for below RM200k? Worth the price.
- Nice maroon colour semi bucket ventilated seat with a cooling and heating function, sunroof, flat bottom steering wheel, spacious cabin, wireless charger and android auto.
- Not many people dare to buy a Kia, hence it is quite RARE in Malaysia :D
- Topspeed of 250km/h.
- GT (Grand Tourer) means it was designed with both long-distance driving and high speeds in mind. Hence it is very comfortable for a long distance drive. Can go up to 650km to 700km for a single tank.
- Sexy design and spacious boot space.
- Not many after market accessories/performance parts available in Malaysia.
- Stock brake just don't match with the power. (Had to upgrade the brake system).
- Average sound system quality.
To Improve
- Kia (was still under Naza that time) just did not know how to market and sell this car properly. Lack of advertising and marketing.
- Since it is meant for long-distance driving, hence the cornering capability just moderate only.
Yes, I would recommend this car
