GT 2.0 T-GDI (2017)
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
