LX Turbo Is the One to Get - 2016 Kia Optima Long-Term Road Test
For the 2016 Kia Optima, we'd recommend getting the LX Turbo trim level for its blend of features and ride comfort.

As I get older I really don't need the highest HP engine anymore and I was just commenting yesterday (again) to my wife about the TERRIBLE roads that seem to be everywhere. 16" wheels are definitely the way to go anymore; besides, I like to buy aftermarket wheels to suit my taste.
I think I am going to look at the construction season a bit differently this summer.
But am I the only person that seems to get car values stuck in their heads from when they first started driving? I'll give you an example. When I saw the $27K price listed for the Optima, I immediately flashed back to my parents buying a 1993 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado extended cab, SWB, 5.7 Liter V8, fully loaded (except for leather) for just under $22K AFTER tax, title, & license. Back then, that was a HUGE price for a truck. It's hard to believe that 1, that's been over 20 years ago, and 2, that inflation has hit us that hard. I KNOW the 27K is about right, but I don't FEEL it's right. Y'all got me?
