The Kia Optima is one of the sleepers out there in our world, although the brand is quietly attracting fans. Like the rest of the Kia lineup, the Optima offers tremendous value--without asking its occupants to make many sacrifices.

I've been telling you peoples!
No manual 
In reply to trigun7469:
I can't speak for the KIA in particular, but I often find that turbo engines and automatic transmissions are like chocolate and peanut butter. If they took the time to tune this AT to accentuate the character of a properly tuned turbo engine, it's a net positive.
Do the Koreans do that? I have no idea.

I've been saying the same. Kia has some really good products.
As for a manual, on a car like this--a family car with a nice turbo setup--I'm cool with the auto.
What is the price as tested? That is some fancy looking leather
