The 2010-2011 Kia Optima is expected

As far as automotive brands go, South Korea's Kia has not yet acquired the sterling reputation common in other Asian brands, namely Honda and Toyota. Though part of the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group which is the fourth largest car manufacturer in the world, Kia has long played second fiddle to Hyundai, a brand who has managed to successfully transform its own image remarkably over the past decade.

After reviewing the 2010 Kia Optima Engine Options, most buyers have actually opted for the smaller 2.4 Liter V4 engine simply because of slightly better fuel economy. While the acceleration is improved on the 2.7 Liter V6, the difference has proven not to be significant enough to entice buyers into having lesser miles to the gallon. Either choice is appropriate and is more than enough to make the car an adequately enjoyable driving experience.
