TO THE POINT
What’s New? The 2006.5 Kia Optima is completely redesigned, with a new four-cylinder engine, a roomier interior, and much better ride and handling characteristics.
Selling Points: Value, styling, ride quality, handling, warranty
Deal Breakers: Flaccid seats, weak V6 engine option, disappointing fuel economy
Our Advice: Since the 2006.5 Kia Optima competes in one of the most popular segments of the market, it’s likely that you can drive a great deal on this new midsize sedan. And since the sticker price is already low, that means Kia might carve out a niche for the attractive new Optima.

Rear seat comfort is average for the class. Tall passengers can sit in back without their legs touching the front seatbacks, but the 2006.5 Kia Optima doesn’t offer cross-your-legs comfort unless Shorty is driving. There’s a fold-down armrest in back, good thigh support, and decent foot room. Getting in and out of the rear seat is also pretty easy, which cannot be said for many midsize sedans.
