Refi ned and comfortable “It’s a really nice car, European in feel,
refi ned and comfortable, and I am very impressed. As well as being reasonably priced, it is more inspiring than some of the other offerings in the sector, and with residual values looking like they will be relatively strong, it’s all positive.” MATTHEW CURTIS,
Senior Pricing Analyst, Lex Autolease 14 | FLEET EUREKA | kia.co.uk Premium in feel “I really like it. The Optima is a very
well presented car, with materials that are premium in feel, the steering is direct, I like the way it sits on the road, interior space is good, head, leg and shoulder room are ample and it really competes with the cars it is up against.” LINDA ELLIOTT, Sales Manager, Carlians Vehicle Contracts
