Your evaluation of the Optima is exactly what I thought after test driving an EX. Damn nice car - especially in its price class. I love the European styling and the side vent grills are a great accent.
Odd that they don't have it as standard now, I figured they would. The Forte is a nice little car as well, especially the sport version. When I was looking for a new car, I was 95% sure I was picking up another BMW but the more research I done on Kia the more I thought I should at least give it a test drive just to rule it out, how wrong was I! The sales guy didn't even talk much during the test drive, he just let the car do the talking, no hard sell at all, we got back and I took off home but I knew from there I was going to get it. BMW salesman called me 4x per day, changing the price, each time telling me it was his best offer, I told him I was going for an Optima and he got so pissed off with me and hung up the phone.
