I prefer US cars wit freedom engines (>1 gal. displacement), but new car is always good, congrats!
HandoB4Javert
Financed it or cash?
henriquesantosbr
probably sex work
logiteck12
Good for you men , looks nice , enjoy it!
DaltonReep
I would never buy a new car, but it's a good choice congrats
Squossifrage
Why not?
Ftryux
Why a KIA? Buying a KIA is kind of like saying to everyone that you already given up on life.
vrflyer
Should have gone with a better brand, that's my .10 cents. As long as your happy with it OP is what counts in the end.

I just traded out of my 2013 optima. Was fun for a while but it was not worth the money. 2014 Jetta TDI never looking back.
G0MeatCube
Why did you buy this particular car, you should have bought a different particular car cuz my opinion.

Lately Kia cars are pretty awesome.
OSCgal
I should ask my brother (mechanic) how Kias are for maintenance costs these days. Last I knew: "nice, reliable, costly to fix."
aaronthe7
looks good.
FarceMajeure
Trying really hard lately to adult enough to buy a used car off craigslist, but my pay is crap.

That's a nice car. Grats1

I like it. It's one of the lowest cost of ownership cars for company I work for. Surprisingly we spend tons on Toyota and Audi.
slimbender
For the frst 75k miles, then it becomes one of the most expensive, relative to the initial cost, to maintain. Scion/Toyota do best long term

Yeah, my brother wouldn't let me buy a used Kia b/c high maintenance cost: when things break, they're hard to access for replacement.
yourcalllightisalreadyinyourhand
true that. bf dumped about $3500 into his car between 100K & 130K miles. then kia rio murdered a deer & wasn't worth saving.
yourcalllightisalreadyinyourhand
original purchase price was $10K.
arminphx
I know the overall statistics but I manage a fleet of 300 cars and keep them for the first 2 years of their life. Kia/Hyundai just cost less
OSCgal
That's the issue. They're cheap at first. My brother (mechanic) claims that stuff under the hood that needs regular service is hard to 1/2
OSCgal
access, which drives up the cost of labor. 2/2
arminphx
I can see how that would be an issue for a long term ownership.

Congratulations on adulting today OP. +1. And a nice looking set of wheels

I hope you mean new for you. The best value is 2-4 years old.
Squossifrage
Depends how you finance it. If you buy it cash or take out a mortgage instead of a car loan, it's cheaper in the long run.
ScrawnyAssling
Does Kia still do that buy one car get another one free deal?

Congrats!!

Congratulations, but as a mechanic I feel morally obligated to tell you kiss don't count as cars.

A Kia is kind of a lateral move from the bus :P

In the course of a year, I got a Minimum wage job. Was let go, got another. Saved up for school. Became a CNA, saved up and bought (1)

My first "new car" lol also paid off credit cards and debts etc. I busted my ass for what I have now. (2/2)

You have to have sex in it, to make it officially yours.

AnatolianTiger
And that's why, you buy a fucking new car. If you has da $$$.
plouffi
Isn't there a superstition that if you have sex in a new car, something bad will happen to it? Happened to me twice. Within 24 hours.
bachterman
and then, install interior uv lights.

Is it allowed to involve money?

That would probably be the most adult way.

Wow, just when I thought my life was at it lowest, I realize I've never owned a car...

2016 Kia Optima
ErdogantheFalafelMan
Does it have the 7 year full coverage warranty as kia has in Europe?
sadquesadilla
I have a 2003 Kia optima o: can we be optibuddies?
mmmArdbeg
Thats a good looking car. And a very good looking Kia. Nice!
sendbobsandvegana
Did you spring for the hybrid? I got all the way from Fayetteville, AR to Knoxville, TN on one tank of gas in my 14 Optima hybrid. Loved it.
technitium
Get some sick rims fam. Those stock lookin little dry
Baconwizard
It's a sweet car I gotta say. The stock stereo is very nice
julianwong811
For some reason, the front just reminds me of a Subaru Impreza. Still, congrats for getting a new car.
Sfinski
People really buy brand new cars... My newest one was 12 years old...
roarbot
Warrentys are the reason. My newest car was 15 years old, my truck is 29 years old, and they don't fare well commuting ~100 miles a day.
AlmightyyCres
I'm working towards a sonata limited myself. Hopefully by October I'll have it I'm so excited lol

BTW +1 love the car!

Optimas are the shit! I rented one with literally 8 miles on it, brought it back with 3k. Best road trip ever. Congrats!

Did you drive to Hawaii?

At least you have a solid phone.

Is it paid off yet?

Looooove my Optima! Granted, it's a 2013 but lurve it. My best friend has a 2016 he recently got. Congrats on adulting!

i recently got a 2ndhanded 2013 optima and its the best thing EVER. Its also a hybrid so i can yell "eat my hybrid dust" as i speed by.
eotty
Nice got a 2015 cee'd and picked my 2017 volvo v60 last friday. New cars are fun. Enjoy
SanKa13
Does it look nice in the inside as it looks nice on the outside? How does it drive?

Way to go. It's a snazzy car.

Doesnt beat my 1991 Daihatsu Charade

I have an 09 Daihatsu Sirion - my first car! Shame they stopped selling in the UK, the engine is absolutely bulletproof

It does for me because I live in America where we don't have Dauhatsu

I had a 84 manual, no AC. That was a fun shitty car

That's what my car is! I have a waaaay older model though...

Someone update me, are Kias no longer terrible? I'm going to need a bit of convincing.

Lexus makes Kia.

Wrong, Hyundai makes Kia

Oh, whoops. Toyota and lexus are together. I get the foreign ones mixed up

My optima 2013 tends to be the fastest car on the parking lot. 2012 seems to be when they got their shit together
catsandbeerandbeerandcats
I've got a 2010 Forte. Bought '12. I get roughly 675km hwy on a $45 tank. Only issues I've had are the rear brakes. 10/10 would buy again
FacelessFiend
Kia has really stepped it up the past few years. You get a lot more for your money as well.
IamCommanderShepardAndThisIsMyFavouriteStoreOnTheCitadel
Don´t know about US market models but Eu models are good. Latest surveys showed that Kias are more reliable than hyundais for some reason.
SharkoutofWata
Optima Turbo can outrun a SRT Challenger and is more stable in the wet than a BMW 750i at the same speed on the back roads. Very fun car
SharkoutofWata
Might (has to be) be the drivers though. But it's still a very solid car performance wise and comfort wise.
HotPeaSoup
But how about fuel economy?
SharkoutofWata
22mpg with turbo always on and no fucks given about economy. 30 when driving like a sensible person.
Sereus
Do they still have the 10 year 100k mile warranty promo?
Chronokiller
Not a promotion per say. It's their power train warranty for all new vehicles. Kia and Hyundai.
ManicYEEtPressive
Get a BMW, with that beautiful 50k top to bottom warranty then trade it in at 48k miles, cuz it' ll fall apart right afterwards.
Pafolo
Can't go wrong with a BMW best cars around if you like sporty feel and nice interiors. Plus tons of tech.

(But might have been a short time but idk) did it keep its value?
