National - 2012 Kia Optima Ride Report/Review

FCAR
24/35 mpg

One of the best looking family sedans, IMO. But some serious drawbacks that would make me think twice about renting again.

Thanks for the review. For driver space (headroom and windshield visibility, shoulder room, and legroom), where does it fit in line with say a Malibu, Regal, Impala, and Charger?

The blind spots can't be worse than a 2009-era Charger - I almost killed two different people in one ten minute ride in Phoenix with that thing.

I thought that legroom and shoulder room were generous, overall forward/side visibility good, but rear passenger headroom was bothersome.

However, ElmhurstNick, I believe you're bigger than I am, so you'd have to sit in it to be certain.
