For those who might have an outdated view of Kia, this is the kind of vehicle they're making now. This is the 2011 Optima.

I just got my wife a Mazda CX-7 and really like it. Turbo-Charged 4 cylinder really goes fast! It's very comfortable for a 6'5'' guy and was very reasonable in price for the crossover market.

Well we ended up buying a 2011 Sorento. I will say I was skeptical going in, but was impressed with the vehicle. It rides like a dream and you cant beat the standard safety features. 30 mpg is nice on the highway. It came standard equiped with rear sensors along with a back up camera. They also gave me $3000 over blue book for my Charger, which was a huge selling point along with a $2000 rebate, which almost wiped out any negative equity we had. Overall I am impressed with the Sorento so far. Ill try to get some pics posted as soon as my wife lets me near it. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

These actaully are better looking in person. I looked at a few, but was set on the SUV route.

Looks are one thing. Reality is another.

Anyone over 5'8" can tell you that car was built ridiculously too small.

Driving is interesting considering the "panoramic" roof drops the ceiling 2 inches...which means your head is jammed against the ceiling while your knees are stuck on both sides of the steering wheel.

Your knees end up in your face and your head ends up in the ceiling if you even attempt to maneuver into the backseat.

The Sorento is a much better choice over the Optima!
