In what way is the Optima overpriced? How much would you say its worth?
If Kia were to offer the Optima with exactly the same specs as the current Camry 2.0G and charge you say RM 130K would you buy it then? Say they offered a premium model with all the goodies listed above and charged you an extra 14K for the new transmission, a more powerful engine, the whole range of safety equipment, gas shock absorbers, comfort kits, xenon HID lights with static bending, premium sound system, etc? Not to mention better design and more interior space and the extra 5 years unlimited mileage manufacturers warranty. Would anybody say that an extra 14K for all of these is expensive?
That price was chosen so as not to weaken demand for the Hyundai Sonata but on paper the Optima has better specs than the Sonata so ure getting more for the same price.
As ive said on other threads, ill make my decision in April as im targetting the WWR number plate. So ive got another 2 months to make a decision and push off my current 2003 Vios. But so far, the Optima is leading the pack and if it stays that way till April, then that would be my car of choice.
i am agree with Cybermaster98, i am a Forte 2.0 owner since 2010 and soon to be Optima owner, the Camry spec even cannot compare with my 2.0 Forte Spec in many aspects, speed, pick up, safety, interior and exterior....only its space bigger....i test drived the Mit ASX Upgraded Model last 2 days, also very bad, loud engine, no power, only 3 airbags for 142k car?? back seat is like Viva, Build quality soso, try to open and close the Forte door then you know how good is the quality i said If Kia were to offer the Optima with exactly the same specs as the current Camry 2.0G and charge you say RM 130K would you buy it then?
