The Kia Optima is designed by ex-Audi design chief, Peter Schreyer
Park this next to a BMW 5-series, and many would think the Optima is the better looking car
Engine is barely audible most of the time and the transmission smooth
Big seller will doubtless be the top-spec model, equipped with niceties like touch-screen navigation
High quality interior matches its rivals with ease
Leather upholstered heated and cooled seats
