Kia Optima
Prices start at: €27,950
Engines: Dsl: 1.7 (141bhp).

Plus Points: Brand new car and it is well ahead of the old one. Nice cabin, engines way down now on emissions; road tax/VRT follow suit. Looks and drives well.
Minus Points: Still a understated to look at. Lack of engine choice. Light steering.
Best Buy: Just the one model.
Final Answer: Too early to rate, but this is a family- car worth thinking about.
