KIA Optima Sportswagon GT 245 hp (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

KIA Optima Sportswagon means an estate or a station wagon. Before you fall asleep, let me just add this is a GT version with 245 horsepower. Under normal circumstances you’re probably thinking about a 163 hp petrol Optima, or maybe a reasonable motorway miles munching 1.7 diesel 141 hp? But if you want a bit more from driving, GT is the way to go. From the beginning KIA Optima was a visually interesting car, but the new generation, especially the estate, stands out from the competition. Remember what Korean cars looked like a decade ago? There’s no shame parking one of these in your driveway now. Prices of the Optima estate start at 26 grand, the same as Mazda6 or Skoda Superb. Slightly cheaper, than Passat or the new Insignia. What does KIA have to charge so much?
