Wow, the 2012 Kia Optima is built for speed at 60 in 9.2 seconds. It may not be that fast compared to supercars, but it is for me. I still drive fast in the open countryside when I want some peace and quiet. I guess driving at an empty highway at more than 70 miles per hour is already a good thing. I’m planning to buy this car now, so thanks for the review.
