What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2011 Kia Optima

2011 Kia Optima Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Having owned a non turbo ex which was a dog, I traded in less than one year for the E Turbo... see full Kia Optima review
2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Amazing combo of turbo torque and mpg potential if you stay out of the turbo. 6 spd paddle shifters, or "Eco" mode for high mpg. On trips as much as 33 mpg ! But 274 bhp available if needed. see full Kia Optima review
2011 Kia Optima Powertrain: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The TURBO is very disapointing in traffic and at slower speeds and off the line... It performs well after 40 mph..... the normal operation of the engine, computer, turbo and tranny seemed confused at slower speeds and in turns and corners at slower speeds. It really needs a V6 with the same HP but much better performance along the power band... see full Kia Optima review

2011 Kia Optima Tires: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The stock tires on the 2011 SX, in a word, suck. Traction is poor and noise is high. maybe they wear well; wouldn't know, changed them out before purchase. see full Kia Optima review
