Welcome aboard, @jdogonroad! And thank you for signing up. So, you appear to be a Kia enthusiast! Great! I'm glad you found us. If you have some time, tell me/us about your Optimas and Cadenza. What years did you own? I'm always saying that the first Optima to catch my eye was the third generation - but I forget about the second generation that when I first saw - thought looked a lot like an Infiniti Q45 from the front. Something about it. It was a long time ago. But the first Optimas that really turned my head were the third generation. Especially in white...

I actually first noticed Kia with the Amanti. I really liked that car - especially after the mid-cycle refresh. So, naturally, I like the Cadenza. I can't denying LOVING the K900 but it's very pricey. With the Cadenza, you're getting a luxurious, roomy sedan for a reasonable price...

Buddy started working at the dealer when it opened near here. They had just changed body styles, and I traded my Saab in for an Optima. 8 months later the 2014 Limited model came out. Traded my 13 Optima and a ‘09 mustang gt for it. In 16, went in for an oil change, and got the Cadenza. Love it. But I’ve been watching this Stinger project since my first Optima.

Are you an impulse buyer?! You've had some nice Kias - and the current is a pretty luxurious car. I'm having a conversation about it in another discussion around here somewhere.

I can't even fit 3 cars in my garage. Things are going well with you, buddy. I'm impressed.

Nah man, you misread. I’ve had 3 different Kias, one after another. Never more than one. I’m a retiree, just trying to get my ultimate car before I die. This one fits the bill.

Oh I see, thank you for clearing that up.

What's been your favorite car thus far?
