Product Overview

Kia Optima / Magentis (code MS) is an affordable mid-size sedan in production from 2000 to 2005. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.8 to 2.7 liters.
While most of the powertrains have since proven to be rather reliable, they didn't produce the level of powers that Japanese, German, and American cars of this class were delivering. Further, the Gen1 Optima had poor safety ratings and were not built to the standards that we have come to expect from the Koreans today.
