A COMFORTABLE AND SOFT RIDE (TOO SOFT)

Kia Optima / Reviews / 2009 Kia Optima / Magentis / A COMFORTABLE AND SOFT RIDE (TOO SOFT)

On the down-size, the car rides far too loosely on its suspension. It bobs and sways and when you put your foot into it and change lanes on the highway the steering becomes vague as the sedan rolls back on its suspension.
