Our recommendations
Which used Kia Optima saloon should I buy?
The PHEV might be worth a punt if most of your journeys are short, with an electrical point either at home or at work, but in real-world use you’re unlikely to get anywhere near its exceptional on-paper fuel economy figure. Provided you don’t mind diesel, it’s probably safer to look for a 1.7 CRDi model, of which there are plenty.
We’d seek out 2 trim, which has all the goodies you could want, unless you came across a 3 model on the forecourts that was exceptionally well priced.
