I guess there is no consensus.

I would certainly recommend the KIA Optima 2006.5 or 2007 to anyone that was looking for a new vehicle.

We bought one last Sep. So far it's been a good car.

Well, after 13 months we now have about 13K miles on it. The ride, handling, mileage and overall expectations are as good or better than expected with one exception.
 
We had an issue with the passenger air bag indicator that would come on intermittently, which took about 4 months to remedy.

The air bag issue was a common problem.

How did they get it right? We have the same problem with the intermittent airbag light and the dealership even replaced the seat (so they say) at one point and yet we still have the problem.
