Review: Kia Optima Vs Honda Accord Vs Toyota Camry

[Copy link]
Post time 24-8-2012 10:23 PM | Show all posts |Read mode
Surprisingly...I found out that the 2012 Kia Optima standing outs as the overall best leaving Camry and Accord on its tail. Those cars are in the same family sedan category. Facts about Optima are..it has two variants that caught my eyes on. The 2.4L pushing out 250hp...while the lower capacity 2.0L turbo squeez out 260hp.

Both variants are quicker when they accelerate from the stop compare to Camry and... the bulky V6 Accord.
The exterior design? Much better than camry and accord. Interior? I can say...equal to camry...but not accord. Accord cabin is spacious...but no bluetooth for low lines and also small lcd screen. Both camry n optima has bluetooth as a standard issue. To add more...optima looks more to sporty family sedan...and with the 2.0L Turbo...yes it does.

Well...speaking of which...how about VW Passat? According to the taxi drivers around Doha, Camry is much better that Passat. The problem with Passat are; the side mirror is not covering much on the blind spots (you can't just rely on the side mirrors when changing lanes)...the front seats quite flat and sturdy (less comfy). For information, in Doha..the VW passat and Toyota Camry are the standard registered taxis around here. All taxi drivers prefer Camry. Handling wise? They still opt to drive Camry.

I should get a discount from the KIA sales agent for this non-profit review don't I? d^_^b Y



P/s: Tapi aku nak beli keta ni bukan di mesia...hehe...di mesia mahai la belaka. Di tempat aku ni optima 2012 dalam rege myr50k ...accord 2012 dalam myr60k... camry 2012 dalam myr60k jugak kalau diconvertkan ke duit mesia.

nak beli keta kat mesia ni sometime terpaksa la follow mentaliti majoriti rakyat mesia.  rata2 org mesia MASIH tengok brand. brand accord & camry more superior than brand kia disebabkan pengalaman pahit tahun2 yg sebelumnya. contohnya optima model sebelum ni used car pun tak mau amik sbb susah nak jual. simpan berbulan2 byr interest tapi still x da buyer.  manakala camry & accord resale value tinggi sbb senang nak cari buyer berbanding brand KIA.  imagine Sorento tahun 2008, rega klu beli baru 160k, tapi bila masuk used car reganya hanya tinggal 65k berbanding Honda CRV same year yg reganya masih dlm range 100k-110k.   sebab tu la org takut nak beli brand new Korea, especially yg rega mahal punya mcm sorento, optima, sportage.

cuba tengok model baru sonata, klu yg year 2010, kat used car rega cuma tinggal 110k (nego) walhal klu beli baru rega 145k. meaning dlm masa 2 tahun rega drop 40k. begitulah nasib kereta jenama korea. mentaliti rakyat mesia masih x boleh nak terima disebabkan pengalaman2 pahit yg dulu, especially rega spare parts yg mahal, dan susah nak dpt di workshop2 yg biasa.

imagine dimanakah rasa bangga bawak keta korea mcm Sorento SUV yg asalnya rega 160k, tapi tinggal 65k jer bila masuk used car. padahal baru pakai 4 tahun jer.  imagine pulak used car amik dari owner pd harga berapa? mesti jauh lebih rendah.  byk kes keta korea ni terpaksa jual kosong sambung bayar jer disebabkan terlalu byk nak kena top up to bank bila nak let go.

shah betul cakap ko tu. Bagi aku pulak..aku review dulu sebelum  beli keta...dan aku nak kepuasan memakai...bukan bergantung atas jenama saja. korean cars skang ni design bukan saja cantik...tapi darisegi performance pun derang dah banyak improve....model2 keta baru skang ni lah. Even kia n hyundai pun dah menembusi pasaran US..org2 US pun tak suka sangat pun dgn brand US chevrolet tuh..mcm kita dgn proton lah.

ya, mentaliti org US sgt beza dgn mentaliti org msia. mrk tgk performance & spec yg ada pd kereta. org msia tgk brand semata2 utk rasa bangga diri & rasa diiktiraf...kononnya jenama kereta represent 'pride' tahap ekonomi mrk. lepas tu org msia cukup takut dgn resale value. kia K5 tu sporty, lawa & spec dia jauh meninggalkan keta jepun... tapi brand juga dipandang org.  member aku cakap, buat apa beli kia... ibarat ko pakai kasut timberland vs kasut umbro, wlpn kast umbro tu lagi lawa.  lepas setahun nilai kebanggaan memiliki tu hilang terus disbbkan brand awareness masyarakat sekeliling.  huhh...  itulah mindset org msia.  tgk brand awareness jeans levi's di msia cukup la. kat US brand tu consider biasa2 jer. tp di msia ramai budak U yg bangga pakai kononnya branded sgt la ..  disbbkan brand awareness, pengedar pun letak rega yg tinggi. contohnya UMW masih berani letak rega camry terlalu tinggi wlpn enjin hanya 4 speeds & spec rendah bbanding keta korea. sbb jualan toyota masih hot, derang tau mentaliti rakyat msia masih tgk brand.

Yes, kalau Lox diberi pilihan (value for money, design, safety & manouverability) Lox akan pilih Optima K5 then Camry last Honda. Tapi resale value Kia memang hampeh la, tapi Lox plan nak simpan Kia Optima ni sampai bila-bila sebab design exterior & interior boleh buat aweks jatuh hati..
