Kia Optima SX vs Kia Optima SXL?

Paying $34,500 for a Kia Optima is beyond ignorant. It's downright stupid.

You're in new Infiniti G37, Acura TL and Mercedes C250 pricepoint territory.

the SX is the smart choice.

The SXL adds chrome wheels (aftermarket way less expensive), red brake calipers (big deal), rear spoiler, chrome accents on the door panels (big deal), daytime running lights ($30 option), Power folding mirrors (for the extremely lazy), panoramic sunroof (optional on SX), Navigation (a good Garmin is $80), Electronic parkng brake (because a normal one isn't good enough?), First Aid Kit ($20 option), Nappa Leather (the only good difference - not worth $8K), power passenger seat (option on SX), heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seat bottoms (you wont ever be back there), HD radio ($40 option).

Kia Optima Limited Edition

KIA is testing the market to see if people will buy a premium vehicle from them. Hyundai offers the Azera and Genesis. If you are even thinking on spending over $30k for a KIA go check out Hyundai first

Kia and Hyundai are the same manufacturer. Kia is to Hyundai as Mercury was to Ford.

the sx-l has the limited edition package, just look it up, more features. But it still has the same turbo 4cyl that the sx has
