More to like on the Optima's dash

2006.5 Kia Optima LX

Climate controls use simple 3-dial controls, and a small storage compartment is perfectly sized for CDs. (A CD player is standard, as is air conditioning.) Best yet, the cheap clickety-clackety dials that used to be found in Korean cars have been banished from the Optima. All of the switches and dials work with Toyota-quality feel and refinement.
