Kia’s Optima car is such an excellent mixture of value, styling and functionality that it gained CarPart4U‘s highest recommendation as the best car of 2011. The hybrid model makes an attempt to take on the loves of Toyota‘s Camry Hybrid, Ford’s Fusion Hybrid — a previous winner — and its Hyundai counterpart, the Sonata Hybrid. All while the Toyota Prius overshadows them all with a 50 mpg combined rating and comparable interior room.
