 Although we just purchased the 2003 SE 
Optima it has the beginnngs of 
a 'keeper'. I have sold others and 
this car will be difficult to compete 
against, even without the 10-100 
warranty. The leather interior is a 
great opton, well thought out. The 2.7 
is more than adequate for civilized 
driving. Freshened build for 2003 was 
needed.
