Many prospective buyers have avoided some of Kia sedans made due to lack of available engine options, but options 2010 Engine Kia Optima are far less constrained and could even be considered impressive. The standard engine for the 2010 model has not changed significantly from 2009 and remains the 2.4-liter V4 delivers 175 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is quite competitive within its class and an estimated 22mpg city and 32 mpg on the highway. The five-speed manual and five-speed automatic are available to match with the engine and fuel economy increases slightly with the manual as well as acceleration. For individuals who were discouraged by the lack of options in the past, one of the 2010 engine of the Kia Optima is 2.7 liter V6 engine that is designed to please. The engine produces 194 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque and offers better acceleration than the smaller 2.4-liter V4. Fuel economy delivered by the larger engine, however, is somewhat lower and is estimated mpg 20 mpg in a city and 28 highway. The 2010-liter V6 engine of the Kia Optima 2.6, can not compete with some of the other V6 engines found in other sedans, but is definitely lower priced too. After reviewing the 2010 engine options of the Kia Optima, most buyers have chosen the engine really by 2.4 liter V4 smaller simply due to a slightly better fuel economy. While the acceleration is improved in the 2.7-liter V6, the difference proved not to be significant enough to entice buyers to have a few miles to the gallon. Either option is appropriate and is more than enough to make the car a suitably pleasant driving experience.

Roger Donovan asked:
Back during the late 1970s, Volkswagen began to realize that they had a bit of a problem on their hands: the VW Rabbit/Golf was a fine vehicle, but it lacked an important body part which many American drivers desired: a trunk. Yes, the hatchback craze never did quite well in the US market as motorists couldn’t get used to having all of their personal stuff covered over by what resembled a tarp. Instead, sales of competing sedans kept Rabbit sales down until VW decided to develop a second model, the Jetta, to fill the gap. What was originally a model based on the Rabbit has now been transformed into an amazing mid-sized sedan in its own right. Read on and we’ll take a look at how the Volkswagen Jetta transformed the middle of VW’s line up.
At first glance, if you viewed the original Jetta you would have insisted it was nothing more than a Rabbit with a trunk slapped on the back of the car. In reality, it was. Not until 1985 when the second generation Jetta came out, did Volkswagen attempt to separate the two models to create distinct model lines. Although some base engine offerings remained the same, the new Jetta was longer and wider than the predecessor, enabling it to be categorized as a mid-size car. Indeed, the Jetta was so popular in the North American market that it easily outsold the Rabbit for many years. Today, the Jetta shares some components with the larger Passat instead of the smaller Volkswagen EOS.
The amazing thing about the current Jetta is its price. Most mid-sized cars start closer to $20,000 while VW has made certain that the Jetta is competitively priced to compete with similar models from Hyundai, Nissan, and Toyota. With a starting price of about $16,500 the Jetta comes with such nice to have features as: power side mirrors with blinkers; an independent rear suspension; a gas powered five cylinder engine; 8 way programmable seats; and upscale styling. Indeed, the current Jetta has an optional rain sensing wiper system; available 16 inch alloy wheels; power sunroof; dual zone climate control; and much more. Even as a better equipped $20,000 model the Jetta competes effectively with the highly popular Toyota Camry, giving consumers reason to consider the Jetta all the more so.
What has helped Jetta sales immensely in the past year is its diesel model. Sporting a 1.9L turbo diesel engine, the Jetta TDI has come in very handy for motorists shocked at paying more than $3.00 per gallon for gasoline recently. Yes, with a diesel aspirated engine powering the Jetta, motorists can expect to get more than 40 miles to the gallon when taking interstate trips. Although fuel prices have dropped considerably since, the Jetta TDI remains popular as its new pump injector system puts out more horsepower and torque than ever before.
Truly, the Volkswagen Jetta has matured and evolved keeping pace with changing customer tastes, budgets, and high fuel prices. No wonder that the Jetta is easily the best selling Volkswagen in the U.S. market far outselling even the budget priced Rabbit.

Alexis M asked: Hello folks. I wanted to see if anyone could tell me the “significant” differences between a 2010 VW Passat and a 2010 Audi A4 (non quattro). I am in the market for a new car and I am considering the the A4 but several people have mentioned that it is just a very luxurious sporty Passat and even has the same engine. Is this true? Can someone elaborate if possible?

Specifically the 1.9L in the Passat and Golf. I keep hearing that diesel truck engines run a “million miles”, do VW engines outlast gasoline engines like that too? Do they have the same low maintenance?
