love my kia

i just purchased by 2nd kia optima, i first purchased my 2001 kia optima 10/01, i loved all the equipment that came standard and all for a very affordable price, i loved everything about this car except that the brakes seem to wear faster than any other vehicle i have had, but the one reason i love my kia is i was in a bad accident, front end collision, my kia took the impact and i was able to walk away from this accident with just a few bruises, the one thing that upset me was the airbags failed to work, the car was a total loss , i was fine, to me that is what i consider a great made car with the exception of the airbags, they investigated my airbags and advised the way the front was hit the airbags were not sensored to go off?, i have just purchased the 2003 kia optima se, i love this car as much as the first. I think you get everything you want without having to add on all the extras that bring up the price of the car and it runs and feels just as good as the expensive vehicle in the same class.
