Little too quiet for me. Wondering if the exhaust would sound different in between modes.

It is a little quiet, anyone know if Kia adds artificial engine sound inside the cabin?

So much for giving it 3k miles on the engine before max revs, let alone letting it warm up for a minute. Ooops...

Here is a site that lists the manufacture's data for 0-60 at 5.7 sec for the 2.0. Their estimated time for 0-60 is 6.1 sec.

6.1 is pretty fast (and is identical to the base 2016 Audi A5 coupe), 5.7 would be significantly less than what I was expecting based on 0-60 times for the fastest times recorded for the Optima with that engine. Lighter weight and 8 speed transmission with better tires must be the magic.

Turbo four 0-100 run; not a rocket but respectable and sounds good:

Like the video for the 3.3, it doesn't seem to be pushed to the max - but this was a review and most likely not enough miles on it to safely punch it heavily yet. Would like to know how fast this was anyway...pushed to the limit would probably drop it a half second.

After seeing a few acceleration videos for both, I'm starting to wonder if both engines just don't hit redline, even in sport mode. Or maybe, the true redline is ~6k but it shows higher.

Somebody has already made an exhaust system for the 2.0, which helps gain a little power. Few seconds of revving at the end:

Sounds way better, wish they left out the music in that video.

I'll never understand why people upload exhaust clips...and play music in the background. That's as clear as mud to me.
