I've been writing, but about very heavy and serious stuff.


Here's a review of the Kia Optima I had as a way to destress.

"The best I could say is that that the driving experience for me, was completely unmemorable. For someone like me, who enjoys driving and prefers a smaller car, this Optima is not something I would spend money on.

For someone who is looking for a new car with a lot of space, for not a lot of money, the Optima is fine. For someone who wants a somewhat interesting sedan, the Optima isn't the car for you."

I think I had a slightly older one, same trim level, that didn't have a telescoping wheel. Made the seating position a bit weird since I'm over 6 feet. The pedals seem too close.

That's about right. It's a good value for the size, features, and comfort level. But maybe a Mazda6 would be more fun.
