Well I can't comment on the newer optima's, but I went from a 99GSX to a 05 kia optima lx... and its like going from an evo to a grannys car lol.
The cars been pretty damn reliable and I've only had to do very small repairs. Great car, lots of space, and I've driven the **** out of mine, and suprised its still running considering the way I drive it. Kia's definately gotten better throughout the years. I would personally say no, but I havent driven the turbo model to really comment. They do look much nicer than the older optimas.. Make sure you drive the car for awhile to make sure the gas mileage is right on.. I get 22-26 mixed driving and mines the 2.4 NA motor.. I seriously got better mileage in my GSX(stock)..
Maybe trade for a ix? unless you dont want the attention, Id say a SUV or maybe even a van if you want to make things easier for your kids to get into and out of. Also you won't be tempted to mod. I think if you got the turbo optima youd eventually lightly mod it.

I'm sorry; I just don't get the whole baby thing. I have two children. When they were small, I drove an A2 GTI that was stiffer and louder than death. I'd strap the kids into their seats in the back (2-door car) and away we went. What's the big deal? I can see if someone prefers a more sedate car to drive, but to change cars because of a baby? WTF for?
