Is the 2010 Kia Optima a good long lasting car?

I’ve my car for about 179 thousand miles and I’ve had absolutely no issues this far but I’d like to know if I should expect it to exceed 200 thousand. I keep it well maintained and I don’t drive it too hard. It’s the 175hp i4c model.

You're lucky it has gone as far as it has. Hyundai/Kia reliability is terrible.

Be glad you got a good one, but I'd be looking for a replacement in the near future.

You might, who knows. 2010 was the last somewhat OK year of those. Now Kia Hyundais are "absolute piles of junk." Let me tell you, you should drive it expecting something to go wrong tomorrow, but I hope it will last you a while more.

Just stay on top of the maintenance (see owner’s manual) especially engine oil and transmission fluid change intervals, don’t drive it hard, stick to high way mileage as much as you can and you will improve your odds of getting to 200,000+ miles - that’s all you can do.  Good job getting to 179,000 + miles!
