Optima

SX with Tech

Purchased the day after my birthday in 2012, this vehicle was never intended to be what it is today. I originally purchased this vehicle due to our second daughter being born. We needed a more economical price point but I didn't want to sacrifice the amenities that we loved. This is how the Project Optima was born.
