Hello to the community! My name is Olex and I ride the 2015 EX model, which I really like so far! As my first car I couldn't wish for a better 'optimal' well rounded vehicle for my needs. This forum helped me a lot already, lots of cool information here from members, so thank you. Great to...

Hi, had my Optima for 8 months now and was wondering if there is any way I can show images on my Satnav? Tried everything but to no avail. Many thanks.

Unfortunately I'm having a trunk issue where it opens randomly while in park and driving. I'll close it and it will laugh and pop open. I'll close it once and it's happy, but sometimes the trunk and I go back and forth maybe 5-10 times. Been searching on the forum but haven't really found the...

Bought my 2015 new in 2015, looking at a 2018, maybe 2019. Bought it for my fiancé, who since upgraded to a Sportage, so I sold my 2008 Mazda 6 and started driving the Optima. It’s just an LX, does my 125 mile daily commute well, did a couple things aesthetically, but it’s stock. Definitely...

Hello, just wanted to know if it was possible to convert a 2013 kia optima trunk on to a 2015 optima lx?

Just called Kia Canada to see if I can get the cars history. I even called the 2 dealers that show up on carfax. I was told the only warranty repair that comes up is, valve cover gasket, oil feed line and tubes and the turbo. This was done this passed summer. So the turbo has less than 6k kms...

When I turn my AC on Auto or the highest fan setting when it's really hot out hear in Florida, it seems overly noisy. Almost like another unit in the engine area has kicked on to help. If I turn the fan down a few notches, the sound dims down. Whatever the sound is, it seems louder than the...

Hello everyone. I'm Zeeshan from Memphis, Tennessee. Got a 2015 Optima SXL in Ebony Black just last week with 38,500 miles on it. The car is practically brand new with no signs of wear at all. Guess you could say I lucked out. One major factor in purchasing this car was the Infinity sound...

Hey all, Just picked up my 2015 SXL and love it, love it, love it. There is one thing that popped up and I wanted to ask you about: I was driving in a high traffic area (LA, peak hour..:rolleyes:) for maybe an hour or so, used Eco mode and Sport mode for a bit, all in all maybe 20-30% of the...
