  2. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Is it just me, or does the sun shine a lot hotter through the Optima's windshield than it did in other cars I've had? I don't even remember my 2016 SXL transmitting so much heat. I'm talking about when when I'm driving facing the sun to one degree or another, and it beats down onto my legs and...

    I just got my second Optima after having my first one for almost four years. Even though it's only four years older, there are a lot more features than I had before, so I'm still trying to learn everything. Can't wait to get the windows tinted so it looks tough. The 19-year old twin boys like...

  5. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Optima is one of two finalists after my lengthy car search. At the KIA USA site the leases look pretty good. Like $200/mo for a 2016 EX w/Premium Package ($29,765 MSRP) w/$3000 down. I was originally looking for an EX, but the EX Premium Package includes a powered passenger seat, pretty...

    Hi all, I have been a member here since 2011 but I had to re register as the site did not recognize my email address which I have used for the past ten years. That elimated my being able to contact an administrator for help. My former name was Vonrichthofen54. I recently traded my 2011 LX for...

    Hello all, I've been kinda lurking around this place for a few weeks and obsessively looking up new car stuff and figured I might as well make an account. I'm from Fargo, ND and looking to finally buy my own car in the next few months. :D My first car was a used 2002 Kia Optima that ended up...

    I just had the tranny replaced by the dealer a few weeks ago due to slipping and heavy jerking between gears. It even stopped going into reverse. Everything was fine with the new one till I noticed slipping going into 2nd. This only happens after initial start up. Does it only once then it's...

    Ok, I'm not back, but my girlfriend is. I traded my '13 SXL for a '14 Cadenza. She just picked up a 2015 SX Turbo about a month ago. Since I am the car and computer guy I figure I might as well show her car off for her. We just cleaned the cars and took them to a parking garage and snapped a...

  12. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    After doing a quick search of the forum, I see I'm not the only one asking.. only style of gauge pod I've come across is a 'custom' one made for the pillar. I'm curious to know if there really are any others out there that I'm missing?! if i got to pick where i wanted my gauge to go.. it would...
  13. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hello everyone. Last time I posted here, it was in February of 2012. I was unemployed for quite some time, but I expressed an interest in buying an Optima. At the time, I had (and still have) a 2004 Hyundai Elantra. In September of 2012, I acquired a 1991 British-Racing Green Mazda Miata. The...

    Car is back in the shop for the 4th time in the last 2 months for loss of power issues. This started happening to me about 6 months ago, every morning the car would have no power, a simple restart fixed it so I procrastinated taking it to the dealer because, well, I hate going to the dealer...
  16. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So after trading in my 2013 LX for a 2012 EX-T, its been a bit more than 6 months before my last fender bender where a Honda Accord (mid 2000's) hit me from behind. This time... a freaking truck hit me from behind and now I have a hole in my car, pictures to follow. The guy who hit me didnt...
