Never ceases to amaze me the problems with these cars. Vacuum at startup is normally poor, but the 2.0T needs some assistance so they have a vacuum pump installed, similar to what a diesel needs. Well, it happened a few times last year when cold and now this morning @ 13 degrees (F), at startup...

Just saying hello. I was looking to lease a new 2019 but really wanted a low mileage '14 or '15 because of the better styling (IMO). I ran across a fully-loaded, Remington Red 2015 SX with 186 miles on the odometer...hence the nickname "Unicorn". From browsing the forums I see there is a lot of...

Been reading a few battery threads but I didn't see the topic discussed. My OE battery on my 2015 Optima EX is dying. I got 4 years out of it so based on what I've read here I should be relatively happy with it. The battery is an H6 AGM. My local wallyworld doesn't have the H6 AGM battery in...

Hello all! I’m Jim from texas, I purchasedy 2013 Cora’s Blue Optima SX back in October 2012 and I love it, although there are a few features I wish it had. Thanks to the K5 Optima store it’s gonna have them soon haha. Anyways, this is my first time ever joining a forum, and I’m looking forward...

Picked up 2018 Kia Optima SXL on Friday. So far put weather techs in. Tinted windows and installed dual channel dashcam. Question is anyone able to get heated steering turned on by using app or websites. Remote start works but it doesn't turn heated steering altough I check that option on in...

Hi everyone. I am new to the Kia family and look forward to learning a lot from this forum. I just picked up a used 2015 Optima SX-L from Kia of Stockton. It had 11,822 miles and I love this car! The color is snow white pearl paint with white leather interior. I have already ordered some...

Hey guys, first post, this will not be exciting. I don't even own a KIA as of yet. I'm looking to modify wheels, suspension (current vehicle has Air Lift) and some engine mods/tune. Anyone know if there are commercially available tunes for the Hybrid? Anyway, noticed I had to post here first...

Hi all-- I'm in Irvine and just got my Optima Plug In. I'm still trying to learn about the systems, understand the optimal settings etc. Either the owner's manual doesn't go into a lot of detail about some of those things or I just haven't found the right sections (particularly information about...

Well, I picked up yet another Optima. This is my 3rd one. This time I picked up a new SXL. I still have my 2015 SXL sitting in the garage but going to get rid of it. I figured I would install the LED Air Vents since there doesn't seem to be a ton of people with them. My new wheels and...

Good afternoon from Texas. Have decided to sell my 2013 Passat TDI back to VW sometime in the next year. Very disappointed with this fiasco. Have averaged 37 mpg for 90000 miles and love the Passat. Drove a Kia Optima hybrid and was very impressed. I rented a Toyota Prius on my last business...

Yup. Because this is the place for them. Name is Colin. I'm a one week and a couple days new owner of a 2013 Optima EX in dark cherry for color with just now over 24k miles. Bought the car for a hopeful "reliable" daily/winter driver, that I would not mod to much. But... I've found out that I'll...

So after seeing a couple of guys on here with lights bars I decided to follow the trend. Lucky for me a friend had a new light bar to donate to the cause(30" 180w combo). I am just doing some test fitting and final mounting and then painting parts and wiring. For those who ask why I need it...

Would absolutely love some of your thoughts to help me out here. I've done zero mods to my car in over a year, was not doing anything weird to cause this.

Not only a newbie to this forum, but a newbie to the Kia family. Just bought it yesterday! 13 Optima. First non-american car. Hope I made a good decision.
