  1. Hybrids
    I just got a 16 Hybrid EX. I always join the forums to find out as much information I can get. That being said, is there anything I should know about the car? Or, is there a mod that is a must? Thanks in advance.
  2. The Service Center
    So I have a few issues. My TPMS system stopped working and there is streaking on the inside of my headlight. My dealership refuses to fix anything and here are their excuses For streaking headlight: They claim that since I have an aftermarket bulb I "broke the seal" and that allowed moisture...
  3. The Dealership
    Awhile back, I bought my Kia Optima EX Turbo 2013 from one of Greater Toronto Area dealership. When the deal was all done, they handled getting new license plate/sticker renewal stuff. When I checked the bill upon picking up the car, I found it a bit more than I expected. I called Service...
  4. Engine and Technical Discussion
    Guys I have a Nameless Performance charge pipe and love it, however, I truly wished it went further as I'm not a big fan of flex hoses like we have in our cars. Take a look at the picture below for reference. Is there a part available today that will take the place of the flexpipe, perhaps...

  7. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I have googled this topic outside of this forum and it appears that many say they are a cosmetic item and you will not notice a difference once added. They say to change the handling/roll you need to upgrade/add the rear sway bar when dealing with a FWD platform. When searching this forum the...
  8. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    At almost 50k miles on my 2012 SX in the Chicago area, it's finally time to put some new rubber on. I have searched, read, and researched this site for a solid answer, but of course, there are a thousand different opinions. Some guys are getting a wider tire and a thicker sidewall to add to...

    I've been shopping around for a new car for a couple of weeks now here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I've been a Kia guy for years - started out with a 2010 Forte, moved down to a 2012 Rio, now I'm checking out the 2013 Optima. Decided to spring for the premium package, so the dealership is...
