    Greetings all! Just picked up my first Optima today. It's a black 2014 SXL. Test drove about 6 different Optimas over the past week. Absolutely in love with it. I look forward to learning more about these great cars. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend as much as I am!

    Hi, my wife and I bought a 2012 Optima T-GDI. Love it except when hard accelerating the steering wheel feels very strange and way too responsive like a 1 inch pull either way makes the vehicle lunge toward that way. Anyways, tell me what you think.

    Just bought a 2016 Sparkling silver Optima on Saturday. Didn't intend on getting a 2016 but the price was right. I've watched the KIA brand for sometime now and finally decided to pull the trigger. Had my heart set on a 2015 but the deal i got on this 2016 i couldn't pass it up. Ive been a gear...

For those of you who live in the Indy area, which dealers would you recommend for service, etc? Thanks, David
