Stopped in to say hello. :) I have a 2011 Optima SX dark grey color. Bought it brand new with 13 miles and have taken care of it very well. Been a good car, but now I need to do some body maintenance.

Been a member for a long time but never posted. I have a 2015 Optima with the 2.4. I just received a letter indicating the dealer is to install something to monitor engine performance. Looking to get more information on that and how it could negatively affect the car.

After weeks and weeks of searching, thought I found the right Optima. 2015 Optima, About 50K miles, 13K out the door, white. I was told this was CPO and papers indicate CPO, bought from Kia Dealer. Drove it home, never having driven a Optima before, it sounded a bit louder than what I would...

... and now there are two in my garage. My wife's 2017 Sorrento EX and my 2017 Optima SXL. We love them. Got a sweet deal on the Optima in February;, it was the last 2017 on the lot and they were dealing. Plus it was the very end of the month, which helped greatly. Beautiful car.

I have been with KIA for 4 years. It's been a total blast seeing a "crappy" car company climb the ranks to being a top player in the auto industry. I have met a few of you and it's been a pleasure. I'll still be on here from time to time, however once I leave on Monday I won't have the vast...

I must have been an idiot - 2011 Kia Optima SX-T Engine Failure due to "oil pump" Last year, my engine failed and I paid 1/2 of $7200 for a new engine due to a failed "oil-pump" and low oil pressure. But upon closer review of a video of the event after getting my warranty extended for engine...

My friends call me the unofficial KIA spokesperson. :rolleyes: They can't understand how I could have a S550 parked in the garage and drive a KIA almost daily. I guess they never will. I own a 2010 Forte and a 2013 Optima...looking to add a new 2016.

When I bought my Optima a week ago, I only got 1 key with my car. I have to pay close attention when getting in & out that I keep a window down Don't want to get locked out. Suppose to take 4-6 weeks when I get my tags. Will get extra key with my tags. I like carrying a spare in my other...

Hi guys, I'm trying to buy a Kia in the next few days, selling my Lexus to get rid of a few bills and use that towards a new Kia. I have a family member in Kia Korea so that's what helped me decide on going with Kia. I've been around mostly Japanese cars. I've owned a Honda civic, Acura Integra...

Ok that might be a bit strong. There have been good times. Here's my story. I got my 2013 Optima SX-T with tech and touring packages in September of 2013. The first 12 months were fairly smooth save for a financing fiasco that had nothing to do with KIA -except they set up my initial...
