    Hey there, This is my first winter driving a front-wheel drive vehicle. All of my Lexus vehicles were rear-wheel drive, which meant brand and size were crucial to holding the road. I know that FWD cars do have better handling in poor weather, but need some input before I make my winter tire...

    I just bought a new to me, 2015 Optima EX. I love it. I just sold my 2010 (bought in 2009) Kia Soul. Loved that car! 440,000 Kms on her and she is still going strong! That is why I am still a Kia man!

    Am I going crazy here or is ~$2100 + labor + tax crazy to replace a light bulb??? I hit a deer last winter and part of the costs when fixing it was indeed a $2096.41 "Lamp" for the drivers side. Can they not just buy a new D1S bulb and replace it? I'm absolutely flabbergasted they want this...

    So I've been trying for a few days to source some new plugs for my 2014 SX turbo, and the only place I can find a set is a Kia dealer who needs to special-order them in at $48 PER PLUG. No thanks, especially since they won't lube it up first! :lipsrsealed: I've found that NGK's website(s) do...

    I have a 2016 Kia optima Hybrid EX. Looked at threads already trying to find how to switch my climate control from F to C. What is listed to do doesn't work in the threads I found. Hold down the mode button then hold down the dual button for 3 or so seconds. Tried it repeatedly and nothing. Need...
