  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I already have a thread about my vents peeling or whatever but I also have an issue where the driver side headlight has failed 3 times within the past 2 days. I took it to our mechanic and he said the bulb wasn’t blown but that something was loose so he tightened it, so I took it to get the oil...

  3. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    My 2015 Optima EX only has 11k miles and I've noticed this issue for a long time now, maybe since new. I'll windex the inside of the windshield and within days or a week, it'll develop a thin film of something on the inside of the windshield again. Almost like what you see from heavy smokers who...

    While on business I rented a 3.6 liter Caddy ATS. It is an awesome driving car with way more power, but that's expected. I have the SXL, and even though the Caddy has some great traits, I'd live with the Optima over the ATS for the following reasons. Seats are better in the Optima, the...

    I had the HKS plugs for a year, and I decided to replace plugs. Just for the heck of it, I used NGK 1422 for 5 days, and... this is what happened. I firmly believed HKS plugs were higher quality, considering the fact that they are x2 more expensive and Pross advised to use HKS M45XL/M40XL...

    I got my 13 Optima on Saturday and have been super paranoid about parking it in the back of lots so it doesn't get dinged, cautious on the highway, etc. Today, I practically got ran off the road by a woman in a mini van who was obviously distracted and rolled up on the curb. Back passenger rim...

  12. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I got to thinking today about my new SXL and how it compared to my old Saab 9-3 Aero today, so I thought I'd write up a little early review of my new ride. First off... I LOVE this car! I can't take my eyes off of it when I park. I can't wait to drive it to work in the mornings. I can't wait to...

    Hi All, I'm really excited about my new manual 6speed LX that I'll be getting this wednesday. Also I'm pretty surprised that I actually bought a brand new car since I have always said it's a waste of money. My logic being that you can get a much more up market car like a BMW, Mercedes for the...
