    Good morning folks. My name's Matt and I just bought a 2013 Optima EX.

    I am sure this has been covered. Please excuse my rookie status to this forum; I just recently bought a Hybrid EX. I have 2300 miles on the car now, and the hydrid battery never goes beyond 5/8 full. Why? Is this normal? How do I get it full, or should I get it full? Please Advise.... mweisdorfer

    So was just about to order this BOV from the website and I saw a phone number..... So being nosy and all I called it, to my amazement "David" answered. Figured it would just be a "leave a message", we spoke for about 15 to 20 minutes about this BOV and other options. Also how to install and...

    Alright guys first let me say I am not a Optima owner at the time but that maybe changing very soon. I have been saving money for several year with the intentions of buy a Dodge Challenger but I am getting older (28) and have begun thinking that an Optima is a more realistic option for me. There...
