Opa-locka. FL. boy now on the west coast of the state. Own a Pearl White 2017 Optima FE w/ only 22K miles on it since I bought it new. Avg 29-35 MPG when not gunning it & up to 45 MPG @ 70 MPH when not gunning it (figured somebody here would want to know the MPG). Will end up getting visual...

I plan on taking a 1,000 mile trip in the near future. Just wondered what I could expect for fuel mileage with our 2019 Kia Optima LX with 2.4 engine? I should average 70 mph because the road is near empty of traffic, and 70 mph will be a good speed to enjoy the scenery. The manual on the Kia...

Hey all , I’m having a few problems with my Optima and I found this forum, hopefully I can find some help here.

Hello - Looking for opinions......I purchased this car new and it always warmed up quick. Last winter that changed and it now will not reach full operating temp when driving and when it idles to operating temp I can control the engine temp gauge (dummy) by turning the climate control up. This...

Hey everyone! I’m Ashley, and I’m a 2012 Kia Optima (2.4l engine) owner. My car has about 150,000 miles on it. This week my engine light has came on, and after diagnosis I’ve been told that I probably have a bad transmission temp sensor, and one can be ordered for me and replaced next week. My...

Hey all. Late 2016, I got my engine (long block) replaced, which was ironically before the first recall was issued. Luckily I was still under warranty anyway. I just took my car in today due to the recall that was issued out recently. They checked everything and did an ECU update and gave me a...

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.

Lurked on here for a while, pry a good six/eight months and I finally decided to join mostly because I need some help and opinions on some things. I’m Ethan from Illinois by the way.

Hi.. I just picked up a salvage silver 2014 KIA Optima LX with minor damage... I have been rebuilding KIAs and Hyundais since 2009 and I have been very active on kia-forums as a moderator... The Optima was involved in a high center front end accident taking out the grill, bumper cover...

Hi Folks So I just got my engine replaced with a new "long block". So looking at me dealer's service tech note, it only shows that they replaced the long block and re-installed customer's accessories. So just wonder if there are any KIA techs that can clarify regarding what is in the long...

Hi! Haven't been on the forum in a while and just decided to tell you guy's how the Optima's been doing! We bought the car on February 18th-ish of 2016. So it's been about a 1 year and a half. And the car has been doing great! Got the oil changed on the 19th of this month. Which was 2k miles...
