Hi, everyone. My salesman told me that the 2019 Optima EX has an ECO driving mode, and that's what the Kia web site says as well "Choose your driving style - Comfort, Eco or Sport." And yet my 2019 EX only gives me the options "Comfort, Sport, and Smart". A Kia YouTube video defined "Comfort"...

Hey everyone, I am in the process of possibly purchasing a 2015 Optima EX in great condition with just over 30K miles. The one issue that it has is that the mode button for the user settings is not working. It's the one on the steering wheel right next to the cruise control buttons that looks...

Hi all, I am NOT looking for info on how to use the "Sport" mode (pressing a button). I am looking for any technical info or links on how it actually works. I am totally impressed that electronics can change how a car drives, via steering, transmission, etc. Just curious if anyone...

I'm just curious how you all utilize your eco mode. Do you never use it? Use it all the time ? Do you have it on when you hit the hwy and off on back roads, or vice versa?

Hi all! My car is about 15 months old, and randomly started going haywire few hours ago. Switched into panic mode while eating in a restaurant and keys were in my purse. Went outside to try to turn it off and my fob didn't seem to be responding. Remote started functioning normally again, but...

Have a 2015 Optima EX with standard (non-uVo) radio that I'm having problems with. According to the Users Manual, each time the MEDIA button is pressed, the mode is changed in order of CD, USB(iPod), AUX, My Music and BT Audio. This is not happening on my radio. The MEDIA switch does work...

What Dealer did you use to get the steering issue fixed and did they charge you?

Hello everyone. On our new to us 2014 EX with the UVO Infinity system without Nav, we have had some frustrating moments with the system so far. When I first start my car and hook my iPhone 6 up with the lightning cable, the phone starts playing fine like it should. If I hit the mode button to...

My Optima has the Infinity Sound System and Nav. This past weekend, the sound on the stereo went out although the unit still has power (displays stations, volume, etc). I just have no sound for FM/AM/XM or Streaming Bluetooth. I do have sound for turn-by-turn directions. I have tried 3 different...

I have had my 2014 Optima LX for 3 weeks and have been running it in ECO mode. Has anyone tested MPG differences between ECO and "normal" mode? I would love to know if there are any gas savings.

Purchased the car new mid Dec, and I'm noticing that when I'm driving in eco, and try to feather the accelerator, there's a stutter, or it bogs down unless you get on it. The 2010 Soul I had prior to the new EX also had the ECO drive, but never felt like this. Anyone else experience this?

This just started today...the radio will be on Sirius XM, and then after my bluetooth from my iphone 5s connects, it will change it to FM or AM. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Also, unrelated I think, my USB port doesn't seem to work very well with my iPhone cable...if I wiggle the USB...

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. 2014 Optima SX purchased new in March of this year. It now has 7000 miles. About two months ago, my wife (her car) tells me that she is just driving along, and notices that the engine is over-revving. She pulls over, shuts it off, starts it back...

This model has the standard basic UVO system without Nav, my Nexus 5 always connects to the car automatically but 1 out of 10 times when I press Media to select the BT Audio mode it says no device connected even though you can see the Bluetooth logo in the top right corner. If I disconnect and...

Hi everyone. I have a 2013 Hybrid with UVO system. Its not the premium Infinity one ( insert sad face). It does have the backup cam on it and what not. Love the system for now but I'm having some gripes about it now. So I got my little sister's old iPhone 4 since I upgraded her to an...

I feel like the car has way more power with this off with little to no loss in MPG. A friend of mine that had the same car told me that i really dont need eco mode on. He states that i should only use it when on the highway on long trips with cruise control on. Any suggestions?
