  2. Entertainment: Audio, Navigation, and Electronics
    So, I realized after I purchased my 2014 Optima EX that map updates appear to cost $150. Is there any way to update the nav software for free or is paying this crazy amount the only option?

    Okay, there's a local retailer that will sell me a set of BCR Coils for $200.00 less than Megan EZ. $1200 for BC $1400 for Megan Ez No brainer, right? BCR has camber adjust, more damping. Question. Should I get "extreme low" for stance , or will standard do it.

    Without listing company names (yet), I have tried two different companies to buy MRR GT8 rims for my optima. Both companies are not replying to my email saying "I want to buy these, can you send them to me?". No one is even responding to me. Have you guys run into this, and if so do any of...

    Almost 2 weeks ago I paid money to Concept III Performance, and since then have received no update. Are they on a vacation, and if so, anyone know when they will return and process orders? Alternatively, is anyone familiar with the procedure for reversing a Paypal person-to-person payment sent...

  7. Hybrids
    I got the Hybrid ECU update done today, I can report that it made a significant difference in the way my car feels now. The pedal response is immediate in ECO mode and it now drives like a normal sedan or I should say, like the 2013 Hybrids do! I dropped it off with the battery level at 3/4...
  8. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hi I'm getting ready to pull the pin and buy an Optima Hybrid (why hybrid, because our provincial sales tax is 10% and I get up to 3k worth of that back by buying a hybrid, though it expires the end of March). So this is my dilemma...obviously they want to move the 2012 and they are...

  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Still on the fence on getting a new sx or sxl. Is the limited with the extra cash over a loaded sx?? I do like the full leather interior but what all is different.
  12. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    We all know there are a select few options for our cars and that the aftermarket community is obviously growing and supporting this vehicle. In terms of suspension, rank these modifications from most important to least in terms of where you would spend your money. 1) Front Strut Tower Bar...

  14. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    Hey guys, so I'm looking at these 20" rims and was wondering what the best tire for the best price would be. Don't want cheap nexens obviously.
