    The wife took delivery yesterday of her Inferno Red 2017 Kia Soul Exclaim. 1.6-liter Turbo engine and 7-speed DCT transmission (two firsts for the Soul). Slots in nicely beside my 2016 Optima in the garage. :D

  3. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Got a deal on my dream car BMW and I got the 340i here's the YouTube video of it!:) I absolutely love it. Should have waited before I bought my optima SXL was because it was also one of the very very very "Few" 2015's SXL's, 2.0T engines with the extra 20K mile warranty! So i didn't feel like...
  4. Engine and Technical Discussion
    Good afternoon, Yesterday I changed the starter on my 2012 Kia. That fixed the start problem I was having but it created two more. When my car starts, there are three intervals of distinct humming coming from the engine. It stops after the three intervals. Additionally, my brake warning light is...

    Hello community! My name is Alex and I hail from Kitchener, ON Canada. I recently purchased a 2013 Optima EX after much research & test driving. I'ts been less than a week and I have to admit that I am thoroughly enjoying this car! My previous vehicle was an SUV, so this is quite a change for...

    Yes, I am a former VW Lover and I just bought my first Optima SX. I had three VWs; a 2002 Jetta, 2009 GTI and 2010 Jetta TDI and loved every one of them. The 2002 was for my son and worked fine until the transmission into limp mode last year at around 136K miles and I found it would would cost...
  8. The Service Center
    Weird problem I am hoping to get some ideas about while I am at work today. When I parked my car, I hit the lock button on my keyfob; the car locked and the mirrors started to fold in, then stopped, and reversed. That was weird, so I hit lock again... nothing, just silence. So I hit unlock...
  9. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    So I have been thinking about getting some high power red LED's for the blinkers. I have the yellow/amber capacitor built in ones from K5OS already. So I know if I remove those and put in LED's I will need the capacitors to regulate hyper blinking. As the title suggests, I already have them...
  10. Entertainment: Audio, Navigation, and Electronics
    Shortly after I got my optima last July, I had an amp professionally installed (not custom, but professional), and I asked the tech to give me an extra two feet of wire on the remote so I could put in a 12v rocker switch as a kill switch. Everything worked great. Not long after, I got a little...
  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So about a week and a half ago I traded the 2011 Optima. I had an itch for a brand new car. Haven't had one since 2003. I wanted something smaller than the Optima that had better fuel economy. I also wanted a hatchback as I think they look pretty badass. So through my weeks of researching many...
  12. The Service Center
    2015 SX-T, premium and tech packages, ~700 miles on it. Average MPG has reset twice on its own now. Not the trip MPG, the main average MPG. It didn't occur after a fill-up and I have the reset option set to manual, not automatic. It's possible I could have unknowingly hit the OK button long...
  13. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
