    Hello all. My fiance and I recently purchased a used 2015 Kia Optima SXL about a couple weeks ago. It is Snow White Pearl and is an absolute beauty! We have always liked the look of the newer Kia Optimas and found them very stylish and cool. We came across a 2015 SXL at an unbelievable price...
  2. Vendor Spotlight! Great Deals for Members
    <p class="p1">A clean engine is a more efficient engine (and also a more powerful one), so a fuel injector cleaning is an important part of maintaining your car. While you can always visit a mechanic to get this service done, this is actually one of a few maintenance items that are pretty...

    Hey guys, I have a 2013 optima EX, I believe it has the 2.4L GDI engine. 61k miles. I work in sales so I drive a lot. Due to a long story I basically had to buy this optima, did I pick a reliable car? What are common issues/pitfalls I should look out for? Am I safe to keep this car, or should...
  4. Members' Showroom
    Hello all, Just wanted to say hello as a new member to the forum! My fiance needed a new car and we both decided on the Optima, which she loves. Not sure our budget will allow for mods in the future, but she's already mentioned something about bigger wheels, which I can't disagree with. I...

    My name is Adam. We live in Atlantic Beach, Florida. My wife's 2007 Toyota Camry SE (fully loaded) is getting up there in miles, so it's going to the 17 year old. So we started hunting for a new(er) car for her. She wanted a sporty sedan, something the same size or smaller, and she didn't...

    Hi All, i thought I would stop by and see what members do with their Kia Optimas. My wife and I picked up a new 2016 Optima EX yesterday for her. My wife loves it. Im pleasantly suprised and its a sharp car. Looks nice sitting next to my 2013 Dodge Challenger. What's not to like. It only took 5...

    Magnaflow makes a good looking catback for the 2012 sonata turbo and I was wondering if it fits our optimas? Specifically my 2012 SX-T. I guess I would assume it does since the borla and Injen are interchangeable on either application... Anyone know? Thanks guys! :+1:

    Tire mobility kit and roadside assistance sound OK but: I want a 17" spare so does the spare tire kit come with a 17" donut? I would prefer a full size spare if it will fit and if so, any suggestions on finding the right jack and lug wrench without having to buy a kit with a donut I don't...
  9. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hey all. So at one point my lady and I both had an Optima, and now we have none. Traded my hybrid in today. One year old and 25.5K miles and I didn't enjoy any of them. Was glad to dump it. But I stuck with Kia. Got myself a new Rio5 EX in Aurora Black. I've been wanting a hatchback since she...

    When it comes to our keys and the NFC thing with the fob, how does that exactly work. I am not talking about the push buttons but the more passive sensor for when you get close to the vehicle or how it knows when the keys are in the car. Is it not NFC? What What protocol/tech/whatever is it...
  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I used to have a 2001 Infiniti I30 with 55 watt hid's (reflectors) and I could see for MILES... maybe flashed once, I aimed them well... I put 55 watt 6000k hids in my Optima and have never been impressed... (should I aim them up?) Sure they look bright but dont light up the road nearly ass...
  12. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    About a month ago I bought Michelin X-Ice winter tires for the daughters SX Turbo on tirerack.com and I came across this program while searching their websites links, called ‘Street Survival’. I signed my daughter up right away and got her into the last class of the year here in the NY and the...
