  2. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    I can't tell you how many friends, relatives and acquaintances have been surprised (or even shocked) when they've looked closely at my Optima's and realized how well-equipped and well-appointed they are. Granted, both my Optima's have been SX-L's, and therefore fully-loaded, but people just...

    Names Matt. From WA. These welcome posts shouldn't be required. Not everyone is new to auto forums. This only limits new owners access to important and pertinent information they require. This has been stupid. Now I wait to post what I NEED to.
