I am looking at getting a used 2016 or 2017 Optima SXL with the 360 view camera, heated/ventilated seats, and a heated steering wheel. That's pretty much a maxed out (options-wise) Optima. I am having trouble finding good info on what UVO eServices allow you to do for a 2016 Optima SXL. I...

From carguy75's posts I got some Total 9000 Quartz 5W40 for a soon-to-be Oil Chg and am now getting concerned about the Manual (Pg 9-6 actually Recommends TOTAL Oil) Showing "ACEA A5 or Above". Total 5W40 Syn is A3/B4.. Local Svc Mgr knows nothing of the ACEA Rating and Warranty and there...

I'm actually interested in the "potential" Nero PHEV and issues with the Optima Phev I currently own a Gen 2 [2016] Chevy Volt. I miss a CUV and the Nero looks like an interesting replacement. One issue is that my local Kia dealer doesn't offer the Optima Plugin [& won't offer the Nero PHEV]...

So, starting shopping in about the last month, have the choices pretty much narrowed down to the 2012 sonata limited 2.0t or the 2012 optima sx. Which should I get, and why? I've got three daughters, on the road a lot for soccer tournaments and such, but sure do like the idea of having...

Hi there, my name is Don, from San Antonio, TX. Currently I drive a somewhat low 2005 (MK4) VW GTI 1.8t, and am looking for an upgrade in a year or so. Joined the forums to learn a little more about the Optima as it's the prime cantidate in my eyes for my next car. Looking for a 13+ White...

Hey guys and gals, I have this question in me that I really want to ask for a long time. Try to google or search on the forums, I don't seem to find the answer. I'm currently have a full Viper alarm set up with tilt sensor/glass break sensor/and of course the back up battery. I tried to...

Is there any sites, here or elsewhere, that have the changes between model years? I live off my iPod (20k songs), does the Optima come with iPod integration or only an aux input? I'd much rather change songs and playlists through the head unit rather than the ipod itself. Is there anything...

Sorry if it's post in the wrong section. So today I went with my friend w/ her 2010 forte that has 74k on it to the kia dealer for service. She fell in love with a left over 2013 optima slx with only 50 miles. MSRP $35275 and it had the technology package & premium touring package. Sale price by...

So tax time is approaching, and I'm considering some pricey mods. Either wheels, coilovers, or exhaust. I'm really leaning towards getting the ark performance exhaust. I have the 2.4 and I'm assuming it's going to sound nice though there are no videos. Does anybody know the average price for the...

Hi. I've been shopping for a new midsize sedan for a few weeks now. I finally caved and took the sx t optima for a ride. Then I went back for a second ride. I am a little concerned about the lack of a track record. The car has everything that I'd want in it. Both outside and in, very very nice...

So that was interesting that the discussion was getting heated on http://www.optimaforums.com/forum/74-vendor-classifieds/14125-utune-performance-tune-2-0-turbo-optima.html regarding some issues that an Optima owner was having with his car with spark plug in cylinder 2 burning up. MDJammin...

I'm looking to make my 1st car purchase either at the end of this year or early 2014. I'm leaning towards a 2014 model, but still want to check out some other cars similar to the Optima. The 2014 models should be hitting dealers soon so I'm just waiting to check them out in person!

Just wanted to introduce myself and get some insight from some owners. I'm Daniel, live in Northeast Florida. I have been browsing the forum for several days now. Looking to buy a 2013 Optima EX with premium package for my wife. I have contacted 3 dealerships in the area about prices. It looks...

Been lurking around the forum for a little bit now. Never thought I'd be looking at a KIA, but they have come a long way with their cars in the last few years. I really love the looks of the Optima and brought this home for a trial last week: My wife drives a '12 Mercedes C300 sport and I...

Hey all, I've been looking at Kia Optimas for the past year or so. I test drove a 2013 SX about 6 months ago and have been interested in buying one since. I have a history of modding cars and will be doing the same with an Optima, if I decide to buy one. Looking through these forums has helped...
