Hi all, my name is Corey and I’m from the land down under (Australia!) So I'm in the market for a new car in Australia and the Kia Optima (MY14/15 with NA motor) seems to tick all the boxes for me, sporty look, comfortable sedan with lots of space, impressive technology and not overly expensive...

Hello all! I've been a lurker for a few months now and am really close to closing on 2012-13 Optima. My only hang up is, I am an IT for a large corporation and do a lot of driving over central and northwest Oklahoma and by a lot of driving I mean at the very least 1500-2000mi a month and...

Thanks for the warm welcome earlier. And sorry for taking so long to follow up with this thread. I wanted more up-to-date car reliability information that made the differences between cars clearer. So a few years ago I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now updates...
