My 2012 only has 67k (67065). I am sitting in my car smoking because that isn't cool anymore. (ironically it's not "lit" according to my kids) Anyway I installed cross drilled and slotted rotors and here in DC they have SAVED MY LIFE. Two cars were in a dual and one cut me off right before he...

CPO 2017 Optima LX 17000 miles for about $15,700 I looked at an Optima and went to make the deal today. Drove the car, very nice, but smelled like a pipe with perfume cover. Promised it could be removed, but did not take it. I looked a new one and back and forth - but did not want new one...

It seems to be the case, mine does not have it, I thought it was on Limited only, but have a look here, none of the limited cars have it...

Going on the 405N around 70MPH, hit the accelerator to pass this car and POOF, didn't hear anything but I noticed something wrong, looked at my RPM and it was at 0. Car wouldn't start again and had tow it home. Thank god when I went home and did a little googling I found out about the recall...

So I drive my optima to my fiance's parents house for her sisters B-Day gathering. I make sure to park out of the way because they were expecting a moderate crowd, and lots of vehicles. We have a good time and yada yada yada, we leave. It was raining so that I did not really pay attention my...

Hey guys. This site has been great for info when I had my SXL. Reason I joined was to post some aftermarket parts that I took off my SXL before I sold her, but I see you need to have a min of 50 posts to post in the classified section. 49 to go I suppose! Thanks and have a good one!

last weekend on our way home from Sudbury, I hit a moose on hwy 69. luckily my wife and I walked away unscathed. im still wandering aimlessly in awe how that happened. Just google moose hits and you'll see why. unfortunately my beautiful KIA 2014 SX TURBO was not so lucky. I was all excited too...

Went to a local Kia dealer today to test drive a white fully loaded SX-T and was happy to do so. The looks are better in person then in a picture, it rode nicer then my 2014 SX-T, the tech gadgets are a plenty and the 30 leases horsepower did not phase me one bit. My favorite feature was the...

Hey guysthe bar and the intake touch which causes a rattle.i know this goes back to 2012 but seems what ive tried hasn't worked. Or at least work temporarily. i bought some foam from Home depot but the heat seems to just desintegrate it after a short while. it just melts away. I tried cutting...

Hey all, Been lurking since I picked up my car in December, figured it's time to join up to be a part of the conversation. My name is Dylan and I'm a relatively new owner of a 2015 Kia Optima EX 2.4L, which I am loving every minute with. I got a screaming deal on a used (20900 km) ride from a...

2014 KIA OPTIMA LX - Copart me give you a bit of background - I live in Dubai. Many many cars are imported here from the US and Japan due to vehicle age laws, and other things like that. When I went to see my car, I thought this is brilliant - it had 17000 miles on the clock, no issues, dealer...

I'm very disappointed with the fuel mileage of my '14 and really thinking about trading it in for a non hybrid. My most recent fillup was 10.23 l/100km or 23 mpg. I do not drive it hard. The only thing I can think is that I have lots of very short drives to/from work. I buy regular unleaded...

here is the damage to my car .Some jerk ran a yellow light making a left hand turn My insurance company was fantastic and my kia added insurance is paying for genuine Kia replacement parts $ 9500 dollars later Neither myself nor wifey was hurt no airbags. The salesman was more upset than I...

Let me first start off by saying that I just rolled over 10,000 miles. Everything had been going great. I'd received more compliments in about 11 months of ownership with this car than I had in 3 years with my 06' GTO. The lines on the Optima are fantastic. As far as looks were concerned, I...

I w as driving around today and saw a white Kia andbelow the fog lights it had one solid led that outlined the bottom of the fog light kind of like the LED's you would find on an Audi. it also had individual LED lights on the back the outlined the brake lights. anyone seen this before?

I managed to total my 2012 EX-T (with premium package) this week. Had recently replaced tires (5k miles ago) and a new battery and oil changes two weeks. Sigh. The one bright spot is I have full replacement value on my insurance policy. Cloudy area will be, Kia no longer puts the "-T" in EX...

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...
