I wanted a center arm rest for both passengers, a sharper, prettier car, better positioned cup holders, and a more roomy interior, so I got a new 2014 Kia Optima. I got a fully loaded SX, and it's a piece of junk! So much stuff has gone wrong with this car. Nothing major has happened, but all...

I found the source of a buzzing noise in the headliner. The noise sounded to me like it was coming from the dashboard, but I didn't hear the buzzing noise until I hit on the headliner. My aveo (trust me, I'm embarrassed to say that I owned one of those, but the reason I did is a long story) had...

A local paint and body shop quoted me $50 per wheel to repaint RS wheels. He told me they'd be using the same paint that they use on a vehicle body. Don't they use a stronger, special paint for wheels? Body paint scratches and swirls extremely easily, but I've never noticed this problem on...

FS: 17 inch 5,000 mile LTZ wheels, tires, AND tpms. $5-650 shipped! $450 local pickup PM me. 3 of the wheels are in mint condition and one wheel has two light scratches. I'm selling the wheels and tires together for $5-650 shipped or $450 for local pickup. The tires alone wouldn't cost much...

Hi all, I have a manual 6 speed turbo. If I don't rev the rpms up to about 3,000 on the first gear, I'm usually getting my butt rode. That's way above the suggested shift point and kills gas mileage. Maybe it's the small engine, the manual transmission, or PEOPLE! Why do some people feel the...

I've owned my car for over a year now and this picture is after I used chemical guys clay bar/super lube and chemical guys jet seal 109. No micro scratches at all. That's due to a lot of hard work and care. I live in a very dusty climate.

The car finally got picked up by the tow truck after we waited on it for four hours. The hail was at least grape fruit sized. Some pieces looked as big around as CDs. Luckily my wife wasn't injured. Now she knows to check the weather and not drive when there are hail warnings. Unfortunately she...

I have found a company that sells pre-cut paint protection film for areas all over the sonic hatch and sedan! Most importantly for me, is that they offer a custom fit rear bumper protector for the sedan AND hatch. The $9.99 bumper protector is made out of their ultimate film that's self healing...

Hi all, I'm very reluctant to give someone my money without having a way of knowing that I'll receive the product I purchased. What are your experiences with buying stuff from people on here. Did you use PayPal, Ebay, Amazon, or did you just give them your money and hoped for the best? Thank...

I've seen some RS stock wheels for sale on here, but they're all sold! If anyone has a set of nice, undamaged, perfect condition RS wheels, I'm 100% serious about buying a set. I don't want to get ripped off by all the gm parts websites, so if you want my money, please take it! I have the money...

Dealer "installed" white or black painted wheels question?? Hi All, I contacted the dealer body shop, service department, and a salesman about the dealer "installed" black or white painted wheels. None of them knew what I was talking about. The salesman really puzzled me when he was stumped...

If the music is low, when I first accelerate I can hear the sound of water moving in the dashboard. It sounds like a small stream. Is this normal?

I HATE the way you have to adjust the fade on the touchscreen. It's this stupid dot that you can move around anywhere on the picture of the car and it's really difficult to deal with. I just want a simple back/front fade setting. On to the questions. I know that some of you aren't satisfied with...

I finally got a sonic, and surprisingly, an LTZ sonic. I got this brand new turbo manual LTZ for a little over $18,000 with tax, title, registration, and a 6 year bumper to bumper GM warranty with no deductible included in that price. With a credit sore of only around 600 (long story), I scored...

As some of you know, you have to drill out the front license plate holder and that leaves four holes that have to be filled with retaining clips. The clips look much better than the license plate holder, but still aren't the greatest. I found the OEM grille for only $63.58 on...
