Replying to: newbie08 (Mar 14, 2009 8:32 am) My Optima EX cost around 22.5K and has no hood light.My 97 Chrysler Town & Country LXi cost 33K and had no hood light. I cannot remember a car I've had that had that a hood light.Out of curiosity,what car have you owned that had that feature? I vaguely remember having a hood light on some auto I had owned,but I cannot remember what it was.

Replying to: newbie08 (Mar 13, 2009 6:45 pm) KIA doesn't have automatic locking doors when I slide it out of park or get to a certain speed, but my Ford Focus did. And it jacked the price up on the Focus. Each one of these little items keep the price higher. That is why KIA can build a good car at a good price. They have decided what drivers REALLY need and what they can do without. It keeps the price to a minimum. If I need to lock my doors I just hit the lock button to lock them all. I can feel your pain a little when it comes to the light under the hood. I know what you mean. I missed it on the last four cars I had. Maybe cars run better these days and they don't think you'll break down on the side of the road and need that light. And with KIA (keeping that price low) it could be one more item that would take the price the other way.. Just my two cents worth... Still love my 2007 Optima LX 5 spd auto... |

Replying to: backy (Mar 15, 2009 9:53 am) I need to take one thing back.... my Optima has only ONE hood strut. I just went out and checked.. Regardless I just throw it up an that is that.. I do miss the light under the hood to check the oil in my dark garage. I think one of those shielded work-light that hook onto the inside of the hood work great. You guys have a good day..
