It think there is value in seeing if Optimas develop a pattern of issues as their miles increase. The individual problem threads we've had are informative but having a central thread makes patterns of failure easier to pinpoint.
So let's hear from owners of '11's and '12's with 30K miles or more traveled. Can be LX, EX, Hybrid or 2.0T. Describe the problems and the approximate mileage they occurred.
Keep it simple-just describe them and note if they reoccurred.
And no long stories about dealer ineptness or mistreatment please. Just 'At X miles this happened, at Y that happened'. Can be anything from a door handle to a wrist pin.
Can be subjective, like 'started squeaking' or 'rattling' or 'feels looser'.
The aim is to see what parts frequently wear or break over time.
I'd start but my '11 is very lightly traveled.
