Flash69 10 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 My comment was also regarding that I have heard that the new Optima's aren't as good as the older one's. Not sure on the accuracy of that, just what I have heard too on other forums. I have heard and read the same thing. They changed their warranty about 5 years ago and it's now not as good as it was.
