 OK  Who would have thought during the 
demo drive, that the interior dome 
light was positioned too far forward to 
service the rear seats, much less the 
rear floors.  Even basic-bare-bones-
buckets for automobiles, sold in 
America, ironically have big-bold-
bright-bulb-ed interior dome lamps 
better served as light houses on the 
rocky shores of New England with doors 
closed. Understandably the 2001 Optima 
engineers could not have foreseen how 
impossible it would be, to locate any 
item on the rear floors or rear seats 
in our Optimas after dark.  Why?  
Because their drawing boards were well 
lit during the design phase of the 
Optimas interior.  For crying out loud!
