    How many people plan to subcribe to SiriusXM after their trial subscription expires?

    I'd like it to get a break from commercials every once in awhile. My only complaint is with multiple vehicles, I'd like to simply pay the fee once and let the subscription follow me (at least to the cars we have). I refuse to pay for multiple subscriptions I do like a handful of the channels...

    Who uses an automatic car wash on their Stinger?

    I try to avoid them, but if the car gets salty and it's too cold/windy out I'll do it. I'm going to get my own system for washing in the garage like Devo9er I already have a hose in the garage so will rinse, wash, rinse then squeegee the water out. The challenge is to use enough water not to...

    Test drove 2019 Stinger GT AWD - here is what happened

    Agree, there an increasing trend of both salespeople and customers ignorantly (or maliciously) abusing the cars before they're broken in. Yes it may help sell a car to certain customers, but it's definitely why I sought out a very low mileage car - plus a dealer that was surrounded by stop...

    Catch Can Thread

    has anyone pressure/vacuum tested their catch cans? There are several different models being used. I'm planning to seal mine up before install. Sounds like it isn't the end of the world if there's a leak on these connections

    Bluetooth audio issue.

    what phone do you have? I have a pixel XL and similar symptom. I've heard of other folks with this phone having Bluetooth phone audio issues ever since the newest OS update. My phone worked fine with the stinger and other vehicles...now bluetooth works in part by transmitting an incoming our...

    "Part Time" AWD

    will be nice if an affordable LSD becomes available than you can really have the best of both worlds with the AWD then pull the fuse when you want RWD with a LSD. I'll put mine up in the air when I get a chance just to observe the lack of front power (I trust your butt murlinator, but I also...

    "Part Time" AWD

    has anyone put the car on a lift/stands to see if only the rear wheels truly spin if that fuse is pulled?

    The Fuel Grade Poll

    Agreed, the manual says 87 is ok (as a min), but recommends top tier. For those that run tunes(like me), you definitely want to keep parity with what fuel the tune expects. You get more power from higher octane, that's simple and known through countless dynos...if you want less power that's...

    Kia Stinger may not get a second generation

    We love it. I agree, given the development investment they won't likely discontinue anytime soon. I'm hoping to see an electric version!...would be a Tesla rival in a few yrs Incidentally I've driven a rental Kia and currently have a rental Hyundai for work... amazing how much is shared from...

    Catch Can Thread

    I'm going to follow tork's suggestion and include a check/one-way valve on my PCV CC. may not be necessary, but cheap insurance

    Help ! Kia Stinger Died In the Middle of the road.

    interesting experience. Glad there was a crack mechanic whom figured it out as that's not what anyone would have guessed. Good job kia service! Curious if more people have the same issue...

    19s or 20s??

    I'm also shopping for another set of wheels (doing summer/winter setup here in PA). 20" looks too big for me and thinner sidewalls than I like. I'll be sticking with 18-19". Lots of wheels look good on this car! I've got 5-6 I'm deliberating about. Will share as decision narrows.

    Plugs.... here goes nothing!

    I just replaced my plugs in advance of a JB4 - I also kept the intake in, however, taking the coil out of the center passenger was a pain. You had to bend it so much the flexible plug extension pulled out of the coil. You can re-assemble, but just shows you how tight the space is. Next time I'm...

    New Dynamic-AWD coming soon to a Stinger near you!

    LSD isn't REQ'd, but probably a good idea. However, there's a thread with the LSD diffs breaking so not sure whether they're ready for prime time. Not sure what was breaking, but should be easy for kia to fix. I'd like a LSD in my AWD if it's not too expensive. My current WRX has LSD in center...

    New Dynamic-AWD coming soon to a Stinger near you!

    I wonder whether it's just a software update meaning it could be applied to all existing stingers. Maybe a good business for dealers to get into - offering reflashes

    The Fuel Grade Poll

    Not sure whether it's been stated but you should be using both premium and top-tier fuel (see owners manual) https://www.toptiergas.com/ If you can't afford to take care of a vehicle you shouldn't buy it. Sorry if this is too direct for some to hear I'll just add that we all know the stinger...
