    How many people would still recommend a Stinger to a friend or family member?

    Probably the gearbox then. Mine was the auto. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I should add my G35 was an ‘06 too with the 5 speed auto. The G37 improved things with a 7 speed gearbox and higher gearing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many people would still recommend a Stinger to a friend or family member?

    I’m not who you asked to respond, but I drive to work on some days and take the subway on others. When I drive in, the best I’ve gotten even in ECO mode and purposely light driving is 19MPG, and I get 17 to 18 more often. Granted this is in rush hour, but I do think that this car’s only real...

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    We'll, it turns out the mirror I purchased from eBay doesn't have all of the features. It's not heated and it doesn't automatically fold. So the fitting for it's electrical is different. I guess I'll try sell it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    Thanks. I'll see what I can find online for that once I get the part. I do have the parts needed to remove the door panel, although I want to be careful not to get close to anything side airbag related. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    I got the one from eBay. At that price it's a no brainier. Thank you again so much. I'll probably try to install it myself if I can figure he videos on doing that. If not, I'll take it in to get a quote. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    Thank you so much. I'll go get that. My deductible is $1k, but also, my insurance rate will go up because my wife was in a fender bender that was her fault recently, so we lost our "accident forgiveness" clause. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    I was reversing out of my garage when running late and smashed my passenger mirror. It broke a part of the external mirror cover. The mirror itself still works fine. But there is a lot of wind noise. The part can't be replaced without replacing the entire mirror mechnism which costs $960 just...

    If you've experience squeaky, vibrating or sound in headliner, what year is your Stinger?

    I haven't, and have an 18. Not sure if that helps. Just seems to be pretty random. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many people would still recommend a Stinger to a friend or family member?

    I definitely would if the family member was car enthusiast. Otherwise it would depend on what's important to them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stinger Sight Lines

    The mirror is probably the weakest point of this car, but you get used to it quickly, and with proper placement of the side view mirrors, it hasn’t bothered me. I do have all the safety nannies though. Maybe if I had it without the blind spot assist etc, I’d feel differently about it. Still...

    Has anyone found a good storage box for the Stinger?

    I use a cargo net from my Golf R. The hooks are all there for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kia Stinger Drive Mode Changer Test

    Thanks Drew. Have you come across any software or have you thought of creating any software similar to what Ross-Tech has for VW and Audi vehicles? www.ross-tech.com? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kia Stinger Drive Mode Changer Test

    I wish there was some software like Ross Tech has for VW that would allow us to get in there through the OBD 2 port and make some tweaks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which drive mode do you prefer the most?

    I feel a significant difference between Sport on the steering and suspension and everything else. I’ve also tried changing it on pothole ridden roads like the Clara Barton Parkway or George Washington Memorial Parkway in the DC Metro area and Canal Rd in DC. I can’t drive in Sports mode on those...

    Kia Stinger Age Demographics

    Indeed. And that’s because it’s such a perfect all rounder. You want comfort, you can get it, even with 19” wheels on roads with potholes (try that in a BMW M). Want power, this thing flies, handles really nicely too. Etc. it’s an excellent GT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
