    Lane Keep Assist Setting

    I use active when I’m on long highway drives. Otherwise I use the passive one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Love my Stinger, but a few...issues

    I checked my service report, and I was wrong about the sunroof issue being fixed as part of a TSB. It wasn’t fixed. Mind you, I didn’t have the issue, but I didn’t want to leave you upset with your dealer for not having a TSB. What they did fix was: 1. SA322 rattle noise from tail gate. 2. SC170...

    That’s surprising. I didn’t have any issues with my sunroof, but when I took it in for the fender safety recall, they had a TSB to fix the sunroof and used it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I would have that looked at. Mine works fine when I park front facing in my garage without having to first put it into reverse (2018 GT2) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Those pesky HK headphones....

    Honestly I?ve got the headphones, but find them very uncomfortable. I don?t use them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Please compare the GT2 to previously owned sport sedans

    Yeah, makes sense to wait. The good thing is that they keep adding content. The FY18 didn?t have rear heated seats, a wireless charging pad, or 360 degree cameras. The FY19 has the rear heated seats and the wireless charging pad. I?m not sure about the 360 cam. To be clear, my comments on the...

    Please compare the GT2 to previously owned sport sedans

    Well, I think you?ve hit the perfect choice based on your reply. Getting in both front and rear seats is way easier than the ATS. But the rear seats are not perfect for folks taller than 6? just because of that sloping hatch. I?m not 80, but at 46, I appreciate the comfort/GT nature of this car...

    Please compare the GT2 to previously owned sport sedans

    I can only compare to older sport sedans since I?ve been driving VW GTIs since around 2010 capping off with a 2017 Golf R prior to the Stinger. But I have test driven many current sports sedans. So here goes: Compared to most mainstream sedans, the GTs features are on par if not better. The UI...

    Love my Stinger, but a few...issues

    Interesting. I haven?t experienced any of these issues except #4. I had the whole fader issue that was reported here earlier last year and it was sorted with a new head unit, so perhaps that new head unit also resolved item #2. Maybe I haven?t driven it hard enough to experience #3, but in terms...

    What should KIA do to improve upon the Stinger for their next gen model?

    Number 6 is a very good one. It?s really annoying moving from a car that has this to one that has the button. Much easier this way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which drive mode do you prefer the most?

    Custom with sports steering and suspension, comfort everything else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What should KIA do to improve upon the Stinger for their next gen model?

    Interesting. There are several things you listed that I either haven?t dealt with (rattles), or don?t want (stiffer suspensions). I like the way the suspension is now because I drive into downtown DC about 2 days a week and with all the potholes, this car handles them like a champ, while being...

    Jumping out of Drive

    I have had this happen a few times when I accidentally bumped into the shifter while driving. This is on the GT2 shifter, which is different than the other GT shifters. It?s extremely annoying that you do not need to depress the button to move from drive into Neutral. I?ve raised this to my...

    Kia Stinger PS573 Radio Fade is no longer centered

    To your point, when they replaced my HU (yes, it really is necessary at the moment, which is insane), they accidentally forgot to reconnect one of the wires, leaving the ambient lighting above the glovebox not working. Took me a while to figure out the timing, but when I took it back in I...

    Apple CarPlay Music Issue?

    I haven?t had that identical issue, but I?ve had multiple related issues with my 2018 and CarPlay. I?ll caveat this first that I?m using Google Music, no Apple Music. The issues I have are as follows: 1. If I get a phone call, when I end the call, the music won?t restart. I have to manually...

    Who turns off the Auto Start/Stop feature when they first get in their Stinger?

    DC power does pause. If I?m charging my phone for example through the 12V cigarette adapter. It pauses charging on auto off. So this would be very annoying for a powered radar detector and battery powered detectors are useless. Personally I stopped using my radar detector a while back and just...
