Tires that came on the car. No scuffs, abrasions or any issues whatsoever. Available for pick-up in Toronto. Doubtful anyone will want to pay enough to justify shipping. Any reasonable offers welcome.

You'll be more frustrated and disappointed when the dealer gives you the run-around about this well-known problem.

Bluetooth texting was already there since v.12.5. Very poor functionality compared to other cars. The media display still can't show you the name of a song longer than a few characters because the dumb graphic is blocking the space where the title should be and the title does not scroll. I...

It has manual mode just by using the paddles in D. If you want it to stay in manual mode, you have to have transmission set to sport mode (either by using Sport or in Custom). Further, turning the nannies off should also prevent red-line up-shifts. Some people report that even when in Sport...

Yes, and hopefully they will extend that honour with a software update for the 2018's. Some of us have been complaining about no "off switch" since before we even got our cars...

I'd rather have the software updates that are on the 2019 models than a gift I can buy myself in the store if I wanted it. I don't like being punished for being an early adopter.

Beyond belief if it is not even an option in the US when those other KIA vehicles already have it.

Up. Was that not already discussed above (I mean way back)?

For some reason known only to KIA, the cars in Australia do not do this. There are always needless complications with electronics....

Yes they can, but only in sport mode or Custom if transmission mode is set to sport.

Too late. And they won't get a "gift" and the MSRP is going up. Not sure what your point is?

Yah, we just get the car properly equipped...

Yes you can and the LSD comes standard on sister car G70 AWD (in Canada at least). The LSD does properly/mechanically what the electronics try to simulate with complex braking manoeuvres. A poor cousin to a proper LSD. They are available and can be installed...the remaining question is...

You would rather move the shifter at every stop light than just disabling the ISG completely (for that trip) when you start the car?!?! Sounds bizarre to me when you can easily disable it per stop by just not pressing too hard on the brake pedal. They already designed a per-stop override with...

Yah, they stuck. The Michelin Pilot Sport summer tires on the 19s are quite nice.
