    What was your reaction the first time behind the wheel of a Stinger??

    Oil Change - Longevity & Warranty

    I rather get an oil change every 5000 miles even if I am using top of the line expensive synthetic for peace of mind since I plan to keep the car over ten years... but I completely agree that I am probably being over cautious... Love this car though... Wanna take perfect care of it! :D

    What was your reaction the first time behind the wheel of a Stinger??

    I was surprised, and still am to this day, how poor the visibility is overall. Also, the seats are just not that comfortable... but... I was very impressed and happy with how the car pulled and how much fun it was to drive given the size and weight... not as "engaging" or "raw" as my previous...

    Oil Change - Longevity & Warranty

    We went with 7 quarts of Mobil Super Synthetic 5W-30 and will do the next oil change in 5000 miles... possibly even 4500 to be on the safer side... This was at a local trusted mechanic that my buddy has known for years... The guy was legit and very good... :)

    Service dept jacked up my car

    First call corporate and see what can be done. If that is not satisfactory then contact a legal representative. Good luck and please keep us posted!!

    Oil Change - Longevity & Warranty

    Understood! Thank you! I guess my confusion stems from that the fact that our vehicles are all the same when it comes to the engine/turbo/transmission and yet depending if you're in Canada or the USA or even where in Canada or the USA the owner's manual or dealerships all seem to vary on what...

    Oil Change - Longevity & Warranty

    Hey everyone! I own a 2020 Stinger GT RWD as my signature says. Car is coming up on 6000 miles pretty soon. I am following the maintenance book to the letter when it comes to intervals by mileage or months, but, I am a bit confused about the type of oil I should be using. I have been reading...

    Anyone using RaceChip RS on 2.0T?

    Does it feel faster or quicker than a 3.3TT? Are the performance numbers better? That's fantastic btw!

    My Stinger was first in area to receive RECALL SC196 JUNCTION BOX HECU REWIRE

    Are recall notices/letters sent always by physical mail to a mailing address or are they sent by Kia corporate via electronically such as an email? I travel at times and there are occasions that for months I am not physically able to check the mail at my primary residence. Thanks in advance! :)...

    ATTENTION : Brake rotors and warranty

    I think I am just salty that I had to make 5 visits to a dealership in less than 6 months and 5000 miles of ownership to finally have the problems resolved. Those are five half-days wasted (took them over two hours each time) that I lost from work. Everyone had an excuse at both corporate and...

    (3.3TT) WTB Catback - Borla vs MBRP

    Great! Looks like I am "sold" on the MBRP exhaust! I will just get the exhaust first and see if I want to get tips. Thank you spider55 so much btw! Very helpful and solid information!!! :D Last few questions then... 1 - Are there any downsides to the MBRP exhaust compared to stock exhaust? 2...

    (3.3TT) WTB Catback - Borla vs MBRP

    From the sound clips I am seeing online MBRP seems only slightly louder than stock. How much louder is it on both idle and full throttle? What about lower RPM's when driving around town? Borla is louder but with much more drone, correct? Foolish question but if I get Borla, or MBRP, is it ok...

    (3.3TT) WTB Catback - Borla vs MBRP

    Hey everyone! :) Hope you're all doing well and staying safe! :) I have narrowed down my decision to either Borla ( https://www.borla.com/products/kia-stinger-cat-back-exhaust-system-140736 ) or MBRP (...
