I thought the Auto-Hold was a temporary feature used only when you are stopped on a hill and need to start without rolling back. I don't think it is intended to be turned ON all the time.

Great idea that looks good. Unfortunately, I tore mine up a bit getting it off. They are pretty fragile plastic.

And then there are those of us who defy definition, who are outside of the norm, who have been "car guys" forever, who have never grown up. It's not a mid-life crisis for me, a category long since past. My signature line belies my passion for cars, if a bit below status level until recently...

The 18" wheels and all-weather tires are an OPTION that the dealer must check in order to get them with the car. I know, I ordered a GT1 that way (although the order disappeared) but the paperwork was clear on that. I think dealers with AWD think the all-season tires should be on AWD cars --...

Could be a servo in the automatic braking system. Have it checked.

Yes, I read Royalstorm's last post and that has to be the Stop/Go feature. Turn that OFF (3rd button over on the center console) and see if it stops. Agree 100% with Kazz on that one.

Sounds like rotor warp to me. You might have a caliper piston dragging so I'd have the brakes checked at the dealer.

Another possible factor on just the plug fouling is fuel additives (i.e. brands and quality). They make a point of using "top tier" fuel, although you never really know where the fuel comes from or what's in it.

I would have gone with the blue except that my GTO is exactly that same color so I needed some contrast in my garage.

The back end with the wide 19" tires, quad exhausts and a centered Stinger on the hatch lid. After all, that's what most people will be seeing. [driving]

As a former service manager, I see this in a slightly different light (pun intended.) Technicians get paid by the job, not by the hour. If the Kia rate manual allows 2.0 hours for an OEM installation or repair (just guessing from Triumvph's OP) then that technician lost 3.5 hours of pay that...

Add one more. Your willingness to try and track my missing Stinger order saved me weeks of waiting. If I hadn't been able to re-order and get the car, I would have come up and bought one from you. As a moderator of more than one forum, I know that negative comments far outweigh the good ones...

In a week of driving and 600 miles, I have not yet had any problem. SubWoofers work fine, sound is balanced. GT2.

If Kia Corporate wants to sell cars, and they see dealers trying to rape the public with unrealistic fees and charges (compared to honest dealers), I think they will make it known that overcharging is not in Kia's best interests. I think these grossly overcharged, manipulated sticker prices...

Iron containing rotors rust on the surface very quickly, almost as soon as the water dries. It's possible that the area covered by the pads is protected while the exposed area gets a very quick, fine coating of surface oxidation. When you drive away, the difference in surface friction causes...

Have you driven one? Mine is only a week old and 500 miles, but so far it's perfect. No problems, everything works, tight, solid, no complaints.

My salesman asked me why someone my age would drive a car like the Stinger (he was nice about it, just curious.) I told him "some people have to haul kids, some people haul groceries, some people need to haul hay, some people just wanna haul ass." [biggrin][driving]

Interesting comment Kazz, because I have found some of the same. The accelerator pedal requires a bit more pressure than my GTO and it is not always easy to get just the right amount of travel to downshift smoothly without turning ALL the horses loose when doing a "normal" move around traffic...

Yeah, sorry. Sarcasm doesn't read well on the 'net. And at my age, I forget what and where I said things on occasion.

In the U.S. and according to my dealer, no one (NO ONE) knows what the next month offers will be until -- next month. They don't release anything even to dealers on that.
