Silly to keep this thread alive, but YES, what a nice unexpected gift! I haven't owned a nice headphone since the old audiophile days of the 1960s & 70s (remember turntables, pre-amps, mixer-amps, and tower speakers?). These Harman / Kardon Duet NC headphones weren't exactly 'free' though...

As noted elsewhere on this excellent Forum, I suffered a 'fatal' (dead) battery on my new GT, within a few hundred miles of driving it away from the dealership. This was clearly the dealer's fault, and a new battery was installed under warranty. After studying the new Owner's Manual (can you...

As a Happy New Year update: My local dealer tested the battery, and confirmed that it would not hold a charge. They installed a new one, and the car operates perfectly now. I want to mention that I purchased a new CTEK US 3300 Battery Charger for the Stinger, due to: * Its higher...

I just received my US-version of this recall notice (NHTSA 18V-754), dated Dec 20, 2018. I called my local dealer and scheduled a time for the initial inspection. The dealer admitted that I would be the Test Case (the first), and that they would need the car for 3 or 4 hours, as they were...

I was seeking a comfortable, quiet, capable, and affordable all-season tire setup for winter use on my AWD GT2. Ended up with 4 new General Altimax RT43 XL V-rated tires (235/45R18), mounted on new 18x8 Moda MD26 wheels. This combination lowered unsprung rotational mass ~50 pounds (a great...

Thank everyone for their replies! I have an appointment at my KIA dealer next week, and this should be an easy issue to repair. Just disappointed in the dealership who sold me this new car, as they MUST have known that the battery was kaput. Of the dozens of new cars I have purchased in...

Hello All, I am a forum NuB, just picked up my 2018 GT2, and would like to share some frustrations with the car's battery. I purchased this "new" car, which had been sitting in the dealership's showroom for ~10 months. I'm guessing the car saw many looky-loos over those months, operating...
