    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    In Canada, where there is this nasty thing called winter, all Stingers are AWD and all are some version of GT trim level and all come with 19" and summer-only tires. You have to buy your own all-seasons or winter tires (and wheels if you want a complete swappable set).

    The Fuel Grade Poll

    This is what I have been harping on about for the last month and peeved that such simple info has not been available. Looks like the mystery is becoming clearer now...but still no official numbers to confirm anything.

    Running E85 blend on the Stinger

    None, according to the owner's manual. "E85" fuel is an alternative fuel comprised of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, and is manufactured exclusively for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. ?E85? is not compatible with your vehicle. Use of ?E85? may result in poor engine performance and...

    What are some of the quirks, features, issues you hate most about your Stinger?

    It should not shift while in Sport mode. They may have updated the software since the one you have in your car? And hopefully there will be another update soon with the truly manual mode for up-shifting, too.

    What are some of the quirks, features, issues you hate most about your Stinger?

    ALL manual mode automatics down-shift when you come to a stop--even the very few properly designed ones that will NOT up-shift and do let you bounce off the rev limiter. upsidedown you are asking for something that will never happen. I do think the car should be designed not to up-shift...

    OEM Center Console+Cup Holder with Cover Group Buy

    Why reply to a troll? We could all go into every thread and say that whatever enthusiast topic we're not 100% interested in is a waste of time or needless. Only exactly what I want or need is important and should be discussed. This forum is for adults, not juveniles. I would go so far as to...

    What are some of the quirks, features, issues you hate most about your Stinger?

    1 Agree. Needs a bi-modal exhaust option as is already available in Australia and that was supplied on the European Car of the Year candidate vehicle. 2. Subaru and other cheap vehicles plus Volvo and many other more expensive vehicles also use the same touch system as Audi and Mercedes. So...

    OK...my question was about lossless quality, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

    USB Music

    And sorry to be pedantic, but you are using WMA Lossless Best Quality (470-940 Kbps)?

    Stinger GT braking vibration

    Sounds like brilliant design to me. Very glad it works that way. I don't want to fiddle with switches or have the car "brain" try to figure out what I want to do, especially with ISG. Simple ability to control it with a change in pressure.

    USB Music

    Great thread!! I gave up using USB stick in my current car because FLAC and/or the large volume of music files was too slow to load (initially and if changing albums/artists) and album art didn't work. Use an iPod instead, which works perfectly. I would love to go back to USB stick when I get...

    Stinger GT braking vibration

    The problem you are describing is not happening while you are applying the brakes, so how is it a braking vibration? Warped rotors, which is what 99% of all braking vibration is caused by, will vibrate more the faster you are going and the harder you brake. The opposite of your situation. How...

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    Saw Panthera/Thunder Grey in person today and can confirm on an overcast day it is almost black. I think in bright light/sunshine it lightens up a bit. My trip was to see the red Nappa interior, which I planned to order with the Panthera/Thunder exterior. Sorry, it is not as dark as the...

    Stinger GT braking vibration

    I have experienced vibration from the brakes after power washing wheels (and therefore also the brakes) on cars in the past. Just lasts a very brief time and then back to normal.

    Wheel spacers on the Kia Stinger

    Great discussion... Let's figure-out what is the max offset that can be added without inducing ANY rubbing of the tires on wheel wheel/liner/etc.

    Kia Stinger Magnaflow Exhaust

    Great experiment and possibly the simplest and cheapest mod for everyone to start with (unless replacing exhaust system anyway). Look forward to hearing about the results.

    Snow driving

    Do you mean traction control? If you have AWD, you don't have an LSD (unfortunately), nor if you had one could you turn it off.

    Swapping out the open cupholders for the ones with a lid on the Kia Stinger?

    One is the same size. The other is slightly smaller.
