    Tips for checking tire pressure

    Does TPMS just show up at random, when it notices a difference of 2lbs or so and alerts the driver? Or is there a way to access it via the menu system (because I sure can't find it!!!). I really want to be able to just check what the tire pressure is at when I want. I've seen it displayed on my...

    Kia Stinger PS573 Radio Fade is no longer centered

    You are also in hot-land AZ! I live in Oregon. Granted, I'll take the 88 today! Awesome!!! Over 90 30 days in the Portland area this summer - awesome! But overall, we are an 80's summertime place and a mid-40's winter time location. If there is overheating involved, I doubt my climate is going...

    Kia Stinger PS573 Radio Fade is no longer centered

    Oh, that IS interesting... For me, just owning a GT, I don't have UVO GPS/NAV, I've just been using CarPlay anyway. Just talk and tell my phone to go to xyz, customer, etc... So I guess I don't have the issue. Now, when I back up, the sound does go down so as to hear the beeping and warnings. I...

    Kia Stinger PS573 Radio Fade is no longer centered

    So Matt, is this ANY type of audio or JUST when listing to AM/FM for long periods of time? I just picked up my GT last week in Denver, and drove it home to the Portland, OR area in two-days. A 6 hour and 12 hour day. Radio/XM or CarPlay going the entire time. No issues... Curious to know if...

    Kia Stinger PS573 Radio Fade is no longer centered

    And a pitstop is a recall or?... It is under warranty and dealer will do it at no-charge? Not quite sure here... Also, is this on ALL Stingers or just certain VIN numbers or?... My GT was built in 5/18... Lastly, wow, I really don't like seeing that dash completely pulled apart like that. IT...

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    Speaking of sealing what did you use? I'm thinking of using Troy Sowers Ceramic technique (he's easy to find on YouTube)... Any suggestions I'm all ears. Thanks!

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    Awesome shots man! Almost did the blue also. But then showed the wife and kids the color options (photos I airplay'd up onto the TV) and they did NOT like the blue. Oldest said it looked cheap or like plastic. I thought it was GREAT! But hey, I was out-voted and there was another that had "it...

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    Have had my White Stinger w/Tinted Windows, GT, AWD, DriveWise, Red on Black interior for 8 days now. Over my Mazda6 it's night and day. Granted, the Mazda6 after 110k miles has NO rattles and is running amazingly well and smooth, etc... a problem-free car. But as for driving dynamics, seat...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Very interesting. Perhaps all Stingers come with tinted windows?... Do they all come with the Xpel or 3m protectant? Online, you can order that, but they are extras... Very bizarre. I wonder if someone ordered it after the fact, the dealer put it on and they backed out? Just very strange IMO...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Murlinator is correct (see below). I didn't trade it in. Just showed my title (proof of ownership of the Mazda), and presto, $3k off the Stinger. Just a marketing gimmick of shorts to justify giving another $3k off year-end Stingers. The list has almost every car on it! The one benefit of doing...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Thanks SeoulStinger! I'm outta the Portland area, and when needing a AWD version of a GT, w/Red on Black interior + DriveWise package, w/white paint, suddenly it was a REALLY narrow selection. I hunted inventory in all of CA, OR, WA, ID, UT, and AZ. I ended up finding one in Denver, CO! So, I...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Yah, it does appear to have tinted windows, but we'll see... I've looked at the other photos and this appears to be the case. I was going to do that anyway, but they are already like that it appears. Now to Ceramic coat! I might put a clear braw on part of the hood, we'll see, but that costs...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Evidently they gave it a synthetic oil IV last night and it's doing much better today. ; ) Horrible joke I know, just couldn't resist. Let me just take a moment to say that 73?, dark blue sky, crisp clear air, working outside today in Beaverton, OR... not sure where else could be more ideal...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    I fly out tonight, pick it up tomorrow! Very excited I must say. Based on looking at KIA.com inventory numbers looks like quite a few folks were holding out for this and next month to get a Stinger. For me, my gamble paid off with KIA throwing another $3k at the car with "Conquest Cash" which...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    You are awesome! Good luck! I'm on the other side of the tracks. I didn't have to learn the hard way as it were, because I didn't have any money, and was laid off in 2009. Had to live on scraps for a long time until my own business took off. Cash in envelopes for each category type of thing...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    If you are going to immediately buy it out, put nothing down. However, if you are leasing for most of the term (33 months or so until they come back with incentives), if you can work it to not put anything down, then don't. Here's why: A. You have $1k more for the slightly higher payment a...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Right. Everyone has to feel comfortable with their decision at any price. I look at it this way: "How long do I need to work to make $1,400 after taxes?" Meaning, I need to make about $2,000 worth of a paycheck first, to pay the dealer - or anyone - $2,000. In that case, I figure I can spend...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    The Lease Cash is pretty hefty on the GT2 I believe (can't recall the number). But if at first, the dealer is taking off 5% only?... IMHO, that's not enough?... I would suggest going to AutoByTel.com and looking up the GT2 and seeing what the invoice is... Well, okay, here you go: ? Invoice is...

    *****2019 US Kia Stinger*****

    I live in Oregon, and Tacoma, WA is a big port that receives a LOT of Stingers. They rolled in quickly last year, so I imagine early October we'll see a few in the Oregon/WA dealerships. Nothing yet... I do wonder if they are already on-shore, but at the car docks waiting for October to...
