    What would you change?

    So just got the car back.. Nobody at Kia could really tell me much about the remote start, except that they thought it was a separate fob, which was very disappointing. I took a pic of the second fob next to the smart key. The great news is that remote start can be activated through the smart...

    Dennis Eakin Kia in Killeen.. Should be just about ready for pick-up. I'm getting antsy.

    What would you change?

    Update: My Stinger is at the dealer having remote start installed as this post is being typed.. unless my parts and service manager are seriously confused, I?d say that remote start is available through Kia. I checked last week at Best Buy to price alternatives.. nobody has anything for the...

    What would you change?

    Yes.. my car has the smart mode, but you have to drive it super hard to get it to switch to sport mode. Most of the time it cycles between comfort - which is kinda boring, and eco - which is kinda boring. Someone stated that this is a learning transmission/computer, so I?m going to give it a...

    What would you change?

    That?s odd.. my service manager said that parts should be tomorrow for the remote start.. gave me a price quote for parts and labor. I?ll keep everyone posted regarding whether or not this comes to pass.

    Finally did a full throttle run

    I have the RWD GT1 without the ADA package.. Mine has launch control.

    What would you change?

    I see what you're saying... I have my custom set up so that I have most of the settings to comfort. The ONLY thing I'm really concerned about is the shift points and throttle response. I would just like a setting for that particular characteristic that is closer to the middle of sport and...

    What would you change?

    I think maybe you?re missing the point of my initial post. I don?t want the engine and transmission to work the way it does in eco. I want it to be more aggressive than that. My problem is that comfort and eco seem to be essentially the same thing. The way it shifts, the shift points and...

    What would you change?

    I?ve tried that already.. the problems I have aren?t with the suspension, but with the hard shifts and tranny not shifting into 8th at highway speeds. With custom set up so that I have comfort suspension and sport engine/transmission, the car behaves the same.

    What would you change?

    I agree with a lot of the comments above, but I'd have to say my biggest gripe is the driving dynamics in comfort mode.. To me there is zero difference between eco and comfort. Sport mode is awesome, but it doesn't every shift into 8th gear, which kills hwy fuel economy. It also provides...

    Kia Stinger Hatch/Trunk Rattle TSB With New Parts

    I've gone through the same exact thing.. I took mine to the dealer and had them perform the TSB.. It doesn't rattle as badly, but there is still a rattle over larger bumps.. I have taken everything that isn't strapped down out of the rear and spare time area.. Ugh.

    Greetings from Texas

    Hi all, I pulled the trigger on a Black GT1 last weekend and I've been all smiles since! I traded a 2016 civic for this vehicle and it shares the garage with a 2017 Camaro SS.. After purchase I realize that I have rendered the Camaro obsolete, as this car is every bit as fun to drive. I look...
