I always liked bright blue metallic. My first new car was bright blue metallic -- a '70 Plymouth GTX with white vinyl top and white interior. My current '05 GTO is bright blue metallic with blue leather. Love(d) both of them - still have the GTO. But the wife is a red-lover so my order is...

The flaw in that logic is that interest is always front-end loaded, so you pay the interest off first and less of the car as the balance shifts. If you pay off a 60 month load in 30 months, you will have paid the lion's share of interest up front.

I prefer not to mess with catch cans for several reasons. First, Kia warranties this engine for 10 yrs/100,000 miles. If they know the engine will survive the longest powertrain warranty in the industry with their maintenance schedule, that should suggest that the catch can is not needed under...

I had planned on buying the car outright. The current financing rate ends on Feb. 28. Is there any rumor what Kia will do beginning March 1, MurlinatoR? If the rate is lower than I can make on my investments, obviously financing is better than a lump sum. I don't pay interest to anyone...

As closely engineered as the Stinger seems to be (good video on YouTube about the engineering considerations and compromises), it would be a bit risky to change the outer circumference of the tire/wheels in that front wheel well due to the ventilation and aerodynamics at that location. Might...

No, I just ordered it two weeks ago. Kia rep told the dealer it would be early March. The I hear something about parts being held up because of Olympics traffic or some such....just a bit paranoid.... [dunno]

OMG, I hope the Olympics don't hang up my order another month. [?|]

I don't have my Stinger yet, but guessing from the "learning" ability of the system, and a rumor I recall from another post (how's that for guessing....but I digress....) it may be that your driving style is for frequent throttle romps and the transmission is only remaining in lower gears in...

Wow! That's a "loss" of almost $1,000 to pay a lease off. Doesn't look quite so good anymore....

This may be some concession to the EPA CAFE fuel requirements to be able to post that mileage on the sticker. The stop/go is today's version of older kludges such as the 1-4 shift-skip on my GTO and TransAm to keep the car in lower gear on normal starts. You get used to it.

No shame, pdmit. I'm 74 and I bought one. Always a car guy and never grew up.

I don't think that question has been asked, only assumed. My case is a bit different and here's how I can pay cash for a car (or play the lease game.) I was drafted in the Viet Nam war -- pulled out of graduate school, lost my research -- and spent two years playing in the jungle. My father...

As a pilot, you always go through a pre-flight checklist before taking off. That's essential even if we have flown the plane hundreds of times. It takes no more time to press the "no stop" button than it does to press the Park button. That may be an annoyance if you forget, but dead once at a...

Most "legitimate" car reviewers will use standardized conditions for testing. I'd trust C&D, RT, Edmonds, Motor Trend and other long time testers, especially when they have been around for decades. 4.7 seems a touch conservative, but that's respectable and a way for Kia to CYA and make sure...

I have never had access to the expensive "coatings," but I've never had a car in a carwash, either. Spray washes do not remove all of the very fine grime from even waxed surfaces, and they seldom if ever do a good job on the wheels/tires. In recent years I have used Black Magic silicone "wax"...

Google "Blu-Ray Ripper" There is a free version available. Haven't used it but looks good.

Not all phones have removable SD cards to increase default capacity.

Saw a white Stinger in Neosho, MO yesterday. Too far away to tell trim level. Only one I've seen on the road so far.

You want Fittipaldi to actually DRIVE a Stinger? OK. https://youtu.be/S6xqMkvED54

Uh, do you really think Taylor drove the car? Backwards? Not to defend the ad, but all car commercials these days show virtually nothing of the vehicle. It's all eye candy and emotional appeal. Get technical with 24-valve, dual OHC, twin-scroll twin turbos and everyone (except us) falls asleep.
