Finally snowed in mass🙌, been waiting to try out the stinger in the snow. Did not disappoint. It cut the snow like nothing. The only problem I had was trying to keep my foot off the gas. 😁 other than that great handling not problem with any sliding or getting stuck.

Conditions roads not plowed (well barely) I say about a foot of snow not visible road all snow.. temp 28 and stinger in comfort mode also on all weather factory tires. If I got winter tires would be even better I would imagine.

found an empty parking lot and yes u can have fun especially in sport mode with traction control off .Had no problems lol

First snow in Jersey also...not enough to play but enough to let me know I won't have any problems this winter. You have AWD?

Here's a pic from when I got home. ... FB_IMG_1575319481616.jpg

Is there any way to get the wipers into "SERVICE MODE" without first shutting the car off?
Clearing snow from the windshield near the wipers is super annoying as we can't raise the wipers (They hit the hood)...

I want to be able to get them into service mode while the car is running (to clean ice off the wipers etc)


Oh, and AWD V6 with 4 new snow literally amazing

Thank for the confirmation...

Kia really should have added a heating element under the wipers... At least for Canadian and northern US models (or anywhere it snows)
