    MBRP Catback

    Thanks for the review. It makes sense that manufacturers wouldn't bother making an all-new exhaust that is barely louder than stock. I guess bimodal would still be my first choice. I too like to keep it as quiet as possible for freeway driving. Plenty of people are looking for a louder exhaust...

    Arizona Roll Call

    Another Tucson owner here. I've gone to the last couple of Cars & Coffee events. I usually show up and leave fairly early. If anyone else is planning on going let me know.

    MBRP Catback

    Interesting... I kept hearing the MBRP was one of the quieter ones. I wonder if the stainless version is any different. On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is factory exhaust and 10 is the loudest exhaust you've heard, how noisy is it when you're not getting on it? Is cruising and idle loud, or just...

    Kia Stinger Dash Cam Discussions

    One possible reason the sunroof fuse isn't switched is that if it's left open with the car off, it might allow you to still close it. I haven't tested that. I can also confirm the sunroof fuse didn't work for parking mode on my dash cam. I used the "charger" fuse for switched power and "door...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Like I said, no way are those prices without incentives. Also, they probably add in accessories, a huge dealer doc fee, or other hidden fees. Still may be worth contacting the dealer, but be sure to get a full price breakdown on your OTD cost before taking up much of your time.

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Have you talked to them yet? There's no way a '19 GT would be marked down to $28,029 before offers. Many dealers list their prices after all available incentives, even if they can't all be combined.

    Arizona Roll Call

    Stopped by today but had to leave kinda early. Didn't see any Stingers there, but saw a white GT pulling into Starbucks across the street. I plan to be back out next month.

    Arizona Roll Call

    ^^^ Thanks, that's great to hear. Nice collection of cars - the NSX is one of my all time favorites. I'm going to try to catch Cars & Coffee at La Encantada one of these times, so maybe I'll see you there.

    Arizona Roll Call

    I currently have an Optima SX with cooled seats and ceramic tint, but even at full blast the AC takes about 5 minutes to cool down to 70 degrees on auto. Some cars have better compressors than others. The panoramic glass covering the entire roof of the Optima probably doesn't help either.

    Arizona Roll Call

    Arizona people - now that we've had some days well over 100 degrees, how well does the AC work for you after sitting out in the sun all day? Does it cool off faster, slower, or about the same as other cars you've owned? Once the cabin is cooled off, how loud do the fans run to maintain temp...

    Considering a Regal GS... talk me out of it

    Really don't like that the Regal GS doesn't offer paddle shifters. Seems absurd for the performance it offers.

    Does the Stinger's AWD system require any extra maintenance?

    Can anyone confirm that the transfer case for the AWD Stingers has lifetime, non-replaceable fluid as stated here?

    Return of the Stingers by Kia Motors UK

    Remote Start!

    Disappointed to hear the car turns off if any of the doors are opened. Does the brake pedal need to be held down while pushing the start button to start it? If I could at least reach in to push the button rather than having to sit down and press the pedal that would be nice. Otherwise, it would...

    Many 2018 GT2's in white now available with red interior

    As we know, the white 2019 GT2's will be available with red interior. Within the last couple of weeks, I've found several 2018 models available in this color combo despite not being a listed option on Kia's website. Great to see as I think this is one of the best color combos. Example 1, 2, 3

    Those in warm climates, how hot do your seats get in the sun?

    I'm in Arizona and a SWP GT2 would be my first choice if it came with red nappa. I'm wondering just how hot the black leather seats get from being in the sun. I can't recall just how much of a "true black" the Stinger seats are from my test drive - my '12 Optima's seats are more of a dark...

    Where do you see Stinger resale values in 2-3 years?

    I agree that the Genesis is a steal. Just sat in one but haven't had a chance to drive it yet. I was very impressed, especially as the 2015's get down nearer to $20k. I have a feeling the Stinger will hold its value a bit better since it's more on the performance than luxury side and it got such...

    My Stinger umbrella

    Can you tell me more about how you like it? Is setup as quick as it seems? Does it seem fairly durable? Is the battery replaceable?

    Where do you see Stinger resale values in 2-3 years?

    Figuring in negotiation off MSRP + $7000 dealer cash on lease buyouts last month, that put some at 20% off MSRP before TTL. I wonder if that's somewhat been factored into the used market. Are you seeing CPO used Stingers at that price? Losing the warranty on a car this new would surely have a...
