    Kia Is Practically Giving Away Stingers

    Dealer in the town where my daughter plays soccer was giving a stinger away. Free to enter one per day. So literally they gave one away to me last week. Now I have a 19 GT1 and an 18 GT2. So yes at least in my case one of them was given away

    ATTENTION : Brake rotors and warranty

    I would make Kia pay why let them off the hook. But yeah if I am paying it won't be through Kia service. Case in point I had an 06 G35 coupe that got 3 sets of rotors/1 time with pads over 24K miles. that car had the same common issue with warping. Once it was on my dime warped again at 28K...

    ATTENTION : Brake rotors and warranty

    I called before bringing my car in to make sure it would be free. Was happy to hear that the service manager said that turning the rotors would be a waste of time. They did claim not to have heard of this issue and they are the biggest Stinger dealer in this area. I noticed they had a lot of...

    ATTENTION : Brake rotors and warranty

    The dealer where I go has not heard of this issue. They didn't have rotors and brakes in stock which is why I had to wait a week for my appointment. The service manager wanted to have the brakes ready before he looked at it because based on my description of the issue he felt it was going to...

    Chasing a Stinger GT

    Nice to see you have deadly too narrow shitty bumpy roads in DC just like we have in Boston :)

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    But what if you have a teeny weeny tiny little garage like me. I can't back in because I wouldn't be able to see the tennis ball and stop the moment it touches the glass. Also can only get out in the middle. My wife's escape gets backed in because it's about 6" shorter so the beep beep beep...

    ATTENTION : Brake rotors and warranty

    I have an appointment for next Friday. The service manager I talked to said that turning the rotors is a waste of time the issue will come right back. Also thought it might be because of the pads so he will replace the pads and rotors. But I think I have the best (of the worst) brakes. I'm...

    Who's experienced noise or vibrations on the Brembo brakes?

    Let's use a little logic here. If you have pads/rotors combo that makes the rotors warp what do you think happens if you make the rotors thinner? I'm going with more warped. I had this experience with an 06 Infiniti turning the rotors got rid of the problem for a very short time and each time...

    What is this?

    I guess it's supposed to be there. Funny I have never seen it before, but looks like some other cars have it too. I don't know this is really strange to me. I have had many cars and none of them had these stickers. I have seen plenty of chips on the hood and front end but never any chips...

    What is this?

    Was the dealer supposed to take them off? I don't see the purpose. The one on the door doesn't even line up with the one on the wheel well trim

    Kia Is Practically Giving Away Stingers

    I got 9K off in MA on a 19 GT1. Could have gotten 11K on a 2018 if I were willing to drive 5 hours (one way) to NY. The deal in MA was 4K from Kia and 5K from the dealer

    What is this?

    On the side of my car are three clear stickers. Looks like some kind of protective stuff but why there? It's really weird. I was thinking of trying to peel them off. Anyone else have these on their cars? Will I be able to get it off easily with a hair dryer?

    ATTENTION : Brake rotors and warranty

    I think I'll call around before bringing my car in to see what the dealer proposes to do because turning the rotors and doing nothing else will just make it worse. It will just get rid of the problem for a short while. If you think about it same pads/rotors started out not warped ended up...

    Kia Stinger sales numbers are lower this year compared to last year

    Quirk Kia in NH has 19 of them. Other dealers in the area have lesser amounts. No surprise the two dealers I mentioned were offering the best price. I've found that to be the case go to the dealers who have lots of stock those are the ones interested in moving vehicles

    Kia Stinger sales numbers are lower this year compared to last year

    The dealer I bought from Dan O'Brien Kia Norwood, MA has 22 in stock. I wonder how they count the sales. Are they counting them sold to the dealer or sold to a customer?

    Kia Stinger sales numbers are lower this year compared to last year

    The dealer I bought from is giving away a stinger. You can put in an entry every day. I've been stopping by most days. Noticed that they had probably 15-20 stingers and I commented to the sales manager about how many stingers they had and he said they were selling lots of them. Also when I...

    Volkswagen Arteon R Coming To Fight Kia Stinger?

    I had a GTI. It was a POS. It used 3 quarts of oil between 10K oil changes, had a slight leak of coolant that dealer was never able to find, but had me putting in anti freeze once a year, it had the loudest creak I have ever heard from a sunroof 9 trips to the dealer to fix and was developing...

    ATTENTION : Brake rotors and warranty

    I doubt it. I had an 06 infiniti which did the same thing. They were better giving out free brakes till 24K, but after 24K when I hit 28K and they warped again I was out of luck. I had an independent garage do the brakes and they used a different pad/rotor setup and I never had an issue after...
