I always wait a few weeks with a brand new car before taking it back to the dealer. That way a few things pop up and one visit takes care of them. If you go back every time something pops up, you go nuts. In this case, the creak was driving me nuts!

Hi All. My hatch was creaking and it didn't settle down (break in) after a week. So I opened the hatch and there are two rubber feet on the underside of the hatch that have threaded adjustments. I turned each foot counterclockwise one full turn, and VOILA! No more hatch creaking. :-)

I've never needed to go coil over before. Eibachs are what I've had in every car since my 1997 VW GTI VR6. I've found stock shocks just right in my cars when combined with the Eibachs. Mind, that VW was followed by a Ford Contour SVT, A Saab Viggen, and Saab 9-5 AERO's until now. All those...

What I'm saying is that the rear suspension is soft and out of phase with the front. That means if you go through a dip at high speed the front and the rear compress equally, then the front comes up and stabilizes (good) but the rear comes up more and comes down before stabilizing. So the...

I'll take a well tuned suspension over an active suspension. I'm going to learn more about the coil over kit mentioned because my shocks are too soft. I'm going to make sure they are operating properly because they are so soft I'm thinking they must be defective. Changing springs won't...

The body size can be misleading on the power a shock has to control the suspension. Shocks are 'puny' relative to struts because they don't have to bear any location loads. These could be monotubes with the valve solenoids controlling rod displacement into the expansion reservoir. If that's...

Great feedback all. I wonder if the suspension stiffens up with lateral loads. Hence the roll, pitch, squat and yaw are all well controlled. I don't mind soft if those things are working. But the back is softer than the front in my car. That is my biggest problem. Now to find a corner with...

Thanks for that. You say sport is the stiffest. The rear end is downright soft no matter the setting. I think my suspension may have something wrong with it. I'm going to take it to the dealer after living with it for a bit. How about others... Are you happy with the suspension in sport...

Hi All. does anyone know how the adaptive suspension works? Is it variable damping or modulated on/off (super stiff/super soft) or multiple position valving??? Im disappointed in the suspension in general. Here's my lowdown: Pitch and Squat control are fantastic. Roll control is fantastic...

Hi All. I spent a day with the car on paved class b roads here in Southern Ontario. The car is perfect enough but there are areas for improvement. The rear end is too soft. I may get Eibachs all around as the springs are softer than I would like. I used to be with Arvin Ride Control (Shock...

Permanent.

BTW. I swapped cars with a dealership owner. He got the California Wine and I got the Pearl White. Re the red... What was I thinking? White is the best colour (or absence of colour) for the car.

Now look whachoove done! Just when I thought the Stinger was perfect, I prefer the Alfa staggered tips. I had a 164S back in 92. Great car. Great sounds. Stinger is waaaay better!

I spent Friday receiving the car and driving around downtown. The stock exhaust sound is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!. They nailed it. It has the same tone and resonance pattern as you would hear from a stock early 2000's Ferrari 360. This is real 'out-of-the-pipes' sound as I could hear is echoing off...

Mine has a plate bracket and a plate on it. Unfortunately the plate looks even worse.

Oh yeah! Well I was the first buyer according to Rocky at QEW427. I got a white one too and it's the nicest car on the road regardless of price. And the sounds it makes... WOW! Thank you Albert Biermann! BTW a guy in West Van got his a new days ago. ????

I have a business and we (the company) don't discount anything. Not one red cent. I like to tell customers we have firm price and a fair price. I paid full pop for the Stinger because it's a fair price. I'm happy to give Kia the money so it'll come up with an even faster Stinger in a few years...

Hi all. Price for GT Ltd was 49995. Got extended warranty to 200000Km for 7 years at $3500. Zxwron or some such paint treatment for 899.

My car came in today. I ordered a red one but the California Red should be called California Wine. Huge disappointment as I ordered it expecting a bright red like the photos all over the web. Fortunately my sales guy, Rocky at QEW/427 Kia, already had a plan B for me which was he swapped it...

Stock is perfect. Thanks for the clip. I might spend the money of bright red paint instead. That California Red paint isn't sporty enough for me. But it's all I can get.
