No US-market RWD Stingers have heated steering wheels at present. It's standard on all AWD Stingers, not available on RWD. Yep, I was just as disappointed by this as I'm sure you are. There is a guy on one of the Facebook groups who is trying to add one to his RWD car. He says the wiring is...

Took them 3 months, but they finally figured it out. Of course, I went to the MVA on Friday to get it titled and registered in my name, and they had forgotten to include the lien application. [facepalm]

There is a Maryland Kia Stingers Facebook group. There is some noise about interest in a meet on there, but not a lot of organization going on. I am super busy at work (work at a school and classes start next week) but once that dies down I may be able to organize.

Which of the OEM part numbers is for the 3.3T?

Cool, makes it easier to say to them, "STFU, you don't know what you're talking about." ;)

I mean, in this case they clearly do. :p I'll talk to my local dealer and the CU. Also wondering if I maybe just got the wrong guy at the CU call center. Can you tell me how many customers you've worked with that have done this? Might be helpful to rub in the CU's face if they continue to...

No, they were definitely trying to do a refinance. The issue as the CU loan rep said it was that it's a totally different process between refinancing a loan (where you own the car and hold the title but another bank has a lien on the title, and all they have to do is change the lienholder) and...

Just got off two phone calls, one with KMF and one with my local credit union. I'm trying to do a lease-to-loan conversion, and the CU said in June that in order for the loan application to be completed, they need the title. I realized this week that KMF might actually have received the title...

I have the OEM 19s. I want 18s for winter tires.

The new FastTrack is out, and with it a response to my request to class the Stinger. GT is FS, 2.0T is GS. A little surprised on the 2.0T (my guess is it has to do with power-to-weight), but I was expecting the GT would be in FS.

Yes, but if you don't push the shifter all the way forward or back and then let go, or if you let it spring back a bit before letting go, it doesn't skip to the next detent. This does seem like a design flaw -- it seems like you're supposed to be able to let it go and have it properly go into...

We figured it out. When you let go of the shifter in a certain way when all the way back or all the way forward, when it springs back, it overshoots the detent it's supposed to go into and flips to the next detent. I was able to reproduce the issue both shifting to drive and shifting to...

Preferably within a day's driving distance of ZIP code 21117 (Owings Mills, MD). Let me know whatcha got!

Just a quick update. It's been getting worse. I went to make a U-turn to get a parallel parking spot the other day, had to back up a bit to clear the curb, and then was sitting in the middle of the road for 30 seconds while I tried to get it into drive. Finally I just held it in the bottom...

Yeah, I just looked on Kia's site and the adaptive dampers are only on GT1 and GT2. BTW, are you in Annapolis, MD? Your profile is showing as Annapolis, AL. I could have sworn I set my profile to MD when I signed up, but it was AL when I checked, so I think there might be a bug in the forum...

Yeah, you wouldn't have that experience on AWD. AWD is going to tend much more towards understeer than oversteer; with RWD, you can make the tail come out with more throttle to counter the natural tendency of a heavy car to understeer, but you can't do that as easily with AWD. I actually...

I actually wanted the blue on the SS, but the dealers with blue didn't want to cut a deal and/or wanted to play games. The dealer I got mine from was willing to deal but didn't have the blue, so I settled for my second choice color. Didn't have to settle on the Stinger. I love the Micro Blue...

Where did I say I expected "porsche performance handling"? I don't. I realize that this is not a Porsche. I mentioned Porsche in the context of the fact that your definition of "GT" applies more to a Porsche 928 than a Kia Stinger, and that any manufacturer of a true "GT" car would not put a...

I couldn't find this anywhere, so for anyone who has a problem and needs to call Kia, this is the direct phone number for Kia Premium Support (covers the Stinger and K900): 855-454-2847 I got it from them after I was transferred to them from the regular Kia Customer Support number.

You posted the definition of a GT car. I pointed out that by your very own definition, the Stinger has a flaw in its GT credentials. As for pricing, my Stinger GT2 had an MSRP of $50k. My Chevy SS that I had before this (also with over 350 HP, RWD, adjustable suspension, heated and cooled...
