Given GDI using top tier gas is probably more important than octane. I use Shell 91 in my wife's stinger. 93 for the miata more power :)

Not to be an ass but I'd like to see it. There is no way you are getting a refund over brakes. Not in a million years

Any examples of rotor/pad combos that are good shudderless long term ?

Yes it only took 9 times at the dealer a couple of times they had the car several days. At one point they said there was nothing they could do so I had to call VW USA. Super annoying the car also used a quart of oil every 3K miles which is "normal". I was glad to part company with that...

Hmm you are right it is recommended I thought it was required. My wife has the same stinger 3.3 and doesn't ever hit the gas hard so I'm definitely going to start putting regular in that one.

Does anyone still live in CA? If yes WHY?

The brakes also squeak on the 19 before new rotors/pads and I've noticed it coming back again a few weeks after the rotors/pads

Yes both the rotors and pads were changed

I've noticed a noise when I stop from high speed like there is a rough surface on the pad or rotor. Like a rrrrrrrrr-rrrrr--rrrrr noise. Maybe it's what you guys are saying is grinding. It's not pulsing yet, but I'm pretty sure it's going to come back. Funny it's not all of them. The one...

I have a GT1 and a GT2. To tell you the truth I prefer the leather in the GT1. I prefer the normal shifter which means you can put it in manual mode and it stays in manual mode. The HUD seems cool at first but you can't see it when you have sunglasses on. I mean it disappears completely. So...

Yeah that was dumb of me because I didn't get the 3K cash back on my 2019 because of the Mini I traded in. It was because my wife has a Ford Escape. I forgot about that they took a copy of her reg. BTW have you guys see the list of cars. It's just a random list of cars. Why wouldn't you...

In fact I just took a look and at least in my zip the discounts from kia aren't as good as they were when I bought in March. The current offers are 2K competitive cash back which means you are trading in which means it's very hard to say what you are actually paying for the Stinger, 0%...

Think about it. Even if you factor in 3K competitive cash back 2,500 financing and there's some kind of military discount I think 500 from Kia that means the dealer is taking like 8K off MSRP which means they're losing money on a vehicle which is still a current year vehicle. If it were an 18...

I got new pads and rotors a couple of weeks ago so far so good

I did take them off. Hair dryer worked fine. The remaining glue was pretty resistant to alcohol so I went to the bug and tar remover which worked well. Now I'm noticing stickers everywhere. They are on the back bumper which looks good and in the door sills. I guess those are fine.

It's not a stock vs stock so what's the point? You could take any of those cars and make them much faster than a shitbox Golf. I had a GTI and it was the biggest piece of crap I have ever owned. I fcking hated that car!

Oh yeah I'm going to get an excise tax bill from my town too. The Stinger I bought in March was $850 so yeah more tax.

It was the dealership where I bought the red 19 GT1 in March. While we were waiting for the salesman my wife noticed the black one because it had red seats and the salesman said they were giving it away one entry per day for free. My daughter's soccer club field is a 5 minute walk away so...

2500 sales tax I already paid plus it will be income to me this tax year so based on my tax bracket last year I am estimating about 12k more.

The escape got the boot. My wife wants to keep it for the kids but more than a year before the first one can drive. Guess it's a good idea because I sure don't want a permit driver behind the wheel of my car
