Mine only has 20K miles (just over 32,000km) and it was pretty drum tight when I bought it. I just hate that I've spent so much time and care on the car (it shows on the exterior) but some things have really gone south what seems too early. To be specific, the worst of my rattle woes is the...

DD, 15MPG average, 5 mile commute to work. I was on the fence about trading it for something "better" as a DD as noted in a thread I made, but even with all the things that bug me about the car, I don't think I can imagine not having a RWD 6 speed at my disposal. I think once it's paid off and I...

My chime goes screwy sometimes too. It'll be all distorted and crappy sounding, other times, fine. I thought it might have something to do with the fact I have my center speaker disconnected, but it's sporadic so who knows.

I used to scoff at extended warranty but with all things considered and 19 payments left, maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea? Silly question, do us canadians have that option, and can I still get it at this point in ownership? Considering the one problem I have hasn't fully manifested yet, would...

It's not a matter of need but more so want. It's just the feel of torque down low compared to up top. I completely get it's due to engine design and I know it won't change without forced induction. I like to compare the Coyote to the old Honda Vtec, it hauls a whole lot of ass high up in the rev...

I never said the GT is hard to drive, in fact, it's quite easy to drive to the limit if you're not a novice. It absolutely lacks low end torque due to its displacement, cam timing and tuning. And today, luckily, someone was driving faster than I was (I was only going 10km/h over) when the...

Drove a 2018 very recently. It's much the same less the better exhaust that the 2015 should have gotten. My 15 with PP1 and intake is not too far off the mark of a 18/19 performance wise. I think maybe I figured it was just time for something different?

For the above comment, I would agree fully on low profile tires exacerbating rattles. I've driven on the 18's and the 17's and there seems to be fewer rattles. My MPSS are 275 wide and definitely much more rough riding than the stock 18's. Honestly, I'd be curious how some of the guys with the...

You know what, that is funny and true. Sure, the Stinger in it's purest form sits in a somewhere niche spot - 5 door liftback sedan. That aside, under the "Kia stigma" it should be more commonly compared to the Fusion Sport 2.7, Taurus SHO, Buick Regal GS, Dodge Charger R/T AWD. Kudos to the...

Regarding this, think of most average interiors in 2008, they were all pretty terrible across the board except a few exceptions and probably German cars. My wife's 2013 Santa Fe literally has broken panels (her friends like to catch their shoes on the lower plastic panels on the seats and break...

I would like to agree with this sentiment, I really would. I do like the look of the Audi S's. In fact a S3 is plenty big for my needs (I could get away with a 2 seater 99% of the year), but upon scouring the internet, using "rattle" and "Audi S*" I still find a good number of complaints. I'm...

I did, but those are much more money up here. The Stinger maxes out at 50K MSRP, S4 starts at 58,000 and S5 starts at 61,500. Throw on options and you can only go up. To me, the name plate and "perceived" quality improvements weren't worth the extra cost, not to mention I would only have 4 years...

I anticipate this, and hope that if the Kia holds up, it will stay long term as a "winter beater" after it's paid off if nothing else....run it into the ground as they say.

Kia is trying to break their name into the market the same way Toyota and Lexus did back in the 80's. Because of this, I hope what I get is a well built vehicle that I can be happy with. The nice thing is if it holds up, it makes more sense as a to/from work daily and have something fun on the...

I think the time has come to move on from the Mustang. I've been sitting on the fence about this a lot over the last couple weeks. There are a variety of reasons I want to move on; here are the cons and pros of the Mustang: Cons: -Build quality is poor, it's turning into a rattle trap like my...
