Bought my AWD GT for 34k brand new...that’s not far from that 28k used car you referenced. Negotiated it over the phone, was in and out of the dealership in less than 90 minutes (had to wait for them to finish detailing it). There are always massive incentives on them and Kia dealers are willing to negotiate (unless…

I once got in my car and the coins in the console looked all messed up like somebody had dug through them. Then I noticed a few other oddities where items were moved from where I left them. Thought someone was messing with me, or looking for something valuable to steal. Then I spotted a small turd in the coins. It was…

It can just as easily be for a truck that’s built to have a really low ride height. Removing the floor creates additional room for the rear axle to tuck up into the fender area.
The size of the tires in the pic (relatively narrow) make it not look like it’s built for drag racing. 

It’s small enough that I’d imagine a magnetic mount for the roof would be ideal. That way it’s not killing MPG while driving, isn’t at risk of being stolen/vandalized, and is still ready to go whenever it’s needed. 

Could an F1 car do a faster lap on a track the exact same shape/size with no banked corners? Or any other race car? I’m not sure they could. It’s a small enough track that it would be hard to generate enough downforce. 

The rebate doesn’t effect the ability to negotiate the price since it’s a manufacturer’s rebate (which the dealer is refunded for). So negotiating 2k-4k off MSRP, and the tacking on the rebate (6k-8k almost always right on Kia’s site) is not out of the question. Regardless, it’s significantly less than MSRP, and we’re…

I’m not sure how your math works but if I use the math I was taught and start at 55k before rebates, then subtract 7k for the rebate, then negotiate lower from there, I don’t arrive at 50k. You’re also starting with the most expensive special edition and acting like that’s the only available price. My AWD GT was $34k…

My wife hauls around a 3 and 5 year old in ours daily. When we got it our youngest was still rear facing which requires more rear seat room. The seat still fit but not with much room to spare. Wouldn’t work if you are tall and need a rear facing seat on the driver’s side, can work if it’s on the passenger side. Only…

A rattling hatch that was fixed within 6 months of release but people still harp on it like it’s still an issue. 

It’s actually not, because nobody is paying anywhere near MSRP for them. Typical rebate is around $7k, plus you can negotiate from there. 

The fenders and bedsides are different stampings than a regular F-150 (note the smooth area around the wheel openings vs the kinked area on the standard F-150). I actually prefer the smooth look. 

An add-on battery pack that would either fill the frunk (to offset the weight on the rear from payload or a trailer), or a flat one that would lay in the bed and could still have some payload on top (not thousands of pounds, but some sort of payload) would work decently well. Possibly make it a rental or lease type…

Same here, my bookmark is to “Latest” so it’s chronological. I was blown away when I accidently went to the homepage with an errant click and saw the mess that was there. For a second I thought that was the “updated” Latest page but fortunately that was not the case. 

The title says I get to watch him pass 17 people, yet the video in the article shows no passes. Where is the full video?

Yeah, there are some oddities with them. They’re slowing figuring it all out in the tunes though. They’ve now got control of boost so it doesn’t drop for shifts and the “brake snip” takes away the lack of boost at launch problem (which also is the case with the RWD cars but they don’t benefit from the brake snip…

Agreed, it kills the nice flowing design of the rear end. If they wanted to add anything special, they should have added a small lip extension to what’s there in stock form similar to all of the aftermarket options.

Agreed, though RWD is only quicker when stock. AWD is supreme as soon as you add power and can really take advantage of the extra traction available by AWD. 

Yes, and the Stinger has 1.4" more legroom than the larger of the two dimensions which is what determines whether a child seat will fit without forcing the driver’s seat forward or not.

Until you learn how to avoid making assumptions you have no proof to base them on (like whether the Tesla was camping in the lane prior to this video), and until you learn how wide angle lenses distort the distance between the camera and the objects around it (making them appear significantly farther away than they…

If one is large enough to fit child seats in the rear and be used as a family hauler and the other is not, there is certainly a large portion of the people who can afford these vehicles who would be forced to disqualify the 3 series for this very reason. If you’re a single dude then sure, both are close enough to…
