Lol. What’s the point of having a high performance GT if you don’t enjoy it!16.3 MPG...way to drive it!
I like them so far and they work well. Easily added a few more inches to grab the paddles which helps a lot while trying to shift on a turn. Good build quality and they feel very solid. Worth every penny.
Howdy. Fun(ny) intro story. Jag for a Stinger. My buying experience took about that long, too.
As good as a mile. For the car. Not for your system. That one'll cost you a year off your life.
When I bought my car, I got to KIA right when the sales people did on Saturday, told them I had a long drive to Idaho to pick up a Stinger and said they had an hour to beat the deal I got. So while I test drove, they worked the numbers, and I was out the door about 90 minutes after I got there.
Found out my brakes (and reflexes) work really well...as does my horn. I was shaking for about 10 minutes.
This leads into what I did this morning: I looked my car over, after last night's "sprinkle". Either my car was dusty prior to getting pelted, or the rain was dirty, or both. My car was filthy. There was no way that the two bucket, hot soft water method was going to work on that. So, either the hose with a nozzle, or the nearby hand car wash pressure wand. I opted for the latter. Ten minutes later I was back in my driveway still dripping. The dirt was gone, so now I could wash everything down with hot, soft water. Six terry cloth towels and one microfiber drying towel later, she looks gorgeous.
"I'm waaashing in the rain. I'm waaashing in the rain. What a glorious feeling I'm haaappy again."
I'm going to try this sometime, I just know it.

What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?
Agreed, if you're always tapping the end of the paddles, that will provide quite a bit more leverage and torque on the stock paddles, that twisting over time could affect the paddle.
. Personally, I either use the paddles if I'm still at 10 and 2 when my hands can still reach, or if I'm going around a tight turn, I either hold my speed or leave it in auto . The only time this'd be a concern is if you're Auto-Xing or starting from a stop. If you're starting from a stop, you're going to be in D anyway because of the &^*!)(*@ limitation on holding manual shifting!
But in Sport mode, all you have to do is pull the paddle and presto you're in "1" again. So do that as the light is changing and you're back to manual shifting. Or do I still not understand how the GT2 Sport mode paddle shifting works? (with the GT1 in manual gate, nothing ever moves the trans out of manual)If you're starting from a stop, you're going to be in D anyway because of the &^*!)(*@ limitation on holding manual shifting!
