A Couple of Annoying Things

[Kr33m0]

Quiet cabin, that's what Kia was thinking when they conceived the Stinger as a Gran Turismo. It's not a muscle car.

Understood! But there is the exhaust enhancement mode that should be able to help with that, no?

 

[Intelliburn]

Ehhh...I don't know. I guess it's all relative, since all cars have at least a little bit of muscle. But in the context of muscle cars, where we're seeing vehicles leaving the factory with 500-800 hp the "muscle" of the Stinger is kind of like comparing a physique model to a 2015 Phil Heath.

That’s why we mod.

360 camera is useful but definitely one of the worst I've used, I too find myself toggling back and forth to get the best view of curbs and still manage to hit one every now and then.

I feel the cameras them selves was made back in the 1980's. Quite bad image imo

Accidentally shut off my headlights a few times when trying to turn on high beams, the control turns to easily.

The 360 cameras in my two Optimas were excellent, and one of the things I miss the most in my Stinger.

Funny, never having any cameras before I think they are fine and very useful. I love the 360 camera. Again, maybe it because I never had them before.

Why would it be worse on their Halo car I wonder?

I have a 360 cam on my AMG and honestly, I don't like it. I might just be weird, but it actually makes me more confused! LOL...Or maybe I'm just old school and so accustomed to turning my head (which I still do with the 360 cam lol). My biggest pet peeve on this car is that I can't lock it while the car is running and walk away. I can do that on my AMG, my old infiniti, my old M3...irks the hell out of me

The 360 camera in the Stinger seems good to me, but I've also never had a car with it before. I also just, you know, turn my head and look.. I do find it helpful when backing into my small garage, though.

A major annoyance for me is the lack of turn signals on the HUD. I've had HUD in like.. 8 cars at this point, dating back to a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix. Every single one of them has turn signals on the HUD (in addition to a high beam indicator, low fuel, etc). It wouldn't bother me so much if the steering wheel didn't block the ones on the instrument panel perfectly.

Careful. That would be an intelligent request. Many will come back saying you are seated wrong (or don’t know the purpose of a HUD) and don’t know how to adjust your steering wheel. Then proceed to give you instructions on how to sit. Lol

It's like Steve Jobs telling me I was holding phone wrong all over again!

Really though, it's a bizarre omission. It seems like Kia was highly "inspired" by the mid-2010s BMW HUD layout, which also lacks turn signals, although for those cars there are some software hacks to add it.

It is an odd thing to leave out given how simple it is. It doesn't take up much space and it's actually very useful. I would hope they plan to add it at some point considering that as far as I know they haven't added it to any of the newer models so far.

One annoying thing is the back camera gets very dirty easilly.

As someone who came from a GTI where the camera is hidden away til you need it, this is an adjustment. It's too bad it doesn't have a washer or something. But pretty standard for any car that leaves the camera exposed at all times.

Some of the expectations for this car is over the top.....stop acting like we paid 100k+ for it....not many GT 4 door lookers for sub 50k offer nearly as much especially warranty....
That's my annoyance; the nitpicking
