Idle Stop and Go Canada

[Clearly Canadian]

Wondering if Idle Stop and Go is included in GTs destined to Canada? Hope not...

It's a standard feature in almost any car now ... as it's meant to reduce the C02, so doubt they will remove it for Canada.

Also the button is shown on the Canadian 360 interior view.

It is.

Welcome aboard, @Clearly Canadian! Thank you for signing up! Which Stinger model are you most interested in?

Hello,

I recently ordered a GT Limited, dark grey exterior, red interior. Can't wait.

Hello,

Awesome! I love that dark grey. It's probably my favorite color. When is it due in?

I haven't received a VIN or date yet. By the way, this is how the deal went down:

Ordered a dark grey exterior, red interior GT Limited (GT2)

$48,000 Vehicle
$ 1,560 Destination Fee
$ 326 Other fees
$ 1,500 Winter prep package (block heater, battery blanket, all weather mats, locking wheel nuts, lifetime windshield chip repair)
$ 1,155 3M bra, 5-window tint, rebadging (zero markup)
$ 2,500 Kia stinger winter wheel/tire package (zero markup)
$ 0 No dealer decal
$ 2,752 Tax
==========================
OTD $57,787 and a $750 maintenance credit (see below)

Financed at 3.49%.

Another dealer tried to woo me with an additional $2,000 off for everything above but I had already signed and felt honour-bound to stick with my commitment. But through the chasing back and forth I ended up getting a $750 maintenance credit to help me feel better. But I COULD have gotten it for just under 56k.

I was puzzled that they would fight so hard for a sale when they are clearly losing money on it.

Where you from? I have the exact same car ordered. Due to arrive in early February. I can’t wait!

Well, it sounds like you've got a bit of a wait ahead of you. But, at least you can get your Stinger fix here in the community while you wait. And you know what they say - good things come to those who wait...

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it.

I have found the stop and go feature frustrating. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I've checked all of the requirements for it to work and still on some trips it will work the first time I stop, not the second or third but work again the fourth. The Kia dealer is going to check it out when it goes in for it's first oil change.

I know my stop ang go in other vehicles wouldn’t work at certain temps.. if it’s cold out it doesn’t work..

 

[westcoastGT]

I had this on other cars and given the amount of time spent at idle during urban driving I'm good with it , just takes some time to get used to
