Hello.

Recently I made my first long trip in the car, so here is a little list in things I noticed.

  • It feels very stable at 110 mph, I was comfortable cruising at that speed.
  • The lumbar support could be improved to my taste, but I guess it's the downside of a sporty car.
  • I don't know how the tire pressure works, the warning was on, despite the fact the screen showed me the correct PSI, and I also stopped in the gas station to have the pressure manually checked.

In your experience, do you agree or disagree with the points?

Seats have lumbar support adjustment controls, no?

They have, but it was not enough, maybe I raised the bar too high since I was used to minivan seats, and it was an 11 an half hours trip, I only stopped for fuel 2 times, and for a "torta de tamal".

I agree with the stability at high cruising speed. My Stinger has also been very stable at highway speed limit, just like you. :geek:

The lumbar support is perfect for me. This is highly dependent on your body type and preference I guess. The seat cushion is comfortable overall for me.

The tire pressure fluctuates in the 3-4 psi range for me, but that's due to cold/hot air inside. Never got the warning light.

By the way, I love your signature. :D
 
Haven't tried the high speed. I've not found that playing with lumber adjustments helps or hinders my back. But 2,600 miles was a relative breeze in my GT2. I'm still adjusting the seat every once in a while, trying to find the best comfort combined with using the dead pedal.

It sounds to me like you have TPMS system issues. If the tires are inflated properly, according to the sticker inside the door, and you still get warnings, I'd take it to the dealership for repair.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
i find the corrective steering disconcerting and the michelins that come on the 19's get squirrely and greasy when they get hot. other than that, if it fits my greek butt, i am good.
 
I found more levels of lumbar adjustment on the stinger than some other cars
