New to group, 2020 GT Line

[DMax28]

Just got 2020 GT Line, white with red interior, sun and sound. Love it! Coming from 17 Civic Si (1.5, upgraded clutch, intake, exhaust and k-tuner). The stinger seems ever bit as fast... and a lot quieter (which my wife greatly appreciates). Looks like a great forum!

Congratulations D Max28, I also traded in a 2015 civic si on my stinger.
I drive a 2019 Stinger 3.3l RWD SWP RED Interior. Only mods so far AEM intakes and upgraded Eibach F/R sway bars. What state are you in and enjoy your ride. Stevogt1

In SC. Not much need for AWD here (1/2 of snow shuts down everything anyway). I have same car as you except for the extra 100 hp you have, LOL. Probably a bit more w/ that intake. I've had an AEM CAI on an accord before, and they really do make a difference.

I do have one question about mirrors tilting in reverse. I read that it's standard, but I can't seem to make it work. Is it actually standard even on GT Line?

My UK spec GT Line has tilting mirrors.

Make sure your mirrors select switch is set to one side or the other or it won't work.

By the way, welcome!

Thanks, will try that again. There are so many features that it's hard to tell as a new owner what you've actually have (and don't).

Welcome, DMax28! Fellow GT-Line/Sun & Sound package/red interior owner here.

I don't think our cars have auto tilt in reverse. Unfortunately KIA really limited the features available on the 2.0T models in the US. One fairly easy upgrade is to replace the plain rearview mirror with the one found in the GT1 and GT2. It has Homelink, compass, and auto-dimming, and is a direct plug-and-play. There are threads on this forum that should tell you which model # to look for.

I'm still impressed with the power folding side mirrors. Coming from a long line of Honda/Acura vehicles, they are usually reserved for Touring and Advance models.

Happy motoring.
