crazyxa Member 84 Member For: 17y 10m 21d Posted 09/05/17 03:16 AM Share Posted 09/05/17 03:16 AM I drove a little Kia Cerato hatch rental the other day and f@ck me cars have come a long way. It was a 6 speed auto and everything worked well well and it drive great. Compared to the Hyundai excel I was a passenger in in the mid 1990's this thing was like an S Class.I will take a look at the Stinger when it's time to say goodbye to the G6ET.

I will definitely be watching the stinger closely and seeing what Hyundai bring to the party which is on the cars from them coming soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,036 Member For: 9y 9m 11d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 09/05/17 09:20 PM Share Posted 09/05/17 09:20 PM I agree they have come a long way. However still a work in progress. I've had a rental Rio and one of the Kia SUVs recently. Interiors looked good, but plastics were still poor (feels like everything in the door flexes as you close it). Sat nav/entertainment systems were mega glitchy and autos were horrible. In fairness though both had done about 50k as rentals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 16y 14d Gender: Male Posted 26/05/17 10:45 PM Share Posted 26/05/17 10:45 PM Mike, The Kia Stinger is up the top of my short list when I decide to upgrade. How long is the Kia warranty? SEVEN years?? How is Kia doing in the quality stakes? Check this out! http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2016/06/22/jd-power-quality-study/86240824/ Has everybody been happy with Ford Customer Care? Not this guy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ApiBQATb6c Those of us who bought the ZF auto instead of the manual probably side-stepped any issues relating to driveline shunt and rollover noise. I asked my Ford Service Manager how to extend the life of the bushes in the rear end of my FG. He advised me to keep the turbo off boost!! True!! I guess we've all long since swapped to Superpro or similar?? I am now driving my FIRST Ford (FG XR6T) because I was unhappy with my VY SS and the way that GMH looked after me. When customers vote with their feet and wallets, Car Co's either shrivel or lift their game to avoid falling below critical mass. For the Ford zealots, please note that the Kia also uses an oval badge. If the Kia badge is so offensive, maybe you can dig it out with a screwdriver and superglue a Ford badge in its place? Yes - this is a tongue in cheek windup. But seriously. What's on your shortlist? Keep the XR6T going just like the XU-1 zealots keep their Toranas going? It's a possibility. A Mustang is a bit small for a family car and two doors are a pain. BMW's cost too much. The Subaru STI looks OK but 221 kw's is a bit lame these days. If it's got forged pistons, it could be retuned BUT does it have forged pistons? And now we have the Kia and Hyundai V6 turbos offering us RWD, twin turbos, a 6 cyl engine not a 4. And both the Kia and Hyundai are copping good reviews in the quality stakes. PAH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
