To be fair, you and GRM BWM owners are not your average BMW owners.

Don’t Kias have some crazy nut-ball 150k bumper to bumper warranty or something?  Or is that Hyundai?  Dad bought some sort of Korean car last year and I just could not believe how long the warranty coverage was.

I like them a lot. Also like the Genesis version which is the G70 I believe. Maybe even a tiny bit more than the Stinger.  Nice choice.  Hyundai/Kia have come a long way.

The Kia 10-year/100,000 mile warranty program* consists of:

  • 10-year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty.
  • 5-year/60,000 mile limited basic warranty.
  • 5-year/100,000 mile limited anti-perforation warranty.
  • 5-year/60,000 mile roadside assistance plan.

Looking at getting some all season tires for it to use this winter (actual winter tire prices are insane) so I don't die trying to drive in the snow on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires haha

Congrats, looks great! I've read a lot of good thing about these, and LOVE the hatch!

Are the dealers starting to be more flexible on these? Seems like they should as I would imagine the 2019's should be arriving soon. I had read about how people are "leasing" them to get an extra $7.5k off sticker and then ending the lease and securing financing, something like that?

I would be very interested in a GT1 if they were willing to put some more cash on the hood.

Saw one in person at the autoX I attended a little while back - cool car! Love the color - love the form factor. It looks like yours has lane departure assist and adaptive cruise? Learn to use those two effectively and when you're stuck in gross traffic - there is nothing better....

KIA is offering a 3k rebate on 2018s right now and 0% or .9% financing. I got mine for 47k (sticker was 52,9xx) It was really hard to for me to keep my excitement in check and poker face on during negotiating. My sales guy (Nick @ Feldman Kia in Novi) was great tho, total gearhead and enthusiast who has a minty clean Mustang.

I basically got my GT2 for GT1 money...
