Would you be happier in a KIA?

My ute has been "vaccinated" against being flog by Stinger. I installed a "performance pack" last week.:D

Doesn’t matter if Stinger or Barra turbo, I built my immunity.

How's it going KT11H?
Took it back to the workshop today to have it "retuned" and stopped the vibration from the exhaust touching the gearbox. Now it is less noisy and much smoother, excellent services from the workshop, even they were very busy, still made time to fix the niggles.

I gotta vaccinate my self. I am still a bit depressed. Maybe I had the A/C on or shifted too early.
I wasn't overtaken however I couldn't see his head lights all the way.

Not interested in the Kia, if you have a VF11 then you have the last of the bunch, Stinger is the new generation of course it's going to be "Better" than the SS they wouldn't build one that wasn't, Commodore is gone, every car made from now on is going to get better, does it matter to me? CGAF to be honest, I love my Redline and its a keeper.

So true, VF is a likable dinosaur but still a dinosaur

If they follow the pattern of other Hyundai stuff in the last 5 (up to 10?) years, they’ll be more reliable than Commodores. Hyundkia is kinda the new Toyota ... Toyota even made a couple of interesting cars, once, in the mid 80’s.

maybe , but Hyundai is or was , known to fabricate their reliability reports , for a first attempt at performance car the Stinger is a good effort from a company that usually makes sponge cake 4x4's and cars .
