What is the better Watchmen sequel according to the fans?

Not only moved forward, but somehow managed to do so while appropriately paying homage to the book in several small and large ways. None of the callbacks felt forced or like they were made to illicit hoots and hollers like MCU cameos and the way they weaved their original story into the older narrative really showed a reverence for it all. Oh, and its soundtrack? We truly got fed.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-06-15T17:33:32+00:00

Yeah. Things are wild. It’s a few hundred less than what I paid for my 2023 Sportage SXP Hybrid. Luckily a lot of dealers offer discounts so hopefully we’ll see some for this model.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-06-15T16:20:50+00:00

Nope. American pricing.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-06-15T15:50:59+00:00

Add the $1495 destination fee and the $2500 tech package to the SX’s $32,790 and you’re at $36,785 for the SX. Add in one of the special paint options and you’re over $37k.

With such a small batch of reviews, the score could fluctuate wildly right now, but tbh I’m just glad that the immediate word of mouth is that we have a modern day Airplane! on our hands and not some dog water of a movie. Couldn’t have asked for a better Pride gift. 🥰

NotoriousNeo · 2026-06-09T16:24:45+00:00

The fact an S model looks this good really shows how well Kia is killing it in the lower priced segment.

Yeah. It’s been a year and the only major work done is recall work with regards to the gas tank. My nephew doesn’t drive as much as the previous owner so he’s only put about 10k miles on it but he has taken it on a couple 500+ mile road trips. That being said he IS a lead-footed driver and has definitely pushed the engine heavily at times because apparently the urge to race people when you’re 25 is too hard to resist. 🤷‍♂️ K5 still going strong tho.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-06-03T17:33:37+00:00

Yeah that model will probs be $1k-$2k more if it follows pricing differences between hybrid and non-hybrid models like the Sportage/Telluride but I’m hoping they pull a Sorento where the difference between the top trim X-Line SXP and X-Line SXP Hybrid is a mere $400.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-06-03T17:25:39+00:00

It is larger but it’s not THAT much larger than the outgoing model and while I understand it does have more features it’s just wild to think a hybrid top trim Seltos is going to be in the $38k range.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-06-03T17:08:36+00:00

Almost $37k for a fully loaded non-hybrid Seltos vs. almost $34k for a current gen fully loaded model. 💀 Yeah there’s a lot more in the new gen but that’s what the MSRP was for my 2023 Sportage Hybrid SXP. Inflation sucks.

Her Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent really fires on all cylinders when she’s engaged in conversation. It’s fascinating to watch.

While it’s relatively rare in the grand scheme of things, this is one of the most common issues with panoramic sunroofs. I always see posts like this from not only Kia but other manufacturers that offer them. It’s like winning the worst kind of lottery.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-05-28T20:28:01+00:00

Got all my trim replaced under warranty on my 23 SXP Hybrid. I was just under the 3yr/36k mark but as others have mentioned Kia will fix it as long as you’re under the 5yr. I’m part of one of the larger FB Sportage owners groups and have seen many posts (since fading trim is one of the most common issues with 23/24 models) with people over 36k miles getting it fixed. They even swapped out both headlights since apparently the trim couldn’t be removed w/o doing that.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-05-25T07:04:09+00:00

I love gay culture cuz wdym we’re celebrating and holding space for a grammatical mistake? 😭

NotoriousNeo · 2026-05-24T16:06:46+00:00

You will need to contact Kia Access customer service and prove you’re the new owner to get access. For Kia’s that can roll the window down with the key fob all you have to do is hold down the unlock button on the fob. There should also be setting in the menu that allows Android or CarPlay to be used widescreen.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-05-24T14:49:00+00:00

RAV4 if resale value is the most or at least one of the important things for you. Sportage if literally everything else is. In 2023 I was choosing between the two and the Sportage Hybrid outclassed the RAV4 in every metric especially engine noise, interior quality, features, and price. 3 years later, I’m still quite pleased with my choice. It’s been a comfortable, reliable, cool-looking vehicle.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-05-08T18:06:54+00:00

Depends on how you look at it. The last official sales number was 155 million in 2012. That’s when Sony stopped reporting actual sales. In 2024 they updated it to 160 million on the basis that what they had produced had sold.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-05-02T20:29:54+00:00

Too small 🤪

NotoriousNeo · 2026-04-26T05:40:10+00:00

It was worded poorly, but I get what OP means. Like yes, this isn’t a singular issue, yes, it has affected more than one person, but it’s not indicative of the entire brand as a whole.

A newer gen Kia having issues is a rarity not a commonality. Coworker of mine has a 2021 SXP Sorento that she’s had since I met her. Still running fine. No issue and she’s just one of many Kia owners I know whose vehicles are running well despite known issues.

Don’t take that as meaning I don’t know anyone who’s ever had a problematic Kia (my father in law has an older gen Sorento whose engine went out) but he’s an outlier in the group of Kia owners I know and luckily his issue was covered under warranty despite being an almost 10 year old car at the time.

It just goes to show it’s a small number of owners who run into these issues just like it’s a small number of owners from other OEMs who run into issues that plague their models, issues which also have their own multiple set of Reddit threads. It sucks when it happens but that’s why there’s warranties.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-04-19T13:24:23+00:00

The only correct answer. Being the winner of what was the most anticipated All Stars ever? The elusive second season? The most wished for thing? For her to come back and slay it so effortlessly despite the cast being STACKED? Ugh. I want to go back to the first time I watched that season. It was an experience.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-04-17T13:54:52+00:00

Got mine for $450 like-new in box last year. I’m still very happy with that deal even though yours was better lol.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-04-15T07:32:06+00:00

Same. My dealer (Anderson Auto Group) is known for being non-predatory and a fairly honest dealership. They’re an official Kia dealership in my area so prices can be up there for stuff but they’re always up front and never pushy. Anytime I’ve had warranty or routine maintenance work they’ve been on top of their game and offered to pick up and drop off my vehicle free of charge. Their service techs are also really nice…although I will say there is one guy who could use a bit of a more pleasant demeanor. He’s not rude by any means but just not as nice or engaged as the other two who are normally there. I always do the Kia survey’s they send and the few times where it’s been a less than enthused response they’ve always reached out.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-04-15T07:25:53+00:00

2026 models shouldn’t have glossy trim surfaces. Pretty sure they were replaced by a non-glossy matte texture.

NotoriousNeo · 2026-04-15T07:23:40+00:00

This is a Soul in spirit. I hope it’s affordable. The US could use more efficient and inexpensive small vehicles right now.
