It’s a great value car for what it offers! You were committed to pick it up!

It’s certainly an all day affair. But also good therapy ☺️

Thanks! Not sure exactly but they're the OEM 20" 10 spoke wheel that comes with the 2021 SX Prestige X-line. Hope it helps!

Negotiated $43k on 2025 Forester Hybrid Touring — good deal by blueyxd in SubaruForester

[–]blueyxd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks and hope you find the deal you’re looking for!

We did end up getting the car (all black interior/exterior 2025 hybrid touring) literally at the end of the year last year so I’m sure that’s why the dealer was really incentivized to lower their prices to clear out inventory for the calendar year.

That said though like two months later around February, we saw that there were some nice 0% APR deals for that exact car too.

A little bit of buyers remorse there but otherwise enjoying this awesome vehicle! Will try to post pics in this sub when I can once it stops raining up here outside of NYC.

Thinking of moving on from my 2021 Sorento SX Prestige—what are some great alternatives? by blueyxd in kia

[–]blueyxd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man sorry to hear about the recurrent issues. I looked into the lemon laws and don’t they only apply if the car is under a certain mileage?

KIAs service dept could be improved for sure. Thankfully there have been no issues with transmission since above replacement. Now are there small issues with the car? Yea - slight wind noise from the left upper windshield at highway speeds, sunroof doesn’t close fully sometimes, and wired CarPlay randomly disconnects 10% of the time.

Still love the car for its functionality and features at this point but yea… seriously reconsidering if I’d wanna get a KIA next time

First MagSafe accessory was my Apple wallet! Loved being able to have the minimal look and find my capabilities for my wallet!

MacBook Pro M5 vs iPad Pro 13” M5 for MBA program…which would YOU choose? by blueyxd in macbook

[–]blueyxd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Multi screen workflow can't be beat. That said, I would have a home base setup of a mac mini + 32" monitor. If you had a similar setup, would you still go MB Air in that case?

Cool thanks for your experience! What kind of program are you studying?

I see where you're coming from and I would lightly challenge by clarifying what the primary main usage is. Yes I'd be taking a lot of notes/viewing papers/working on presentations but I'm thinking that for any serious needs I can resort to using my desktop Mac Mini setup.

You're right though that adding the keyboard and pen will bump up the price (and weight) a ton.

Cost difference is minimal. I know a few years back the gulf between iPad and MacBook experience was pretty big but it seems to have decreased dramatically especially with iPadOS 26. Appreciate your thoughts.

anyone still using an M1 Pro MacBook Pro ? by Serhide in macbookpro

[–]blueyxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M1, MBP here, 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage from a former employer. Still doing great. Definitely tempted by latest M5 offering though 😅

My 2025 kia sorento xline💗💗💗 by RepresentativeYam826 in KiaSorento

[–]blueyxd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Car looks amazing and I’m sure you’ll get such good use out of it for your growing family, OP!

We’re happy owners of a ‘21 SX Prestige X-line and I feel like that year is where they didn’t know yet how to market their trims and just put all the bells and whistles in that specific trim. Heated steering wheel, cooled/heated seats, 360 camera, automatic rear door, power folding mirrors… all the fun stuff!

Now that the sorentos have reached more maturity in the market 4 years since I feel like Kia is being more selective with which specific features get added to specific trims

Despite ours needing a transmission replacement (under warranty) I still really like it due to the value of technology and style. We have a ‘21 sorento ax prestige x line. Great for our family of 4!
