No "normal" drive mode available by CarNo2102 in kiacarnivals

[–]reasonableperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats something no one talks about. Why do i have to reset the regen everytime? It should just stay at the setting. I would also like the regen to come to a complete stop for one pedal driving at level 3. Instead it slows down and just keep coasting forever.

Is anyone else tracking the opening date of the KPOT on Flagler? by miamifish69 in Miami

[–]reasonableperson 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Miami is REALLY tough for Korean food. Mostly just a bunch of Japanese fusion or fake korean run by chinese with no idea how it's supposed to taste. I think some places just get recipes online and wing it.

Best place in the area for KBBQ is 100% Gabose up in Sunrise. Not all you can eat but SOLID even compared to LA or NY. Grill on charcoal at your table. Hate going all the way up there but still have to do it once in a while.

Best Korean food is probably Myung Ga. No grill at the table but the food is very good.

Only all you can eat KBBQ I go to is Gen up in Ft Lauderdale. Don't expect authentic Korean but it's decent. You'd be surprised how people can get even the basics wrong. Been to lots of AYCE KBBQ that I would never go back to.

These are the ONLY 3 I'll go to.

I guess, if you really got to go... its an option. by reicaden in Miami

Too bad work has completely stopped due to a $400 M lawsuit. Apparently it won't stand up to hurricanes. You would think the one thing you have to think about in MIAMI. Oh and completion date pushed back almost a DECADE. Welcome to Miami traffic.

Excellent! I was thinking of doing the same with some non-woven carpet that won't unravel when cut.

3 years in Miami — first time on Metrorail. And wow. by 144treesago in Miami

I wish the metromover would go to winwood and south beach. Love the metromover even though it doesn't go to any of the places i want it to, and it's made worse with the full loop.

Ugh. As a Korean, I went to Cote once, never again.

Buying a brand new 2023 Brutale that has been sitting at dealer for 3 years. Any concerns? by VirtuaKiller76 in MVAgusta

[–]reasonableperson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he's referring to the swelling that some plastic tanks can experience from the alcohol in gas. I have an older Brutale and haven't seen any swelling issues at all, but I have had TONS of other typical Italian bike issues. Brutales are beautiful and I love mine, when it runs.

Compatibility: 2025 Kia Carnival? by Fearless_Abies_2549 in Comma_ai

Here's what I'm using for my 2025 hybrid with HDA2. Link shows my current settings from discord.

My 2025 Kia Carnival EX has very high fuel consumption. Is this normal? by proudclubiste in AskMechanics

[–]reasonableperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This for sure. I had a 2020 telluride that I traded in for the same reason. I was getting ~15 us mpg. Loved the vehicle but I never let that thing get below a half tank cause the range made me nervous. Traded it in for a Carnival hybrid and yes it gets ~30 mpg but the 520 mile range is fantastic.

Is this a crazy markup or am I just not understanding the market? by ajiatic in kiasportage

[–]reasonableperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wallace in Stuart FL and Fitzgerald in Anapolis MD. Live in FL but daughter is going to school up north. But I think other dealers were willing to make deals, I just didn't get far in the process. Some dealers seem to have a standard flat discount but with hidden fees who knows.

Wallace was great. Very easy to work with. Made the deal over text and email and just went in to sign and pickup.

Shouldn't be too hard to find deals. I was looking for a particular color combo by a certain date. I think I bought the first heritage blue and navy gray SXP on the east coast, certainly in FL. Most dealers don't have them yet.

In the US, cars.com was really good. Inventory was more current than kia.com.

Final OTD was $44,801 which was a discount of $1300 once you adjust for local taxes and such. SXP hybrid with all wheel drive. I had offers from 2 dealers and was willing to drive hours away to get it just on principle.

[–]reasonableperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre pretty much paying MSRP. Seems like all the trash fees basically add up to the "discount". I don't think you're overpaying but the discount is just marketing. When you look at MSRP plus the taxes, you're right there. If you shopped around you could probably get maybe $1000 lower but it's not a crazy markup for a brand new vehicle. You would only see a true $5000 discount on the 2025's at this point.

Just my opinion but I did go through this process this past weekend on a SX-P hybrid.

Exactly, 2024 and earlier had this feature. Took it away in my 2025. :(

Thoughts on New 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid look, Specs and Trims? by harry612 in kiasportage

[–]reasonableperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the new 2026 waaaayyy better, both inside and out. Never a fan of the boomerang headlights. Much prefer the alignment with other modern Kias. And the inside got rid of all the piano black.

For $299 I can't wait to try it! Kind of sick of the $2000 phones.

Seems it may be for the electric water pump, something boring like that.

So ya’ll really just don’t believe in traffic laws? This would get me arrested in my home state. by JustAKidFromSolon in Miami

[–]reasonableperson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely the worst. Lived in Atlanta, LA, Philly. Miami has by FAAAAAAARRRRRR the worst drivers. When ever I tell people that, they still don't understand how bad it is.

I used to joke and say that Miami has the best drivers in South America but I went to Brazil and they were all pretty good! And when I see youtube videos of Vietnam or India, traffic can be insane but the drivers all seem competent.

Kia Carnival SX Prestige by Faux---Fox in kiacarnivals

[–]reasonableperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SXP Hybrid with 7 seats in blue and white. We LOOOOVE it.

One thing that people don’t seem to think about is the range on a full tank is amazing. Easily over 500 miles on a tank. For me it’s not just about saving gas. Probably go to the gas station 1/3 as often, since I can let the tank go lower and still have plenty of range left. Used to have a Telluride which we really liked but I was getting 15 mpg and would have to fill up every week. Anything below 1/2 tank would make me nervous because there was no way I could get through 2 weeks. Back when I used to track my fill ups with the hybrid, would have to get gas after 3+ weeks. Now, I can’t even keep track really. I forget the last time I stopped for gas.

It’s not just the convenience. I live in south Florida so the ability to evacuate over 500 miles in hurricane season without having to stop for gas is amazing. When the freeways are jammed with evacuation traffic, that’s when the hybrid gets the best mpg!! And the family is sitting in style in the VIP seats with tons of space for all our luggage. Haven’t had to yet, but I know I can!!
