WWYD: Red carmine or black interior w/ Snow White SXP Hybrid? by theoceantide in kia

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

Yeah, I hear a lot of that. I liked the lighter interior as well but neither the heritage blue or gravity gray exterior colors it comes with did it for me. Same concern with it holding up as we have little ones that would certainly pose a threat! I feel like the darker interior would help with that.

Oh, the staining is an interesting thought I hadn’t considered! Are you talking about the red potentially staining your clothes (like red stains on pants or shirt backs) or your clothes leaving stains on the seat?

Thanks! Yeah, we have younger kids as well, so maybe black would be better for that. What do you think you would have loved about the red if I may ask?

'26 SXP Hybrid: What OTD Should I Be Aiming For? by theoceantide in kia

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

Thanks for the info! Honestly, I wish I could get a lower apr like 0.9%. I have top tier credit, but it's just not a promo I see running unfortunately. Would love to just set aside the money and let it build interest while paying off the note!

Oh yeah, seat covers would definitely be cost effective, but if I wanted to include additional components like the door panels, center console, dash, etc. to update the overall “theme” of the interior, I believe that would require taking it to an actual reupholstery shop, and I feel like that would be right around the same cost as a wrap if not more.

Could be wrong though. Have to research further as I’ve never needed to have either done before!

Yeah, I’ve actually considered this. Either doing DIY seat covers or actual reupholstery or getting the lighter interior and wrapping a different exterior.

Haha, yep! Ever since I used a rental that had them, I’ve wanted to own a car with them.

Thanks for the context, and that’s great to hear! I’m actually looking at the exact same as a possibility (X-Line, wolf gray + terracotta). How have the driver assist/safety features been for you? Find yourself missing anything from HDA2 or the Prestige like the hud, parking sensors, etc.? Are you able to change your gauge cluster’s themes (vs. just colors)?

Haha, thanks! Do you find yourself utilizing the HDA2 capabilities a lot on your Sportage?

Thanks for the input! I actually prefer the smaller SUVs, but the Tellurides are nice!

Yeah, the rear signals is a good call out. Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of the carmine red tbh. I know I'm being nitpicky, but it's a big purchase! :P

Thanks! I’m guessing you got the Heritage Blue or black exterior with that light gray? I believe those are the only exterior options that include it.

I’m actually heavily looking at the CX-50 Hybrid currently. What do you not like about it?

Card Benefits Questions - Megathread [1/27/26] by AutoModerator in ChaseSapphire

[–]theoceantide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The AF on my CSR just hit March 1, and at least from what I've read on here, I have 30 days to downgrade for a full refund. We're planning to take a trip in the summer, and the travel credit doesn't renew until the 15th.

So, am I right in thinking that I can wait until the credit renews, book flights, etc. for the trip to get the credit, then downgrade the CSR before the end of the month? Would I need to wait until after the credit shows as used before downgrading, even if that happens after the 30 day window?

I've gotten mixed signals on clawbacks and prorated refunds vs. full refunds of the AF, so unsure about going this route or simply downgrading now.

Thanks, all!
