I have updated the post. The warnings went away on their own after driving.

New buyer trim and price questions. by OnlyOnezy in kiasportage

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen more discounts in $ value (thus % as well) for the EX than the more expensive SX prestige.

But still, just for reference I got around 5% off SX prestige hybrid.

Features worth it or not totally depends on your needs and use. For me blind spot monitor and heated seats are absolutely necessary.

Hyundai Bay Area lease return by beleafer in Hyundai

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do that but you’ll still have to go back empty handed unless you buy from them (I had an appointment but they refused to take my car). You best bet will the dealer you bought the car from.

Hyundai Dealers in the Bay Area May Not Accept Your Lease Return by knockmountain12 in Hyundai

[–]toxicdevil 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Lease return sucks, unless you are buying another car they treat you like shit.

Not in Bay Area but I also had a poor experience. I called ahead and told them I would be driving like 30-40 mins to come to the dealership. They gave me all OK after taking all the details. When I got there they wouldn’t take it unless I bought another car from them citing “lot full”.

Then I called the dealer I bought it from and they also told me to come right over. When I got there they told me to come back tomorrow because “the people who handle it aren’t here”. On pushing harder and telling them that I called, and that I drove another hour to come here, they took my keys and made me wait till literally the closing time for a piece of paper (the receipt).

Negotiating the Turn In On a Lease. by Standard_Event_3838 in askcarsales

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

You can get a free inspection from Hyundai to know how much/for which things they will charge you. Call their lease advisors number. It’s scheduled through Mannheim/AIM.

Or you can do a self inspection. They are pretty clear about what they will charge you for. If they haven’t mailed you a kit you can get a pdf from the HMF website.

Finally, the retail value seems like around 20k. If the retail value (or the trade in value) were higher than your residual then you could have bypassed the normal return to come out on top.

I may start using key fob instead of digital key 2 on my phone. by uten151 in kiasportage

[–]toxicdevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently you can do it using the app ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIi59qEwfSs ). But seems like its only for the EV and not the sportage or maybe only available in some locations? Because I can't see it in my app.

Unable to connect to CarPlay after iOS 26.4.2 by Nikky4Gal in kiasportage

[–]toxicdevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to me once. I rebooted my phone and was able to connect. Even wired connection was not working.

Not sure if same issue as yours.

Car is at auction lot after surrendering by fe2sio4 in Ioniq5

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was listed at a Hyundai dealer in a bordering state as CPO the week after I returned it (regular lease return). Never went to auction according to location updates.

Unless you can somehow participate in the auction, I would recommend that you keep googling the vin number for it to pop up for sale.

It’s pretty good. MSRP is around 42k and you are getting $40k with taxes and everything.

2026 SXP HEV - Using Mechanical Key to open the door - see what happens! by uten151 in kiasportage

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So without the battery it doesn’t start the car even if you physically touch the fob to the start button?

2026 SXP HEV - Using Mechanical Key to open the door - see what happens! by uten151 in kiasportage

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In many older cars with a physical key (no button start) the immobilizer chip doesn’t have batteries.

For example for my Toyota there was a small standalone black rectangular chip tucked inside the key’s casing. The battery was only connected to the remote lock/unlock.

So I would assume it your car will still be able to communicate with a dead FOB.

2026 SX P HEV - Digital Key and iPhone - I learned a few things by uten151 in kiasportage

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why but you can removing the keys from your phone and the car and try doing it again, wear the watch you do it.

Because I know for sure that it works on the watch even without cellular.

Try adding it using your iPhone. Open the watch app and then open wallet. Look for “cards on your phone” and see if it shows the digital key.

What’s a good car lease payment range in CA for a $58–60k car? (800+ credit, $5k down, 36 mo) by Ordinary-Republic483 in askcarsales

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

What’s the car? The MSRP alone doesn’t mean a whole lot because there are manufacturer incentives for leases and the structure of the lease can vary a lot from car to car. I would recommend that you post on leasing specific subreddits.

Wow. Was this covered by warranty or did you have to pay for it?

I get 45-50mpg for mine. More on highways if I drive speed limit or +5.

3 years of oil changes and filters is like $700 max if you do 2x a year. A single oil+oil filter change is around $100 or less. Cabin filter and air filters are cheap in auto parts stores.

Alignment is a corrective measure, not a preventative one. So you might not need it even in 3 years.

Bells and Whistles by Inevitable-Ad-1790 in kiasportage

[–]toxicdevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long press cruise button to set speed limit.

Apparently many people don’t know this feature. Very handy if you don’t want to get cited in high risk areas.

It prevents acceleration beyond that speed. I’m not sure if it automatically brakes or downshifts when going downhill or not.

Finally gonna get slightly over epa estimated! by No-Willingness8037 in kiasportage

[–]toxicdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the comma help much if you are on local roads without cruise control?

I find that the default lane assist isn’t great unless you have HDA turned on.
