Am I doing this right?
Rental car.. Don’t know if I’d buy a GM but this thing is spiffy. Push the start button and adjusted the seat perfectly. And the wife likes it.. and if you’re married you know that’s something! lol
Maybe the only Kansas plate in Alaska. Surviving the AK roads and Alcan at least so far. Developed a small vibration at idle and sounds like sparking somewhere it shouldn’t. 9.6 and 9.8 last tanks so letting it go till it doesn’t.
Purchased May 11th, traded the Mustang. So far, so good. I will say that Hyundai's 7-speed DCT is far smoother and easier to live with than the Ford /GM 10r80. I've seen plenty of complaints about the DCT online, but mine has displayed none of the behaviors people are talking about. I think it helps if you know how to drive a car with this type of transmission. They don't like slugging along in rush hour traffic, but there are driving techniques to even that out.
Love the synthetic leather, the layout of the dash and all the tech included. This is a really nice car for the money.

Niece did exact same thing. Traded her Mustang on nice looking KIA sedan. She ran over something in the street and did lots of damage to the Mustang and decided to let it go. She is so far real happy with the KIA.

nice, i am Impressed with the mpg you stated. esspecially at altitude
Wife's 2020 Wrangler Sport, up from the lake for oil change, new wipers and tire rotation at ~8K miles. I have really grown to like this vehicle despite its less than stellar ergonomics, it is the perfect Cape Cod car. When she first said she wanted one, I tried to talk her into an restored older Defender, or I would 'pretty up' ours and put on a soft top, but she said "no...I want to just hop in and know it will run, and also not smell like diesel.." Fair enough. Also one of the best Dealership experiences we ever had, but that is another story.
She ordered a base Sport v6, 6 speed, with the only options being A/C and the uprated wheels and tires. ~4 month wait for a manual build. I added OEM running boards, mud flaps, receiver and Hella e-Codes & adapters to replace the cute (little Jeep grills as bulb shields) but really awful OE halogen headlights. Also did some frame and body cavity wax before any beach jaunts and Carhart seat covers which are excellent BTW.
