So last Friday, my wife was moving my car off the street into our driveway, was hit by another driver. :(
2013 Kia Sorento SX, 80,000 miles.
Just talked to insurance today, they reviewed the dashcam footage, other driver 100% at fault, they're cutting me a check for $13,204.
So now what? I wasn't prepared to shop for a car. I was HAPPY with my car. I had upgraded the infotainment system to one with dash, rear, and turn signal cameras. Android Auto/Apple Car Play. Heated seats with a ventilated drivers seat.
Really, since my heart attack, I only drive one day a week anyway, but it was nice to be able to just up and go somewhere.
Advice on suv's from other brands? Nothing against Kia but given the crazy theft problems, I'd like to avoid insurance complications.
Bonus: Dashcam video: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ja6kz0qrs7n8la0tb4eeu/231027213507.MOV?rlkey=4makjmacebv83j65ivkhmuj8n&dl=0
Personally I like this about my mazda. Touch screen controls while you're driving suck. Between AA and voice controls, rarely need to do much anyways.
I don’t mind it. It’s the initial startup that seems to be slow and unresponsive. But because it’s a rental I’m not quite sure if it’s the infotainments fault or all the stored phones on it.
The dial is useful, but in the Miata they put it where the cup holders used to be and it’s a bit too far back to comfortably use while driving.
