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

    That’s weird. I have a Mazda 3 and I’ve never seen the HUD and gauge have different MPH.

      I talked to a different Mazda dealer today and they felt it was abnormal too. Either someone changed a tire size and threw off one of the spedometers, or a tire sensor is off, or that the whole system needs to be re-calibrated.

      Either way, I can’t trust the spedometer, and that’s a safety issue. I’m going to give them a shot at fixing it, but there’s no way I’m paying to fix it. :)
