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 is normalish, from what I’ve seen. My grandpa’s GMC truck from the early 2010s displays differently on the gauge and the digital readout. I think my Uncle’s late 2010s buick is the same.
I would be OK with one of them being off so long as I knew which one was the “right” one. In the end, I passed on the CX-5 and got an Audi Q7 Prestige instead.
That’s easy to figure out. There are speedometer apps that get your speed via GPS. They aren’t good for 0-60 times, as their refresh rate isn’t great, but they’re awesome for setting your cruise where you want it or checking accuracy/offset of speedometers. My favorite is digihud pro for a one time fee.
