To 'tractioninc', if you had read my earlier post, you would have seen that I owned a Z28 Camaro, which had a foot operated 'parking brake' and I used that in exactly the same way. To all others, it is clear from this thread that, if you are representative of all American drivers, it shows you...

I'm happy to accept your explanation for the links. I don't think the administrators should do that, but it's their forum. As to mode of driving, I think much of this hinges on the American terminology and that the vast majority in North America use automatic cars. Here in the UK, it is a...

It would seem that you do not know how to drive properly or courteously. Then again, your post just seems to be its own vehicle for providing web links. Do you get paid for such nonsense?

I wondered how many owners have come across bugs in the software? Of course, some may not be bugs, just annoyances to me, but I'm keen to see if they are universal. The two main ones I have, of those I can remember at this moment, concern retaining settings and the driving history. I'll have to...

To answer my American friends, yes, I do use the Parking brake at lights if they are on for any time. It is not difficult, it's courteous to those behind, sensible, and more safe. When parking it is completely in accordance with the manufacturers advice. Indeed, they specifically state that you...

I read that article and, while it is a good read, it appears they do like to think of themselves as cleverer. I felt it necessary to point out the error regarding 'regeneration'...

I repeat, if you stop for any length of time you should use the parking brake. Not only is it a safety issue, but also one of courtesy as otherwise your brake lights may be dazzling people behind. Then again, how many motorists are courteous these days... :x

You should always use the parking brake for ANY car, whether EV or not, automatic or not, when you stop for any time. That includes at junctions and traffic lights. I'm always horrified when watching American TV (drama or reality) that show cars rocking after the people get out because they...

There is obviously a software bug as the three figures (Driving Range, Efficiency and Driving Efficiency History) do not agree. I have reset my figures and, for the most part, achieve around 4.7 per trip. However, in my history (the other tab in the ludicrous 'Tree growing' page) I'm told every...

It seems that my desire to not have lessons in physics has not been understood, so I'll try a different tack. Forget efficiency and driving style for the moment, but merely consider the physical nature of a device and compare it to another item in the Soul. When you turn on the car and the home...

Given my experience on several sites (including here up to now!) I think you will be unlikely to get an accurate answer. You will likely hear many opinions expressing the way others like to drive, and advice as to how you might do so, but as to hearing a correct technical explanation as to...

Without wanting to be picky, I did say that I understand the pure physics of Newton's laws of motion and conservation of energy. To go back to my point, your response seems to bear out my suspicion, that there is actually little point to the different settings. If a driver can produce the same...

I'm curious and yet to find an answer relating to whether the settings available actually make a difference to efficiency, or if they are merely aids to help those who are 'heavy footed', so I hope someone might be able to help here. The exact answer will likely depend upon how Kia have...
