Hello - :|. I’m certainly intrigued by the Stelio, and strongly considering it for my next vehicle. Through my driving experiences, I’ve yet to receive firm answers on a few items and was hoping the group could assist... Since this is a long laundry list, please let me know if I should be posting in other sections...
1) What are the “gripes/gremlins” with the Stelio? I see the Gulia had quite a few growing pains, and I’m wondering what issues members have experienced with the Stelio. I saw the post about how the Stelio is now more mature, and FCA has corrected many of this issues that were present with the Gulia.
2) Can the comfort access feature be disabled? (Not certain on the official title, how the drivers seat moves aft when you shut off the car to assist with exit/egress?) Concern is if I have a car seat in the rear, the driver’s seat will impede in removal of the infant carrier.
3). How’s Android Auto? Without issue? I received word that this feature is now available, and has been in production since the last week of December
4) Cruise Control (non-adaptive), coming from a BWM, the one feature I like is being able to increase/decrease speed in increments of 5mph. So if the PSL drops 10mph, I just click the speed down button 2x’s and my BWM scrubs off the speed via light application of the breaks. Other cars I’ve owned/driven you have to wait for the momentum to naturally die off (from various forms of friction)...
5). I saw a post with no reesolution, OEM trailer hitch? I believe the factory rating is 2K pounds, more than ample for my jet ski, however I’ve yet to see the hitch/wiring harness....
6). Any word on when the “idrive” like controller wil be touch sensitive? Its in the OM, but listed as an available feature.
7). Any knowledge of an aftermarket gear selector to replace the unrefined (hard plastic, with a a prominent crease at the top) OEM one?
8). Rear bumper applique? (A clear film, or the likes to protect the rear bumper as you are loaded/unloading the trunk).
9) Anyone wire a RD to the RVM? How difficult is this, as the Stevelio has significnat paneling around the RVM to conceal the numerous sensors...
10) How’s the upgraded sound system? During my test drive, it felt lacking fullness (mid’s/bass response didn’t fill the cabin, for reference in my BMW, I have the bass flat in the setting, treble tuned up and the sound is nice, filling, and crisp.
I know that’s a lot of questions, so any help in answering them would be appreciated. Trying to narrow down the choices as I look for my next vehicle. :|
