Running low on gas? Our Kia Forte not only gives you a low-fuel warning light, it asks if you want to know where the nearest gas station is.

    This seems like yet another instance where switching cars constantly results in skewed opinions.

    This might seem like a nice idea once, but having it prompt every time? Classic example of poor UI design. Sure, you might have to dig through a menu once to set your preference, but I'd much rather do that in my own car that mash the YES/NO button every time the low fuel light comes on. Perhaps that option is available in the KIA, and if so, good. I don't see how this prompt is in any way the ideal solution though.

    You just already confirmed what I anticipated. You have a fit when the Dart lets you know when your tire is 5 pounds low and declare it an over sensitive monitoring system. You also have a fit when the Dart's nav system is lets you know when you are over the speed limit and you can't turn it off but when the Forte splashes a large notice on the screen when you need fuel you think it is the greatest thing ever. If the Dart did that we would have 2 paragraphs on how necessary that is and if Dodge is letting you know too soon. This is either biased journalism of just completely inconsistent, probably both.
