  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.
