Kia is a brand laughed at and unappreciated in North America and the stinger is shit compared to its competitors in its class. Kia will never go anywhere, and it doesn't deserve to.

@@Nickdalman It's funny to read your comment. The fact is that Kia is part of Hyundai Motor Group, and it shares a lot of resources with Hyundai. Starting with the power plant in the Genesis G70 which is the exact same one as in the "shitty" Kia Stinger, as you ignorantly called it. Yes, over 20 years ago, Kia made some really crappy cars. Much like Hyundai did about 10 years before that. But lately, that two-car-brands-merged-into-one Korean company has really stepped up its game, big time. Anyway, I love to play the underdog in my "shitty" Kia Stinger GT Limited and wave bye bye to badge haters on the road when I zoom passed them and watch their bewildered faces...

@benjamindoyle668 5 жыл бұрын

Exactly. For instance, my grandmother has a 2018 XC60 T6 (different Volvo, I know) and it ticks all the boxes for her. She's not interested in the steering feel or the turbo-lag. She's maybe not the target market, but she bought the Volvo for its strong points. Buyers of Genesis products probably won't be people like my grandmother, they'll be people who are interested in road feel and 0-60 times. Both cars are fantastic and I would be over the moon to own either of them, but the interesting part is simply that they appeal to slightly different markets.

@aaactive8 4 жыл бұрын

The Volvo is sensational. Reviewed it pretty spot on. I too agree, the steering is way too soft. For too long volvo steering was firm and had the most horrible turning circle. They've over compensated hugely. It's too soft. But it's good point is it is still manageable and constant throughout. Some electric steering in vehicles feels different at certain turning ranges (VF Commodore comes to mind - yuck!). This is at least controllable. The motor is extremely soft too. The whole car lacks a dynamic feel and doesnt give much feedback. The previous 3.0L was so much more fun. But... It's going for a very soft and comfortable feel. And honestly it's nothing short of a masterpiece. If you want something more aggressive and raw don't buy it (buy a 15/16 polestar ;) ). If you want still want some power and drivability but don't mind it being on the softer side, do it. The G70 is great, but it's absolutely nothing in the volvo when you factor every single part in.

@rex_s80 2 жыл бұрын

I know what you mean with turning circle. Coming from a p2 owner with oversized all terrains 😭. U turns are always 3 point turns and 3 point turns are 5+ point turns. But man does the steering feel nice (I have done some chassis stiffening) and I enjoy it so much more than modern cars. Still not Miata or older bmw level but it’s still great for something meant for comfort. The engine being NA and lower HP is still very peppy and very reactive after the autotragic has adjusted to your driving style (no sport mode but learns how you are with the throttle) and kick downs are aggressive and nearly immediate. The gear ratios let it down though. A manual would make the peppy engine very fun.

I love your descriptive analysis in your reviews.. one criticism I have is that when you're trying to show us how "fast" a car is by steeping down on the accelerator, we (the audience) have no reference point to judge its speed. Would love to see a dash cam showcasing the quick down.

@thinkbig9366 5 жыл бұрын

Yes I agree the Volvo steering is a tad mushy, but with the speed chip of the Polestar in the R-Type the 316HP is closer to 330 or more, and it really jumps out from the crowd from out the gate. Ad the overall comfort and it really is a great car to drive, either in the city or on the highway. The only thing I wouldn't spend money on is the Heads-up display. The ApplePlay is more informative and responsive. Save your money here and put it into the upgraded sound system. Great review here, however. Just tuned in to you guys and I think you're amongst the best out there reviewing cars!

Please do a Mazda 6 2.5T, Honda Accord 2.0T, Nissan Altima 2.5T, Kia Stinger 2.0T comparison. Then take the winner and compare it to Audi, Mercedes, BMW grand coupes/sportbacks with the same size engine and/or horsepower. PLEASE???

@ubacow7109 5 жыл бұрын

Usually you go and compare things class to class. Mazda 6 and Accord I understand since they are in the same economy sedan class, but the Altima is a compact class which would compare to something like a Civic and the Stringer is a RWD sports car which is totally different from all the ones you stated which are either FWD or AWD... So there's a lot of unfair balance between what each of these cars excel at and therefore you will have extremely inconsistent results trying to compare these...

Okay, First of all I love you guys! Yes I'm a car nut, but I find myself watching your videos as much for the antics as the car reviews. I also like the fact that you review everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. I even enjoy watching you review the boring cars, of which there are many these days. You're video on the Isetta was a total hoot! I like the comments you make regarding the livability and subtle differences between similar cars. Things that are not obvious when doing a traditional test drive, or looking at the specs. Besides all that, you guys seems to really like each, and have fun. This makes me wonder how you got together, especially as you are from different continents. I am currently driving a 2016 Infinity QX50. I really wanted an AWD premium hatchback with decent performance and responsive handling. There were few of these available outside of BMW, Mercedes, and Audi in 2016. Preceding the Infinity, I had an Audi A3 hatch. Loved the car, hated the dealer. The Infinity goes like hell! Love that 325 HP six and rear drive bias. Love the interior, and overall styling, except for the goofy headlight design. What I don't like is the steering , road noise, laggy 7 sp tranny with NO paddles, and the high ride height. I recently up graded to Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season tires which has help the steering feel significantly. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the many hours of entertainment you've provided, along with the great reviews. BTW, you must have a great production team, as your audio and video quality is tops. Stay safe and happy holidays Pat Horrocks

@Rev limits my Intake tune and downpipe stinger walks m3s. Meaning this with the same mods would kill one. They can easily just crank up the boost from the factory and add stiffer suspension components,stickier tires etc etc. With this motor cranked up or having slightly bigger turbos it would have no issue rivaling the m3 on the street.

@@brocks692 oh I'm sure but a 80k car should walk a 36k Kia. The fact that 2k in mods gets you a comfier faster car than an m3 is huge value for money. For the price of getting that m3 you can get an upgraded turbo g70 and save tons of money... It's all on value there. You can get a whipple charged new Gen mustang 10speed if you want cheap speed, 45 k for a 9 second car lol. Just saying if power is a concern you can have a fast stinger or g70 for much less than an m3
