BIG POWER UPGRADE! This is the refreshed 2022 Kia Stinger in the GT-Line trim, starting at only $36,290! It has a new 2.5L Turbo 4-Cylinder making over 300 horsepower and a very strong 0-60! So should you buy this over the more powerful and more expensive Stinger GT?? Or Audi A5 Sportback??

Reviewers compare the INTERIOR as luxurious as an Acura TLX, which is an actual luxury brand, and say the stinger is the better car.

@MrMarc1360 2 жыл бұрын

@@dannnsss8034 it is a better car all around. More space, hatchback, more power, rear wheel drive platform. An Acura is still a Honda and no more luxurious than a Kia. Fit and finish in the Honda is far behind the germans( actual luxury), and they are too expensive. The stinger was designed by ex Audi/bmw designers and it feels like it inside. Can’t say that for Honda/acura.

The base engine is more than enough for your novice spirited driver. Adding a simple intake can add even more power for cheap. Yes the V6 twin Turbo is awesome but definitely won't be disappointed in the new 2022 2.5 liter

@@brentlowery2547 On paper yes, but the you can tell a significant difference when you drive them. The 2.5t has considerable turbo lag, and the 3.3 doesn't because of the two turbos. The difference becomes more apparent after 60mph. Source: I test-drove the 2.5 for a day and own a 3.3.

Would be nice to verify the factory acceleration claimed data. 0.5 sec slower on paper than v6 is not much, especially when we're getting much better mpg. Furthermore, with a few mods You're good to go below 5sec for sure.

@Ben-bs4od 5 ай бұрын

This AWD or the Giulia AWD? Do you think stability and traction control and limited slip differentials are enough to keep a rear wheel drive car from tailspinning. I watch so many Mustang, Charger, BMW and other rear wheel drive crash "shorts". It seems to me irrelevant the slip differential because of the way the power to the rear wheels just keep sending it in the direction you originally pointed, no matter how much correction takes place. In the 1970s, cars I drove with rear wheel drive were too underpowered to cause much harm (not musclehead Camaros or Mustangs). All the crash data suuports that the Mustang is the most fatal car. Easy to see why with rear wheel drive and lots of power.

@snow86man 2 жыл бұрын

I personally chose this. V6 is around 15k more in today's market. 300hp is enough for me, I drove 200 miles round trip the other day with 110 miles being interstate at 80mph and averaged 35mpg for the trip. I love this car, and although the V6 is 70hp more and I imagine fun as ever to drive, I don't need the power or the extra on the monthly payment.
