Although this isn't an "all-new" vehicle anymore, it's still worth a look for anyone interested in a luxury sport sedan. The Kia Stinger GT is legitimately impressive for the price and performance isn't bad at all. It's not purely sport minded and not overly luxurious...but it will satisfy people on both sides with it's balance of each. In addition to that, the Stinger GT is super easy to live with due to it's practicality as well. The seats are comfortable for all day driving, there's a lot of space in the Kia Stinger trunk, it's relatively efficient for it's power, back seat space is good enough for 2 adults and there are nice storage bins up front. If you're in the market for something around the $50k mark...consider the Stinger.

What do you think of the Stinger? As you can tell, I was impressed in many ways. It punches above its weight and truly offers a lot. *Thanks for watching and have an awesome day!* 👍

@Audiomainia2310 4 жыл бұрын

Always wanted the Stinger - I've been getting feedback of long term use / like less than a year, and creaks and rattles are appearing. Hope that's rectified - and the display is just small. Even a Sonata has a 10.25" display. My only complaint.

Good review and like someone else said I have seen many reviews and you the FIRST to say passenger dimming mirror. Very rare to find on cars but my Jeep GC has it so I am spoiled with both side mirrors dimming. Stinger is a great buy especially if you build a spreadsheet and start comparing to others as things start to become very clear just how good this car is 👍

Thank you! No kidding, it’s so nice to have both sides auto dimming...those seem to be the worst areas for blinding lights behind you, glad they included it. It’s a sweet car and like you said, stacks up very well!

The Stinger is trying to sell itself as something it’s not. Let’s see. Quad exhaust and fake vents with 365HP?? The mustang Gt is 460 w/ dual exhaust. The Camaro SS matches the Mustang HP with dual exhaust. The BMW M3 has 453 with quad exhaust. Kia is the ONLY car putting a quad exhaust on a 300 pony car without even hitting the 400 pony mark. Dodge doesn’t even need quad exhaust to sell itself as a beastly fast car. So who exactly is this car marketed to? My guess is the person who doesn’t know if they want a sports car or a sedan that’s been tricked out. So Kia got you a sedan and tricked it out with fake vents and a useless quad exhaust just for cosmetic purposes. Might as well put that money into a Subaru or just go get a real muscle car because the Kia Stinger is NOT a muscle car. Or put that $50,000 into a pre-lease 2017 Guila Quadrigfolio. You’d be happy you did.

Honestly, this car has nothing but good reviews . The price seems to be fully justified. It's perfect for those who want a european feel with some european styling and asian reliability (korea is moving up there). People are going to look back on this car in awe. Maybe it's just me but I dont find theres anything impressive about non-M BMWs or non-RS Audi or non-AMG Mercedes. While there are some beautiful models/classes, this car turns heads and is an excellent balance of all that one would be looking for in an entry level sports/luxury sedan with AWD.

I have the same color/seat combo as this. Someone hit me three weeks back who drove a brand new Kia Sportage, and I shit you not, his car bounced off mine and was sent into the other lane, while the Stinger barely budged. He was to my left, then he got over on me without looking and his front wheel hit my rear wheel. This car is a TANK! I have never felt so safe in a vehicle, even driving my Subaru Crosstrek.

Every time I see a comment slamming the resale value of a KIA I wonder about the job schools are doing in teaching arithmetic. Here's a hypothetical example. Vehicle "A" sells new for $45,000. Vehicle "B" sells for $65,000. After 4 years "A" loses 40% of its value in depreciation, a loss of $18,000. Vehicle "B" loses 30% of its value over the same period. A loss of $19,500. "B" is worth more after 4 years ($45,500 vs $27,000) but that's not the relevant calculation. Vehicle "A" represented a savings of $20,000 on initial purchase and another $1500 in terms of depreciation loss. Altogether a savings of $21,500. Furthermore, the same results can be found in the real world. Last year I traded a 2012 KIA Sorento for a new top trim version of the same vehicle. The trade-in value I received from the dealer was within $800 of the Blue Book value of a comparable 2012 Toyota Highlander (the champ of resale value in the category). But I had paid about $6000 less for the Sorento than the best offer I had for a Highlander from a Toyota dealer. Even with the slightly greater loss in depreciation, I saved over $5000 on the entire period of ownership. My dealer did well, too. He sold my 2012 Sorento in 24 hours for $2000 more than he paid me.

I loved this car as soon as it came out. But I wasn't ready to spend $60K (tax included CAD dollars) for a brand new one. So, I waited about a year and got a slightly used one with low mileage for a lot less on a 2018 HiChroma Red AWD GT Limited (equivalent to GT2) and love it even more now that I own one. The hatchback is great ! I much prefer that over a regular trunk. The only negative points is the sluggish Kia UVO remote starter, the rather muted sounding exhaust, and those auto-dimming mirrors don't dim enough for my taste (I will get tinted windows installed soon anyway).

Thank you very much! Yeah hard to say right now but based off first impressions...it’s very well done. Hopefully it holds resale value well!

My favorite car when I finally get some money. Stinger GT and Genesis G70 are the only cars I want on my driveway so right now enjoy my 2011 Sonata till that day. I pay cash for cars so might take a while or end up making payments for this. lol This got the best warranty in the industry so won’t break down like the Audi, BMW, Infinity and Mercedes competition. Last same as Toyota’s Lexus and Honda’s Acura but way cheaper to maintain and own.

Isaac Kamau both the stinger and Genesis G70 are sweet. They’ve done a great job with them. Props to you for paying cash for cars...that’s the only way to go and the way I recommend! Hope you can get one sometime...could probably get a used one soon for a decent price 👍

@isaac198428 4 жыл бұрын

Prime Autotainment Yes that’s the plan, to get a 2019 GT sometime next year. Either your exact color or white. This machine is gorgeous... pictures and videos don’t do it justice because when you see one on the road all you do is stare. Just like the Telluride. Same for the Kia K900 & Cadenza.

If you get the GT or the GT1 like I have it has a different shifter that will lock it into manual mode when you slide it to the left. It is a better system than the electronic shifter even tho that costs more. FYI

I’m 24 and have been looking at a car that has decent/good mileage but has the power to keep up with the faster cars. And from what I’ve seen this car can hit some damn good speeds. Do you think this is a good car to invest in or would another for the price be better?

@PrimeAutotainment 4 жыл бұрын

For the price I feel like it’s a pretty good deal considering how many features it has and how it feels more luxurious than expected...but if performance is a bigger deal than you could get a Mustang/Camaro/Charger for cheaper...mileage isn’t great but not terrible either.

Tyler Callis I know the charger has good gas mileage. My roommate has a scat pack and he says he able to turn it to a four cylinder engine when he does long drives and then turn the rest back on when he’s back in town. And they have lots of room (scat pack). But maintenance between the two I’m not too sure on and will have to do more research.

@tylercallis6087 4 жыл бұрын

@@tannerhughes6274 the tires on the kia are much more expensive compared to the charger, but the charger is heavier than the kia, so the ride is going to be a little different, the kia is corner zippy the charger is more straight line designed, the 4 cylinder while driving long distances is very nice but I believe it only works when cruise control is set.
