2020 Kia Stinger GTS: FULL REVIEW | This Tiger is FEROCIOUS and Ready to POUNCE!

Absolutely! Maybe thay should offer a color like this on the Telluride.

I'm loving checking out your guys' channel! I'm actually a GTS AWD owner (one of 400!), and this was the best, most accurate breakdown of the GTS I've seen. There's a lot of confusing, or ambiguous information out there on the GTS, and you did a great job breaking it down! Only thing I think you missed was a demo of launch control and how to engage the GTS AWD "drift mode" 😉

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! Awesome car 👍👍

2:22 OMG I really wish all Stingers going forward will have the "Stinger" logo on the back instead of the Kia logo. Looks a million times better.

[@boboutelama5748]

No. I Hope they will make the Kia logo bigger in the next Stinger. Just to drive away badge whores and other peoples living only by their image.

[@beefen7921]

They could have done a lot better with this car considering its "Limited" edition model. If it had my way, the specs would have been bumped to atleast 400hp, enhanced exhaust sound, splash of orange color in the interior (seats, side panels) to compliment and match the exterior, larger display on the odometer and a HUD.. for the price of about $45k+ and above, and yes, I've seen some dealers making outrageous markups with this vehicle, again, they could have done better.. but it is what it is.. Kia continues to make waves and other manufacturers are taking notice.

[@bruschmidt9943]

Couldn't have said it better myself. I would only add, they should gloss black paint (or wrap) rear upper section of roof panel. This way we'll see continuous black between hood & decklid. There is no improvement or benefit in matching that piece to the car !

I just brought my 2018 Stinger in for its second brake job. Rotor issues. First time Kia payed, not this time. $900 to fix. Going to check other options. I have had the car for 18 months. Love the car, but not sure I will keep it since it is a lease. And if you look at Stinger forums, there are many others who are having the same problem.

[@RoddNTune619]

[@boboutelama5748]

Little question, but important. Does the fact that you send 80% to 100% of power to the rear wheels, not affect the durability of the transmission ? We had this on other cars before, and some suffered of those issues.

[@TheEzserg]

I think the "Stinger" and the "Cadenza" are a bit high in price, don't misunderstand me I like the Kia, I like the style attracts a lot of attention, in fact I have an Optima my lease ends this year and I wanted to change it for a Cadenza but here where I live in they don't have it, they have the Stinger but it costs $ 45K With this amount I can buy a 2019 Jaguar or a Mercedes. I know that these cars that I mentioned do not have as much attraction as the Cadenza or the Stinger. But in the end if you buy one of these cars you can sell it at a better price than a Kia.

Because you can put the GTS D-AWD into 100% RWD. So you get AWD when you need it and when you don't need it, you can have a 100% RWD car. As much as I loved my GT2 AWD, the rear LSD and the ability for my AWD to go full RWD made it totally worth the switch.

I was thinking the same thing. Outside of the carbon fiber and maybe the alcantara it doesn't really feel like you're getting a top of the line car. Kia could've just taken the GT2 and added the extra bells and whistles, along with maybe boosting the horse power and exhaust note.

Appears to me the orange paint, carbon fiber trim and some relatively meaningless interior trims are the only differences between this so-called limited edition and the GT-1that sells for a lower price. No added power, no new wheels, same brakes...pffffffft. Add in the routine Kia squeaks and rattles that will appear somewhere around 2,000 miles and be significantly more pronounced by 5,000 miles, the $15k difference between the Stinger and the German sports sedans is well worth the premium.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Having owned two KIA's over the last decade I've never experienced ANY "squeaks and rattles" in either one. Perhaps you weren't listening to the video. That wouldn't be surprising. The GTS has an MSRP is $1300 LESS than the GT1. Any other insightful comments or would you like to correct your errors?

@@stephenhendricks103 Since you were compelled to play English teacher prior to your edit, please note the spelling and definition of the word "squeak" per the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. squeak (sic) noun Definition of squeak 1 : a sharp shrill cry or sound Further, based on my experience riding in my brother-in-law's Cadenza (20,000+ mileage) and my son's Soul rental, I imagine that the tire and road noise, the wind noise, and the intrusive engine noise tended to minimize any squeaks and rattles in your Kia vehicles.

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@terrykarlin4340 Thanks for being more polite than I was, Terry. You may be correct about real world prices since there will be fewer "limited edition" GTS versions available and demand may create that result. On the other hand, KIA clearly aimed the GTS to test the waters for a slightly more budget friendly alternative of the Stinger with the V6 engine designed to capture those who want fewer options combined with more "exclusivity." Not being especially fond of orange it wouldn't be me but I suspect that well heeled students at the University of Texas and the University of Tennessee will snap them up. I say that because when I was at UT in Austin years ago practically every orange Olds Cutlass in the US was owned by sororority girls at the university. :) Edit: I suppose I should add Syracuse U students and alums. :)
