Not bad at all since it was manufactured in may 2022. But wanted a brand new one bad. There was one with 4k miles on it but it was in NJ a few states away and i wanted a dealer that was closer so I got mine from the neighboring state. I love it.

I think too many people get caught up in the looks of the Stinger(as far as the ugly side reflector just get a piece of vinyl that matches your color and apply it. Doesnt even take 10 min for both sides) will make the car look better Disclaimer: do it at your own risk because the refector is there to make it DOT compliant, and if you cover it then it wont be. I had the 2022 GT2 Stinger and it suffered from a blown head gasket. Its not just the 3.3 V6 its also the 2.5 4-cylinder models. Sad to say but Stingers have cooling system issues and Kia has yet to resolve them. The dealer makes excuses about long wait for recall parts and also varius parts to do repair under warranty. Went to dealer twice already. First time it was fixed, second time it was fixed again and it happened not even 2 months after the repair. Talked to a couple Stinger owners and 1 had same issue on his 2022 Stinger G1. Coincidentally the dealer service area had a Stinger on the lift and I asked a tech what was wrong with it out of curiosity, he said blown head gasket and fuel pump issue and that it was in for repair. I didnt wait for a third time and got rid of it. I think this is why they want to discontinue the Stinger so they can dump the name and go back to the drawing board. The Stinger reminds me of how Pontiac tried to bring back the GTO for 3 years and it failed and eventually Pontiac went with it. THINK TWICE before you get a Stinger, it wont look good sitting up on a lift while they give you a Kia Soul as a loaner.

a twin turbo V6 and does about 165ish, a '67 Mustang Fastback didn't even have Turbos and neither did a '69 Charger, so your twin turbo V6 in a plastic car can get about 30 mph faster than a stock Muscle car from the 1960's with no turbos, all steel and bigger engine and is only 2WD, but it's only really any faster than a Truck with a 4L V6 that has no turbos and isn't made of plastic, it might have some plastic, but that's only for the Bumper panels and the interior.

So me and the wife bought a optima tgdi right after KIA spent all that money to revolutionize their tooling and manufacturing back in 2010. They should have made improvements to their vehicles longevity…that damned optima while expensive and pretty and damned fast…was the biggest piece of crap I’ve ever owned. The turbos in it failed not once not twice but three separate times. The entire cars paint started peeling and had to be completely repainted…the moonroof leaked so the entire headliner had to be replaced. The transmission had problems that they were never able to quite figure out…so they eventually bought the car back and put us in a new model in the exact same color with the same options…we had the same exact fucking issues out of the new one!

Sorry but Dogde already made the Charger. Making the Telluride was a better choice by KIA

Easy Controllable Vents? Automobiles had those since the 1920's, well actually if you include Horse back riding, then well in that case since around 200 BC, maybe before that, come to think about it, they've had pretty easy to control vents during the Dark Ages with just an open window and Shutters. Sorry, I'm just continuing to watch it to see how else this 2023 KIA is Surpassing everybody else since the invention of transportation.

@@Rick2dapper I want to see that, I doubt its reality. I dont personally like hellcats and think they are UAF, but I dont think a Stinger can be modded to that extent short of swapping the engine. This is coming from someone who had a GT2 (2022) . Yeah the Stinger is sporty but its not in the category of AMG, Hellcat, Corvette or any of those. This is comparing fruits and bread. Closest thing would be maybe an A5, 3-series, C-class or something along those lines, but even then I think Kia is not on the level.(except maybe BMW because they are mechanical garbage.)

They put a Hole around the actual Tailpipe so the tailpipe can go through the rear plastic bumper panel? I'm not even impressed with seeing it on a 2002 Corvette and a Corvette is one of the Cars that actually does Impress me, Ferrari kind of impresses me also, Lamborghini, Dodge has ways of impressing me, Ford has ways of impressing me, I'm more Impressed by a Toyota Tundra driving down an already plowed blacktop road, calling that being more "RUGGED" than everybody else, except when I pull up next to them on my Huffy Bicycle that I have to pedal, manually and having Computer animated Spider truck Winch coming from it's front Grill Emblem than I am with KIA's Cartoon Rats talking shit about everybody that's not KIA.
