KIA in the past ten years has slowly but surely has improved on every level. The quality of cars, effective price points, and easy maintenance has proved that. What really gained a lot of the car community's attention the past couple of years was the KIA Stinger GT - a four door GT car designed by an ex BMW designer. With a turbocharged engine and plenty of options for the customer, it was a step in the right direction for KIA. So as a platform to modify should this car be taken more seriously? Let's go for a drive and find out. Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday,Thursday, and Saturday!

That Kia is a silent killer to BMW. People are probably too concerned with the Kia badge unfortunately.

[@tyg1434]

Silent you mean nonexistent 🤣🤣

[@diydrivenGA]

thing about Kia and Hyundai is that there are still kinks to work out, and a horrible dealer experience at both sales and service....neither knows how to deal with an customer familiar with cars. They also play games with the warranty since they get paid so little on warranty jobs.

[@DriveLineZ]

@@diydrivenGA agree, when I had my BMW, the service departments were extremely nice even with the warranty work. I would say thats because they sorta know how "difficult" its customers can be sometimes. But like with any car, if you don't know anything, they will take advantage of it. Had that happen when my brother's wife took their X5 35d in and guilted her into doing stuff that was super unnecessary.

[@ihavenoname4851]

David Santiago I’m pretty sure they offer a 7 year warranty on most of their cars.

I absolutely adore my Gt1 Stinger. Mishimoto just finished their intercooler upgrade, so ill be picking that up.

People are sleeping on the Stinger right now, but im thinking that'll change here soon enough.

[@Mightyxenos]

@Sam Viator I just got my GT1 and have just finished putting exhaust and lowering springs on. Going for intake, and Jb4 next. I'm trying to be patient because lap4 supposedly has their tune going public soon and they offer a kit for 600+ to the wheel. I had concerns about that much power and contacted them on Fb and the tuner surprisingly reached back out after I had concerns about what the engine can handle. He said they have done 50+ at the time with no reports of issues so we'll see.

[@koreandude81]

At the time of filming I was on Boostane + 93 on Map 3. Since then I've done some testing with ethanol and now run E35 on Map4. The car has never ran better. Map 4 logs are super tidy with no timing corrections and it's crazy how fast this thing is with basic mods. I've upset a 392 Scatpack or two. Lol.

The veloster is more fun to drive but the key is more luxurious however the velocity is less expensive and just as fast if not faster stock especially with its weight difference the Hyundai also has a ton of customization options as far as being able to change the suspension and all of that from stock and has a much better exhaust from stock it makes all the popping and turbo noises that you could want a car to make from stock while the stinger sounds like poop stock so with that being said if you're going to dump money into the vehicle then a stinger would not be a bad choice however if you want something that's going to give you all the fun straight from the get going you don't have to dump money into the velosters the better option and it's less expensive

I absolutely LOOOOOVE my Q60. Crazy power tuned with minimal work.

So question here re quality on Nissan vs Infinity quality. I know Infinity is Nissans premium brand but I've heard so many comments about Nissan's recent quality being pretty well.. shit. Like Nissan Rogues having electrical and shift issues, I have a buddy with a Micra that is less then 5 years old and is just in bad shape and been to the shop way too many times for it's age. Is that the case for Infinity's also? Obviously I can google it but first hand experience or knowing someone is better I feel. Thanks!

[@seth_ap148]

I think they’re ugly.. but so good for the money I’d still buy one, who cares about the badge. Shame these probably won’t see a second generation.

[@sephiroth1386]

I was wondering about this platform when i found out that you can get the Genesis G70 with a 6-speed manual, although its just with the 2.0L Turbo

I mean this thing already gave my widebody Scat pack run for its money, and now this .LoL

The taillights kind of look like Dodge chargers tailights

Ya it kind of does but I would never mistake it for a charger 😅 the rear end shape is too different

[@justar6865]

@@shaloon64 yeah I wouldn't mistake it too because it has that weird line that continues to the side and the badge

They are more Maserati like than Charger like. Have another ganther

[@koreandude81]

I regret not illuminating the tails for the shots. They look more Maserati when lit. The 2021 face lift tails are more Dodge when lit as it lights the entire bar across the hatch. Looks ugly imo.

The only car that is faster with just a custom carbon fiber hood is a civic.

[@One_Bar]

I really like them and would consider getting one if I didn’t have a Jeep trail for a driveway.

[@carpathiandevil]

I'm really impressed with the Stinger, I want one.

[@impropernovice2149]

Agreed 🤝

[@kevinhibbard320]

Going from an M sport 328i to a stinger gt1 and I am loving it. Started bolt on mods, the Eibach sway bars cleaned up the body roll and tightened up the steering turn in. I am waiting for a MBRP stainless exhaust to be delivered, and I am gonna put wider tires when i replace the stock PS4S.

[@noelj1492]

other day I honestly thought I saw cool looking BMW and when it came up close it was Stinger now i get the reason

[@esko-22]

im just going to say: damn

[@theniceones1613]

I am personally glad that people sleep on the Kia. Its a car you wont see that often on the road and no one knows what it is. Keep up the "badge hate" I love it

[@Stardust51]

I honestly didn't even know they made JB4 tuners for this car... Welp guess I know what my next mod is going to be

[@joacimlopez9735]

You should look at their 450hp package. BMS actually has good mods for the stinger/g70.

[@koreandude81]

My car is literally a rolling BMS billboard, lol. It's recommended to upgrade your plugs to Denso 5346 plugs (1 step colder) when doing the JB4. BMS also has a zero maintenance OCC I highly recommend. Also, since I'm RWD, I'm running their differential brace. It reduces slop and aids traction. Really helps it hook up. This fall I'll be getting the BMS intercooler and WMI kit. Should be close to 500whp by then.

[@joacimlopez9735]

@@koreandude81 my car would be the same if I could buy directly from them. The k8 and khartunerz websites don't carry all of their products.

[@DMCarReviews]

It's a really good car with an interesting design. Of course it has its minuses, but still a nice offering from Kia. They had some crazy cheap lease programs in 2018.

[@bee-ex2cs]

ill just say what everyones thinkin hAhA FuNnY wEeD NuMbEr

[@Pr0freestyler]

Can confirm. I own a JB4 tuned AWD GT2 Stinger. The tune alone turns the Stinger from impressive to straight beast mode. 0-60 is now down to 4.3 seconds in mine with no exhaust or intercooler upgrades, just some cheap DIY intakes. After the intercooler upgrade, better intakes, and some exhaust upgrades, I should be at or under 4 seconds for 0-60. Guys with custom tunes and WMI are hitting 3.5 second 0-60. Look up Tonkabob to see the current fastest Stinger in the world. This car is beyond impressive. Can't wait to see the results from some turbo swaps I've seen.

[@adamg400]

Did you change the spark plugs out?

[@Andy-Andeee]

Now somebody needs to swap the 6 speed manual from a Genesis Coupe into it 🤔😁

[@HailTheShogun]

What rims you have?

[@smith7886]

I think it's a shame that the Stingers doesn't get the attention it deserves. They are a very good looking car.

[@kylewingrove]

I funny enough went from a 2013 genesis coupe 2.0t r-spec to a 22 Stinger GT2 Scorpion Package (Looks so good) . I loved my genesis coupe and my brother drives it not but let me just say... The only thing I miss about the genesis is how it handled turns better and it being a manual. The Stinger is just amazing in every way there is perfectly balanced as I call it "Luxury Family Sports Sedan". Great review and I can't wait until I can mod mine more as well!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Watching this review and then I see all these hot cars following the stinger... How many cars do you review in a shooting day? How many batteries? How much time do you spend with each car? Inquiring minds want to know! On the KIA: First memory I got was a Kia Rio. That was a car from early 2000's, and my 1993 Peugeot 405 was put together better than that. Admittedly my mind has stayed in that mindspace. Probably because I have not driven anything KDM, ever.

[@seethingsclearlyawaken3424]

I like the KIA Stinger GT, rear drive. Perfect GT.
