My God, the Kia Stinger GT is like an actually attainable dream car! It looks absolutely insane, it is fast as crap, it handles great when driven as the GT car that it is, and it is so ridiculously practical with that hatch design and cargo/passenger capacity. If I had $50k right now I'd already be signing the paperwork at my local Kia dealership right now.

And rest assured that if, in the very unlikely event you experience problems with the car, you will be treated properly by Kia. I know from experience. Avoid the European junk like the plague. As they say in Oz and NZ: "Only Fools and Poms buy European brands". Check J D Powers surveys to see that the German brands are junk both in terms of product quality and customer aftercare.

I saw a Stinger GT in the wild for the first time this afternoon. It was a GT2 in Hi-Chroma red with black leather, the same color combination that you see in all the commercials and preview drives. This Stinger was parked on the street, so I was able to stand and view it from different angles for a few minutes. Such a striking and eye-catching design.

I bought my stinger GT1 3 weeks ago. I was cross shopping the BMW 4 series gran goupe along with the 3 series and Audi S4. What really won me over with the stinger was the warranty. And it's more spacious than all of those. The biggest downfall for the car to me is city fuel efficiency. If I drive it like I want it I'll easily see 14-16 MPG city. But highway I get about 27MPG. Not bad for the power you get. But city could be better. Loving it so far. I got the Pearl White.

The Stinger needs more than hype to get anyone to buy it.

I bought a new 2018 StingerGT1 AWD and after 2 yrs of ownership I still meet new friends with people who love it when they see it. It has started so many conversations, and to this day it still turns heads and inspires me! Love the interior and the way it drives, better than my mom's MB E350!

First car I bought from a dealer was a Kia Spectra SX. Loved it so much, when I saw the Forte come out, I waited a few years and bought an SX Koup. A few years later (now), the Stinger comes out. Have a small family that's starting to grow, and the Koup isn't cutting it. Time for an upgrade!!! Hoping I'll be able to snag one used in a year or two for cheap... Worked with the Forte, but I doubt it with how much press this thing has gotten. Ugh!!! Why you gotta be so good, Kia!?!?? 😂😅😓😢😭😭😭😭

Or 6 year old audi A7 for a lower price. So... Nope. Kia... Brand new, the color i wanted, and warranty. Yay. Most annoying thing is that i can't use voice commands to change the radio when Android auto is on, but i think that's an Android auto problem.

I found your channel while researching a replacement for my 2014 Taurus SHO. I cross shopped a Fusion Sport and a Regal GS, but neither of them were an upgrade … after watching many reviews (including yours) I got the US version of the car in this review except mine is blue with the all season tires. I love the car, and it definitely is my daily driver. Hard to replace a Taurus SHO for an enthusiast, but a Stinger GT2 AWD is a really fun and useful replacement in Minnesota … with better acceleration, handling, traction, control, winter driving characteristics, and features. My favorite part of daily driving it is the combination of the electronic parking brake, the electronic shifter, and the auto hold. I turn on the auto hold, os each time I arrive at my location, I just open the door and get out … it sets the parking brake and puts it in park. I love it. There’s so many thoughtful touches car, it makes any day I drive better, and makes every day one that I want to spend driving.

I cross shopped the Acura TLX A-Spec, Lexus IS 350, BMW M440i,Genesis G-70. I bought the Kia Stinger GT Limited in Brampton. I shopped the car at multiple dealerships in the GTA. Thanks for your efforts guys, you helped make my decision. This car has better power than the Acura and Lexus. The BMW is twice the price and the G70 doesn't have the utility and is 8 grand more. It does have prepaid maintenance though. The Stinger is fast, comfortable, convenient, practical, good looking and fun at the best possible price. Also has the best warranty of any of the competitors. There is a reason you guys have done so many videos of this car. It's fun to drive!

Love that it's different, so, so comfortable, the cocooned driving position, the speed, the Harmon Kardon system, the head-up display, and the "on the move" rear camera.....though granted you need it. Don't likes? In the UK, the fuel this thing needs gets pricey. But that's helped by the fact I've given beer to help loose the beer gut, arms, legs, face, ass.

I went to see the Stinger when it arrived at the Kia dealership here in St. John's Newfoundland. For a while it was 1 of 1 on the island and very well still may be. I was mesmerized by the presence of the car, and the attention it received. It was 8:00 in the morning (my Rio was getting an oil change) and there must have been at least 8 or 9 people circling the car. I got the same feeling when looking at the Stinger that I received when I had the incredible opportunity to see the Lexus LC500 up close at the Lexus dealer in Barrie, Ontario last summer. Both these cars, are the underdogs in their segments. But because of that, they both seem that much more special. Good job Kia, and as always, great video guys! :)

Kia really upped their game. I think they knew they were falling behind. The Stinger GT seems like a fantastic car.

I just bought a Kia Stinger GT black from Archer Kia here in Houston. The dealer was crappy but the car is worth it. I traded my 2016 VW Passat SEL. I considered waiting for the new VW Arteon but I've been yearning for a pure RWD GT that didn't cost damn near 6 figures. The Buick Regal GS was another vehicle I considered waiting on but it was just to feminine to me. The Buick would be a cute car for a mom but it's a little too soft for my taste. Now the car that almost won my heart was a 2016 Chevy SS black with red custom interior. However after driving them back to back the Kia just felt lighter and more agile. I love this car and I have no regrets. This is my first Korean vehicle so we shall see how this goes.

I was considering both the SS and the Regal GS, I like the underdog effect those cars have! I ended up getting an ISF and couldn't be happier.

It's a shame they don't rebuild the SS with a sportier look on Cadillac's Alpha Platform. The CTS-V is a beast but it's over $100K and the only affordable option to get the platform is a Camaro.

I love driving! I got a Ghost Grey Stinger after I saw this video. Getting a Kia Stinger GT was a mental decision for me. So, now I have a car that gives me all I need when I go on a drive to reorientate myself. It's perfect! I'll be keeping it for a long-long time!

It is an awesome car, but the article your referring to that was pushed out by Jalopnik from the original AU video is pretty misleading. Motor Trend and many other "car testing" channels and programs have had the GT run low 12s and the Stinger run mid 13's. Its all a matter of where your at, whos driving, and what the temp is. They are pretty close in quarter mile but honestly shouldn't really be compared at all. Someone interested in a Kia stinger wouldn't go oh the mustang GT is faster, then Ill get that or vice versa.

Stevethepirate8973 nah the stinger needs to be launched correctly. The DOHC engine means good top end but terrible low end torque. My friends stinger forst was 4.6 now broken in is 4.1 with the launch mode and mid 12s in the quarter. Plus with just a tune it adds 80 hp and 120 ft lbs. Thats 450 hp and 495 ft lbs with low 3 second 0-60s

I came across this channel yesterday and binged a bunch of your old videos and subscribed. I wanted to share my Android Auto work around with Yuri, I also prefer iPhone over Android on my personal phone but Apple Maps sucks. So I have a basic basic android phone (an old one from a friend or family member works too) plugged into my Fiesta ST all the time. It has a $10 Sim card on my family plan active on it. So I can use my iPhone as my personal phone but my car has Android Auto and therefore Google Maps active on the dash as soon as I turn the engine. Works like a dream, and with music, Spotify Connect will let me control the music from my iPhone though it plays through the car. I can receive calls cause my carrier mirrors my calls, I just can’t do Siri, outgoing calls or text through the car from my number cause Android Auto does that extra number. But I can live with the trade off.

got the 2020 gt1. fun car, no matter what other people comment about the badge. did a 1am drive going home, barely cars around. the stinger did most of the driving with its adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. it was around 1.5 hr drive and i was not tired when i got home. also, with the dealers, my experience was better. and i got the price down to USD 40k. maybe if buyers are actually nice, and you got a nice sales person, you can get a good deal too.
