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.

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.

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!

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! :)

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.

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.

Haha, it is possible. More likely the latter of the two. You have to think that the headline ALONE has brought a ton of views to them. Not knowing this channel I wouldn't want to accuse them of lying though.

Or as someone else mentioned for crashing after cars and coffee. Take it from a mustang owner, most mustang drivers are stupid irresponsible...

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

Well done gents. Thanks you the extra feedback on the quality of the audio system. This one is on my shopping list once my GTI lease ends.

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.

Great review! I picked up my Stinger GT2 a week ago and I love it! Traded in my Optima SX, which was my introduction to Kia. The company is definitely taking this to the next level.

Did you get a 2018? Are you in the United States? Did it have the 360 camera system like seen in the parking segment of their video? I can't seem to use mine, if it even has it! I have a 2018 GT2 AWD, my dad just picked it up last Friday for myself and him.

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.

I grabbed a 2020 Stinger GT in Canada and I've put lowering springs on it AND the Eibach sway bar kit. It's a totally different car now!!! You guys are welcome to test it any day you like. I also put the skirt kit on it and a rear spoiler. It's beautiful...and it handles so much better than stock. It's yours to test if you like on any corner including cliche. :)
