I got an AWD 2020 GT 2 weeks ago.Fantastic car--chose it over others because of the warranty.It also tops out at 167 which is one of the fastest cars you can buy under 60k.Also the V6 engine is so strong that You only need to use the turbos on passing or testing the power.The AWD pulls off the line like a gunshot.

My buddy loves his, not the recall on his paint so much (yellow) but KIA is all over that! Repainting all metal surfaces, paying for the rental and $5K for the inconvience...and if your not happy with the repaint, they'll give you another Stinger GT of a different color, that's making things right and then some IMO! These cars really stand out on the road! I love the Guilia Quadrifoglio for sure but coming off of an extra $38k makes you have to really think, these things are freight trains =========

Klasse Act no other companies would do what you said like Benz bmw and all those companies would turn you down would never offer you what you mentioned Kia and Huyndai have best warranty and best customer service and I think they honour their warranty and not only that they go above the limit means they will do things not even in warranty like you just mentioned to make their customers happy

The GT2 I drove went above and beyond what I was expecting, I INSTANTLY fell in love when the salesman pulled up with the GT2, and after hopping in and turning it on.. WOW the comfort, the power, the drivability, the technology.. I cant stop watching reviews and videos on this beautiful car. Next weekend I will be test driving the 2019 Infiniti q50.

People complain about the body roll but it's wild how well setup these cars are for really tight twisty mountain roads. Took my 2019 to the NC mountains a year or so ago with my dad in his 2015 Carrera 4S (manual) and he literally couldn't keep up. Between the Stinger's superior low-end torque and torque vectoring AWD I was going through tight sections so much faster than he could muster without getting some scary oversteer. the 911 is just setup for a high-speed circuit and that's fine but translated to mostly a boring 2nd gear only experience in some of America's most amazing mountain roads. The Stinger however was more fun than even the 2015 Cayman S my dad traded for his 911...

11:54 I believe that the bolsters are leatherette, not leather or nappa leather. Some people dig their elbows into the seat to turn themselves while getting out (in?). It must be an unconscious maneuver. A Stinger owner I read about on Stingerforum.org. had his seat replaced and within two weeks the new bolster was showing wear in exactly the same place. The shifter in the GT1 is taller for a reason: it has a very handy, cool manual gate feature that keeps the transmission in manual mode; you can either shift by bumping and pulling the stick shift, or using the paddle shifters, easily switching back and forth between them as desired. I really like my manual gate! I have no desire to give that up for drive by wire in the GT2.

Considered the Giulia but I'll take the 5% less edge for practicality and to be out of the shop ;) Our 124 Spider is for the super twisty roads!

"YEAH, BUT it's still a Kia " I have absolutely no 2nd thoughts forking over 55k to kia, more options and less time in the service department than the other German counterparts,, I have experienced with the SXL for the last 5 years, so that's why I have full confidence in Kia., no badge whoring here..

I leased a Ceramic Silver GT1 AWD w/ drivewise for three days / 250 miles before the deal fell apart over paint damage the dealer inflicted. I think it's a bit misleading that almost all reviewers are making blanket statements about the Stinger's performance based on the GT2 trim (LSD) with summer tires. My GT1's non-LSD rear end really got floaty / sloppy when you push it (no matter the drive mode) and the 18 inch all season's added insult to injury. It could have been the tires, but my car was also pretty unsteady when cruising at triple digit speeds. It was definitely fast as hell in a straight line and certainly looked the business, but the specific trim makes a big difference in how the Stinger drives.The fuel economy was also truly horrible, no matter the mode and the dealer treated me like I was leasing a Soul. I ended up in a Giulia Ti Sport instead, and it's worked out far better for my needs, though my previous vehicle being a MK7 could have something to do with it.

Stinger is family car.Try and get a car seat into the Julia or more than 1 set of clubs..the Stingers hatchback closes the deal for me.

People had to be beating the hell out of this thing for the leather to look like that after 6k miles. I have the same leather in mine, 18k miles and looks brand new outside of a little color from blue jeans I've had to scrub off.

Very nice review. Tip: Silicone spray on the door gaskets eliminates the creaking noise you mentioned. The seat bolster has been beat on hard in a press car, however it is a hot topic on kiastinger.com. Looks like the bolster needs to be avoided or it will wear.

I have a 2017 Sonata right now. Great gas mileage and I drive about 15 miles in heavy Vegas traffic. I want to get a Stinger next year. The question is should I just trade in the Sonata and use the Stinger as my daily( I do have a family but we usually use the wife's SUV) or keep the Sonata and buy the Stinger as a weekend, going out type car?

I've never driven the base Stinger 4 cylinder so I can't say regarding those. A base Stinger GT is still cheaper than the base Alfa though and like I say in the video, I'd pick the Stinger GT.

@MrRyanS1983 6 жыл бұрын
M1MyRifle the base Stinger is the better car. Whether it’s the 2.0 or 3.3 Stinger as Matt said both cheaper and more fun. While more fun to me anyway. I tried them all and bought the 2.0 Stinger. It’s just a matter of what trim level you want. The Alfa has reliability issues, poor dealership network, and poorly designed infotainment. It’s also better than BMW 430i and 440i as far as price and power.

I have driven a s2000 for 10 years. Thinking about buying this vehicle since i need a more family friendly car.. and hearing anything about bad rear visibily is just laughable. Ive lived with probably half of that visibily and with no rear backup camera without any problems for a verrry long time. Lol

Thanks Matt, I am now the proud owner of a RWD 2019 Stinger GT1 in ceramic silver. Wanted red interior but settled for black. The RWD offers plenty of traction and for $2000 less. And in Phoenix the AWD isn't necessary. The only thing I plan to do is change out the factory exhaust which is a little lame. Keep up the good work!
