Love My Stinger

Car is a 2018 Stinger GT2. Beautiful exterior. People stop and tell me how sharp the Stinger looks. Great fun to drive. Decent gas mileage (21 mpg around town & 28 mpg on the road). Michelin tires started to have pieces break of at 21000 miles even though lots of tread left. Very expensive.

Best. Car. Ever.

Best and most fun car I’ve ever owned! Love it and would buy it again 100x over!! Has more options and more comfort than the expensive BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Cadillac, etc…

Amaizing car

This is probably my favorite car. I have had Cadillacs, BMWs and Saabs. This one is by far my favorite in fact when I purchased this I was actually going to buy a Cadillac CTS. Then I drove the stinger. Now I want to trade in for a Telluride just because it will be easier for my oldass to get into.

Superb example of a performance car

Having owned Jaguars in the past, buying this car was taking a chance, but one I am very glad I took. The handling, performance, and reliability are beyond belief. The comfort is superb, and with all-wheel drive, it far out performs other so-called performance cars.

most reliable car I've owned

I have the base model but it comes with plenty of features and the styling interior and exterior is great I've gotten many compliments on the vehicle.

Kia that will get you there fast

After doing research on the Kia Stinger GT I was impressed with the looks and performance. I purchased a certified used Stinger. The first week I had it, I took it on a road trip and performed as expected.

Awesome vehicle

I was previously the service director for Kia in Charlottesville & I have seen the Kia brand truly strengthen. From coming into America as affordable, but riddled with quality concerns to becoming an INCREDIBLY reliable(300k+ miles). I have seen some questionable engine designs, but overall Kia stands behind their vehicles. The Stinger is no exception; it's an execution of excellence. This car proves that Kia is a MASSIVELY overlooked or even a ridiculed(due to their disastrous quality control in their early days in the US market) brand. I loved this car from its release. It is an extreme powerhouse of fun. All the hype is 100% right!!

Sporty and comfortable.

This car is amazing! I almost love it. I got a base model. If it was a GT, I would love it! It's got power and it's awd.

How are you still in business!!!!!!

YOU list a car for sale 31,000, I call to buy and you start telling me add this add that. I said I don't want all that. I want the car for what you listed it for. You then say the best out the door price is 36,000 and some change. Seriously how does that work. I think its hook and bait. Well guess what I'm not a fish and I didn't take your bait. TERRIBLE BUISNESS PRACTICE AT THIS DEALERSHIP!!!!!
