Kia Stinger was quite a surprise!!!

My wife and I had been researching and test driving Audi's for several weeks when I found an article about the Kia Stinger in my news feed. We drove over to You good Kia in Springfield, MO and took one for a test drive. The design, technology, finish, performance and value all pushed us to purchase one. After a few days of arguing iver who was going to drive, my wife and I went back and bought a second one! I have owned many performance cars (mostly Porsche) and I am incredibly pleased with the performance of this car. The technology is amazing and the finish is as good as any Porsche I've owned.

Beautiful, fun GT

I was looking for an AWD sedan (not CUV/SUV). Found this and stopped looking. Great styling and it moves (sport mode). The fact that it is a hatchback so that you have accessible trunk space is one big plus for me. The interior seating is comfortable and mostly well laid out. The controls for the USB music source need a little (maybe a lot) of work however. The Wise package adds all the safety capability that you want or need. Only about a 1000 miles on it so far, so time will tell about the reliability.

Amazing car

Its an amazing car. Bang value for the money paid. Sleek exterior and interior. The red color looks awesome and I have had multiple head turnings so far. Little less space in trunk compared the the optima I owned but still quite manageable for a sports sedan. Would have liked the surround view monitor which is missing even in top of the line GT2.

Well handling with performance

Rear window way too small with very large rear pillar blind spots. Info center should have been intergrated into dash or designed to be retractable. With that being said, design is outstanding, vehicle seats are very supportive and comfortable and both seats are extremely adjustable. The design Dept was ?on the money?

Very luxury

The kia stinger fits your ever need. For example it's a luxury car it's a family car and it's a sports car all in one,and oh by the way it's all wheel drive so great in the snow. It also has a turbo 6 cylinder engine which gives you some power to your car with 365 hp.My friends cant even believe it's a kia that's how nice it is.
