2018 Kia Stinger consumer reviews

The Kia Stinger is definitely a head turner, from the style of the car to the feel in the road, best valu for your money.

Performance, quality, style and value are the hallmark of the Stinger. At a lease for less than $36,000 for 363HP Grand Touring car, it is a bargain. It accelerates, it corners and it stops better than most muscle cars. Great sound system (subs under each front seat), roomy and a four body trunk makes this a spectacular car.

Im coming out of a Corvette so I wanted something very sporty but balanced with room and comfort. Nothing really fit the bill unless you were in the 60-100k range. Was driving home and saw what I thought was a new Porsche Panamera in a pizza parking lot. I was floored when I saw the kia logo. Test drove and purchased the next day. The best part of the test drive was not the 0-60 in 4.7 seconds or the flashy interior, it was the handling and ride that sold me. My wife kept saying her escalade didnt take road bumps as well.

Great car for the money. Only issue is the nameplate. Dealer service also not the best, but that's a local issue; corporation is really trying to improve. Acceleration, handling and exclusivity! Took of badges for submodel and very few people know its 365Hp (sleeper).

My wife leased a Optima for 3 years. We had no issues with this car, so I thought the Stinger would be reliable, the price was right, so I bought it. It's a little difficult to get in to, but once you're in you enjoy the ride.

I've wanted a Kia Stinger since they were released last year and I received a lot of confused looks when I say my dream car is a Kia. I purchased a 2018 GT AWD in limited edition sunset yellow. I was hesitant at first because of the recall on the yellow paint, but the recall was previously satisfied and it really looks beautiful. Kia really stepped up their game with this model, and I love every second of driving it. The drive is smooth, handling is responsive, and for the size of the twin turbo engine, it's pretty quiet. The exterior is unique and sleek, and really gets a lot of attention. There are many customizable options, from driving mode (eco, sport, smart etc.) to the color of the interior ambient lighting. If you're thinking about getting a Kia Stinger, go test drive it. You'll probably fall in love.

It has now been a month with no resolution from City Kia of Orlando about my brand new Stinger GT2 with several manufactured defective parts. It has been 9 days since I contacted Kia USA complaint department about the dealer with no response from them either. It has been almost a month without my trade being paid off and now I am making two car payments. Daytona Kia finally got me in last week since City Kia would not return my calls or emails, and they said it could be up to one year before they could repair my leaking and rattling sunroof on my brand new 2018 Kia Singer GT2 because parts on are on back order.

This car has plenty of leg room. I love the many different drive modes, for example, Comfort, Econo and the Sport modes. This the 2nd Kia vehicle I have owned.

I take a long time to choose a car. I need to love it without reservation because I run it into the ground. My last new car was in 2002 (Subaru WRX), which I ran until it rotted out and leaked water from the sunroof-- actually thats when I started looking. I loved it to the end. I looked at MANY cars, including Tesla Model S (too culty, too many quality issues, and didn't seem very robust to me despite the 1 million mile claim), Infiniti Q50 redsport (a little plain), and some more mundane Japanese cars (I won't do German cars until they fix their myriad of electrical, dependability, value, and quality issues). I didn't buy a car for two years as my old Subaru continued to leak on my drivers seat. Nothing worthy of my attention or money. I wedged a piece of wood in the sunroof to stop the leak, and kept on trucking. I did not look at Kia at all, until I saw a great Consumer Reports review, then saw the Stinger won Canadian car of the year. I have great respect for Canadian reviewers as they seem the most impartial to me. I test drove the vehicle, researched it for two more weeks, and bought the base GT on my second test drive. I'm a car guy but dislike badges and paying for names. It is an amazing value reminiscent of the car that the WRX was when it came out in 2002. It bent the rules and challenged the established brands. Given Kia's focus on quality (and my meticulous upkeep) I plan to have this car until cars start driving themselves -- and yes, no sunroof this time.

The car has great looks and outstanding performance . This is my second Kia and I loved my soul also. I compared the stinger to a Mercedes 250 cal and the stinger was bigger offered more options and had a better design.
