Wowza! I love my Stinger!

The Kia Stinger is a pleasure to drive. Plenty of leg room, head room and comfortable seats. The sound system is amazing! I receive compliments every week on this car. It drives like a dream.

Kia 2018 Stinger 3.3T AWD

One of the most amazing tweak able performance cars with Style/HP/ and amazing acceleration. The same as the Genesis G70 (Car of the Year 2019) BUT with a 3 inch longer wheel base (all found in the back seat leg room) and is why I took the Stinger over the G70 as I want to be able to have the same GO but able to have comfortable passengers too. Out of the box you get 0-60 in 4.7 sec, with so much more with some TLC tuning. BEST executive Hot-Rod sedan for the money that can take 4-5 people with ease. I do not regret getting this car for sure, besides the nonstop compliments from on lookers.

Best car I have ever owned

The Stinger is an awesome car designed by German engineers and built by KIA. It competes well with all the European GT cars in its class and surpasses most. The Stinger was the featured car at the Paris Auto Show in June 2018. I can easily afford a BMW, Audi or Lexus but I chose the Stinger for superior performance.

bang for the buck

Was considering an Audi A5 Sportback and found that the Stinger was Kia's competitor to it. Skeptical about the Kia brand, but after test driving and doing tons of research decided to save myself a few thousand and get the Kia. haven't regretted the purchase.

Holy Shhhtinger!

Beyond satisfied in every which way shape and form. Kia has gone above and beyond with the stinger GT. Everyday feels like day 1 with my Stinger GT, not one ride has gotten old I just want to drive and drive. I never imagined myself driving a yellow car but cannot begin to explain how happy I am with my sunset yellow GT from performance to comfort and style it’s by far the best car purchase I’ve made with zero complaints. After parking I can’t help but turn around and stare. It attracts attention and I’m yet to hear a negetive feadback from bystanders. Best part of all is I can fit two car seats in the back seat and my kids get just as excited to go for a ride as I do.

Hot ride. Very Fast

I was searching for a car from August until October. This was 1 of my last 2 to make my decision. The Kia Stinger GT2. Only reason I didn't pick this was the monthly payment. I refused to pay over $700 for a $53,995 car on a lease. The car I ended up with (Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400) which had a sticker of $62,975 I ended up paying $603 a month, with no money down (except 1st payment and DMV) which also included the wheel and tire protection. Definitely need this in NYC. This car is very sleek. Very fast and handled well (test drove at 90mph). Went to 4 different Kia dealers, and test drove at every single place. If you want a fast and sexy sports car, this is it. Try getting the price to where you want to be. Like I said I searched for 3 months. Price went from $1000 a month in August, $900 a month in September and $700 a month in October. Got my call for the Infiniti and jumped on it. Wasn't going to pass up on a price I was searching for. Maybe in 3 years when my lease is up this is what I will get next.
