2019 Kia Stinger consumer reviews

The Kia dealership was my last stop after test driving several performance cars. I was skeptical but from the first drive it blew me away. The power from this V6 Twin Turbo is just amazing. The car is comfortable and the GT2 is very nicely equipped. Overall homerun for Kia

I went in to look at used vehicles, but was curious about the stinger, I saw one in panthera metal and was hooked. I drove the GT and it was super powerful and they were giving great deals. But I couldn't beat the base with AWD and 8 k off sticker. I get 30 MPG on highway and the 4 cylinder is plenty powerful. I put 93 octane and 30mpg plenty but you don't have to use premium fuel. Plenty of after market parts and fun stuff to add to the vehicle. Its only been a week but so far I love the car.

I would never consider Kia to owe, but Stinger GT had very good numbers on a paper and I've read many positive reviews. So I decided to try it out. Wow, after I test drove GT Awd, I knew that this is the car I want. Superb performance for the price of loaded Camry. Try it out, plenty of fun, best warranty, affordable(Kia cuts MSRP like 20-25%)

This car is the car I’ve been waiting for! It’s sporty with a lot of luxurious accessories. The performance and handling is so nice. A lot of critics and reviewers about this car would say the same thing and they walk away very impressed. It looks so sleek and sporty with a touch of class. This car is definitely underrated and such a great value for the hp, performance, and luxury. Simply Amazing!!

This is just a awesome car great family car and a sports car at the same time the best of both worlds everyone needs to have a car like this

I work for Kia. The Stinger I have is an AWD base model. Everyone asks what I'm driving and the attention I get for the car is nice. The car is terrible on gas (about 11-13 miles per gallon on average). I needed to have the door seals replaced as the car makes a high pitched whistle sound at 40mph plus. This is a common complaint in this car. This car is fun to drive and great, but for a 2.0 4 cylinder engine, I could've gotten a Subaru with identical features for way less.

So far ,so good ...have only owned 2 brand new vehicles before this ..one 2016 kia soul ,other one 2006 GMC pick up ...definitely most beautiful car I ever owned ..kia is evolving into a great car builder ....the product is well worth the price ...respect....thank you kia ..

This is the best car I have ever owned. I have a 2018 Base Model with AWD that I bought new in March 2019. Tremendous value. Tons of fun. Spacious, sporty, plenty of luxury. Super comfortable on long drives - Gran Turismo indeed. Lots of comments and rubber necks - even from a Highway Patrolman who thought he'd seen everything on the road. I enjoy driving a car few recognize. What are you waiting for?!? Get one!

Wanted a closer look at this car after seeing a few video reviews. Ended up loving it. Traded in my 2015 Genesis Sedan and drove this away. The Genesis is a great car, but now wanted something a bit sportier and quicker. The Stinger shares some of the same components as a Genesis, but gives up a little in comfort features for a lot of gain in performance. What I like: First thing that caught my attention was the speed and torque. Although the new Genesis 70 shares the 3.3 turbo engine, the differential on the Stinger, along with its longer chassis and nicely tuned paddle shifters, makes it more of a beast off the line (I found the Genesis shifting more stagnant and delayed than the Stinger). Secondly, I love the style of the Stinger. Has its own look, as if you took a Maserati, a BMW and an Audi and morphed them together. Great look for a KIA of all things. Third, I really like the drivers space. It’s like a cockpit and the seats can be adjusted to my shape perfectly and all gauges are clear, visible and easily in reach. Up front I lack no space, even though I am 6’5 (but I’d be pretty squished in the back seat). Finally, I love driving this car. It’s not a luxury sedan, so you will feel bumps and hear rattles (slightly), but that makes it a car you really know you are driving. It does come with driving modes, which if you want to you can tamp the car down to comfort or eco, which will noticeably affect performance but give you that smoother ride you may want. What I don’t like: Actually my biggest issue is that the car comes with auto start/stop which comes on automatically. If I forget to turn it off, the car turns off at every stop, then starts again when you give it gas. A lot of cars now have that feature. I hate it. There is a button to turn it off. If I wanted that gas saving feature, I wouldn’t have bought a sports car. Secondly, I bought the car in black. I love the color, but have heard others say it easily ships and is hazy. I haven’t had any issues yet, but the first thing I did when I got the car was applied a thick wax, then a sealant, then a top coat and I clean it daily. But that’s it. I love the Stinger. This car is great if you want a fast, fun, sporty car. It will compete with many higher end performance cars. You will feel the road a bit, and hear some noises, but that’s what a sports car is. If your looking for a luxury sedan, this is not your car. However, the Stinger actually does have quite a few luxury upgrades (I have the GT2). Great car for the money.

This is by far my favorite car I have ever owned. I get asked so many questions when out in public because this car definitely grabs attention. Ever since I bought a Kia Optima back in 2013, I haven’t left Kia. Their customer service and warranty is hard to beat. The Stinger is so much fun to drive and the acceleration is amazing. I can easily switch from casual driving to street racing. The interior is sleek and classy. All of the driver safety features definitely makes me feel safer when driving. My favorite part of the car is the engine sound. It has a nice soft rumble which isn’t obnoxious but definitely causes people to turn heads.
