Kia just entered the sports car arena!

ive owned my 2019 Stinger GT1 for a month and am very pleased. Believe or not I traded in a 2016 Caddy ATSV. The caddy has the speed and handling over the stinger however not as much as the price difference. A new ATSV goes for over 70,000. The Stinger has a more comfortable ride and useable back seats. It’s performance is incredible for the price and a ton of fun to drive. Way to go Kia!!

The car Maserati wished it had built

Not only is the car extremely comfortable but it swallows the miles easily. You can spend the day driving across the state and step out of the vehicle feeling just as fresh as you did hours before when you started the trip.

Incredible acceleration

The Kia stinger does not fit the usual status quo of what you believe a Kia is. The technology within it is very in line with what you would find in more expensive vehicles. The acceleration is truly the best part of this vehicle. I did notice while test driving that the blind spots are exceptionally bad, if that is something that would bother you then I would say this isn’t the vehicle for you. If your looking for performance on a good budget this is a vehicle to look at.

Loving The Stinger GT2...50K for a Kia?! xxxx Yes!

This vehicle is exactly what I hoped for when I began to stalk its inception and production in late 2017. I bought it after putting 300,000 miles on my previous vehicle (Hummer H3). I needed a family car with enough room for a newborn, a sleek interior, a performance non-dad car feel, and as much engine as I could muster. I previously was going to look at the BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes equivalent but those packages began near 60K and beyond. I got the rear wheel drive ( I live in TX) twin turbo v6 model and I couldn't be more pleased. All the features are on par with the competition but I love the 3-d overhead view camera, active driver assist, self-adjusting cruise control and the custom mode adjustment to the suspension and transmission. 10 of 10 stars for sure.

KIA Stinger

This car is a great value for the money. I really appreciate the driver assist technology that makes the car safer. Red upholstery is fun.

First classy sports car I've ever owned

This car exceeds my expectations and fits all my needs. I graduated from the grandma soccer mom car to this fancy beast. It handles very well in Colorado snow

Hit my one year anniversary with my Kia Stinger GT

Where do you begin without sounding crazy about a car... Comfort is amazing, handling is responsive and controlling, luxury features are top notch, sound system from Yanni to Bob Marley is Rich/ depth/ full/ and transparent accuracy, room is plentiful (I'm 6'), trunk is spacious, never been so excited to drive a vehicle before! Even one year later, still the feeling of first day joy! What would I change?... Hmmm... Maybe a little investment in more sound damping material, and tire sizes too be equal ... Not being able for a tire rotation leaves you with a 20k tire replacement task... 11/10 rating.
