Although I leased and got pretty much locked into the limited options on the GT AWD model you could probably find a good buy price if researched properly. I am in a three year lease and right now after driving the car for 6+ months couldn't be happier. The car performs well in all driving conditions. The acceleration is great and the ride is smooth, the different settings give you power options. Leased it from my local dealer in upstate NY , where I had originally leased two KIA Optima SX Turbo's prior to the current Stinger. No repairs or reported problems so far.

This car is awesome except for the paint on the hood chips extremely easy. I have owned five black cars and have never experienced the problem of chipping paint like the KIA stinger does. I actually had to take the car to a paint shop to have the chips repaired then had them put three coats of clear coat to help with this problem
