Okay. So I have been waiting for this car to arrive for almost 1 year. I test drove the GT1 and really liked it. This is a really nice sports sedan. I compared the features and performance to the A5 sport-back (the other car I am considering). This car far exceeds the Audi. The only item I preferred that the Audi has is a full digital instrument cluster. But that is really not a deal breaker for me. Even though the car just came out, the dealership I was working with was fine in selling me the car at $750 over their cost. I will be looking to purchase the car on Jan 2, 2018.

More awesome than we'd thought!

Our 2018 Kia Stinger GT 2 AWD is an excellent car--period! It drives very similar to a German car but cost $15-20K less! We traded in our 2014 Audi A8L 4.0L for it and have not regretted it as our Audi warranty was running out at over 50K miles. Audi dealership gave us poor $ for Audi trade-ins and nothing for Audi loyalty. Kia tried harder and succeeded in earning our purchase. Kia warranty and services are longer and better. We have owned Audi S4, S5, Q7, A8, BMW 435i, Mercedes-Benz 300, & 550. But we couldn't be happier with the Stinger in terms of a fun drive & ride with a lot of thoughtful & convenient features and safety features. Acceleration is instantaneous and powerful! Steering and feel is excellent! Yes, Kia has some minor cheap parts in it, but so do Audi and BMW. The main thing is that this Stinger is the complete package that will put a smile on your face every time you drive. We were looking to buy a used Audi S5, S7, BMW 650iX--but couldn't be happier with a brand 'new' Kia Stinger GT2 that is just fully loaded and of the right size! Once you get over the Kia badge and realized that 2 Germans from BMW and VW came over to Kia to design and create this amazing 'sleeper' of a Grand Tour 4-dr coupe, it's nothing but a pure satisfaction of owning one of the most fun and functional vehicles that is of great value! We love our Stinger more and more as we drive it. No regrets here! And the Kia staff at sales and services departments are most excellent at Kia Safford of Fredericksburg, VA.

This car has to much to list for what the sticker price is. It is better in most every other car in this category and less expensive.

I got a base Kia Stinger Black (tan interior) love the power, stereo, premium feel and exterior styling. Can't be beat.
