Wow! This Gan Turismo is amazing. Cant beat the comfortable luxurious ride on a 4 door while blowing past Mustangs and Camaros. I hate to use the term value, but i was able to pick up a used 2019 GT1 for 35k with 8000 miles.

If you’re looking for a reasonably priced car that looks and handles like a sporty European sedan, is powerful, and provides plenty of space for luggage and, or sporting activities... look no farther than the Kia Stinger, which is available in rear, or all-wheel drive. The Stinger will amaze you 😎

Quality and attention to detail five star. For what you get for the price point versus the competition. A no brainer. Almost 2 years of ownership. No complaints. Period.

Update 01/12/25 My car now has 60,322 mi on it after almost 5 1/2 years of owning my 2019 Kia Stinger and is still driving like a dream! Haven’t even changed the original brakes on it yet. Though I know that’s coming soon sometime later this year! Still drives smoothly and sounds tight still. avg appx 30 mpg. Update 7/11/22 My car now has 32k mi on it and love it even more so since I first got it almost 3 years ago. So fun to drive and the compliments I get on it daily are numerous. It’s a beautiful car! Great car! Fun to drive base model and doesn’t look all that different from the GT line!

I liked this car the first time I drove it. After 9 months, I now love it. It is one of the best handling, best driving cars I have ever owned. The ride is firm and well-controlled.The performance is also top-rated. How can a V6 be so powerful and get decent gas mileage. The electronics on the GT2 are mind-boggling. Will I ever learn to use all that are available? The seats are very comfortable, well-suited for long drives. The dashboard, controls and screens are designed well and operate well. I'm so glad there is a switch to for the off/on engine feature, one of the few irritating items. The car is well-designed overall. The functional front fender brake vent is a bit large and that rear fender reflector strip is, too. Please make the hood scoops functional or remove them. The Stinger replaced a 2008 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. I love both of these cars but for different reasons. As of September, 2021, my opinion of this car has stayed the same. I love the way it handles, drives, rides and performs. It is a pleasure to drive and I look forward to each time I drive it. And it gets decent gas mileage, too!

I bought my Kia Stinger GT2 in July 2018 and I haven’t regretted it one bit ... well would have loved the 360 cameras, but not disappointed in the bit. Acceleration is the most noticeable feature, along with 375 ft-lbs of torque at 1,300 RPM.

I love this car so much. I constantly recommended the kia stinger to people and when it came time to get a new car I put my money where my mouth is, haven't regretted it. First month with the car consisted of 3 separate 6+ hour drives in a single day. The first drive I was amazed by how my back didn't ache nearly as bad as it usually did by hour 5. The leather seats are great and proved great support for extended drives and hold you in the twisties. I was able to fit my girlfriends mountain bike in the trunk with the seats folded down (please lay a towel down on your seat belt buckles when folding the seats down, they tend to imprint into the leather). Storage capacity is great, I truly believe that this body style could save sedans because this is just so practical. I would love to tell myself I need 365hp but the truth is I'm in the city most of the time and this 2.0t gdi engine is honestly wonderful for city and highway driving. Hopefully the aftermarket for this engine will expand due to this engine being interchangeable with parts from the Mitsubishi Evo X's motor. Tunes already exist and the aftermarket is healthy. The is my main criticism of the car and 95% of people probably will not care but the base model stinger lacks the Limited Slip Differential from the GT1. I'm not looking to be a DK but the traction management gained by an LSD is something I wish I could gift this car through the dealership. The car also comes with not so great tires but that could be fun if you're into a little rotation. The stinger is a great platform though, solid chassis, rwd, and the transmission is pretty solid. Put some good tires on it and you're gonna be pleased. My stinger is honestly wonderful and I've driven it about 7,500 miles since owning it and loved every one. No catastrophic issues or minor ones either other that my trunk shelf came with one broken peg. I bought the car used though so I tinted the windows and but the shelf in the closet. I highly recommend.
