Beautiful but dangerous! Dangerously beautiful?

I recently purchased a 2020 GT-line; I actually had a 2018 GT1 when it first came out, but the extra power was fun but not practical and I didn't like spending so much on gas and insurance. The GT-Line is perfect-it has the looks of the GT but doesn't have the screaming engine. The base engine is plenty peppy. And I'm not missing anything really from the GT regarding the interior, except for the ambient lighting at night. One thing remains, though-this car gets attention. People will hover around it in traffic, be it on side streets or on the highway, to get a better look at it. I think it's dangerous because these cars hover in my blind spot or are in my way when I'm trying to maneuver. Also, you need to make sure people wear their masks and keep their social distance when they come up to you in the parking lot to ask you questions or comment about the car. Overall, it drives perfect (I also have AWD), looks good, and the Harmon Kardon stereo (I got the Sun and Sound package) rivals the Bang and Olufsen stereo I had in my Audi from a few years ago-simply awesome. This is such a honey of a car.

Good riddins BMW 550I

I traded in my BMW 550I on a new Stinger. Unreliability and monthly trips to the BMW service drive finally wore me down. Wasn't really sure the Stinger was the answer but boy am I glad I took the chance. This car smokes the Germans in every aspect. The most noticeable is that it is reliable. Thank you Kia! Performance, comfort, tech, drivability and styling beats them as well. This car is as good if not better than all the reviews said it was. FUN, FUN, FUN to drive. Only tip for Kia is to put an exhaust note on it to match the car's performance. I would buy another one tomorrow, in fact I can't wait until my lease is up so I can try a different color.

Being in the early 70's was looking for a sedan that is comfortable with enough room to fit a wheel chair in and does not look like every other medium sedan or small suv and does not break the bank. I researched everything from the Sonata, Camry, Accord to name a few. The Stinger caught my eye with the specs of cargo space that we really needed to fit a wheelchair in comfortably as well as having enough left over room to shop a big box store by folding the rear seats down. The ride, looks and power to get up and go is wonderful, let alone the price compared to a BMW or Audi. Do not ignore the great warranty you get. FYI I purchased this car sight unseen on the internet and could not be more pleased.

My 2019 Stinger Premium AWD is all some!!! I have owned an 11-15-16 Optimum 2.0 and the 2019 Kia stinger is by far the best yet!!! I would recommend this Kia to everyone. It has all the bells and whistle even a roll bar with an air bag in the roof; now who can beat that for SAFETY???

Best Grand Turismo for the money ever

Im normally a follow the herd type of guy when it comes to buying vehicles. I was coming out of a corvette so i wanted something sporty but did not want the back breaking drive of my current vehicle. Ive never had my head snap back with acceleration and be this comfortable. The first time I saw the stinger i thought it was the new Porsche Panamera. When i pulled over to take a look i was shocked that it was a Stinger. Next day i went to the the dealer and test drove. I purchaed on the spot. Could not belive you can get this much tech, performance, and value in the 30k price range and still torch a mustang or camero all day. There is a youtube video of the stinger embarrassing a mustang that has mods and the performance package. That mustang GT is well over 50k.
