Good Looks ... Bad Quality

I like the styling. The HP is nice and it does move. However, up to the Kia brand standards. The quality of the build is not there. Cruise control has a "jerky" sensation. It is NOT the cruise radar as I have had it in to review a few times. Kia engineers state this is " normal" Rear hatch rattles. Sunroof rattles. There was a loose bolt found in the passenger side rear door as there was a nasty rattle coming from the panel. There is a "chirping" sound everytime I turn off the vehicle. Kia engineers state this is normal. It is the throttle body scraping the intake as it turns off. Again styling is good. The car does look good. But beauty is only skin deep. Under everything it is a KIA. And Kia has had quality issues. I am stuck with the car for a good year or two until I can remove some of the negative equity. Kia does NOT hold it's value. Will not ever purchase a Kia product again.

It’s fast, classy, full of bells & whistles &, with the engine sound enhanced in the canin, it sounds MEAN.

Can get over 20 mpg if babied in Eco mode... But what is the fun in that, throw it in Sport Mode and have some fun. Would have liked remote start standard in this trim level since it is 2020 and spending that much on a car, looks like you can get that feature from their app, for a $300 dollar yearly fee...

After many hours of research into purchasing a 4 door AWD sport sedan , it became evident that KIA has alot to offer. The German sedans have Ruled for decades in this category and we still love them , but they also still ride their higher pricing on the German engineering quality that has always been there and still is. Today Korea is producing equal quality cars at lower cost ( how ? , I'm not quite sure ) Maybe lower labour costs. However they do it, doesn't matter to me As long as it costs me less for equal quality Loving my new ride !

Love the car, but the Dealer Experience is still lousy!!!!!!!!! Kia wants you to believe it's moving upmarket-------- but the dealer experience is sorely wanting and hasn't changed . Dealing with Kia over warrantee repairs is a real pain they're plodding watching every nickel instead of treating the customer right. It's a shame--- the Stinger is a great car. The only real problem I have had with the car is an inability to use my Google Pixel 7 phone with Android Auto. KIA claims its a problem with my phone which makes no sense as Google would insure compatibility with their own Android Products. Also the UBS A port doesn't always work. KIA has replaced the port, wiring harness and stereo under warrantee and it still doesn't work. Their attitude is bad and they have washed their hands with my problem. I can't find another car for the money that does what the Stinger does performance and comfort wise. Too bad it's been discontinued, used Stingers are very desirable!!!!!
