I love the car and it's very fast, which I also love. However, I don't like where some of the controls are located and the ride is rather rough, even for this type of car. I wish it had a CD player option. Overall I'm happy with my purchase

Don’t like how it handles. Hard to brake as well. Good looking car though.

Biggest regret of all my purchases, ever

First off, I love the way the car looks. That's where it ends. I thought buying the peppy 2.0t would keep me happy, but coming from a 500+ hp V8, I was very wrong. I have given it a chance, and even used a tuner to squeeze out another 60hp, and it's still a slug. The turbo lag is atrocious. The low end is non-existent. It handles like a big V8 (same weight as my Challenger, or close), which is a shame. The transmission is really good, I will say that much. The interior is pretty good, though some things are further away from the driver's reach than they should be. Rear visibility is non-existent. Rear legroom is adequate if you have younger kids in the back, but not for adults. No remote start without buying the OEM part that comes on literally every other country's version of the Stinger is a big disappointment. If I wasn't upside down, I would immediately trade it in. It is sucking the life out of me.
