Chris Atkinson loves driving cars at the track, but loves them even more when they're turbocharged rear-wheel drive sedans! Chris gets behind the wheel of the 2021 Kia Stinger GT to set a lap time at the track and figure out whether the Stinger is as quick in a straight line as it is around a track.

Nice to see someone actually drive it! I had to address the suspension and brake pads in the US but now it is much better imo. I upped the boost a few pounds and gives me more of what I like and I have the AWD so I can't drift quite like you but more like power slides I call them. Everything you say is spot on and I love how it is not just the same boring drive/review! Nice Job. I think with the extra 100 ft lbs and 100 hp you get with a piggy back you would easily break 1 min and beat the RCF

Excellent video. Bit surprised at the 0-100 time. There are several videos where chaps in stock Stingers have done it in 4.2 - 4.3 seconds. That aside, the Stinger is a fantastic car on long trips and the driving experience is wonderful. Unfortunately for those of us that have Stingers, we may not be able to get them on a track to get full enjoyment out of them. Still loving mine after 1 year of owning one.

I'm really glad I bought my Stinger in 2018. It's very hard to fault at the price but it really doesn't appeal to the romantics that love pedigree, history and badges. I'm okay with that. EDIT: I really didn't like the Contisport tyres that it came with but now that I've got Pilot Sport 4S it feels premium in the corners.

@@malsmith2012 I couldn't agree more Mal. I too have a back issue and that is why I got rid of my brilliant Mazda MX 5 a few years ago. Brilliant car but very difficult to get in and out o, especially at shopping centre car spaces. The standard equipment is amazing and the new model has some nice improvements over last years model which I have. I have adjusted the driving seat to my setting and it is so easy to get in and out of it. Fantastic on a long trip as it is so comfortable. Value for money, bang for bucks, it is unbeatable in my opinion. The quality of the fittings is also superb. Nappa leather as standard. You pay a premium for that along with a 15 speaker Harmon Kardon sound system and active LED headlights, auto cruise control etc. etc. I bought the Black Night Sky edition last year and it has the light grey interior. It looks classy yet sporty. I almost bought a white one with the red interior as that looked great. The Black with red interior is also stunning. Pity we don't get the suede edition like they do in Canada. That has a stunning interior. Now if they ever bring out the Scorpion edition to Oz, I would be seriously tempted to trade mine in for one of those.

It's a really great car. i think those that bash it haven't driven it - or may not know how to drive it fast.

@@CarExpertAus I know 😉 it is a great daily driver too. I just wish it had liiiiitle bit better petrol consumption. Heaps of people hate it because it isn't a V8 or they just hate Kia in general or simply just love those German cars where you pay for each option extra 😉

It doesn't in Australia. Any german car with similar specs and/or performance is close to double the price here. Americans shit on it since it isnt priced as well and it's much closer in price to it's euro counterparts.

@@yanni6969 Yeah nah it gets plenty of hate in Australia because for some reason paying $60k for a Sorento or a Carnival is perfectly okay, but when it's a RWD sporty lift back suddenly $60k is too expensive for something with a Kia badge on it.

@@elrebelde4610 Totally agree about the daily drive. It wasn't too bad on a Sydney to Melbourne drive recently in terms of fuel consumption. I did a cost exercise before buying my Stinger and the equivalent specced German cars were almost twice as much as the Stinger. That is a lot to pay for a badge and badge snobbery. If the Stinger had a Ford or Holden badge on it, they would sell like hotcakes. I get amazed at how many people ask me about my Stinger when they realise it is a Kia and not a German brand. I had a Cerato GT and that too was a fantastic car for its class. Would happily have another one.

Stinger looks way too heavy for the application. It doesn't seem to know what it really is. It's like a modern Mitsubishi Galant VR-4.

Totally agree Tom. Brilliant package for the money. This is like a similar analogy to those who would only drink Bollinger or Dom Perignon and nothing else. Great stuff but there are other champagnes that are as good or better for half the price. We tasted several different brands in the Champagne region which people have never heard of. Marketing rules some people's lives.

This is cool. Great to see the Stinger where it belongs. I only ever see boomers dawdling in them like they can't get a Calais V8 so they bought this. Awesome vid guys.

@stephenluxa1923
@stephenluxa1923 3 года назад
Unfortunately one has to keep to the speed limits on the road so it does look like dawdling. It is frustrating as the car wants to go but Plod doesn't like you going over the speed limit. I have tested it on an open country road and it is amazing how fast these are when you accelerate hard. Frightening actually.

Brand name doesn't mean it should be cheaper than what it actually costs. The Stinger has dynamic bending headlights which are expensive.

The only thing missing is someone either in front or at the back of the Stinger- preferably with guns shooting through the open windows....and a few pedestrians jumping out of the way- perfect thriller car chase LOL Another idea- get the police sirens in the background - even more exciting. Talking about the police, try this on any NSW/Qld /Vic roads and you will have the entire police force and transport Ministers die from heart attack.

Drive a Stinger in NSW or Victoria and the police will ensure you get a good look from them. I have experienced it many times driving mine. A bit when the WRX first came out.
