2022 Kia Stinger GT Quick Review // New Badge, Who Dis? 

On a cliffhanger, what did the uncle say the world wants to know now.

Lol

Lol

Ikr - I'm like WTH did the uncle say?? Dagnabit youtube, why did you start a commercial....oh....

Blessings Only by acknowledging that there is a God, can we hope to make sense of human existence, the world we inhabit, and, paradoxically, the problem of evil. But if God is goodness personified and therefore, as our Creator, the divine source of all that is good, true and beautiful, why is there so much evil and suffering? What has gone wrong? The Christian answer to that question, the Bible says, is that our world has been damaged by rebellion against God. An originally good creation has been spoiled. If you find this hard to believe, consider the evidence. Look at all the many examples there are of benevolent and intricate design in Nature: the nest-building instincts of birds, the incredibly complex structure of the human brain, the navigational systems of bats and whales, the biological software of DNA in every cell of our bodies, sexual reproduction, etc. All this exists side by side with harmful viruses, disease and death. Can its obvious implications be ignored? Consider, too, the significance of the fact that human beings possess an inner moral code they cannot get rid of yet seem unable to obey. Does all this not suggest some process of deterioration from hopeful beginnings? Is it not also significant that many ancient peoples and cultures, including the Chinese, have some tradition of a lost Paradise in the dim and distant past?

Hahaha took me a moment

Nice one Ha Ha Ha

Beat me to it.

I think I double tapped over this

What do you mean?

A5 sportback/4 series gran coupe are the same

@@HeavyMetalorRockfan9 stinger is bigger a lot more room in backseat/cargo area then A5/S5 sportback or 440i gran coupe.

@@HeavyMetalorRockfan9 Not true, they are significantly smaller and have less space for childseats, Stinger is the size of much more expensive A7 / 8-series GC.

@@Mgoblagulkablong The Stinger fits somewhere between the A5 and A7, closer to the 5 than 7. I've never been in a 4 series, but the Stinger has a lot more rear room than the 3 series.

The Stingers backseat is mediocre for a large sedan...which I am play with because it is a hatch and a coupe

@@arrogen2831 who’s we? I don’t see you in this video.

@@arrogen2831 I believe Tony Alfano is trying to say that it’s impressive that a mainstream brand like Kia has made a car that is a legitimate competitor to BMWs and Mercedes

Nope. Not with this power and features and hatch.

well, it is priced similarly

Old man neck turn, he's no spring moose...

I totally understand the struggle myself.

The touch buttons on steering wheels and dashes is 100% accountants fault.

Yeah I'm so confused. What's going on?

Is this Doug Demuro?

I laughed lol

Honestly

Same hahaha

They completely missed the opportunity to say "I wanna feel you from the inside" before checking out the interior, though. smh

yuuup. Congrats. I still love my 2019. Crazy how much the Stinger Community upgrades to newer models on trade in haha. Perhaps the dealer will swing heavy at me with a deal on my next visit haha.

that fake engine/exhaust noise was a complete dealbreaker for me

@@sh0rtvix Then turn it off in the settings? Dealbreaker unbroken

Having to tear up my factory warranty to make it faster was the deal breaker for me...

@@juliush6904 don't ever use logic on the internet ever again

@@djzulumask2138 lol you can just unplug you jb4 simple

Yeah it's basically a smaller G80. Big boy

and yet mediocre rear seat room. i kinda dont get it but yea Id love one......realistically though I can probably only afford the K5 gt-line in awd......sad.

smaller than a TLX though and yet it has more trunks space...obviously, and even the Stingers back seat is larger. The TLX is massive for little space inside.

@@GoofieNewfie yea thats true they didnt even talk about the added value of the hatch.....another reason why you wouldnt go german.....an s5 or am s7 is waaaaay more expensove and thats the only true competitor to the turbo v6 stinger gt. An Arteon is too slow, so are the a7 and a5. Bmw stopped making the 4 series Gran Coupe.....a Regal GS? Lol no turbo.

@@Sahidable same size as the g70

Ditto. This obsession over 'tech' is turning into 'everything has to be a screen or it looks outdated'. Sorry, dials work, only certain things need to be a screen and frankly less is more.

@Clark Kyle Fair point lol

exactly!! the analog gauges are my personal preference, i really don't understand the appeal of having digital gauges

I prefer analog bushes. I'm mean really, you're driving.your eyes really should be spending most of the outside the car. Also there is a digital boost gauge you can display. I got the car because it drives like a sedan, but can pull when you need it to.

💯

@Yirlani what year?? Man, you have driven the hell out of that thing. 60k already?!

A car is only as reliable as its owner. Stop acting like German cars break down as soon as they leave the lot.

@@dalaanibombina8822 But they do

@@dalaanibombina8822 this is simply not true. German cars are surely a joy to drive but you’re delusional and uninformed if you think anyone who has an issue is simply failing at maintenance. Google “air oil separator BMW”. I remember taking my E46 in to have this issue repaired, the whole parking lot was filled with BMWs and mini coppers that got towed in with this problem. The reps told me it was like that every winter. BMW was never able to actually fix the problem. There’s a reason there are whole forums devoted to BMW repair and troubleshooting.

@@dalaanibombina8822 yes, they do! That's why JD Power stats show the true picture.

Do you still have it? Could you tell me how it holds up? I've got a '22 GT2 bought lightly used (9k miles) and I've got it up to just over 40k miles in a little over a year. Almost all highway miles

@@iplayCoDandBF yup, still have it. I’m at 150,000km now and all I’ve done are oil changes, spark plugs, brakes and fluids for transmission and diff. Also did a full 2 step paint correction and ceramic coating on it myself so it basically looks brand new. Lol

Lol that's terrible

Presumably used? How many km and price I’d you don’t mind.

@@MisterMister5893 yep it has 29,000 km and I paid 39k

@@dylandavies3634 that’s too much. I can guarantee you the person who traded it in got less than $30k. You shouldn’t have paid that much.

@@MisterMister5893 lol thanks for the advise chief, I'll keep that in mind for next time

@@MisterMister5893 the worst comment ever , was it suppose to make him feel better ? Thanks for nothing lol

That gives me hope I have a 2019 GT2 with 57k on it what work have you had done if you don't mind me asking? I've never seen one with that many miles

@@kyoakland I had done? Like modifications? Zero? As far as repairs, I’ve never done a major or minor repair. I had one ignition coil go bad at 50 K or something like that that’s it and I pull a trailer everywhere with it - not joking. If you look at what’s for sale on things like auto trader inserts by highest mileage first, there’s lots with 120 K plus mile. Mines probably the highest but still there’s some getting up there in our reliable. It’s an amazing car. 187k now…

I did all of the maintenance on my Optima. A couple of things went AFTER the warranty was up, and they still covered it. I also had the engine blow up, but that's another story.

I think the main oversight on the warranty is how hard it actually is to get a Kia dealership to honor it.

@@moloono1 "I think the main oversight on the warranty is how hard it actually is to get a Kia dealership to honor it." Speak for yourself. I did all of the maintenance on my Optima. The service rep told me if there were any issues and the warranty had just run out, that I should come by anyway. I DID have an issue, and they covered the work. I struggle with the idea that one person knows how an entire company operates. If you've got good data around this I'd be willing to look at it.

@@SamIAm-kz4hg Must be nice to have a dealership that actually cares. My family has been trying to get them to do anything for two vehicles. “I struggle with the idea that one person knows how an entire company operates.” I can say the same about you, buddy.

@@moloono1 "I can say the same about you, buddy." You'll notice that I never made that claim. You did. I simply told MY experience. Something you probably should have done instead of trying to generalize about a multinational corporation based on your personal experience.

me as wellll!!!

Correction "kieerrrr" or whatever James actually says with his Accent :)

@@23Piccolina isn’t change good? Wouldnt ppl say it’s outdated if they kept everything the same ? Ijs

@@23Piccolina if I remember correctly Ford did do a slight revision of their emblem a long time ago.

@@23Piccolina Toyota changed theirs awhile back, I think it's a smart move for KIA. They're making changes, showing the market that they're evolving.

The new badge is way too big

Should have changed it to Ky.

@Stig What

Absolutely!!!

Exactly

That’s the only advantage. Otherwise you’d be a fool to pick this over a German.

German cars are for status statements; problem is, more people without any status have them.

@@dalaanibombina8822 Lower price , better warranty and down the line 2-3 time cheaper to fix , when I hear people saying just for a routine maintenance they pay 1000-1500$ every year with german car no thank you.

That’s not a drive train warranty. Engine gearbox and transmission only 5 years, don’t be fooled

I have the previous model and like you, I absolutely love it. I do like the suede interior as it gives it a great sporty look. I had a Cerato GT and the red stitching on the seats really made the interior look great on that car. I have the black Night Sky edition with the light grey seats. Black piping and black GT badging on the seats would have really set it off. I wish they did a similar job on the Stinger. The one thing I would have loved is fog lights on the Stinger and a rear window wiper. That aside, I think the Stinger is the best value for money, bang for bucks car on the road at the moment. Cheers from Sydney

@Clark Kyle just say you’re broke and move on

@Clark Kyle Now that’s a stupid ass car

@Clark Kyle i dont own a kia nor do i want to but i do know they shit on any sti engine, enjoy your blown head gasket 😂

@Clark Kyle of course you disagree you own an sti

IS500 hopefully

If you find one for msrp now you’re lucky and there are almost no 3.3t left

@@sebastianromero420 fuck man I was even thinking about this thing but nah not until this overpriced bullshit is fixed

Tlx s got stung

When is the g70 refresh releasing?

@@cosmic_gate476 Not sure but definitely by fall this year.

@Stig why wouldn’t you? It’s objectively a great car for the money, especially when you compare it with the cars that it competes with. Practical, fun, great warranty etc… It’s probably only stupid to you because you don’t care enough to do any research whatsoever and prefer to buy old used cars cash? cheers 🍻 to your dreadfully boring outlook on cars😁 do us a favor and stay out of these car channels and post your negativity elsewhere

How many bots do they pay to come to comments? I think you’ve got a great car!

Absolutely, it's a GT car - stop telling me about its interior materials and it's touchscreen, take it for a long road trip through some twisties and compare how it handles the drive.

@@BrandoDrum Totally agree with your comment. Also tired of people complaining about a digital instrument panel. I keep looking at the road whilst driving and the instrument panel is fine as it is. The digital display as it stands is fine if I want to see information such as tyre pressure, fuel use etc. I have done a couple of long trips, Sydney - Melbourne, and through some twisty country roads and the drive is sensational. Grips the bends like a limpet and is an effortless drive on highways. A real grand tourer in every sense. I am a bit biased though as I love this car.

Fr I just got the 18 Stinger GT and I can’t believe people are that entitled to complain about screen on the gauges.

Could do but neither the stinger nor the new gen Germans have been out five years yet!

@@ExtraThrottleHouse Good point! Also, holy shit, a reply!
