My God, the Kia Stinger GT is like an actually attainable dream car! It looks absolutely insane, it is fast as crap, it handles great when driven as the GT car that it is, and it is so ridiculously practical with that hatch design and cargo/passenger capacity. If I had $50k right now I'd already be signing the paperwork at my local Kia dealership right now.

And rest assured that if, in the very unlikely event you experience problems with the car, you will be treated properly by Kia. I know from experience. Avoid the European junk like the plague. As they say in Oz and NZ: "Only Fools and Poms buy European brands". Check J D Powers surveys to see that the German brands are junk both in terms of product quality and customer aftercare.

I saw a Stinger GT in the wild for the first time this afternoon. It was a GT2 in Hi-Chroma red with black leather, the same color combination that you see in all the commercials and preview drives. This Stinger was parked on the street, so I was able to stand and view it from different angles for a few minutes. Such a striking and eye-catching design.

I bought my stinger GT1 3 weeks ago. I was cross shopping the BMW 4 series gran goupe along with the 3 series and Audi S4. What really won me over with the stinger was the warranty. And it's more spacious than all of those. The biggest downfall for the car to me is city fuel efficiency. If I drive it like I want it I'll easily see 14-16 MPG city. But highway I get about 27MPG. Not bad for the power you get. But city could be better. Loving it so far. I got the Pearl White.

Israr Kabir This is trying to be an "enthusiast" car. Does not make much sense to me when you can get an automatic G80 used with a V8 for 30k used CPO with less than 20k miles which is basically the same if not better than this car as a touring machine. The Stinger needs more than hype to get anyone to buy it.

@russelljambers7311 6 лет назад

@Stevethepirate8973 6 лет назад

It is an awesome car, but the article your referring to that was pushed out by Jalopnik from the original AU video is pretty misleading. Motor Trend and many other "car testing" channels and programs have had the GT run low 12s and the Stinger run mid 13's. Its all a matter of where your at, whos driving, and what the temp is. They are pretty close in quarter mile but honestly shouldn't really be compared at all. Someone interested in a Kia stinger wouldn't go oh the mustang GT is faster, then Ill get that or vice versa.

@josueacevedo5142 6 лет назад

Stevethepirate8973 agree, $10 the AU driver was holding back intentionally on the Mustang or just wasn't that great of a driver

@Stevethepirate8973 6 лет назад

Haha, it is possible. More likely the latter of the two. You have to think that the headline ALONE has brought a ton of views to them. Not knowing this channel I wouldn't want to accuse them of lying though.

@Stevethepirate8973 6 лет назад

Or as someone else mentioned for crashing after cars and coffee. Take it from a mustang owner, most mustang drivers are stupid irresponsible...

@chrishuber8930 6 лет назад

Stevethepirate8973 nah the stinger needs to be launched correctly. The DOHC engine means good top end but terrible low end torque. My friends stinger forst was 4.6 now broken in is 4.1 with the launch mode and mid 12s in the quarter. Plus with just a tune it adds 80 hp and 120 ft lbs. Thats 450 hp and 495 ft lbs with low 3 second 0-60s

@SatanAzerath 5 лет назад

I love this channel!! Dozens of channels out there that give all the specnical, detailed, useful information, but you guys give that much desired "useless" information...

First car I bought from a dealer was a Kia Spectra SX. Loved it so much, when I saw the Forte come out, I waited a few years and bought an SX Koup. A few years later (now), the Stinger comes out. Have a small family that's starting to grow, and the Koup isn't cutting it. Time for an upgrade!!! Hoping I'll be able to snag one used in a year or two for cheap... Worked with the Forte, but I doubt it with how much press this thing has gotten. Ugh!!! Why you gotta be so good, Kia!?!?? 😂😅😓😢😭😭😭😭

Was looking at a used bmw 4 Gran coupe... either 3 years old, less power and ugly color scheme, or 4 years old, less power, ok color scheme for around the same price. Or 6 year old audi A7 for a lower price. So... Nope. Kia... Brand new, the color i wanted, and warranty. Yay. Most annoying thing is that i can't use voice commands to change the radio when Android auto is on, but i think that's an Android auto problem.

I just bought a Kia Stinger GT black from Archer Kia here in Houston. The dealer was crappy but the car is worth it. I traded my 2016 VW Passat SEL. I considered waiting for the new VW Arteon but I've been yearning for a pure RWD GT that didn't cost damn near 6 figures. The Buick Regal GS was another vehicle I considered waiting on but it was just to feminine to me. The Buick would be a cute car for a mom but it's a little too soft for my taste. Now the car that almost won my heart was a 2016 Chevy SS black with red custom interior. However after driving them back to back the Kia just felt lighter and more agile. I love this car and I have no regrets. This is my first Korean vehicle so we shall see how this goes.

I found your channel while researching a replacement for my 2014 Taurus SHO. I cross shopped a Fusion Sport and a Regal GS, but neither of them were an upgrade … after watching many reviews (including yours) I got the US version of the car in this review except mine is blue with the all season tires. I love the car, and it definitely is my daily driver. Hard to replace a Taurus SHO for an enthusiast, but a Stinger GT2 AWD is a really fun and useful replacement in Minnesota … with better acceleration, handling, traction, control, winter driving characteristics, and features. My favorite part of daily driving it is the combination of the electronic parking brake, the electronic shifter, and the auto hold. I turn on the auto hold, os each time I arrive at my location, I just open the door and get out … it sets the parking brake and puts it in park. I love it. There’s so many thoughtful touches car, it makes any day I drive better, and makes every day one that I want to spend driving.

I went to see the Stinger when it arrived at the Kia dealership here in St. John's Newfoundland. For a while it was 1 of 1 on the island and very well still may be. I was mesmerized by the presence of the car, and the attention it received. It was 8:00 in the morning (my Rio was getting an oil change) and there must have been at least 8 or 9 people circling the car. I got the same feeling when looking at the Stinger that I received when I had the incredible opportunity to see the Lexus LC500 up close at the Lexus dealer in Barrie, Ontario last summer. Both these cars, are the underdogs in their segments. But because of that, they both seem that much more special. Good job Kia, and as always, great video guys! :)

They had to convince their significant other? I just showed my wife and said 4 doors 5 seats twin turbo. And got the go for it!

Just bought a 2020 Stinger GT1 AWD in HiChroma Red like the one in this video. I. Love. This. Car. Even though I own it, I have watched your videos about it too many times to count. Keep straight piping. Launch control!

I used your video along with the ones by Throttle House to assist me in my cross shopping for my new car. I had a 2011 Kia Optima SX Turbo. Loved it. I cross shopped the Acura TLX A-Spec, Lexus IS 350, BMW M440i,Genesis G-70. I bought the Kia Stinger GT Limited in Brampton. I shopped the car at multiple dealerships in the GTA. Thanks for your efforts guys, you helped make my decision. This car has better power than the Acura and Lexus. The BMW is twice the price and the G70 doesn't have the utility and is 8 grand more. It does have prepaid maintenance though. The Stinger is fast, comfortable, convenient, practical, good looking and fun at the best possible price. Also has the best warranty of any of the competitors. There is a reason you guys have done so many videos of this car. It's fun to drive!

I’ve got a stinger and it’s amazing so much fun to drive recently it was in the shop for 6 weeks and I got it back today and it felt like picking up my dog after not seeing him for a week I had a huge smile on my face

Your first review convinced me about this car. This is just icing on the cake. Oh, I like your idea of "groceries," too. Lulz.

@EddyJoe 6 лет назад

I test drove it and was seriously impressed. Just don't want to spend $40k US on it since it doesn't have a manual. I'd rather get some if else right now with a stick and get this a few years down the line.

@DaveYeo 6 лет назад

Great video.....we just got the Stinger launched in our country and what a launch it was. the 2 variants that came in were the 2.0 GT line and the 3.3 GTS....rave reviews from the press and can't wait to get my hands on one.

Perfect reviewing duo, subbed - genuine humor and honest feedback

@NDIDA12 6 лет назад

You guys are literally making me want to buy this car. Cheaper than a C43 AMG which I am looking at too.

"What's the worst thing that can happen with a map?" "Uuuuuh... You can have Apple CarPlay." 😂😂😂 Great video guys, though I'm a little cautious when it comes to walking into a Kia dealership.

@invisiblekid99 4 года назад

two weeks into mine and I cant tell you a single best thing either. The best I can do is the smile I get every time I give here a look back after I got out and the smile every time I come back to her. Love, love, love this car. Love that it's different, so, so comfortable, the cocooned driving position, the speed, the Harmon Kardon system, the head-up display, and the "on the move" rear camera.....though granted you need it. Don't likes? In the UK, the fuel this thing needs gets pricey. But that's helped by the fact I've given beer to help loose the beer gut, arms, legs, face, ass.

@scullystie4389 4 года назад

I bought one of these before I saw your video but I have to agree that this is the BEST daily driver I have ever owned by far! The technology and power of the fully loaded GT2 (or GT Limited I guess for you Canucks) cannot be beaten for this price point. I LOVE THIS CAR!

These guys are the perfect married couple. J/K 😁 Love your reviews. You bounce off each other seamlessly. It almost like I'm watching a car review sitcom.

@FrankMD11 6 лет назад

Awesome review guys! I'm a car nut like you guys!

@langleyfilmltd 6 лет назад

I love my Stinger!! Had it on pre-order and aquired it Dec 23 2017. Phenomenal car, people turn heads all the time. Totally the best daily driver for price / performance / luxury status. Does not need a manual trans to be fun, it's a bit large for a manual I think. Not THAT kind of sport car, but looks sporty and has class.

@robertk8524 5 лет назад

I am buying a brand new 2018 Stinger GT now... so happy to hear I have made the right the choice.

@TheStraightPipes 5 лет назад

What colour though

@robertk8524 5 лет назад

@@TheStraightPipes I am getting the aurora black with gold trim on black leather. Blacked-out. Excited as I have watched MANY videos and all reviewers love it. Plus it won mid-size car of the year in Canada. Can't go wrong choosing a Stringer! You guys are great reviewers btw! You and Doug Demuro are great.

Got my GT2 and love everything about it. We don't get the 360 camera or wireless charging in the states and we pay more. Got to love that 🤣

@therandomvideosguy2678 6 лет назад

StingerGTandMe so no 360 camera or wireless charger in US???

@MegaTechpc 6 лет назад

Why does Kia hate the US so much??? I would imagine the US is a far more important market for Kia than Canada could ever be.

@ChrisLorenzen 6 лет назад

Love it! Great video, guys! I'm a little bit scared of the Kia buying experience in the US, but your videos give me hope! :)

@mateenolafemi8327 5 лет назад

I love driving! I got a Ghost Grey Stinger after I saw this video. Getting a Kia Stinger GT was a mental decision for me. So, now I have a car that gives me all I need when I go on a drive to reorientate myself. It's perfect! I'll be keeping it for a long-long time!
