@@Guest2022_ so I have to be fully transparent, the car is beautiful and drives the same, but it also comes with some common annoyances like rattles and squeaks. The dealers all seem to different from each other, for instance the first service was amazing no issues. But this second service at another location is a nightmare. Some people have no issues at all, but the quality could be better for the price point. Still an amazing car and value proposition IMO. Engine and drivetrain seem very solid which is why I’m here.

I’ve now owned my 2018 GT2 RWD for about 2.5 days and I’ll say this…. Coming from a 2010 Genesis coupe, the GT2 is a world of difference!!! I would highly recommend a stinger to anyone potentially in the market for a nice 4 door performance vehicle!

Hey, how do you think of the reliability of the stinger for long term ownership?

@twn2rbo 3 года назад

@@jerryqin4459 depends on if you modify it of course, power and drivetrain feel very strong in this car, even with the way I have it set up, it doesn’t struggle or act like I’m hurting it. If you keep it stock, I wouldn’t worry as it has a killer warranty. After 100k long term I’m not sure, it is a performance car so I would expect things to break. Kind of hard to answer this one honestly.

@@twn2rbo I’m afraid it’s a certainty my friend so enjoy yours. Last year I was set to purchase one of my own but last second went with a Challenger as I had always wanted one. With that said I was never more surprised and thrilled after a test drive then after my first drive in the Stinger. I always figured I’d circle back around to the Stinger but sadly I’ve missed my chance. It does live on in the Genesis G70 but nothing proves to me more that the car market is truly dead then the Stinger not selling. Very sad

@twn2rbo 2 года назад

Yeah anything is possible right now with the EV market taking massive strides. I was just offered 3k over sticker, which is a first in any car I’ve owned after 10k miles. If it does get axed maybe simple supply and demand will drive up the value. Who knows. Enjoy my follow gear head 👊👊

2020 gt1 rwd owner. Almost 20k miles. Its a great car. Its not perfect, but with a few bolt ons I am very happy. First thing I did was the eibach sway bars. The eibach sway bars are way stiffer and cleaned up the body roll and turn in is much sharper. I have a set of ark lowering springs. 1" drop, factory spring rates, so that should help settle a bit more. The brakes are kinda shit. Stop tech Pads fixed 90%, I have stop tech rotors on order. I did catback mbrp stainless exhaust which sounds good and is a lot more fun. The bms pedal tuner is the most recent add on, better throttle response in comfort mode. Coming from a bmw its not 100%. But considering the price of a comparable vehicles v6 panamara, 440i, a7 etc i don't mind ironing out a few bugs. The warranty doesn't hurt the price of kind either.

@twn2rbo 3 года назад

Nice build man! Agree , Ark makes great springs and I’ve been considering them as well. The wheel gap drives me crazy and needs dropped just a tad. Air bags would be cool too for the option to lift up when coming in steep driveways etc and ride quality

I had a 2020 GT... loved the way it looked and sure it was pretty good for straight line... but in the twists I didn't like it really. Brakes faded to quick and only 157ft 70 - 0... front rotors already warped on me after a few thousand miles. This car floats too much for my taste if I'm going to hit the canyons (yes even when i upgraded the sway bars) with it or abruptly change lanes... great for highway racing though to a point unless you wanna upgrade the entire turbo rig & meth injected. Rather a CTR which runs circles around this car in the canyons, and with a few simple mods can give it a challenge in a straight line... don't need all that heavy ass weight. :) If you plan on 'street racing' in hilly curvy areas (like SoCal) this wouldn't be my car of choice. Roll racing... i think you can do better with a Camaro 10A LT1... less money and better times all around not mention better braking and handling out of the box. Although not as upgradable as the Stinger in terms of HP/TRQ bang 4 buck.... TT vs. NA.

Then off to the carwash two guys there give me the Thumps up signal. Then off to gas station to fill her up, the guy at the next gas pump says, damn that's a nice car, then as I pull out of the gas station and stuck at a traffic light a man drives his truck up next to me rolls his window down and says I noticed your car, is a Maserari? I said it's a Kia and he couldn't believe it. He said the Maserati dealership is down the street and the Stinger looks like one. I was curious so I drove there and the Maserati salesmen comes out and says to me that's a great looking car. All this in the afternoon with my Stinger.

I have had my AWD Stinger--white 3.3TT just over a year nd not a hiccup.I also have rented Audis for business trips and the Stinger feels like an RS5 at 95%.BTW the AWD system in the Stinger is fantastic.It will rip a 4.2 to 60 at the public drag--and it will get you thru a blinding rainstorm without a hiccup.I even had to drive thru the remanants of one of the tropical storms--it had rained and was still raining after 24 hours--1 or more inch of standing water on the road and i was going the speed limit with no problem while others had hazards on and some were even pulled over.I am an ex muscle car owner that got tired of the reliability problems--dealer treatment--and my last car was a honda.Reliability became a priority after the joy of owning a Honda that never went into the shop--or to take it in for an oil change and they find 1k in shit/sensors etc wrong with it.These are fantastic cars for the money--and I also have folks compliment the car.Many on the stinger forum/clubs are also ex BMW M--MB--and Audi porsche owners that also got tired of money pits for cars.No car is fun if it is in the shop--or if when it goes to the dealer they find stuff wrong with it.

@@khronin couldn’t have said it better myself man, yeah the BMW and Audi look awesome, but they use a lot of plastic parts under the hood that break often and are ridiculous to have the dealer replace or fix them.

I will give them Germans credit for getting the most horsepower per liter and looks.

Yeah, unfortunately the rotors, hatch rattle, and squeak from the turbo throttle body are some common nuisances with these cars. However, those are minor issues in the large scope of value proposition for the Stinger. I haven’t had any issues with the rotors approaching 10k. The stinger weighs a lot and if going really fast and slamming brakes a lot, I can see faulty rotors becoming an issue. I’m just glad the power and drivetrain is solid with these cars and can take a lot of power!

I’m a Japanese car guy, but it seems like they are content selling profitable SUVs and hybrids, won’t invest in performance cars sadly.

@twn2rbo 3 года назад

Couldn’t agree more. Japanese cars in general (Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus) , ones I’ve owned and have experience with, are engineered for reliability first. My first car was a 95 civic ex 5 spd with a D16z engine and it was so bullet proof , I was so hard on that car it was insane and it never broke. That made me stick with Japanese cars all my life and Lexus being my pinnacle. I took a shot on this Kia bc of its killer warranty and rave reviews on the engine and drivetrain after modding it death, it seems to hold up well, I will keep all of you informed on what breaks or when it breaks. With my mods it will only be a matter of time, but I knew that going in. Appreciate the comment bro!

@forevr_8 3 года назад

Yes indeedy! It actually frustrates me; Lexus IS my favourite make and I want to own a Lexus, but can’t bc of bad infotainment, old technology and high prices, plus when I had my IS, the ventilated seats did not get cool enough vs Ford vehicles and our Stinger. The Stinger is better in every way. My dream attainable car is still the LC500 for that V8, but for now, it’s the Stinger, and I think it’s good for us cars guys that as we get more economically successful in life, to try diff car brands. I laugh and have a grudsging admiration for Toyota that they can still sell out 4Runners ever year even though it still has a 5 speed auto in 2022. 😂

@twn2rbo 3 года назад

@@forevr_8 I agree, Toyota needs to invest more in their design team, they seem to be 100% focused on reliability, which isn’t a bad thing, but car enthusiasts want more inside the cabin. They did make a bold move on the Lexus grills, but that was a decade ago now. They could be silent and release some sick EV cars, they do well with the hybrid tech but all the auto manufacturers are going to go where the market moves which looks like EV now. I’m sure they will provide some all new looks along with that. My dream Lexus IS the lFA v10 with the exhaust tuned by Yamaha piano Corp. one of the best sounding v10s I’ve ever heard. As my channel grows, I would love to set a goal for a Japanese twin turbo like the GT-R. Who knows.

Yeah it’s a minor gripe, tbh I’m so use to it now it’s second nature to just push that button when I put it in drive. I see why they do it, to save fuel etc. but when I let my foot off the brake and it starts back up, it can feel a little rough and I don’t like it personally. I know they beef up the starters and have it programmed to be close to top dead center, but I’m not convinced it’s not unnecessary wear and tear
