@@kyoakland same, I was thinking bout the 22 and up just cause of remote start, then I realized I’ll just get a after market and keep the looks from before
I have a 2019 2.0t premium(loaded)…would like a little more power, such as the 2.5t, but even so, it still handles great and is pretty punchy. I just don’t love the turbo lag.
@seal4ever778 I had a 2018 2.0 premium but traded up for a 2022 GTline 2.5. I don't regret the change at all. I do miss a few of the premium creature features, but the new sound system and engine upgrade was worth it.
The loyal brand fanboys, badge fanboys and those who still think kia is the same as it was decades ago and will blow up are the ones who killed this beautiful car. I can't count how many times so many clowns in the forums without ever driving this vehicle was shitting on it. Just sad world we live in.
Great video…I’ve got same 22 Stinger scorpion with same color only red interior…traded in my Audi S4 awhile back…I couldn’t believe how good Stinger were till I test drove one…people are really sleeping on those.
@@the_chooches I believe it’s a good alternative if the badge doesn’t bother you…excellent interior and exterior, handling and price and also 10 year warranty…not to many brands out there that offer that in one package.
This is not a car, it is a jewel that you use, care for and keep with you...🤙 How could Kia discontinue a masterpiece like this...😏 Without a doubt, it had or has the best value for money...👏
@@raiderreppin4life53 i’m not joking. Why would you be worried about anything? What evidence have you had to make you think your in trouble? Is anything going wrong?
2018 GT1 AWD with 69K miles here, take it to the track 4-5 times a year in road course and drag strip and when im not doing that I’m beating the hell out of it everyday. Lap3 tune and all kinds of after market goodies under the hood.
wow, actually very well put together and informative video man! im from WI too, once i get my 2016 Jaguar F-Type R out in spring, ill let you do a video on it if you want
Slap a Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, and or Audi badge on it people would have been all over it. It's under appreciated because it has the KIA Badge, and everyone associates them with all their bad built cars of the past from KIA/Hyundai/Genesis. Korean cars will always have a bad image no matter how COOL the car is and how GOOD the performance is people will always live in the early 2000s and refuse to admit that Koreans are definitely a competitor in the car market now. They still have a long journey but they are slowly climbing up, they aren't quite there yet but eventually they will make a pretty damn solid ground within the car market and to car enthusiast. Still fun to say though "You got gapped by a KIA." it really triggers people haha.
It has been a while since I drove one & I forgot how fun they are! This one also has about 20k miles on it & no issues are reported by the owner. Glad to hear you still like yours!
Car enthusiasts didn't buy this car because it's a KIA and has the KIA badge on it. It's as simple as that. I test, drive one not too long ago and sure, it has nice get up and go, but for basically $60k? Nah man, you're absolutely nuts. That's luxury car money and you can get way nicer and luxurious cars for that money. I went with it's more refined brother and bought a G70. Way nicer for the money and much more evolved, comfortable, quiet, etc.
Ah, 32 ain't bad but premium would kinda hurt. I have a 40 mile commute so I think I'm gonna stick to my Nissan lol. Awesome car and cool video though! @@the_chooches
For the 3.3TT, the best highway milage I have gotten is around 27-28 mpg (usually though I get less on the highway). In town here in Los Angeles though the gas milage I get isn't great. Somewhere between 10.5-13.5 mpg. If there is less stop-and-go traffic in town I can do 14-16 mpg.
@@mariomario1462 bro it may be engineered by a former BMW engineer but it’s still a Kia. The car is a grocery getter that’s overpriced. Underpowered and yeah it may have decent capabilities but so does a a variety of cars for way cheaper.
