The Kia Stinger is such an underrated and overlooked car and mainly because of badge snobs. I fell in love with the Stinger at first sight, spent 2 months researching and comparing, test driving and now I can say I'm a fulfilled man. I love my Kia Stinger GT Limited.

I got Stinger GT2 RWD for my 40th birthday last year. Little to no complaints 12 months in. The power to surprise indeed.

Two years into owning my Stinger GT2, no regrets. It has been a fantastic car.

I was supposed to sign the papers on a 2020 Stinger GT2 on Thursday. Got to the dealership and they were closing because someone who had been in that day called to tell them they'd tested positive for Covid-19. They let me take it home as a loaner with the intention of finishing the deal today. But they didn't open back up today, so the plan is to do it on Monday now. I'm in the weird limbo of driving around in my new car, but it's not actually mine yet. I absolutely love it. It's Ceramic Silver with the red leather interior.

I really love that you all are not badge snobs and just review the cars for what they are and how they feel.

Let's be honest, most of us clicked on the video for the Stinger not the unremarkable BMW

I’ll take the Stinger all day. Previous gen 3/4 Series really didn’t do it for me, and brand prestige doesn’t mean jack shit to me. You get more car with the Stinger for similar money and likely better reliability. Kudos to you guys for keeping things purely objective and reviewing the cars, not the brands.

Sold my Audi S5 for a Kia Stinger GT. This is an awesome car, don't be fooled by the badge. BTW, great comparison review. Finally, someone did this right without bias and brand snobbery or comparing it to cars that are in completely different price range, although the Stinger can hold its own with cars that are 15K - 20K USD higher.

KIA Stinger has aluminum inter cooler charge pipes with a rubberized coating for heat and sound insulation. BMW uses plastic charge pipes.

Edit: Just to be clear, I like BMW's and used to own a 2013 335i xDrive. The Stinger is just an amazing car in everyway. Put a BMW batch on it and people would think it was the nicest BMW they have ever seen/driven.

I'm a BMW fan but the Kia sounds pretty good ...and it's more rare to see a Stinger than a 4 series !! Ty for the vid....

[teebird]

Simply put...i'm not trying to impress the neighbors..i'd go Kia..it is better looking..and while the quality of materials may be a small step down from the BMW...the Kia will spend less time in the shop and will most likely retain more resale..BMW's as with most German cars not called Porsche plummet .

As a Pearl Snow White Stinger GT AWD owner I appreciate a channel focusing on the actually vehicle instead of a badge.

[shanepritchard]

My last 3 cars were BMW's, last one an M240i, traded it on a Stinger and I'm loving it

[staticunion]

That bmw probably broke down after the shoot

[timw]

I own a GT1 Stinger because it excelled with features, performance, looks, and warranty. It competes well from A5 to Scatpack

[signdeals]

Nice content! Drives me friggin crazy that a guy can slime his lambo or act like a fool and get 2.2million subscribers and these two professionals put out tv quality content and the subscriber count rises at a much slower pace.

Great review and comparison. I had a similar choice and picked the Kia just over 2 years ago. I haven’t ever regretted the decision. It really is that good. It also turns more heads than any cat I’ve had since the E46 M3. I love that it’s not a BMW or Audi. Add to that it’s one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned, has an insanely good warranty, and is going for a steal.

[AfrikanLifestyle]

I have 2019 Stinger...Absolutely impressed...

[davidmcc]

SOLD! Looks like I am buying a Stinger GT.

[guizarbg]

Way to go Kia! Great honest review guys! Stinger is expected to get even more power and tech soon and with 10 years warranty and better reliability for the brand it makes it even a better buy with tons of value.
