Once every now and then, some car manufacturers bring a new car to the table that surprises everyone. The kind of car that makes you look over at your buddy and say, " That's a KIA?" Well, that's exactly what happened only a few years ago when KIA Motors decided they wanted to dip their toes in the same water as some of the leading car manufacturers around the world. They even hired the former VP of Engineering from BMW's M Division to help bring the car to life. Ladies and gentlemen today Alex is here to talk about what it might be like to own a Kia Stinger!

People that buy a Stinger know exactly what they’re buying and that’s what I think makes it so special. Nobody is accidentally buying a Stinger

[gummipk]

I drive a stinger and i hear all the time “what is that” “that’s a kia?!” love it

[bacvain]

The stinger is one of the most underrated sports car out there. They are incredible machines that Kia isn’t get much recognition for!!!

[plc_memes]

I have almost 50, 000 miles on mine now and I've loved every single one of them.

[jordanrietto]

I NEVER thought I’d see this car on this channel, I’m pleasantly surprised lol

Alex: EVERYTHING IS ANGRY

Mazda: :)

[TheGodMob]

Alex: "The KIA isn't that good looking."
The people I've met and me: "Yo, the Stinger looks sick."

[Focalpoint]

Over 102k miles on it, had to change my brakes and rotors once. The most I had to spend on the car was tires which has been 5 times since 2018 other than that I had 0 issues with anything.

As a Kia salesman the stinger is easily one of my favorite sports cars on the market

*The only Kia I ever want in my driveway.*
(next to the K5 GT)

How about this since it’s not really covered by anyone: So you want a salvage/branded title car

Brake vibration is a USDM brake pad issue. Allegedly the formulation is low dust and low noise. Regardless, it FAILS when pushed hard with an inability to handle high heat, causing the pads to leave deposits on the rotors, causing pedal vibration. Kia Service Centers have been replacing rotors for customers but this process starts all over again because the issue isn't with the rotors... it's the US spec pads. So either install OE Euro-Spec pads ( P/N's: 58101J5A55 front, 58302J5A55 rear) or quality aftermarket ones. Only then is the problem solved. And btw, that's my red Stinger, K-ZILLA plates, in those Thatdudeinblue shots.

I have 2022 GT2 Scorpion, got cold air intakes and Borla exhaust, carbon fiber rear window and rear windshield louvers. These cars fucking rip man. I can easily keep up with Mustang 5.0s, Scats, even can hang with the SRTs for a bit. This car turns heads daily, and I get so many compliments. Best fucking car I've ever owned. Idc if I own a Lambo someday, the Stinger will still be my favorite.

[theenthusiast]

always turns my head seeing one of these! theyre just different, almost exotic-looking

I’ve got a 2019 Stinger GTS (the bright orange enthusiast version). 100% RWD. Absolutely love it. Every single day someone asks me about it. I’ve already gone through one set of Michelin Pilot Sport rear tires at 17, 000 miles. Which means the fun factor is pretty high!

[Aarvix]

As an owner of a 2019 GT2, I'd say this is a pretty fair review.
The rotor problem is actually due to the OEM brake pads, and the issue can be resolved aftermarket pads.
The trunk rattle is fixed with a $2 bag of washers from Home Depot.
The interior squawks are fair, but it's not like the Germans use real metal in their sub-50K car interiors either, so I call it a wash.
Mine has held up quite well for the past 40K. I'll drop a pic on your gallery, I'm on 20" Vertini RFS 1.8's.

"More warnings and systems than tutorial island" homie dropping the RuneScape references like we didn't notice

[jacobsannicolas]

So you want a Chrysler Crossfire?
Me: *trying to persuade myself to like the car*

[TellurdogIsayhi]

I love kia for making an AWD version of this car! I live on the east coast where it snows a lot, there’s no way I’d ever buy a non 4wd/awd vehicle. The stinger looks sexy AF too.

[TexasHArdHitta]

I own a stinger and I can say that its one of the best cars I've ever drove.
