Hello everyone, thank you so much for checking out this long video. I added in the timestamps in the description for those of you who want to get to specific portions of the video. Mega thanks to Socals2kparts.com for squeezing us in for the lift during the busy times, be sure to check them out for any inquiries, for any S2000 parts, alignments or maintenance on any vehicles! Please leave me your comments on what you think about the newly added "tech" section. Any constructive feedback to improve the content is much appreciated! Thank you!
Hi Andy, I really appreciate your honest and objective reviews. The Stinger does have a nice overall design and red minimizes the odd taillight styling. Your exterior photography was on point! I wonder - as you point out - if some of the body and drivetrain issues were attributable to the condition of this example. But I appreciate that you had to rent it at your expense. I learned a lot from the tech inspection, particularly about the front suspension setup. A nice nod to SavageGeese. The audio was rather muffled even though I think you’re wearing a mic. I usually prefer the Germans but I would definitely consider a Genesis as they have been on a roll!
Great review , you discussed some good points about the car especially the fact its older at the time you reviewed it and that it has a few squeaks and rattles. All in all its still a great car.
Agreed. I really like it for it's unique character. Lot of its underpinnings are also very very European. It's just a killer bargain. Thank you for checking out the video.
The major deal-breaker for me is the quality of the interior. Creaks and rattle are unacceptable because they are easy to avoid and this car has some serious rivals. Do you think the newer models will have less issues?
I would hope so. To be honest I really think this one was just beaten to death as it is a rental, but in general it is an area Kia could improve for sure. Thanks for checking out the video!👍
Congratulations 👏🎉 honestly it's a rly good blend of value, performance, and great looks. Again the specific car I rented had some oil leak, but if you're buying new, Kia also has amazing warranty (and some used ones you can transfer the warranty over).

You can’t hold the LC for that long it bogs down. As soon as it activates u have to let go. Then it launches seamlessly and crazy fast.

Thank you for the feedback! Gotta get the audio figured out.. :( Hopefully the length of the video wasn't too long also.
REVlogue
I’m ok with the length as long as the content justifies it.
Thank you so much for your honest feedback as always!
Wow, great evaluation!
Thank you for checking out the video ☺️
@@REVlogue Can you please review more kia vehicles please? 😀
@@AIMLL I'm looking to do a Veloster N, not quite a Kia but a sister brand :)
@@REVlogue Great!

Love the horn test a la Demuro
Good video. Terrible audio.
Thank you for bearing with it.. will fix it soon.
@@REVlogue baby on the way. Currently driving a 2018 GTI. I think the Stinger GT2 RWD is going to be the car.

@@REVlogue I’ll lease a new one. I switch every couple of years.
Rent a car interior??? This car gets so much crap just because of the badge!
I'm from Seoul so I like the badge, but some interior quality I wish was better. Thanks for checking out the video!
