    Hi Sarah! I really liked this review; it was lively, informative, and at no point did I find myself wanting information that wasn't presented here. I really liked the fact that this was a base model, while every other review was about the higher end models. I was appreciative of the shots of the engine bay; I always look at these things as if I needed to work on them, and the engine bay of this model looked surprisingly easy to work with. Well done, Sarah! :)

    I've noticed in almost all reviews of Kia vehicles, after every accolade of praise, the sentence is qualified by "for a Kia". In 2010 I purchased a 2011 Kia Sorento assembled in West Point, GA. After 8 years and 80k miles, I have paid out of pocket for normal routine maintenance and one battery. That's all! Not too bad,.. for a Kia.

    • @theodorekell
      @theodorekell 5 років тому +3

      Yea, but you drove 8 years in Sorento. Lets say I do few repairs in Mustang. But at least, every drive is a thrill.

    • @denisep1026

      theodorekell I'll take the KIA thank u. Had a Mustang GT, it ended being the biggest mistake in my life as far as vehicle purchase. Bought a Genesis Cp Rspec V6 after getting rid of that Ford POS, and it's a much better car. Now I'm the proud owner of a Stinger GT and I'm loving it.

    Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing every feature one can throw into a car, but sometimes I like knowing what the base model has and how it is. Most likely I'm going to get something in between, but it's nice to know what "in between" actually is.
    Great review. I look forward to more base model reviews from you!

    Discovered and fell in love with the Stinger a while ago, but have never seen anyone cover the base models. I want one, but the GT is a little pricey. Now, I know that the 2L Turbo is just fine, it's not as beefy as it's big brother, but still a quick, reliable car, with good handling and style that deserves that sport luxury name.
    The wife and I have a short list of cars to replace our current ride (Nora), some are Lottery cars, some are regular cars, and the Stinger was in a limbo state because of it's similarity to the G70 (my lotto car, I just love those). With this review, it is absolutely back on the list, sitting at the top of the regular car choices.

    • @modmatt1

      @theokalentzis7424 5 років тому +9

      There was a time a while back when Audis were viewed as being "not very good". This was likely due to the problems with unintended acceleration and also the fact that the electronics weren't very reliable back in the day. Things have changed significantly for Audi and over time I think the same will happen with Kia (or they will re-brand to lose the stigma associated with their name). Also, think of Genesis (which is a re-branded Hyundai) and you see essentially the same vehicles under a different brand. Personally I love the G70 and I think the Koreans will make serious inroads into many markets with this level of quality and refinement. Also, GREAT REVIEW Sarah!

    Sarah, weird is good. Was waiting to watch you give it "The Beans". But since that is from that channel with the weird person working on cars, maybe you should give it a "Decaf, Caffeinated" ranking. I would like to get the performance numbers, 0-60, number of grocery bags fit in trunk, and date potential (is it a Manly man car, or a chick mobile). Great review. Love your nails -- I think that color would be great on an Audi TT. Too bad you don't have one :-)
