#Kia #Stinger #gt2
Great video Q ❤❤❤❤ Come see me at Golling Kia.
Thanks a lot Mike! I appreciate the opportunity once again!
The Stinger GT AWD is firmly on my one car that does everything and you will ever need list. Performance/Luxury/Versatility and Style, despite being on the market for 5 years.
This is a great car. Back in 2020 I went between this and a Buick Regal GS. That’s another underrated sports sedan
I really love the exterior design of the Regal. The GS with that sweet V6 is highly underrated. Marketing failed that car. 🤷♂️
I was a huge fan of the Regal GS. I was excited that they put the V6 in it. And then they killed it off. What a shame. It used to win car of the year in Europe.
Looking into this car, its like a hidden gem almost. Great review man!
Thanks a lot.
You definitely spoke facts. I had a 2019 with CAI, and JB4. Loved it. The build quality of the chassis is better than most cars.
Glad you got a chance to review! I have this exact same car, just in a different color. I absolutely love it. My biggest criticism is the exhaust is too quiet! Right now their aren't many aftermarket exhausts that take advantage of the valve function that was added to 2022+ Stingers. MBRP has one, and Borla should be releasing one in the next 2 to 3 months.
I really like the car as a jack-of-all-trades vehicle. The liftback gives it enough storage to rival a small SUV. It has room in the back for adults, and plenty of tech/features.
Its definitely a heavy car and you can feel the body roll. However one of the most popular handling upgrades are thicker sway bars and they supposedly make a huge improvement. That's on my list as well.
Curious to hear your thoughts on comparing it to the TLX TYpe S you drove? I know the Type S is a better handling car for sure. Otherwise how do you feel about the interiors, power, or features, etc?
Those simple mods with work wonders on the Stinger. I like the space of the interior of the Stinger and the bolstering of the seats were excellent. I like how soft the TLX's seats were. The power felt extremely similar. I would need to hop in the TLX and drive them back to back. I feel the Stinger had better features too. I liked the cameras with the turn signals. The TLX was a little cramped in the inside but it sounded way better.
I have the car really love the car only complaint it's too low hit my head too many times
Great Video Que, I heard these Kia Stinger can move by a few people but not too many talk about these. I guess its the "See Ya In a Kia" thing which most car enthusiast think this is cheap. So far this is a good looking car.
Exactly! They swung for the fences with this one. I really like it
hopingi can get one this year, cause feel like people are missing out on this, it's such a good looking car
14:09 “forward collision warning let me know ‘aye man chill’…’daddy chill!’” I spat out my coffe a little big bruh to be honest I DIDNT expect that one 🤣🤣
LOL!
"Daddy chill.. "
"What the hell is even that 👴!!"
@@Mr505505 😆😆😆
They need better tires and better sway bars off the lot, especially for the awd models. I would have been so happy if this had gotten a 6 speed but the 8 is a solid transmission. I shopped mine with an s5 and with a m440 gc, and with the features this car was 90% of those cars at 75% the cost. Plus it’s larger so getting the baby seat in it was much easier.
I would have always been more interested in these stingers if they equipped a manual for the one time. It's a great looking KIA.
It's a very slept on car, I purchased one last month, it's the best of both worlds between practicality and performance. I've owned both an 18 Mustang GT Premium and an 19 IS 350 F Sport. The stinger is by far the best vehicle I've had.
That's a big statement. I see how you could feel that way. Its great at so many things
How about the 2.5 stinger?
In terms of comfy suspension for long trips, road noise, which of these three cars is best? From best to worst
@@Mr505505 Most comfortable suspension has to be the Lexus, followed by the stinger and then Mustang.
Lexus IS was a solid car cant complain much there, definitely more compact. Good for long trips if you have 2 adults and people under 6ft in the back. It was well insulated so didn’t hear much road noise to be honest. Technology inside was lacking. Premium Sound system was subpar (No CarPlay or android auto in my 2019?)
Stinger is more performance oriented, it’s a gas hog I’m averaging 15mpg city driving and about 23 mixed highway. Can fit 4 full grown adults comfortably, Suspension is jittery not sure how else to describe it. Road Noise minimal as well, well insulated as well. Has the best sound system and technology out of the three.
Mustang was definitely the most fun due to raw performance, I had the leather Recaros seats in mine so it wasn’t the most comfortable. Nothing else to say to be honest I had my fun with the Mustang, it was great the 3 years I owned it. Has the second best sound system the shaker sound was nice. Had basic tech, CarPlay was decent.
Great review thankyou
Thanks for watching
Sad it got discontinued they were in the right path with this car
I considered one of these 3 years back but the dealer experience sucked and for $53k I wasn't too impressed with the interior quality as many of the buttons were from lower end hyundai/kia models.
The car is definitely quick and does everything but it only does everything decently well. Like you said it's got some body roll as it doesn't hide it's weight all too well. I checked out a bmw m340i and audi s5 sportback and much preferred those cars in every way.
I’ve had a 2018 GT1 AWD for nearly 2 years. Had a Fiesta ST prior, needed something bigger/family oriented, AWD (northern climate), still fun to drive, and something that’s a looker while a bit different from the typical choices (Audi, BMW, etc.).
Re: Handling, definitely a big girl. I run Michelin PS4S in the summer, that squealing goes away. If you drive spiritedly they’re a must - brakes are as well, stock pads vibrate wayyy too much once they get hot. While she definitely rolls more than a sports car, lateral grip is quite good for 4000lbs. It’s got a bit more of a laid back personality than modern BMWs which I like. Those are WAY too stiff and artificial feeling, Stinger isnt so feelsome like a Lotus but feels natural overall to drive in a Grand Touring way. You aren’t buying a car like this to take to the track, realistically as a daily you’ll be around town, in the morning commute, and on interstate 90+ % of the time. It excells at that, and won’t fall apart on the backroads either (loves the big sweepers).
I drove it cross country and back across the northern US in winter. On snows, its terrific in the snow and everything you want, CUVs aint much better. It is a great size, swallows up way more gear than a typical sedan.
For ~$40K as a daily, I’d recommend 100%.
Whats the MPGs like on long trips and around town? I'm trying to convince my wife to get one so I can enjoy it too! Glad you're enjoying yours.
@@QueTheChaotic Long trips, 25-30 is doable. Seattle to Portland I’m usually at ~26. Around town 20 is impossible ;). Not great but may be a slight step up over Chevy SS or Lexus ISF.
You should see if your wife will tune it too. Thats my plan after warranty lapses a bit more, ~420WHP is very doable, these engines are understressed.
Shout out to Que forwarding my call about him getting an amazing deal on a new potential channel car mid video 😎 This car seems pretty luxurious and tech heavy, and also really quick too, it would be an amazing choice if it came with a manual gearbox.
Do not disturb while I'm working lol. I prefer this one over the Genesis.
@@QueTheChaotic Lol good times, I actually prefer the Genesis but this one is no slouch.
The Stinger is fantastic. I think that Hyundai/ Kia missed an opportunity by not adding a Turbo to their V8 in the Genesis, making it a true BMW killer halo car and thereby positioning the Stinger as the heir apparent to the Throne
‘18 Black GT1 RWD -❤
Heated seats in the back sounds awesome!
Yes ma'am!
Another sweet ride I would have purchased if built with a manual transmission.
They could even sell enough with the auto. Might as well have threw the manual in it.
I got 2022 gt2 stinger Rwd red seats
🔥🔥
Very professional review . I see your channel pivoting in the right direction with your honest assessment. Personally not a fan of Hyundai/KIA/Genesis as their engineers have historically seem to have major ***-envy for Audi. Lol. A few years ago I considered an Optima but after a weekend rental it felt like the engine was going to fall out...
Thanks a lot Mr. Dawg! That means a lot to me. They have a few cars I want to get my hands on. I really liked the Elantra and Veloster N
I had a GT1 rwd and loved it but sold it when the IS500 came out. Too many people dissed it cause "its a Kia" 🤷🏾♂️
This car was a beast. It sucks that it has the Kia stigma. The IS500 is even better. How are you liking it?
@@QueTheChaotic man, I'm loving the IS500!!! I wanted that V8 plus it's a sleeper.
The Stinger was so cool I wanted to get one for my wife but she wanted a Red Sport. Can't complain about that either 😊
What do you think about the 2.5 stinger?
I haven't driven one yet. I'll test one out if I can find one
@@QueTheChaotic I want you review the 2.5. It’s the base model. But I wanna if it’s still worth it
If u goin 4cyl i think g70 whould be a better option might as well go with luxury, the stinger looks too sporty to have a 2.5.
@@Mr505505 but what if I want the sporty look but with good milage and cheaper maintenance?
@@KobeMpthers i don't know about mileage on the 2.5, i have the 3.3tt stinger and it lasts me like 500km with city driving, if i had the option to choose from g70 2.5 and stinger 2.5 i would take the g70 atleast ill be getting luxury kinda sporty car, i feel like if i had the 2.5 stinger i'd regret not getting the 3.3tt because its more sporty than luxury
The charger, q50, 340/m340i really dominate the 40-50k mark.
I forgot about the Q50.
@@QueTheChaotic they're everywhere in miami tbh, but it's probably cause they don't hold value. 38k for a 400 rs with 3,500 miles seems like a steal.
@@ii_dynastyidk the stinger don't hold value worse than both of them and its so rare, i dont think thats a reason for q50 to be more popular in miami
@Mr505505 I can't think of anything else besides affordability for a decent luxury car. Especially when the majority can get their hands on it without a Hassel below msrp.
@Mr505505 and the stinger fights its own battle. Simply because it's a kia, most people tend to look or consider other options over it, especially the g70, which I would personally take instead of the stinger.
14:08 lmfao
LOL!
7th to comment!
Yeet!
I can’t believe they still sleeping on the stinger by the time people wake up it’s already too late
Yes

Nice review these engines are prone to fire
Thanks a lot. I haven't heard about that
The Stinger's V6 is not prone to fire. However some other Kia/Hyundai engines are.
Yeah certainly not any sort of widespread reporting of fires for the lambda II engine.
The Kia name killed this car. At the end of the day it's still a Kia and people remember what Kia used to be so they are not willing to pay that much money for a Kia. Genesis is a better move. Giving the more premium cars a completely different name brand works better
I agree with you. People haven’t forgotten at all

I could never take a Kia or Hyundai serious😂.
Why not?
@@QueTheChaotic I've worked at the Kia dealership as a technician and these are just dressed up shit boxes. Premature oil burning is just the beginning.... Koreans don't even drive kias, that should tell you something 😆
@@5HY_9UY_81 😆😆😆😆 point taken
Nice car, but definitely the wrong color. Looks like a bathtub on wheels
Lol! It's got a pearl flake to it
