Thank you Kia for creating a driver’s car with damn good value. They are really living up to their slogan “the power to surprise.”
I've owned two BMW's and two Kia's
Kia has earn my respect!
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running 3 Honda Civic's with spoon engines. On top of that he just came into Harry's and ordered 3 t66 turbo's with NOS and a Motec System Exhaust.
🤣🤣
bahahhaa
😂😂😂
Lmao.. U quoted that perfectly..😂
Im impressed that kia/hyundai did something out of the ordinary like this. Even more impressive that they were able to execute it so well.
k flores Like Po
Joe Black haha good point, but i won't discredit them for that.
Joe Black ddd
money and prestige from WRC rallye (and inside it smells as a tipical VW )
I love this car. Kia is an amazing brand well worth the money. Can’t beat their prices compared to all others.
That orange stinger is calling my name, it looks so cool
YES. PLEASE MAKE ALL THE AFERMARKET PARTS THEYVE DONE TO THE SEMA CAR. THIS IS THE STINGER FOR MEEEEEEE
i want it in british racing green with the Scuderia Veloso racing stripes off centre.
may cost the same as a fully loaded 3 series but i dont give a fuck
this car fully loaded cost 10 k less than a fully loaded 3 series
might aswell use the savings to make the car look badass right? lol
Harvard Ford if I got it I'd like to see it with the new dark green that you can get on the 2018 dodge challenger and chargers. With 2 yellow racing stripes up the middle with yellow calipers to match. Looks nice in thought.
Dillon Hughes it sure does
If this had a manual my Chevy ss may get jealous.
I dunno, I'm a v8 guy. Mopar muscle for me personally, but that ss is fun as hell
These could end up being a cult classic a few generations down the line and it'll all have started with the CK Stinger. I want that orange one as it sits though
The Spotted Car agreed. That front splitter sets it off just right.
Yed, why the fuck does the gt2 not have the aero and exhaust package at least
Agreed
I can't imagine it'll hold it's value well at all. It's a good cheap GT but it's very expensive Kia, let's face it. Residual values are more about the image and desirability of a car than they are whether it's any good or not. Rubbish premium branded cars often keep their value, whereas good 'uncool' ones rarely do. On the flip side it could be a good thing for used buyers in two or three years for this!
Kia cult classic? 😂😂😂😂
anyone who hates on this car for the brand is a clueless troll. If this had a lexus logo, or a bmw logo, or an audi logo, all the fanboys would be tooting and posting on Instagram like they own the brand. Fact is, regardless of the brand, this is a PROPER car. Looks, price, tech, and numbers... there's only a few at this price point that can compete.
I can tell you 20 cars for cheaper that will run circles around this car
Proceed. Not trolling, genuinely interested.
But u forget kias are made from the absolute cheepest parts possible they are polished shit these days
Luke Duke ok name those cars then
A comment thread full of losers
I recently got my 2019 GT1 in RWD and it has exceeded my expectations. What a car! It does not need AWD but I can see where a case could be made for it in snowy areas.
A driver's car with 10yr warranty? Forget it, i'm in.
shin888 911
My dodge dart has 10 year extended warranty!!
Chris Rodriguez I hope you aren't comparing. Lol
shin888: didn’t finished watching the video but i don’t think it has 10 years warranty.
Solomon Bonds I'm not I'm just saying you can purchase it on all Chrysler dodge and jeep vehicles oh and fiat. But I have bumper to bumper warranty
I've got one of these :-) I've had many of 'The big 3' German cars, and this beats them hands down. The quality, finish, performance for the price is awesome. Mine is nearly 1 years old, and still no squeaks or rattles. Also, I've never had a car that draws so much attention... 'That is gorgeous, what is it?'..'A Kia' ' :-)
Wow, that orange looks fantastic!
Boyoung 최 I’m not much for orange tones, at all, but that color is primo
i love this car, can't wait to drive one and give Kia a chance. we need more brands in the enthusiast market
Enthusiasts market? This car decently optioned is 52K... I would rather get a used M3.
i don't buy new cars. incredibly stupid financially. used cars all the way
JKU lab
what
yea... buy used M3 and then you are gone on first maintenance service ;) no ones buy M3 to ride like a grandmother, so just come on...
They need to offer that SEMA version color and the body kit. My goodness that car looks gorgeous
no wonder when considering that they stole most of the design from BMW
i just bought a brand new 2019 twin turbo Kia Stinger GT1 after watching this video and i love it.
The KIA Stinger is very much underated. We have one as a shop car, and have been modifying it with huge success.
Kia needs to have that bright orange color available to order, it is so dang beautiful. Maybe even just in the GT2 at least. I do like the red, blue and grayish silver that is available to order, but that orange is on another level. I am glad to see a good looking 4 door sports sedan that is 35-50k range outside of the Dodge Charger.
You have a great way of explaining things. Everything just seems to flow perfectly when you talk! Awesome video and review!!!
I'm in love with that SEMA car! If I got a Stinger, I'd be spending my money to make it look just like that!
The orange one is kinda cool. As always, excellent work, M.
Hopefully
IceDree Q
IceDree
Very, but they're not offering it. I get the impression that was just ONE car built to SEMA specs -- and they called it Sunset Yellow! LoL. The so-called orange color woulda been my choice!
I would proudly drive this KIA with no shame!
Great exterior design, really nice interior, sporty wheels, solid engine, solid handling, solid transmission and plenty practical storage. Along with 10 years warranty and low maintenance cost. If anyone says "it's a great car, but it's still a Kia" congrats in advance for being a jackass. Side note that Grey exterior and red interior combo is the best IMO.
That’s the same combo I’m finna get on this car, it’s dope
I agree the car is beautifully designed. EXCEPT - that stupid wrap around light bar at the rear. It visually breaks the haunches of the rear end and it doesn't even match (color wise) the rest of the taillight. Perhaps I'm being too picky - I dunno - I do think the car is nice looking. When my Charger gets older - this might be my next car.
Frederick Miller yea I agree. I think it's one of those it'll grow on you things.
Ehh, so much other choices for the $$
It is cheesy looking though and Kia's do have their share of mechanical problems. Kias are not known for holding their value either or having a big resale market.
If I didn't get my Focus RS, I would have seriously considered this. It seems fantastic!
Wow. Really like this car. Keep up the awesome videos.
If this car has BMW logo, you folks might not complain....people, just think about the value of that car, not a brand! Also, the name of Kia has been improved with this Stinger and several other cars!! if you cannot believe check the j.d power
Konrad C: love your comment, spot on!
Murray Lee Wilson and clearly you have NEVER driven one. The fuck outta here, kia fuckboy
Ken W everyone is drooling over this turd and calling it a bmw killer. Well, the reality is the stinger is a heavy ass cow that wallows in corners, and bounces and squats all over. A bmw is like a surgical scalpel, the stinker is a butterknife. Speed is nothing without control
Konrad C lol have fun with that BMW breaking down everyday👍
Murray Lee Wilson Yet again, learn to spell. I am not reading your Aspergers babble
Best Stinger review. Best review period. My respect sir.
Great review. I want one!
My son just bought a base GT. Having owned a Supra as well as being apart of a large family, with people owning everything from vintage Vets to modern day Jags. I was honestly blown away by how well the guys from Audi and BMW did on this car. It feels fantastic and the power is just right. I'm not overly concerned he'll kill himself in it.
i bought GT1 45k with the safety option on and i love this car from the opening the door
tell the truth kia is getting there very fast to the level we never even imagined but Good job KIA
I am in LOVE with the orange SEMA Stinger :oooo
I thought the same thing when I bought the kia sportage with the Turbo fully stocked I've had a for 6 years now I've never had one problem with it 70000 miles later It's still runs like the day I bought it my friends the bought American cars have had a few issues with them one being the suspension had to be replaced batteries had to be replaced 100000 miles 10 year warranty you can't beat that I love driving this car do not sleep on kia they've come a long way I love this car
Stancenation will love this car.
Man O War
I'm not a fan of stance but I'll be fine with this because I really want to see this car succeed and not be resigned in a couple years to the "that didn't really work" rubbish bin.
The better this car does, the better the market becomes as a whole for car geeks.
what a beautiful car, i might actually buy this
YEEESSSSSS, I want the Stinger so much ♥♥♥♥♥
This video exceeded expectations
Mark Waggoner he said it as I read your comment whoa what the fuck
lol
What a great review! Lovely car, better start saving.
Love the reddish livery of the interior. Say what you want. Not the most usual combination in a good way. Dash board is also some of the best of modern cars to my eyes. Simple, yet not dull.
thanks! how as rear window visibility?
We have exceeded exceeded expectations
The car looks absolutely sick.
Just bought an 2017 optima .... i wish i woulda waited lol i love my optima but this beast is beautiful
The interior is definitely nice
James grant b
Mannnn I want one of these!
00 pl loo loo
That orange one is so fucking gorgeous. I would do anything to have it
go and rob an apple store then ;)
Put it in your mouth
Tiko Davenport anything!!! you say
that drag strip with the GTR is Music City RaceWay in Goodlettsville,TN local track
The vents on the top what are they for and the ones on the back
Im a little confused, is the otange stinger shown towards the end how the normal gt2 comes, or was that a gt 2 with a body kit, aftermarket exhaust and lowered?
The CK is an amazing piece of art
Are the muffler tips not attached to the muffler? I can see the ground at 6:30 in the video.
I have been stung by the stinger. I like it.
The orange looks AWSOME
Can't wait for it to hit the used market. Once that depreciation sets in and a 3 year old used GT becomes dirt cheap, i might actually consider it. It's a great car from what i can see
Love that bold orange paint job... wish it was a standard exterior color.
That orange ck is 🔥🔥🔥
Love this Gt .. dang..
That orange color is awesome !!!👍👍👍👍👍
How loud is it inside at 100kph, 130kph?
Where do I find the body kit and the borla exhaust???
When you called SUV"s baby buggies
I was cured and have new appreciation for sedans and coupes. Thank you. I also thimk 100 thousand mile warranties are the best tech advancement/feature.
That Orange Stinger is really nice man. Not bad Kia not bad!
I would love to have one of these. I've owned several Porsche 911s ,BMW M series, and a few C5 and C6 Corvettes. Out of all the high end sports cars I've owned and driven, I have to say the 2014 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, with a 2.0 Turbo, has to be the most fun and nimble of all. I suspect this car is going to be very similar, in all of its characters. I'll most likely wait until the 2020 or 2021 model. It never fails that after a couple years they drastically increase the power, and work many of the bugs out.
Never thought I'd want a Kia
So how does this care compare to the hyundai genesis g80 sport 3.3 tt v6?
i just reviewed one on my channel love it or hate it the car is good and really impressed me all around. will it sell? who knows
what was the warning tones for, @ 2:50 & 4:16 etc when he's driving in the curves ?
Lane Departure Warning System
Exceeding Expectations
Lelouch Alzahrani It has a pathetic radio that’s smaller than an explosive Note 7 and slower than a Charger. Korea should stick to televisions.
Sergio Patel jealous indian street shitter
v231 xx Still have enough pride than to drive a Kia!!! Kia is for people poorer than ones whom defecate within the streets of third world countries.
Nice job, MM.
In Sweden, two versions of this car comes with a diesel engine 2.2 CRDi Diesel 8 speed Auto AWD, 200hp, GT Line and GT Line Plus. Of course the petrol V6 is still there with its mighty 370hp AWD 8 speed auto.
Hah, I appreciate that you now make the (admittedly not very important) distinction between pushing power and pulling power. I remember writing a comment a few years ago asking why you kept calling it "pulling power" even in RWD cars. I don't wanna presume that I'm the reason you started calling it pushing power, but it's fun, as a fan, to pretend that I was 😂
your panning shots seem to not have a smooth framerate?
where to buy this accesories for orange stinger?
verry goood
What Wheels Are The Sema Orange Stinger?
That orange gives me life!!!
Here is my Kia experience. Anyone in my position has encountered the same thing from Kia. If you cannot supply them with up to date maintenance records on your vehicle they will not cover it. So for instance, if you change your own oil you're screwed. Might work if you saved all your receipts but very few people are in the habit of saving receipts of them doing their own oil changes. This ploy Kia uses is well documented if you want to look it up, I have, and it’s out there. Also my car would be covered under the SC147 recall as the symptoms of my engine seizing up (engine needs replaced) followed the exact same symptomology as those the manufacturing defect notes in the recall. The recall notice even appears on my Carfax report. Again you can find all the recall information online. The reason my car isn't part of the SC147 recall according to Kia is because it is MPI instead of GDI. All the rest of the engine is the exact same, 2.4L theta II. Kia says that because my car uses a different kind of fuel injection method that it cannot be affected by the metal filings left in the engine block which is what the SC147 recall is all about. That's totally absurd on its face but that's Kia's position. The vehicles Kia did recall was done after many government threats as well as numerous lawsuits brought by disgruntled Kia owners for which there are many. Kia's mother company, Hyundai actually recalled their vehicles for the same problem immediately when the issue was discovered. It took Kia several years later to admit to the problem and issue a recall even though they were well aware of the problem. Where was Kia's concern for people being killed due to this manufacturing defect? A car having its engine seize up on the interstate would be something that would concern most companies immediately but not Kia. Unless Kia completely changes the way it does business they will continue to cost consumers thousands of dollars for defective cars and probably end up killing people due to their own negligence. I had to argue, write emails, file complaints with various entities, etc just to get Kia to actually LOOK at my engine at no cost to me to determine the how and why of the engine failure. Kia refused to cover my car even though it is under warranty and furthermore refused to even LOOK at my car to see what caused the failure. I'm still waiting for a callback from Kia with their assessment. Kia actually agreed to take my valve cover off to take a look at my car once I complained as high up as I could to Kia. This was after several months of my car sitting dead on the Auffenberg Kia lot in Metro east St Louis. Kia actually told me I'd have to pay $1500 up front to have my engine failure looked into initially. My constant pressure on Kia finally got them to say they would take my valve cover off for no fee which costs Kia less than $50 in labor. Kia had no desire whatsoever to know what caused my engine to seize up. Their ONLY concern was to avoid any acknowledgement of any responsibility or liability. Kia already knew what caused the engine to fail. The same thing that happened to hundreds of thousands of the same engines made by Kia and Hyundai. It was the exact same problem as the Kia SC147 recall. Taking the valve cover off will not help. There was no oil leak. No oil smell. Never any indication of any problem with the valve cover. It's simply a ploy for Kia to say we looked at your engine and it's your fault. Who would trust their assessment at this point anyway? I'm out thousands of dollars I still owe on a car without a working engine. Don't you think any car maker worth a darn would want to know why one of their vehicles engines just seized up on the highway? Kia's been super lucky so far no one has died due to their negligence. Additionally a co-worker of mine had a problem with his Kia and will not buy one again either. For his Kia the car required a specific oil filter made and installed by Kia and if that was not used the engine fails. He was never told this when he purchased the vehicle. His insurance successfully sued Kia for over $7,000 for his engine failure. Unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover mechanical issues. Ever wonder why your Kia never quite gets the gas mileage it was rated to get? Kia has also paid out for a class action lawsuit because they lied about the MPG of many of their models. The very MPG rating that many people base a large percentage of their purchase decision on. Yeah, Kia lied about that too but kept it hush hush. You can find the information online if you look for it. I had my car into the dealership (Auffenberg) several times before the engine failure telling them something is bad wrong with the car. The Kia service department ran every kind of computer diagnostic and could find no reason for the problems which included knocking, major loss of power, major loss of fuel economy and car dying at both idle and speed. Check engine light was always on and every sensor it said was malfunctioning was replaced and it didn't help. Unfortunately I could not leave my car with Kia. Kia wouldn't supply me with a free rental. They said it was against company policy. My step daughter was dying needing a second liver transplant as all this was going on and I couldn't be without that vehicle. With only one vehicle (other than the Kia) I wouldn't be able to get to work or my step daughter wouldn't be able to be cared for properly. I told Kia this and still they refused to get me a rental while they actually got to the root of my car problem and addressed it. Instead they said sorry to hear that, we can't find any problem with your car. They actually let me leave with a car they KNEW was dangerous and about to fail. They didn't care that my family was going through a serious medical situation with my step daughter and the car behaving as it was only increased the stress on my entire family during this time. Fortunately my step daughter got her transplant just in time and is doing ok now. Not only did Kia sell me a defective product but all this happened as our family is going through the stress of a child being deathly ill, lots of additional costs for medical related expenses and Kia was told this and didn't care. Kia added thousands of dollars to my already stressed finances by selling me a defective vehicle. But it gets even better. The Kia rep in Arizona named Steve that handles my case and many others actually told me on the phone that some of Kia's cars die early and that's just the way it is. He insisted all other car manufacturers have the same problem and also refuse to repair the vehicles leaving their customers screwed too. That's certainly not my experience nor that of anyone I know. Steve at Kia flat out told me Kia isn't going to pay and I'm out of luck because I got a bad Kia and have to eat it. That's what he said. That's Kia’s customer service that said that to me. I have to shake my head and laugh every time I call Kia and their recording says "Rated #1 in initial quality 2 years in a row!" Yeah, and dies in 78,000 miles and Kia refuses to make a full recall or honor it's warranty. You won't see Kia winning any customer service awards or vehicle longevity awards. My advice to anyone that has a Kia (ESPECIALLY if it's a 2.4L) is to trade it in and get something other than a Kia before it dies and your left paying off a car that doesn't run. I liked Kia at one time or I wouldn't have bought one. What I've found out since has opened my eyes to the quality of their vehicles and their denials of their own manufacturing defects even if it could cost lives or severely screw consumers over financially. Buying a Kia might make you think you're getting more quality for less money but it's all based upon lies and cover-ups. That is my Kia experience and it's the WORST experience I've had with any company on any level at any time in my 31 (47 - 16) years of driving cars.
It was a tough question you posed. Stinger Premium 2.0 L, or the base GT. In my current situation, I would go for the Stinger Premium. It has an appropriate level of go along with comfort and convenience. I also sense tuning and software enhancements for the 2.0l down the road.
Do they sell bages to cover up the Kia badge
Wow very nice
I’m impressed, I own a 2016 Kia Optima Love it .And looking to sell mine to upgrade to this One now .i buy and sell cars for a living and my Kia I approved it and kept it for 2 years which is a very long time for me usually cars come and go same month no more then 2 months of all makes and models.I’m ready for the upgrade.
Is it true that the US trims will not have 360 degree camera and heated back seats??
I like this guy.
Awesome! If they can keep the prices below the competition - i see no reason to ignore it. Go KIA! :D
Great design and execution. Badge is irrelevant.
I would jump on that orange Stinger in a heartbeat, even without the SEMA upgrades.
Borla Exhaust.... I love the car already!
اويلي علـّۓ السيارة 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I thought they weren't going to Produce these?? I was told it was only a Concept and they were going to smash them after.... Double U Tee Eff!!
I heard they actually spent a good portion of development in Germany with german engineers on german race tracks to complete this car, a lot of work and excellence for the price id say
I own a 2021 stinger GT and I love it. I’ve only just heard they are not making them anymore
Which is a shame. They are making a evGT 😔
Great post 🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I didn't think the Forte was to bad. This is very nice actually.
Does it come standard?
I work for a dealership and got the chance to drive one if these cars the other day and wow Kia had made a great car here lots of power smooth ride great handling and boy does it hual ass on the highway
I will say this, great review indeed!
(Yes I've seen most if not all reviews for the stinger, and they are all pretty much the same)
Thanks, Andy!
Nice
I'm looking at this car at thinking about the possibilities. V6tt, all carbon doors, trunk, front clip, etc. Add performance suspension and tires, this thing will be a monster.
What exactly was the party trick?
does it has manual transmission??
I found a 2013 sxl a year old on the lot that they sold to me as new, knocked off 8k from original price and I have loved the car. Could have made the telescopic steering wheel meet the driver better and brakes feel better after giving them a quick pump, but I'm picky.
I'll look for this car in a year or so and see if any bugs become apparent. But that flashy orange one with the borla package...yea that would do.
My question is, since Kia is not generally known for performance. Does that mean that Kia maybe has yet to take measures on things like detecting a history of aftermarket ecu tunes? Cuz if not, then tuning without voiding that 10 year warranty is a win win for me.
I love this car! I hope Kia will build a smaller type of gr car to compete with mid size or compact sports cars this thing is amazing tho :)
