If someone actually knows how to really put this thing in "Drift Mode" where it says so on the dash, please feel free to comment below and let us know!
People in the comments completely hating on this car and Kia in general are just mad because they can’t afford this car to begin with. I own one and I love it.
@@oscarlopez5122 they do the same thing with the Hyundai genesis coupes. Nothing but hate saying that brand is weak, bad, slow, cheap, etc.... But both Kia and Hyundai put a lot of money into these cars to make them amazing and perform amazingly.
@@kensentan5998 No, the orange is from natural light from outside. If you look at a sample instance at 12:39, you will see that reflection from the sky and the road makes the lens orange. Either way, in good lighting anyone looking directly at those sunglasses will see orange lol.
AWD GTS owner here. We debated between it and a GT2, and the dealer's price on the GTS made sacrificing a few of the GT2's options worth it, with the added benefit of the GTS AWD's method of displacing more power to the rear for "drift" mode. Very very happy with the purchase and love the color.
Do you still own it? How's the reliability been, my aunt bought a 21 here a while back and ended up selling it back to the dealer just because she wanted something different but I've been a big fan of them and I was looking at getting a GTS in this exact color do because it's gorgeous, but I was just curious how the reliability has been and cost of maintenance and such?
@Jsv_1021O4 we sold ours back to dealer as well when the market was hot. But, in the time we did own it, it was a very solid car, especially if putting winter tires on it for snow. With two exceptions: I had to pad a spot in the rear trunk lid that was known to have a rattling sound (very easy to do, and info is out there on forums); but more seriously, another known issue for that production run was that each spark plug from the factory would crack one-by-one over time, with each requiring replacement under warranty. When this happened, the vehicle was still drivable for emergency distance, since it had 5 other functional cylinders, but as soon as that engine light came on wanted to make sure to get it in the shop before the cracked plug became more serious. We went through this 3 times (3 different new-from-factory spark plugs for 3 different cylinders) with the GTS before we sold it. If buying a used GTS, I'd inquire if the spark plugs have all been replaced, and if not, request that they are, or do it yourself after purchase.
I've wanted a Stinger for the past 3 years, since its first inception. After my V6 Challenger I swore I would get one, and I recently did (Stinger GT). Couldn't be any happier
Doug demuro is good at what he does. But your reviews are straight up and to the point. And your not afraid to keep it real when real is needed.Thanks keep it up.
Just purchased this car yesterday had a wonderful experience at Demontrond Automotive Group in Houston. Our salesman Fabian was extremely professional and efficient. The car (2020 GT2 Stinger white / red interior) was a dream to drive back home. After a 350 mile drive back home, here is my impressions of the vehicle. Lots of lookers and thumbs up, solid car, quick on the pedal, great mpg and quiet interior. Very smooth driving vehicle, the overall quality I liked. Awesome sound system is phenomenal. My overall experience with this car A+. First time Kia buyer here now I am sure not the last. Thanks Guys.
Love the sound when you close the doors on this car, solid but yet soft on the ear.. decent quality, really upped their game Kia haven't they, and thanks to you we can never miss on the best car-door-closing-sounds super sedans out there!
That’s a sweet engine note. Sounds a little like old school 5cyl Audi-similar harmonic thrum sound. The Stinger looks great. But it’s more car than I need, or am able to stretch the legs on due to where I live. I bought a 2003 Silverado in California in a similar orange. It even shocked me when I bought it. But I got used to it quick and people always said how much they liked it. Thanks for another great video.
I have a GT1 for a year and a half and has been the best car among all my cars (12 in 16 years). Great performance, Dynamics and reliability. Many people asked me about this car. Now I will trade it for a micro blue GT2 with more features like auto tailgate and a head-up display. Good job Kia!
Most people don't know that Alcantara is not a material. It is the name of the company that makes the material, which is a micro-suede, made of mostly polyester. It is not a super high quality material like everyone makes it out to be. As he said it wears down, and gets dirty very quickly.
A Redline video complete with Mr. Bey looking through owners manual and Google on how to activate a certain function of a car then getting the car in their own "custom drift mode". Now that's a complete video lol! I'm liking the new consistent style of the videos doing during video bloopers and after very nice still have a bunch of videos to catch up on. Back to the car, Kia first time car was introduced on commercial I said "this is Kia?" I say it every time when this car is the main topic. They certainly surprised everyone did a great bringing the designer of BMW's M division over to really step up their game.
I do own an AWD 2019 GTS! To go into Drift Mode is easy! Sport Mode all Nannies OFF then put into manual mode! Keep in mind you WILL have to change gears by way of the paddle shifters! There YOU go!
Drift mode won't show up on any display when active, but supposedly to activate (while in sport mode) you just push and hold the traction control button for 3 seconds and that should send all power to the rear wheels.
I'm glad to see someone still talking about this superb car. Hurry up before Kia stops making them soon... I love my 2018 AWD GT Limited. BTW, @3:33 these are actually 19" wheels, not 18" like you said. Great review still. I've enjoyed the included bloopers :-) The silky smooth 60p video quality is also great. Thanks for sharing. Nice Stevie Wonder impression @21:15... ;-)
I love my GT AWD. I wouldn’t buy this because of the steering wheel. I hate that fake suede. But that’s just a personal preference. The only real knock on the car is the front seats have zero foot room under them so it makes the back seat more cramped than it should be. But it’s crazy fast. The mileage is fine. Utility is more than adequate and it goes in snow. I love mine.
I think it's funny how people talk shit about Kia motors, I work at a Kia dealership and I've seen so many go from another brand to a Kia and love it. Plus the whole thing with reliability thing. Kia are actually really reliable cars shit my 2010 Kia Soul has a little over 80,000 miles on it and has it ever had a check engine light on... no so that should tell you something about kia's just because when they were first introduced in usa so many years ago they weren't the best doesn't mean that's true today. Kia has gone a long way since first introduced. Rant over
Naveen Krishnamurthy it is a valid question. Do you want a sport injected car or do you want straight up luxury and supple driving. Cars these days have so much trim levels you start to question which is the top trim
Just buy the first RWD trim that has a lsd and you are good👍No need for awd and more weight. I wish we got the sports exhaust that Kia offers in the Australian market for this car. It's variable and mean sounding
I got drunk and feel in love with the 4 cylinder fun little car . What got me was how open the 4 cylinder is in the engine. Now I have not done it but I have seen this little 4s pushed up to420 horse which insane and looks like about only 4 k if you can do it your self
The interior looks basic now. It needs an update with LED ambient lighting if it doesn't have that already, diamond quilted Nappa leather seats or at least a better design for the seats beyond basic horizontal lines, a digital gauge cluster, & a 9-10" touchscreen as standard on some trims & optional on others. The 8" screen should be standard since it's only 1 inch bigger & the Forte & Altima both come standard with an 8" screen. It needs some more grandeur in the interior if it really wants to compete with luxury import models from the Germans & Japanese brands.
Not sure why a GT car like this would benefit from the crackles from the exhaust. I certainly don’t miss that. Maybe I’m just older at 47. To me 1.5 years+ later, this is still by far the best value there is for the money. I have the GT2 AWD in black with the red Napa leather interior. Have had 1 issue that required maintenance in that time period, so much more reliable than any BMWs or Audis I’ve owned. I still get stopped more often than I have with any car I’ve owned because this car is still beautiful.
It's actually not equipped with "all the goodies from the GT2". The GTS sits between the GT and the GT1, Borrowing some premium features the GT1 gives such as the Harman sound system but also having some set backs from the base GT such as the smaller guague cluster screen. The GT2 is still the top Stinger with all the bells and whistles. It just can't drift if it's the AWD model Edit: I guess you kinda corrected yourself in the video when you got in the car.
I figured out Kia's Sprinter drift mode after watching some other 2020 reviews. 'Traction controls must be disabled followed by engaging the launch control feature then until speed of the car resumes to the legal " Speed Limit" ' Furthermore the cars computer is refraining.. simple terms to my knowledge it's gathering data to add driver responsibility.. might be reminescent for a 'Call a friend on Who wants to be a Millionaire?' Brings back memories of the Berreta 9 millimeter firearm.. that safety switch in the fuse box.. congratulations on the value of ownership! #Kiastinger #driftmode
Brought to my attention again.. Launch control in use must be dependent on factory idle (RPM) with turbo temperature .. upon using my years of experience with Mircosoft Windows Operating System .. the drift mode is available.. but there's an installation (graphic render) occuring behind the physical gauge cluster apast wiring harness beyond the visual light spectrum through "infotainment screen" ala 60 frames per second* .. In a cartoonish way the Pros may out weigh the Cons "There's no literal connection between the ECU and the fuel pump."
Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown ... Revised taillights would be an improvement. Interior looks bland and a more upscale appearance & feel would be welcome. Another well done detailed review. Aviator sunglasses would look good on you Sofyan ... Bloopers add to your appeal in reviews. Cheers !
I'm looking at possibly getting a stinger as my first big boy car lol, But I've already decided that I either want a GTS just like this in the exact color, or a GT2 in chroma blue or possibly black
KIA, Killed In Action...any who besides the point, they sure worked on their Stinger power and torque. But they really lack on minute details like the guy was saying, it’s the small details that would bring more pop to that car. I’m glad that they are finally trying to bring themselves to the competition of other performance vehicles.
You: Pure opulence 😅 Scotty: Endless money pits 😂 (horse laughing). I'll hook my fancy, $5,000 scan tool up and be able to tell y'all been flooring it.
@@mikezerker6925 Yeah, and only a used Toyota or Honda, not the new ones which are money pits according to Scotty because they're not made in Japan anymore... lol !
Unsteady Cam New Kias are better than new Nissans. On the other hand, old Nissans are better than old Kias. Nissan has been building sucky cars ever since Renault took over them.
I genuinely want a Kia stinger as my next car. Cant afford an s5 sportback so.....the gt1 seems like the ideal trim level but honestly compared to my current car even the "base" gt is still gonna be more comfortable and better equipped than my dodge dart lol.
Welcome to Washington State, Sofyan. Gorgeous scenery and roads in need of repair. I suspect that KIA could sell every single one of the 800 Stinger GTS's in Austin, Texas, Knoxville, Tennessee, and Syracuse, New York. Many years ago I lived in Austin and it seemed that every third sorority girl owned an orange Olds Cutlass. :) Why doesn't it have the exhaust cracks and burbles of a Veloster N? Simple. It's an American version of a 4 door European GT sedan, not a track toy. Nor is it meant to be a "sports sedan" in the mold of a 3 series. That's the role of the Genesis G70.
Auto blipper I was thinking the same thing. Not knocking this car, but come on, at least consider an Infiniti Q50/Q60S or Q50/Q60 RS. For damn near similar money, you get more power, better color options, fatter tires, and it’s “luxurious.”
Auto blipper I didn’t say anything about SUVs? Q50 is a sport sedan and the Q60 is the coupe. But other than that. I do agree bout your picks. I completely forgot about the amg c43. Sheesh the interior in that thing is MILES better than this
800 units only . a review of a car that i will prob have no chance of buying. love that it is AWD ! with that power you need AWD to keep it in the ground in the snow , rain states. GT2 would be the one for me in WI . then again i rather have G70 over the stinger. both good vehicles , just a personal preference. i would want black with red interior.

I like what Kia is doing lately. Telluride, Stinger. Desirable looking vehicles.

This car is more related to the GT1 not the gt2. The gt2 has more technology and features than the gts.
Is the Gts more expensive than the Gt1 or the Gt2?
@@mindhunter8772 no it's not. The gt2 is the most expensive, gts comes in around 40k if I remember correctly
Why take off the logo of the car ? I’d be proud to show the world this is a Kia.

Replace all KIA logos with Stinger and then I'd be happy.

Some say king ranch is better value
Or is the Camry XSE v6 best Camry you can buy
Naveen Krishnamurthy it is a valid question. Do you want a sport injected car or do you want straight up luxury and supple driving. Cars these days have so much trim levels you start to question which is the top trim
The f150 limited cost the most not the platinum

Great sense of humor! When you put it into drift mode that was it for me. Instant follow!
Not sure why a GT car like this would benefit from the crackles from the exhaust. I certainly don’t miss that. Maybe I’m just older at 47. To me 1.5 years+ later, this is still by far the best value there is for the money. I have the GT2 AWD in black with the red Napa leather interior.

Scotty: Endless money pits 😂 (horse laughing). I'll hook my fancy, $5,000 scan tool up and be able to tell y'all been flooring it.
Jeffrey Twoey Scotty sounds like a broken record... “buy a Toyota or Honda... everything else is an endless money pit!” 😂😂😂
@@mikezerker6925 Yeah, and only a used Toyota or Honda, not the new ones which are money pits according to Scotty because they're not made in Japan anymore... lol !
Scotty thinks (new) Kias are better than Nissans.

I don't know what Scotty thinks of my Stinger, and I actually don't care. I love this car.
Unsteady Cam New Kias are better than new Nissans. On the other hand, old Nissans are better than old Kias. Nissan has been building sucky cars ever since Renault took over them.
I genuinely want a Kia stinger as my next car. Cant afford an s5 sportback so.....the gt1 seems like the ideal trim level but honestly compared to my current car even the "base" gt is still gonna be more comfortable and better equipped than my dodge dart lol.
Welcome to Washington State, Sofyan. Gorgeous scenery and roads in need of repair. I suspect that KIA could sell every single one of the 800 Stinger GTS's in Austin, Texas, Knoxville, Tennessee, and Syracuse, New York. Many years ago I lived in Austin and it seemed that every third sorority girl owned an orange Olds Cutlass. :)
Why doesn't it have the exhaust cracks and burbles of a Veloster N? Simple. It's an American version of a 4 door European GT sedan, not a track toy. Nor is it meant to be a "sports sedan" in the mold of a 3 series. That's the role of the Genesis G70.
The 2019 is THE only stinger that will go full REAR WHEEL drive!
OMG I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS 😍😍😍
Great car. But your right, I like the white with red interior. So I will probably get the GT
my *realistic* dream car! or the gt2, i'm not picky with these two 😅
It’s a very sexy alternative to a BMW or Benz for sure. Better value too.
Auto blipper I was thinking the same thing. Not knocking this car, but come on, at least consider an Infiniti Q50/Q60S or Q50/Q60 RS. For damn near similar money, you get more power, better color options, fatter tires, and it’s “luxurious.”
Auto blipper I didn’t say anything about SUVs? Q50 is a sport sedan and the Q60 is the coupe. But other than that. I do agree bout your picks. I completely forgot about the amg c43. Sheesh the interior in that thing is MILES better than this
800 units only . a review of a car that i will prob have no chance of buying. love that it is AWD ! with that power you need AWD to keep it in the ground in the snow , rain states. GT2 would be the one for me in WI . then again i rather have G70 over the stinger. both good vehicles , just a personal preference. i would want black with red interior.
My Korean brothers are destroying the competition. This is a luxury performance car that rivals an M3 for half the price. And it looks better.
And it might be more reliable with a longer warranty
Buy AWD stinger. Pull front diff fuse. Presto, GTS.
can you elaborate?
Gts has a rear mechanical limited slip differential ... other stingers do not.
I wish it came in a manual!
I put in my BMW to get one of these I absolutely love it and will never get a BM again
GT 2 is the one I want!!
Bruh that shifter looks like it came straight out of the hummer h2 😂😂😂
