I'm on my second Stinger. Had the 2.0 originally when they first came out on lease. That went (sadly) and then I had a mk8 GTI - rejected that, had a 2.0 Optima GT (only 64 of them in the uk) loved that car but the stinger called me back and I went and got my current one, the 3.3 - the one I should have had from the start. Love this car
I have a 2022 Stinger GT-Line and enjoy it every day. This car is comfortable and fast. 300 HP is sufficient for my needs here in Connecticut. Everything works great and the car is flawless. Kia gives you amazing cars for a reasonable price. Find one if you can.
2019 Base GT AWD with 123k miles. No real problems even with a JB4 tune (coil packs, spark plugs, but that's expected). Still get 30 -33 mpg hwy. when staying under 80. My favorite car of over 30 different makes and models I've owned. Has it all. Performance, reliability, awd traction, looks, cargo room, fuel efficiency. Awesome car. Also own a 2013 Optima SX with 260k miles. Warranty engine replacement, thanks Kia !! People that hate on Kia are uneducated to put it politely.
An excellent review, always liked them from new. Just the rear styling that’s a bit iffy, but a damned good car. Snobs out there will pay over the odds for German made, but more fool them.
Great review of a sleeper car. Fantastic 😍 would love a drive sometime. Can I just point out that in parts of your review I could barely hear you, whether it be music in the background or the talking that's been done in a booth or something.
In Korea, since after 2021 Stinger Meister comes with 373HP and all the previous version is 370HP. I am curious why its HP seems keep getting lower at US or Eroupe. Here at this channel, it's HP is lowered even almost to 360.
Kia’s sister company, Hyundai, changed its image with the i30N, i20N and so on. They have not sold that many of them either in UK … like the Stinger, the i20N and i30N were introduced into diminishing sectors. Astonishing though when you think of the Kia Sedona and the Hyundai Trajet, the latter of which I owned for ten trouble-free but forgettable years.
be sure to buy one with valid warranty. mine got repairs about 50.000€ on warranty. Engine, Turbos, Catalyst, suspension. without warranty it would have been a financial mess. 4 years very lucky driving but many repairs
EU law stipulates that manufactures themselves need to supply parts for vehicles for a minimum of 15 years AFTER the production ends and the production has just stopped so Kia need to supply parts until at least 2038. Of course after that, aftermarket parts will still be available and the Kia / Hyundai group will be using parts from this car in other products for years to come so it’s likely that parts will be available for in excess of 15 years. You can still buy genuine parts for VW’s directly from them dating back to the 1950’s … so don’t think anyone is going to be “stung” by the fact it’s gone out of production 🙄

The afterthought stuck on screen would drive me nuts. Prefer my focus st with its dash integrated screen. What a shame. Nice car, great review.
I love buttons. 🤣
I used to have this car for 2 years
I striped a wrecked one and transplanted its 3.3 drivetrain into a 3.3 AWD 2010 Santa Fe. Santa FastarFe on steroids.
Does each Stinger have a panorama window?
I have a 2021 kia stinger gt limited 3.3 twin turbo. Up for sale. $40,000. In Canada toronto

How many miles or kilometres had you done when you had problems?
@@tp4438 with 57.00km the engine was broken and then rest followed step by step. with 89.000km ive sold the car.
I would have preferred to hear the engine sound in more depth
Group 42 insurance in the UK.
There are a lot of buttons?! It's really not that bad.
Great car by the looks but still in love with my golf gtd . Best car I've ever had! And £20 tax! Bonus!
BMW BENZ AUDI KILLER
Definitely get stung with a discontinued car.
Could you please elaborate as I am interested in this car. Don't they use this engine in Genisis products
