Hey Joe great review! The E logos are actually used on Stingers in the South Korean market. They stand for “engineered by excellence,” I’m dead serious. The previous owner probably wanted to make his or her car look more like a Korean-spec by replacing the Kia badges with E badges.
@Raiti’s Rides No problem, that’s what the automotive community is all about. Thanks for reviewing the Stinger and countless other cars, I’ll continue to stay tuned.
For sure. Also the black part on the doors are for preventing ding/dent for parked car next to you. In Korea, the parking space is really narrow. Narrower than compact here. Need to be careful when you open door to get in so a lot of people put some sort of soft things on doors to prevent it.
I love how the previous owner chose the colour option that metallic white suit with the carbon fiber hood and wheels. I'm glad the previous owner made the heat extractors functional on the carbon fiber hood. Just like you said, the front lip spoiler does look massive
I had a red one pass me last week as I was in my black beauty here in Sydney. The chap had fitted black side skirts, black wheels and a black spoiler. It looked the mutt's nuts. Also had red and black number plates which was a nice touch. The white stingers look sensational with the dark red interior. Nice review as always. By the way, the heads up also gives you the route directions if you set a destination on the sat nav along with speed and lane keeping assist information.
Agreed! I love all the humor and innuendos, seriously makes me smile every time, especially when my wife can hear the review and just rolls her eyes LOL.
Previous owner made the right choice which is making the heat extractors and other vents functional and change some of the body panels with carbon fiber. Loving it.
JB4 sells a whole kit with a tune that will put these to 450whp. These cars are so sexy but door handles and gas door should be same color. Roof should be wrapped and every window tinted including the front. Guy made a good choice for trading it in for a M4. Another excellent review Joe!
I lost it with the party tray for pistachios. Lmao. What a great sense of humor. Great review, not biased whatsoever. Don't tempt me to drive all the way to Florida for this
Love this vehicle. Most of the Kia badging has been removed. They forgot about the Kia on the steering wheel. This car in red or blue with awd would’ve been perfect. Still like the front of the G70 more than the Stinger but love all the carbon added to this particular car. Excellent review Joe in spite of all the zonks you gave this one😀👍
Great review, Joe! I have the 2019 Stinger GT1 AWD myself (in Ceramic Silver), and I agree that some of the cosmetic mods that you zonked are a bit much IMO. There's a good following of Stinger owners in FL, with a number of them with a good mix of performance and cosmetic mods. You should reach out to some of them and feature one of those in your next video. I can help connect you to one of them (I'm in a number of Stinger communities) if you'd like.
I’ve watched many of your videos, Joe, and they’re great. But I bet what many people don’t pick up on - and what I didn’t realize until last week - was how often you are getting the whole exterior, the interior, the dash, etc. in just one continuous shot each. That is tough to do. It flows nicely. Great work!
My guess is the previous owner was looking to be a RUclipsr and bit off more than they planned. Those mods look way incomplete and poorly done for that matter and to have it all done but turned in after less than 5000 miles is definitely a head scratcher.
Got my bubble bursted on this when i saw the title..I thought finally my favorite car enthusiast gets to judge a modified stinger(which i think is really sweet ride) I was so hopeful for a cool exhaust or the really cool intake the utilizes the factory air intake system but was nice to see this none the less- thanks for sharing! Your so funny Man😂
Kdm cars have a thing for rebadging. The tiburons, genesis coupes, velosetors and stingers all have different badges you can swap out. Great and fun video. I really like the stingers. Don't see a whole lot of nice modded ones out!
The E logo symbolizes the maximized performance of its rear-wheel driving. It also stands for the company's new theme "'Engineered by Excellence." Aside from that, the logo means Exclusive, Exquisite and Evolutionary. The new logo symbolizes the car's new premium line-up.
I PURCHASED THIS CAR .... I agree with your comments on the tires. Solid car and ride, but in turns I can definitely feel what you were talking about. Having owned and driven multiple performance cars I dont feel as confidence in the tire selection and will definitely be getting a different style tire when needed. FYI the CF trunk style is typically called a duck bill style trunk or spoiler. Great review, saw it today and thought well that looks like mine and then you said Reeves and I was like no way thats my car lol
Nothing wrong with Kia. Honestly i have more respect for someone driving a kia over a BMW. Most people cannot even afford a luxury car without sacrificing any other aspect of their life.
I'd proudly keep and show the KIA badge because this car is amazing in every aspect. Not to mention the power it possesses, unless you drive something with an //M, AMG, S or RS badge you shouldn't even consider to compare it with your car...
so i just saw one of these at my gym and i was like dang the stinger looks pretty good, and then i saw the front badge and it had that badge on it and it threw me off soo much i didnt know what it was. soo thank you for reassuring me that im not crazy lol
..check out how much the elegant round E badge resembles the famous Bugatti B badge...and the stretched script of the stunning Stinger logo reminds you of the timeless Maserati signature script...
That's what I like about the Stinger. There's a lot of aftermarket parts thats not available on other cars like the G70. The E bafge stands for excellent in Korea. I replaced all my Kia Badges. The haters don't know what it is.
All I would need to do on the Stinger is stuff a V8 engine and swap out the V6 engine and now it will start up like a beast making a more aggressive vehicle to drive around.
Looks good! Most of it. Headlight mod👎🏻,fuel filler door 👎🏻 Too many mods make it hard to sell. That’s probably why it was traded in to a dealership. Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I have several other mods for my GT2 Stinger that this one is missing. There are shift paddles extenders that look great and make shifting easier. There are door handle inserts that look like speaker covers that are cool too. There are also Stinger decals for the door sills that are a nice touch.
I can’t believe they didn’t change out the Kia logo on the steering wheel. Everybody changes that logo out. Makes no sense to change everything else and not change that logo.
The E is for Engineering Excellence. I have those badges on the sides of my stinger just above the side scoops. Looks sharp. Replacing the black chrome for carbon fiber is minimal impact.
I agree with you, the previous owner went overboard with the use of carbon fiber on the exterior and I'm very surprised he didn't apply any of that on the interior. Overall, great car in its own right. You killed me with the whole "banana scratched" bit. LOL
@@mauricekwurue4974 very well. The paint seems a little thin (Atomic Blue) in some places as I'm always having to use the touch up pen, and the start/stop function (engine shuts off at traffic lights to save fuel) hasn't worked in ages. Other than those two things, I feel like a million bucks everytime I drive it. If you do end up getting one, rebadge it with the Korean spec badges and you'll get a about half the population not knowing what the car is. Some people have thought it was a Jag, some a Maserati.
@@mauricekwurue4974 that issue may be non existent on your car. I have an early model. I would buy another Stinger in a heartbeat even if it had paint issues.
Great vid, Joe!! I’m with ya; wrap the roof, ditch all that stick on crap, omg can we say “Pep Boys”, lol!!! Always amazes me how many people do that stuff!
I see a few brand new 2020's on Autotrader for $40-42k so $40k is a bit much. Is it true that Florida dealers have the highest dealer fees in the country? Maybe that's why the price is high. Personally, I'd get a new GT for $30-32k. Now that's an amazing deal.
Not sure where you are finding a GT2 for 40k, the lowest I have seen was 47k with RWD, but if you live in the north you may want the AWD which is an additional $2,500. If you are looking for fun and want to mod it, get the Regular GT.
Slathian I went on Autotrader and searched new GT2’s nationwide. The ones in the low 40’s might be bait and switch where they hit you with huge dealer fees. A rwd GT is one of the best performance bargains out there.
Hey Joe, I actually bought a 2020 Kia Forte GT automatic because of watching your videos. I live in Tampa and actually recently got a RaceChip GTS tune for it, giving it 250 HP and 280 lb-ft of torque now. If you are interested in giving it a drive after the tune, I would love to connect with you and let you give it a spin. I know you'll love it. Love the videos man!
Hi, Joe, so, I see you picked up some of my comments on the stinger vs the G70. Good call! Still want to point out the lack of a true manual mode on the GT2 vs the GT1. And like most cars with some form of “slushomatic”, the car opens up when controlling the gearing (oh for a real manual option). If I was modding this car, a J.B. 4 piggyback with the mandatory spark plug upgrade and a stiffer rear sway bar would be my vote. I kind of like a stealth look and sound that fools everybody. Keep up the good work!
I always use the party tray in the center console for pistachios! And the cubby is definitely the best spot for jolly ranchers! And yes I agree the armrest is hard, but it somehow doesn't bother me.
Hey Joe nice review as always, I am confused between buying a stinger gt vs accord 2.0T what do you think is the best overall choice between the two. Thanks
I believe that car is in the dupont registry. Definitely a great buy. When I buy one, it's definitely going to look just like that. I already wanted white and the spoiler is a good touch.
Man how cool would it be if kia brought over some of the styling and that twin turbo motor into the telluride (telluride GT?). Competitor to the explorer st and durango R/T.
I absolutely agree with you about the mods, I love carbon fiber but that's too much, also the car being white it makes it worst because it has too much contrast, maybe if it was black it'll be a better combo.
I didn't even know about the GT2 Stinger stage.......I like the color way and I do agree that the exhaust Joe....I love that car guys have somewhere to watch different cars displayed on your channel
I think this car reminds me of a Korean M3 and rightfully so. I hope Hyundai brings back the Genesis or heck, even a better Tiburon. I'd wanna see more KDM coupes.
The Hyundai Genesis still exists, they just renamed it the Genesis G80 (part of their new-ish luxury brand). You should check out the 2021 model, it's pretty sweet!
I like how toward the end he always says he'll see you at the dealer in a split second, and literally a split second later, he's teleported to the dealer...
The car door stickers are really popular in S. Korea, when I lived there for a couple years I got a sticker pack one time when I ordered some pizza. im surprised Kia integrated it into their car.

Talk about over exaggerating.
@@RaitisRides even with the 87 you made in the last year, I've still watched all 348 total Stinger vids you put out!
You should start reviewing modified cars that were previously just alright in terms in performance and see if they are better! Keep up the great work!

Very good points!
The E badge is how they are badged in Korea. It stand for Engineered for Exelence.
Awesome that you’re still making videos on the Stinger!
This is a special one.
I like how you list the vehicle price the same time in every video right when you begin to show off the interior
I am so glad that you like that. I love being consistent but I know that sometimes has it's downfall.
I love that too
Raiti's Rides - Joe it’s great that you are consistent. It’s one of the reasons that you are the best.

Never paid much attention to the Kia brand but I'm really impressed with this car. The carbon fiber is just the icing on the cake
You are so very right!
Honestly thinking on getting this car its very nice
I like the hood but most of those mods are useless. Here's what he should have done:
- Tune
- Exhaust
- Intakes
Easy 480-500 bhp
Prob did just took the mods off before dumping it. Jb4 and basic mods 👌
Throw in a nice diverter agreed
he should have done? Are you paying his car payments? The mods he "should do" are the ones he wants to do... his car not yours 🤣🤣🤣
Previous owner made the right choice which is making the heat extractors and other vents functional and change some of the body panels with carbon fiber. Loving it.
I totally agree about the hood!
@RaitisRides whete do I get that bonnet from??

I would take it for the price. I agree needs a exhaust mod .
Great minds think a like!
Removal of ALL Badges pre-delivery is a MUST for this car.....can you imagine been seen driving a KIA???
This is amazing!
Thats a nice spec Jaguar F-Type SVR back there in that sweet orange 🍊
Man 🤯❤️❤️ this car is amaizing, it’s literary an Audi+Maserati combined but reliable 😂😂
I didn't even know about the GT2 Stinger stage.......I like the color way and I do agree that the exhaust Joe....I love that car guys have somewhere to watch different cars displayed on your channel
I think this car reminds me of a Korean M3 and rightfully so. I hope Hyundai brings back the Genesis or heck, even a better Tiburon. I'd wanna see more KDM coupes.
I love the Tiburon personally!
Imagine a Hyundai Tiburon N..Ouff.
The Hyundai Genesis still exists, they just renamed it the Genesis G80 (part of their new-ish luxury brand). You should check out the 2021 model, it's pretty sweet!
@@peteyification The Genesis Coupe is what I am referring to. The sports car that was the successor of the Tiburon.
@@blackguy546 whoops, that makes a lot more sense, haha. And I agree!
I like how toward the end he always says he'll see you at the dealer in a split second, and literally a split second later, he's teleported to the dealer...
Definitely a significant delay when floored. Wish you measured the 0-60 on these cars with a dragy!
Looks like they added a tune kit when he opened the hood.
Besides that tune, I would add the rear sway bar which you mention the rear slipping.
Wow, I didn't know my car has a G meter. Cool stuff
The car door stickers are really popular in S. Korea, when I lived there for a couple years I got a sticker pack one time when I ordered some pizza. im surprised Kia integrated it into their car.
I love the Stinger GT 2 but my favorite color is the Gray one with the Red leather interior. The mods I am not digging at all.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Dale!
Carbon hood looks much better on red model imo.
Ya don't "scratch" a banana itch, ya gotta give it a little pinch.
LOL
