Value aplenty
The 2020 Stinger GT provides plenty of power and a comfortable ride. It is also well appointed and is a real value for the money. Cross shop against Audi and BMW. More power, bigger interior and trunk space. Thousands less and designed by former Audi and BMW execs. It's the real value leader

Vibration in steering when braking.
The vehicle is amazing. The only issue I had was a slight vibration in the steering wheel a few weeks after purchase. I took it to the dealer and they resurface the rotors. The dealer stated the vehicles come with a ceramic coating on the rotors that cause the vibration.

Fast yet refined.
I purchased my 2020 Kia Stinger exactly one month ago. I know the first model year was 2018. I waited till 2020 so that all the kinks would be ironed out. I’m glad I did. This machine is amazing. Kudos to Kia for snagging Albert Bierman who was head of the “M” division department at BMW. His work shines throughout the Stinger Chassis. Not to Mention the beautiful lines of the Stinger Penned by the almighty Peter Schreyer. Thank you Peter. Thank you Albert. The stinger is fast yet refined. It feels like it was carved out of one Solid block of Metal. Great safety features, comfortable, effortless to drive. It gets mistaken for a Jaguar at least once a week. People are still shocked to find out it is a Kia. The wow factor alone is intoxicating! I highly recommend this vehicle as an alternative to higher priced German counterparts. The fusion of German and Asian technology, engineering, and design blends harmoniously to create a true Grand Tourismo. I love my Stinger.

2020 Kia stinger (best car ever).
This car is all around the best everyday sedan with a twist of being able to drive a sport car! Super fast car with 365 hp. Seats are very comfortable for a long ride. It definitely turns heads on the road. Great on gas for a v6! Not to mention the awesome tech options for the car!

My car could be your car and you could feel like a Rockstar.
This Kia has enough room to drive for days and not be cramped up nor angry about the drive. What I do like about the car is that it accelerates at a decent rate. The torque is sufficient to get off the red light as fast as anyone that has a non modified ride.

Great Car
Purchased a 2020 Kia Stinger limited. Can't say enough about this car. Drives and handles like a dream , it sports all the latest in comfort with heated and cooling seating on fine soft napa leather. It boasts incredible pick up speed when the throttle is pushed and I love pushing it in Sport Mode. The Harmon Kardon Speakers with Satellite Radio is crystal clear even if you push the Amp into high. For the money you would be hard pressed to find something more comparable. Definately recommend this car to anyone

Kia stinger will definitely captivate your senses.
The Kia stinger is a remarkable vehicle. The gt-line comes equipped with blind spot detection, leather seats, 255 twin horsepower 4 cyl engine and remarkable 8 speed automatic transmission. The cabin is fairly quiet and the vehicle handles the road well. The stinger also comes with various drive modes to Taylor performance to the driver’s preferences. I am very happy with my purchase and wouldn't change a thing.

The Kia stinger is one hell of a car.
So far there have been no issues with my stinger. It is comfortable all of the features work as advertised. It has been incredibly reliable as well as having a fun drive. It is a very comfortable ride when in the comfort mode and the sport mode absolutely rips.

There is no interesting details of the car.
Issues with front brakes. Cracked windshield. Tore up deaths. Dpr damage. Power steering is out cracked headlights and brake lights. Back windshield needs replaced along with head gaskets. Needs a new fuel pump and a new alternator. Whole body is damaged and not drivable.

The fast acceleration of an astounding automobile.
It really helps me get around and the acceleration is superior! I inspect it every week and constantly clean it, to make it very presentable. Other than that, this car is a must-buy for car lovers who adore dast acceleration and comfy interior design.

I love driving my car be it fits me and it is fast!!
Fast, fun & also very great interior, the only problems be with who I bought the car from!! They act as if they do not know what wrong with the car they even told me they didn’t know which grade gas to put in the car! I looked it up and found it myself. It saves a lot of gas but I am a fast driver and I always use up my gas from driving fast.
