    Nice little helpful touch

    Hang in there; the GT2 is up to 4 colors now, so, white and silky silver should be in the next batch. Fingers crossed.... Not great so far; 19.9 mpg, in mixed highway/city driving. BUT, I have done lots of idling, while figuring things out and showing it to different people. I'm going to fill...

    Nice little helpful touch

    So after 295 miles, I have about 20 miles of range left. I looked over and saw this on the nav screen:

    Kia Stinger with gold Brembo calipers

    That would look awesome on a black Stinger.

    That's the one. They seem to know their stuff.

    What car will you be replacing with your Kia Stinger?

    The GT2 replaced my '15 turbo mustang. Leased the Stinger 12/14, returned the mustang the next day. That was a LONG 38 months; it was a nice enough car but I never did really love it. I think I only kept it because I knew it would be expensive to terminate the lease early.

    Kia Stinger vs Ford Mustang

    I can't wait to go. Hopefully by the time they reopen here, I'll have a tune or chip installed.

    Kia Stinger vs Ford Mustang

    I haven't run into a mustang yet, but, I can tell you now, this car invites challenges. It's been three days and I've already had a Charger RT, a modded Chevy SS, and an E90 335i pace me on the highway, trying to get me to take the bait.

    More proof that engine is underrated.

    Official Ceramic Silver & Ghost Grey Kia Stinger Pictures Thread

    That IS too bad they don't offer it there; I saw that color combo Friday and it is AWESOME. Made me a bit jealous. OK, a LOT jealous.

    All-New 2018 Kia Stinger Named To Wards 10 Best Engines List

    I think it deserves it, it's an impressive engine. Glass smooth, quiet in casual driving, nice rumble during lazy acceleration, responsive when you poke it. It's easily a match for BMWs inline six or the V6 in the Q50/60. Good job Hyundai/Kia.

    Insurance cost for the Kia Stinger?

    I just got my coverage in place this morning: for a GT2 in DFW, male driver older than Methuselah (30 something), no tickets/accidents, Geico is hitting me for 123.59 monthly. They've always been on the high side (and I've always been too lazy to look elsewhere); I may check around next week...

    Pulled the trigger!

    Ok, so I'm rested and ready to share my impressions: I drove for hours last night and I now have 100 miles. I couldn't remember what the break-in recommendation was so I babied it; didn't go above 4k or 75 mph. I can say though, in sport mode, she wants to GO. It's a really good sounding engine...

    Pulled the trigger!

    Well, the time has come; I'm officially a Stinger owner. I went in with the intention of picking up a black over red GT1, but somehow, likely because I've been awake 38 hours and hadn't eaten since last night, I let myself get talked into a red over black GT2. Dont ask me how it drives, I...
