    Cold Start - Engine sputtering/Missing

    I am not diagnosing your problem, only giving my opinion and known knowledge. Take it to the dealership and they'll know what's wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong but, I believe these are still considered GDi motors. They use a fuel injector that has 6 smalls ports instead of one. These small ports...

    Dyno Results: 2.0 Stinger LAP3

    The only reason I will contest is the fact there are before and after runs. The gains will still be the same but may have a higher number to the wheels. For example - Stock on a Mustang: 196 whp Stock on a DynoJet: 207 whp After LAP3 on a Mustang: 223whp After LAP3 on a DynoJet: 234 whp The...

    New guy here, doing research on a possible Stinger purchase

    That's odd because there are 5.0 AWD G80's out there. I looked on Autotrader and it wasn't showing any... just like you said. That's very weird. I guess some more cars in the $45k range are the Chevy SS (does have a manual), Charger SRT8, Audi S7, G70, I guess the list goes on. I'm going to look...

    New guy here, doing research on a possible Stinger purchase

    I'm partial to the Genesis. It sounds like you want some sport along with luxury. If you haven't heard of them I highly recommend a used G80 or even a '15 or '16 Genesis. Both can be had with a 420+hp V8 and you can opt to have AWD in the G80. You mention price also which is why I am chiming in...

    Would the Kia Stinger see a second generation?

    Now you're talking! Roll cage, carbon brakes, wing in the back, active aero, it's a recipe for a sub-7:30 Nurburgring time [rockon]

    Drifting an AWD?

    In AWD cars, this is know as powersliding. Just informing you in case you encounter a Nazi when it comes to drifting. Wait... I sound like a drifting Nazi...

    Stinger end up like the Subaru SVX?

    As a Kia car salesman, I can see your initial statement. What the public does is enable car manufacturer's to inflate the prices of their cars. Why? Because we continue to buy cars. That's inevitable. As for the pricing, we are only basing our pricing on exactly that; the competition. Your car...

    Stinger end up like the Subaru SVX?

    But they still want them to sell. With the G70 coming out and it being priced maybe $2-3k more, the justification for the Stinger is hard to comprehend. Plus the complimentary services that come with Genesis. If someone is shopping and looking at the Stinger, it's inevitable for them to look at...

    Where do you see Stinger resale values in 2-3 years?

    I think they'll start at just under $30k CPO with average miles in 2-3 years. I think this is the next steal of the decade just like the Genesis. Not the G80, the "Hyundai" Genesis.

    Stinger end up like the Subaru SVX?

    They'll have to bring the price down if they want to continue to sell. Each model should cut $2k off the price. That's how it should've been from the get go.

    G80 Sport 3.3L V6 TT owner here, Thank you for your pursuit of performance!

    3500 Mile Service

    It's needed if you want warranty type work to be covered. If it's under warranty, which every single Stinger sold to date is, have the dealership do everything. Peace of mind for me. .02

    2.0L Stinger Premium vs base Stinger GT, which would you choose?

    I like opinions that differ from mine. It gives different perspectives. For a car to start at $43k and not have Navigation or cooled seats is a bit off putting. There should have only been one or two GT trims. The "base" GT should have started at $38k and the GT1 should have been the top trim...

    Car you regret selling or trading in?

    1994 Chevrolet Impala SS. She was my first car and gave me headaches, wins, a depression stage, grief, and sunshine. I retired her at 233k miles. She is missed [mecry]

    2.0L Stinger Premium vs base Stinger GT, which would you choose?

    I think I'd go with the Premium. More options, features, and about $6k less than an entry-level GT. Not to mention the resale value will be a bit higher than a GT. Speed is fun and all but we all know about the Hayabusa Effect. If not, take a look >>>...
