    Rattles/Tickles/Squeaks: complaints filed, BUYER AWARE

    Doesn't hurt to be a squeaky wheel hopefully you get a good result, but I don't think lemon laws cover rattles. Check out this rattle which was in a previous car 2015 GTI https://youtu.be/emliQUqKCNo took 9 trips to the dealer over 1.5 years to get that fixed. At one point they tried to say...

    How to permanently disable Auto Start/Stop

    I'm pretty happy with the brake pressure solution. If it's a long light and I know it I just hit the brake harder and let the engine shut off. There are some real long ones on my way to work

    Limited Edition Stinger GTS

    They should put the LSD on all AWD models. My only complaint about this car is anytime a wheel loses traction it puts the brakes on. Not good for a 50K car

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    The Infiniti Q50 gets 2 mpg better. I picked that car because one of my previous vehicles was a 2006 G35 coupe. It was rated 19 and 26 I got 23. I looked up the stinger it's rated 17 and 25 and I'm getting 18.6. anyway I'm tired you win The stinger gets the greatest gas mileage in the world...

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    You're not following me. Relative to any other car this car the stinger gets bad mileage. If you had a different car you would get better mileage.

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    ^^^ so you hit reset while going 50mph downhill in eco mode driving from the mountains down to the sea then take a picture. I had a mini cooper 2600 lb car with a 3 cyl which got 32mpg in normal driving. Whatever your doing if I did the same in that car I'd have gotten 50mpg. Relative to...

    Headliner crackle?

    You want to feel better. Listen to this is the sound of my sunroof creaking in the 15 GTI I unfortunately used to own https://youtu.be/emliQUqKCNo Now that is some real noise. In fact I'd say if the engineers goal was to make the noisiest sunroof possible this would be a feat

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    If you want good gas mileage why buy a heavy car with a twin turbo V6? You have to realize that makes no sense. Look at reviews off this site a common theme on the con side is bad mileage. Can you hyper mile and do better than me? Sure but whatever you do you'd do better in another car

    Given where you live save 2000 and 200lbs get RWD

    2.0 Engine, possibe over heating issue

    That's amazing the car went from being overheated needle on "H" to normal engine temp in 1 minute. Oh wait no, that would be impossible. Maybe your gauge is broken

    Anyone tried taking their AWD Stinger off-road?

    I like my car so NO

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    In mixed driving not much traffic I'm getting 19.5 mpg. 30mpg??? not in real world. Maybe if you hit reset and track your miles when you are cruising like a granny on the highway. Probably have to be going downhill too. I was only getting 32 in the Mini that I traded in. It was 1400lbs...

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

    If your pocket book says you can only afford the 2.0L then don't test drive the 3.3. I did and to tell you the truth if I couldn't have afforded the 3.3 I would have bought a different car. I wouldn't have been happy with the 2.0 after driving the 3.3

    Differences between AWD Eco, Comfort, and Sport modes

    I wouldn't say the AWD system is a high point of this vehicle. Seems like anytime a wheel breaks free the traction control just puts on all the brakes. Kills my joy so I do a lot of button pushing every time I drive. Switch the mode into custom, shut off the auto stop and shut off the...

    Has auto insurance been excessive with the GT2-Big engine?

    I had a 2015 mini cooper replacing it with the stinger cost me 240 extra per year.

    Paint chips

    I had an i06 nfiniti g35 coupe. Just happened to have a clear bra installed. Didn't even realize it till after the purchase. Here is the thing after the car was 7 or 8 years old my neighbor backed into it. then she wanted to pay rather than run it through insurance. It didn't look like...

    What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

    I test drove both too. Ended up going for the V6 because after driving it I would not have been happy with the 4 cyl. Is there such a thing as a V4? I think it's a straight 4.

    Are you a male or female Kia Stinger owner?

    Shouldn't you have a 100 different options. Better get on it before the antifa show up and smash your skull
