    Drag race: Stinger vs. G70 vs. Q50 hybrid

    That G70 is quick! I think that will be 0 to 60 in about the 4.4 to 4.5 range with the quarter mile coming in the high 12's to 13 flat. The Stinger is about where I thought it would be. It would be nice to know if the Stinger used launch control or if it was power braked, etc... The Q50h was...

    2018 Kia Stinger vs 2019 Audi A7

    If it looks like that, it will be fantastic! I'm really going to have a hard time deciding what color to get. Silky silver, charcoal grey metallic (if available), dark blue, light grey metallic or the red metallic. I'm sure I'm gonna piss off the salesman with my indecision when the time...

    2018 Kia Stinger vs 2019 Audi A7

    What color is that Stinger color and will it be available in the US??? That is a great color silver if that's what it is.

    Kia Stinger Winter Tire Thread, Lets hear what you think

    If it doesn't come with some kind of High performance all season tire, I'll be putting one on. Either from Micheline, Yokohama, Perelli, etc... I have to do some research though.

    What's your favorite exterior feature on the Kia Stinger?

    I too love the rear hatch but I thin the front and side look the best.

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    I can't answer since KIA hasn't officially said what colors will be available in the US. That being said, of the colors I've seen so far, I like dark blue, light grey metallic and red. I would love to see a charcoal grey metallic and I think I might also like silver if it's not too light.

    Who plans on ordering their Kia Stinger with AWD?

    I think they don't like it because it adds 150+ pounds of weight to the car and gives the car more understeer, whereas the same car without AWD has a little better balance, is a little lighter and more fun because you can get the tail to step out....ON A DRY RACE TRACK. And all that's fine but...

    Who plans on ordering their Kia Stinger with AWD?

    I'm getting AWD for the 3.3TT. Of course I need it for driving in the snow in the northeast but I don't only look at awd for driving in snow. In addition to also being good in rain and other slippery conditions, it's also great for off the line acceleration when a car has a lot of power. Also...

    Blacked out chrome trims on the Kia Stinger

    I personally don't like it but I am seriously considering painting the side view mirrors body color.

    Tall Buyers beware - An FYI

    I'm 6'4" and 220 lbs. I sat in a preproduction Stinger during one of the auto shows. I only sat in the front drivers seat but I had a lot of head, leg and lateral room and had no issues getting in and out. I didn't sit in the back seat but when I looked, it appeared that an adult could sit...

    Carbon fiber dash trims on the Kia Stinger GT?

    In S.Korea, there's a carbon fiber trim package for the exterior as well as the interior. The chrome trim around the grille is carbon fiber and I think the side view mirrors are carbon fiber as well instead of chrome. Faux carbon fiber that is. From what I understand, the interior carbon...

    Stinger GT AWD full review by Car and Driver

    Not a bad review. Still pretty good. It seems their main beef is with the rear suspension on mid corner bumps. I wonder if this is a pre-production car they tested? C&D may have tested this a while ago and just now released the test results because of a journalist embargo. I think that's...

    LAP3 USA Kia Stinger Tuning

    Anyone remember the V6 Mustang guy who removed the speed limiter on his car and then did a top speed test? I think there might be a youtube video on it. Apparently he was over the 120mph limit and his drive shaft let go. It wasn't pretty... The engine and transmission in the new Stinger...

    Kia Stinger gauges up close

    I would prefer an all LCD guage cluster myself but I do like this setup as well. It's simple, informative, versatile and it looks good. It's amazing how many companies STILL screw this up! I was just reading a review of the Cadillac ATS-V and I can't believe the guage cluster they're STILL...

    LAP3 USA Kia Stinger Tuning

    Great power gains! It's easy when you have a turbo set up. But if you add a ton of power, beware of the weak links in the powertrain and strengthen them.
