You must call me before renting this vehicle at [Number redacted for privacy and security]. Right, first-things-first: I’m sure that a lot of "brand snobs" (sorry, but you know who you are) will turn their nose up at a Kia. No, it’s not a BMW or Mercedes, with all the ‘status’ that comes with the great German luxury brands that the Stinger is competing against. Honestly, that put me off just a bit at first. But if you can get past that – if you are truly buying a car and not a brand, I don’t why anyone would NOT want this car. I started researching cars over the winter. Wanted to move up to at-least an entry-level luxury brand e.g., Audi A5 Sportback, Infiniti Q50, etc. I started reading the great reviews for the Stinger. Took the V6 GT2 AWD for a test drive and I was blown away. The power/acceleration (wow!), handling, braking, and overall performance are fantastic. The interior build quality is excellent. And hatchback/utility, and 4-passenger room of the car is a real plus. Kia snagged stalwarts from Audi and BMW to design and engineer this car, and it shows. They made a point to say they built this as a GT, and that’s what I wanted: a car to cover long distances quickly, in comfort and in luxury. My wife and I are “empty-nesters”. We take plenty of weekend getaway trips, and I use it as a daily commuter. Or, if I just want a lot of fun, put it in Sport mode, find some twisties and some open straights… it’s a blast! The car is perfect for us. And, by the way, it gets a lot of admiring looks from other drivers
