I understand the "KIA" emblem made you say "near premium" but after stepping foot in this car and driving it, it is definitely a Premium vehicle which already surpassed Acura and Infiniti

This cars handling was design but the ex head of BMW M devision, and the interior was design by and ex audi designer, this car is german with a KIA badge. I don't care about that, if you are going to use ideas from other companies, why not take from the best. My friend just got a 2019 Stinger GT2. We drove it for an hour to a city. And I got a loan Infiniti QX50. I will say the materials are roughly about the same between 53K and 65K. The kia stinger has body role but the car handles it to avoid harshness incase you need to take your parents to dinner and there is construction, you won't hear backseat complaining. But on the way back, he got tired it was about 3am when were driving back, and the kia literally kept him from driving off the road and hitting cars in front. (disclosure: he does not drive tired on purpose due to the driver assistance, but exhaustion hit him. Always be alert when driving.) but in the event where you feel tired and it's unavoidable, this car did incredible. Kept us in our lane, prevent us from hitting cars in front of us. And the sound system, sound better then my in my infiniti. Overall, this will be my next car. No one is going to get this car and i like that. I HATE "me to" cars.

When I test drove a Stinger, the two things I didn't like were the brake pedal travel and the gearbox not staying in manual mode. A lot of reviews mentioned those issues too. I liked everything else though so I ordered one and when it arrived, both of those things have been fixed. A recent firmware update lets you stay in manual mode and Stingers built after Mar 2018 have improved brake pedal feel. So impressed! Well done, Kia.

A 20k car usually has no whining noise. 53k is not small change. If fact, most smart people with money would not spend this on a car, especially a KIA with it's legendary poor resale...which is a fact! Not an opinion. He's holding the KIA up to the same standards to everyone else. I think Carlos was actually easy on his review of the Stinger.

Carlos Guevara A 20k car doesn't have Michellin pilot sport cup 2s on it. Do you think it's a coincidence the only time you heard the whine is when the camera was right next to the tire? Also most smart people with money dont buy a car for resale value. As a matter of fact if you are smart and have money you dont buy a car period because 99.9% of the time it's a terrible investment. Also if you are going to bring up resale values I am not sure who you comparing too, because the luxury cars this thing competes with have some of the highest depreciation rates in the industry, with the exception of maybe lexus. Oh and then there is the true cost of ownership, which again would be a very unfavorable metric for the competition of the stinger gt. Smart people with money would probably consider that too.

So conclusion, I would buy it, specially AWD version. When you search for Kia Stinger VS? You will find that this car is pretty fast and faster than other brand names that cost over 80K.

I really like the Stinger and while I'd want the GT2 it would either be used or with a lot of incentives. Buying this at $50k is a non-starter, depreciation on this and on anything Genesis is going to be huge. If you step down to the GT or top trim 4 cylinder how is it? I think the 4 cylinder should compare very well against top trim Camry and Accord.

Stay away from Kia!!!! Kia is most definitely not a premium brand. I took a risk by trading in my BMW for a GT2 and it was the biggest mistake of my life. It's been in the shop for over two months of my first 13 months and counting. First, the spark plugs cracked while I was driving across the country. It was in the shop fo 8 days while they replaced all of the spark plugs and ignition coils. The car has never been the same. Every window, sunroof and hatchback rattles. Most recently, I discovered that my A/C had totally fallen apart and was rattling like a box of marbles. Of course the service manager said that he couldn't hear anything and then said "all cars rattle". Really? which is it? I've owned 10 cars and none of them have rattled. Currently my new Kia is stored on the back lot of the dealer where they use it for old parts storage - over six weeks now for the most recent recall (the car might start on fire if I drive it). The dealer has contacted me exactly once in six weeks to say that they have no update and the VIP line at Kia refuses to talk to me. I'm starting a lawsuit if anyone would like to join me, PM me.

Ok this is why auto journalism has become so boring. Who really cares how fast this car is off the line. How many people purchasing this car are going to red line it at a stop light and then take off and worry about 5 second burn. Kia is smart as this built this car for one reason, to please guys like this reviewer who in turn will tout how Kia has really come of age and in turn will get free publicity and help turn the Kia image around into something more positive. The vast majority of consumers however will continue to buy the very bland and average line of Kia sedans and Suvs. The marketing of this car is thus brilliant for Kia as it is a red herring for the rest of Kia’s mundane lineup. Journalists like this one take the bait and the rest is shall we say show biz.
