Australia-Specific Kia Stinger Discussion

We got a Cerato Sport for the missus at the same time as I got my Stinger. She loves it. The lady who lives over the road from us also loved it and went out and bought one too.

That's awesome...how much?

We also got a Cerato Sport for my wife around the same time as ordering the Stinger.
I personally like the look of the Mercedes A250 AMG & I have no idea if they are any good....lol

As in what did we pay for the wife’s Cerato? 2018 SWP Cerato Sport hatch. About 21K from memory.

Looking at cars for my Mrs....she is keen on Kia Cerato gt at 30k brand new but I'm making her wait until g70 comes out overwise maybe a Volvo sedan haha what are the other cars you have in the family? She was really wanting an Audi but got disappointed when we saw them in person at a dealership...

My Hubby drives a little Cerato hatch, just base model because he drives to Melbourne all the time for work and wanted something small, reliable and economical, it corners like it's on rails , he drives it like a damn rally car around corners and makes us nervous.
My daughter has a little Hyundai Getz and that runs off the smell of an oily rag, it's kinda annoying when she's complaining about putting $30 in to fill it for the week, whilst I spent about $90 which lasts week and a half.

Hyundai i30 and Ford Fiesta sport.
Going from the Fiesta to the Stinger is like jumping off a pony to sitting on Clydesdale.

Everyones got a Cerato, damn where's my wallet

Hahaha thanks everyone.
Not sure if it would be worth getting the sports + over a gt due to the engine difference...apparently the Kia turbo needs a service every 10,000kms as opposed to the sport + that isn't turbo and requires every 15,000kms.

I would have thought it would be like going from a pony & jumping on Winx, bloody Clydesdale like getting into old Series Landcruiser...lol

The i30 N line series is quite good, in fact it has a better finish than the cerato but has the same engine. A little more expensive . Go for the model below premium. Seats in the i30 are softer and more snug. I only know this cause I have been checking them out recently for my wife.
G70 will be dearer than Stinger.

The GT is the only one to consider , sport + is very blah.

Ford Focus is another consideration.

Checking out the sales staff too, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, get with the" in crowd", get a Cerato

 

[Ozstung]

The Fords have great leg room, my i30 is really cramped up front. Thankfully the Stinger had some thought built into it. If i hadn't fitted my deposit would have been returned.

Yes I was, she appeared to be very efficient and knew her cars.

 

[Ozstung]

My next car will be small. Probaly a Focus.
