Hi. While in the process of buying my wife a Picanto recently I discovered the Stinger. Can't believe I've only just noticed this car and its being discontinued this year. I'm currently constantly watching every YouTube video and will be looking to buy one in the next few months so thought I join this group to do my research. The only negative I've come across is the 6 monthly service. I have no problem completing basic servicing myself, oil filters brakes etc. I haven't decided on which engine yet. I hope to be able to keep my old diesel Insignia for long journeys so was looking at petrol , maybe covering 5000 miles/year.Any advice on running costs would be appreciated. Thanks

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I’m glad you found us! You’ve come to the best place to research the Kia Stinger. It really is sad that so many people have never heard of the Stinger. Kia did a great job with the car but an absolutely abysmal job marketing it.
