Ottawa area stingers

[Al Othaim]

Hello everyone, not an owner (yet) but love the way these cars look. Especially the blue! I've seen a few around Barrhaven and can't stop staring every time I see one. I currently have a Focus RS. Here to learn more about the Stinger and maybe pick one up down the road!

Welcome ...I chose mine after test driving the Infinity Q50S, C43, and a second hand Audi RS7. I initially picked the RS7 but it was priced at 88K with over 50,000km on it...Didn't make sense, I drove the Stinger twice that day, I was sold....went to the bank and withdrew 20K down on it ....and the rest is history, its definitely an amazing car.

Stinger over the RS7....now that's a huge compliment to Kia!

The RS7 was also my go-to car, but when you think about it, Stinger--$40K less than the used RS7, a brand new vehicle, zero mileage, a 5 year 100K km warranty, with every bell and whistle and electronic doo-dad imaginable---VERY understandable!!

A new RS7 in Canada--pretty much a $150K car

Spotted a black Stinger yesterday at the Algonquin College outside the police foundations building.

Red Stinger parked next to my black one in Barrhaven last Friday. Was the first time I’d seen a red one in real life.

Please! I must, let me know when you have installed, hard to tell how anything sounds from videos. I'm torn between borla, ark, and stillen (though stillen sounds stock, but can't argue with Dyno results).

Looks like we'll be twins. Just got a white Stinger, rebadge scheduled for this week, and I'm also in Nepean.

Where does everyone go for drives? I feel like I want to open it up a bit but I'm always scared of getting a ticket.

Where are you getting it rebadged?

The guy at the dealership has a shop that he deals with that does the rebadging and they did the tint on the windows as well. Badges hadn't come in by the time I picked up the car so I'll have to go back. I'll get the info and pass it along. Cost was $200.

Hi Patty, Which dealership did you deal with? I am looking at purchasing a GT Limited in the next few weeks.

Hey Garbear, I dealt with Liam at Donnelly Kia in Kanata and was really pleased. He seemed to know a lot about the Stinger and wasn't pushy.

I had gone to Kia on Hunt Club and wasn't too pleased with the service. We weren't looking to buy right away so he didn't want to take us on a test drive, then after finally letting us go on a test drive, he was really pushy about the sale (despite us saying there were other cars we wanted to test drive). He also didn't seem to know much about the car.

Might have just been that one guy, but Liam was a refreshing change anyways. Plus he seems to have good contacts with the garage that does a bit of the custom stuff (badges, tints, etc).

Deposit put down a ghost grey GT limited... never thought a black friday deal would be what it took for me to bite the bullet haha (live in limoges, work around billings bridge though).

Black stinger mingling on the freeway today on here?

 

[Garbear]

Decided that Nepean needed another white Stinger GT Limited. Picked it up last week after waiting for the FC04s to come in.

Carleton Place, white stinger waiting on some snow tires to come in!
Looking forward to daily driving this new tin can!
