2018 Kia Stinger

What do I need to know on a recently purchased 2.0 base model Kia stinger @ 75,000 miles? What are some key problems or positives on this particular model?

if your car hasn't been modified then the chances of any 'problems' go way down. the 2.0l engine is every bit as solid as the 3.3l, just a bit slower accelerating is all it has more turbo lag. but you anticipate the lag accordingly in how you drive. the car wants to move it isn't underpowered in the least. your without some of the goodies but as for build quality and interior feel no difference. keep up on your maintenance and Imassuming the previous owner did that too, if you researched this on carfax or using the vin, etc.

Ill back @Snicklefritz up on the thoughts.
