almost 100,000 miles

[Oryan]

This is good to hear. Also, I'll say this about car forums and car groups.. Most people that own this car aren't on this forum and most won't make posts about the car unless something goes wrong. Keep that in mind. Example, my sunroof has been perfectly silent. I've yet to hear any weird noise out of this car. Had the brake vibration/runout issue a while back but I've resolved it and it hasn't returned. If it does, I'm going to just upgrade everything down there anyway.

I have little doubt that people driving the car stock or very near stock will run into many issues up to and past 100k. The real test is going to be the Stingers that see lots of city miles, as they climb in mileage, and those of us that have heavier right feet...and modded Stingers.

For those with mileage over 60K miles, no engine oil burning despite hard driving? You don't need to add more than half a quart between oil changes?

No gasket leaks anywhere or check engine lights?

Missed this thread until the bump from our Canadian friend.

Very reassuring to see!

I plan to keep this car as long as possible. It too is the most expensive car I or anyone in my family has ever owned or purchased via MSRP... which perhaps isn't saying much but who knows...

Love the car so far but really annoyed by the dealership network haha!

Just hit 100,000 miles on my 2019 and all I have done is a little upgrade- Eibach Pro plus kit and better brake pads. Best vehicle I have ever owned and I was always a Lexus/Toyota diehard. My goal is 300,000

I have had the oil changed at my local shop. My dealer was cheaper for the brakes and eibach kit so I had them do all that work. Doesn’t use a drop of oil and still gets a consistent 25-26 mpg. Best of luck to you!

This is the kind of post I like, I haven't seen to many positive posts on this site. It seems there are many problems with the Stinger when you go through the posts. Stingers with mods seem to have problems which can probably be expected. I still say after 3 solid years of production and the Stinger still has creaking in the sun roof and the hatch shows Kia is not really doing anything to fix this. I do like a fast car but it almost seems like speed takes precedence over quality problem free driving.

You must be new to forums

Understood! Thank you friend!

I’m impressed with your mileage guys! Bravo!

Speed is the easiest feature/upgrade a manufacturer can sell us on. I learned this from my days as a VW sales rep. So yes, there's truth in your statement.
