Another New Stinger Owner

[PDXStinger]

Hello Everyone!

I picked up a new Stinger last Monday evening. It's not the one I wanted, but it will be fine for a few years until I can get the V6 Stinger. So what I ended up with is a Snow White Pearl in the base model with a 2.0T. Have already installed mud guards, and have a set of floor mats on order. Love this car, and it's power... with great fuel mileage. Been getting 27.7 mpg so far.

Looking forward to learning new things about our beloved Stingers from you all!

Congrats and welcome! That 2.0L should keep you plenty entertained for a few years!

Welcome John! What did your stinger replace?

 

[TXGT2]

Congratulations @PDXStinger! The chassis along is reason enough to buy. Please that 2.0T is no slug. Way to go!

Welcome John! What did your stinger replace?

I started out with a 2014 Kia Soul with the six speed. Traded it in because it hurt my knees sitting in traffic. Got a 2015 Soul with an automatic. Then traded that one for a 2016 Soul Exclaim. It was pretty nice, but lacked the Harmon Kardon stereo system I wanted.... So I traded the Exclaim for a loaded 2017 Soul Plus with the Harmon Kardon stereo. This sound system is the best! My wife got a new 2016 Optima EX the same day. A year later I took a new Stinger GT2 with the twin turbo's out for a test drive, and was sold on a new Stinger. Best Kia I've had yet! Looks, runs, and is a blast to drive! I really like the Snow White Pearl color too!

Welcome and congratulations!

Nice! The 2.0L has quite a lot of grunt, had mine for 2 days now and haven’t even needed to go past 3K rpm to overtake. Snow White Pearl FTW!

Welcome aboard, John! Thank you for signing up. And congratulations on your brand new Stinger! Like others have said, that turbo four is no slouch! I'm glad to hear you're loving it - and I'm sure you will continue to do so for years to come. I'm glad you found us!

Hello!
Yes, I am loving the Stinger the more I drive it! What an awesome car from Kia! I believe if people test drive this car... they'll want one too!
I wanted to try one last thing to the outside of my Stinger. This is what I came up with. It's only a concept right now, but I'm getting it installed Monday. The stripe is the same color as the vent... then fades to a honeycomb pattern. Looks pretty cool. Will post another picture Monday when I get home. If you look closely... you can see the Kia mud flaps I had installed.

Pretty cool, John. I like the Stinger text on the side - and if it's the same color as the vent, I think that'll look pretty good. Post a picture of the real thing when it's done!

Looks ok but how about this? Look at stripe at bottom door. Zoom in.

I like that stripe, just enough and not too much , and in the right place.

Man that SWP is looking nice! Saw one indoors at the dealer, a polished 2.0T, sharp looking in comparison to the ones outside on the lot. That color is now on my list of choices.

Hello Waynerm002... can never go wrong with a white color car.
