Decided on GT-2

[SpaceForce!]

Hello Everyone!

I'm Mike and have been looking for the perfect car for me since I tend to keep cars until the wheels fall off. My search has included the Infiniti Q70 5.6L and RS400, Audi A7, BMW E39, E60, E61, and F10. Basically I really like sport luxury and need something with a usable back seat and good trunk capacity. All of the cars I drove were incredible in their own way but the Stinger checked all of the boxes. I've owned Volkswagens and Audis in the past and they always seemed to have electrical issues that were expensive to repair.The biggest factors that turned me on the Stinger were the warranty and the fact that it seems that it would be easier to work on than the German offerings. Also, the performance and the fact that you can get a LOT of car for the money.

I anticipate either leasing or buying early next year and have done a lot of research on lease buyouts. It seems to make more sense to buy new rather than used due to the great incentives that Kia offers.

Once I make the purchase I plan on making some upgrades which include cold air intake, exhaust swap, and possibly a tune. I just don't want to do anything that will affect the warranty.

For now I plan on using the forum to research performance options and learn from the community what to watch out for.

Nice to meet everyone!
Mike

Welcome aboard, Mike! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad to hear you've decided on a Stinger GT2! What might the Stinger be replacing for you?

I'll be selling our 2006 Jetta TDI that we bought new but keeping my 2008 Silverado that was also bought new. Gotta keep the truck!

Howdy. I really liked your intro. My intention is to also keep this Stinger until it dies or I do.

I see you are a man of culture as well. GT2 is the way

I love the feeling when you get a car paid off and it's all yours! It feels like I got a raise when you can take the car payment money and use it for something else.

Thanks General! Now that I think of it the Stinger is great on performance and there's also an aire of luxury and respectability. Kinda like a mullet!
