KIA Stinger Coffee House.

[heyheyal]

The only thing close as far as being balanced would be a 3 series which I had only ridden in a few times in Germany way back when.........after the mods I did and what I'm running I really don't need the 2 extra cylinders.

Yeah, I see you have done a bit. Any regrets, things you don’t like? Be interesting to see what the refresh brings. I just don’t see Kia keeping this car in the lineup with the new K5 with the turbo 2.5. Why a stinger 2.0 when the K5 2.5 is an option? The hatch? Unless stinger goes electric and then you are talking even more than it is.

Just the paint.

For sure. Too much. But we will see. I get a car allowance through my job so it eases the blow

Lucky you. Ya probably get a fuel allowance as well.

Yeah. I was considering a Model 3 as well. But with a fuel card the difference in fuel economy washes out. Long term the Tesla is a better choice as it retains its value much more. Less maintenance etc etc. but I like the look of the Stinger way more. Driving the 3 next week. Good thing about Tesla is we all pay the same. I believe they just passed Toyota today as most valuable auto maker based on market cap.

Oh and for any of you Canadian’s that might be slurp’in java this morning. Happy Canada Day!!!

Just test drove, and got the typical can we make a deal today. Not even close again. 44 before TTL on a GT1. Not sure this is gonna happen. Drove a 2019 Genesis g70 prestige 3.3. Was 42,500 before TTL. Interior much nicer but like the fastback design of stinger better. Get more features for the money on the Genesis. Genesis felt lighter and more agile. The rear view out the Stinger is absolutely horrible. They need to make a digital rear view mirror.

 

[rocket23]

Agreed about the Rear view mirror. You pointed out why I like the 2.0. Agility. I thought the stinger can never “feel” light. At nearly 4000 lbs avg.

I finally paid off my Harley.....the stinger should be done a year from now.......13 k owed 500 or 1,000 a month oughta do it.

 

[rocket23]

co worker died at work yesterday.....fell out of his seat in the truck and laid out on the floor....no one saw it so everyone saw an m/t tractor and thought nothing of it, His wife couldn't get thru to the terminal and prolly rang his phone again and again , only to have the local po-po make the notification 5 hours after the fact...........I'm really starting to hate the management , they are brain dead. Someone should of realized he was still on the clock and his paperwork not turned in......wtf.

 

[rocket23]

On a brighter note I found the noise off the left side of my bike....simple chrome piece that I just took off, no need for it .......bike is running good finally

 

[rocket23]

I been getting a few e-mails from the dealer I bought the stinger from......I was offered 22,000 for my 2018.....I owe 12k........I gotta tell ya, I don't want a nose heavy 3.3. As much as I would I wont

Sorry I missed this post. I see the stinger doing some kind of hybrid down the road. I don’t know about an all electric model. Thou.

 

[rocket23]
