"Get ready to grin from ear to ear because what I encountered was a car that felt as if it had a century of racing experience under its belt. Where was Kia hiding all that expertise?
Where the Stinger truly shines is on curvy roads, especially with the heavier steering and stiffer suspension in Sport mode, because new kid on the block or not, this car handles those corners like a thoroughbred stallion, its electronically assisted rack perfectly weighted and sending plenty of feedback with the GT’s agile chassis and muscular Brembos inspiring confidence.
The cabin is as silent as a cathedral, the suspension filters out all road ruckus and the steering, with the car set in Comfort mode, is just as slick as a Cadillac.
Besides being a joy to drive, the Stinger also holds its own against its European rivals in terms of the quality of materials used.
One thing you need to get accustomed to is people throwing you curious looks because the Stinger’s styling is anything but benign. The car’s design language screams speed, while its angry fascia and myriad scoops and vents underline its sporty demeanor.
It’s actually quite the prize – a spacey, luxurious, attractive car that also has as much smarts as it’s got brawn and agility. Not an easy feat to pull off, but Kia has managed it, and in its first attempt. Go figure."
