Korean review of the Stinger

[hej]

Here's another Korean review of the stinger. Auto translate is pretty worthless here, but at least we get to see:
- a demonstration of the Qi wireless charging (9:25)
- various fiddling with the infotainment
- settings in the computerized gauge cluster at the 12 minute mark, including a race/lap timer and G-force meter (which i found a little amusing), and power output/turbo pressure/etc
- heads up display at the 14 minute mark, with what I assume to be the trip meter, navigation cue, and vehicle speed
- rear passenger controls at 20 minutes in. I hadn't seen the rear seat heater controls until now
- trunk space with seats folded and cargo cover removed at 21:20. trunk doesn't look quite as constricted as it did in other shots
- some test drive footage where i'm a little surprised the guy didn't wreck the car

I found this interesting. I just watched with the volume muted. I stopped about 20 minutes in. I'm sure, very possibly, more interesting if I understood Korean.

What I liked was that the video quality was quite good, so it was possible to see more interior details. I would have liked if they'd shown even more.

Oh man, that 21:20 shot is the first I've seen with the seats down and the cargo cover off. I've got so much gear for work and always refused to buy an SUV, but not having the constraint of fitting long object through the hole going into the cabin would make my life just a little more pleasant.

in these videos, you can always tell when the driver is about to kick it. The speedometer is suddenly covered. In this one, it happens at 30:37.

Nice! They had some videos of the 2.0T as well...

I was really set on a blue one since I love the Corsa Blue paint on my Optima, but the red interior on that 3.3 video on that channel has me thinking red/red is the way to go. Can't wait for the USA Kia site to get their configuration tool up.

Wow, this is the first Korean version to have real English subtitles!

Just curious (please forgive my obsession): earlier videos of Stinger (not sure GT or 2.0L) showed compass bearing in the rear view mirror. This and a couple of other videos don't show the compass. Is it likely that a compass is not an option in Korea?
