Marek Drives Stinger Review

[MelbourneStinger]

Sharing this video review because since i first watched it, it is the only one i have ever seen, where the reviewer, seems to speak more negative on the Stinger and it's features, even the few comments on youtube say he is biased on the Stinger, one example he says " the engine has its work cut out for it " in regards to the weight of the car, then in one breath, he continues to say, it completes 0-100kph in 4.9 seconds, and then floors it. Anyway watch it for yourself, just thinking of his review upsets me..haha.

This reviewer seems to have gone at their review with a desire to diminish the car. The first 2:30 of the video offers no comparison to other vehicles while clearly trying to compare it to higher-end vehicles and packages. After that, things calm down a bit. It's not a U.S. spec car, so it's tough to compare at times.

I have to disagree with what he said about the design from the back. I actually think looking at the Stinger from the rear is the best view.

No sport+ mode here in US like the reviewed car has

It's probably just named something different here right?

This video reviewer says, "In Sport+ traction control is reduced; you can turn it off completely."

I was just reading a Swiss article (orig. French, Google-translated to English) yesterday, and noticed the Sport+ mode comments: "Sport+ mode only disables the trajectory control, which has been necessary to take full advantage of its dynamic behavior on the snow..." (BTW, great photography in the snow, and a cool video in that link. Translation works best if you open in Chrome, and let it auto-translate.)

The Swiss car has Smart, Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+.
The US cars have Smart, Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Custom.

I didn't hate it. There are too many reviews floating around where the amateur reviewers just seems so happy to have been offered a press car that they can't stop praising it. I'd rather see counter-points, even if I don't always agree with their subjective analysis.

Thank you! That sums it up for me.

the Custom setting in the US cars does not have the ability to make any settings above SPORT mode

does the europe cars sport+ mode only keep sport settings and remove the traction control features OR does it more aggressive than the sport mode AND remove the traction control, stability etc??

Pressing the Traction Control Button for less than 3 seconds turns off the Traction Control.

Pressing the Traction Control Button for more than 3 seconds turns of the Traction Control and Stability Control.

Sport+ Mode is just Sport Mode with TC only OFF.

Personally I'd prefer Custom than Sport+ .... and the UK gets +

The reason is that on my F-Pace I had throttle response (ie Engine), and Gear Shift Response (i.e. kept it gear a little long, and down shifted a little more), in full Dynamic Mode (ie. Sport Mode), and Steering / Suspension in Normal (i.e. Comfort) .... this gave me the best of everything for 90% of my driving. When I wanted full sport it took seconds to change, and I only really used a dozen times a year.
