• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Hey,

Just bought mine yesterday. Ceramic GT1 (stock) with red/black interiorIMG_0843.webp IMG_0853.webp
 
Welcome and congrats! It’s been very lonely for the past 7 months for me here. Haven’t even spotted any other stingers before. Do you know of any car shows, meets, or other events that go down here? Let me know if you ever wanna meetup and I hope to see you around!

Yeah I haven't seen many around my area either. I'm down in Gilbert, and not into the car scene as much as I used to be so I'm not sure about shows. I'm also new to Arizona in general, just moved here in December.

What part of town are you in? Apparently there is a facebook group and a few other members on here. I saw a post from a few months ago talking about a meet in Scottsdale.
 
Oh I thought you were in Maricopa too.

Oh, I didn't realize there was a city separate from the county. My bad haha. Still new to AZ.
 
Hi people! I just bought a used 2018 Stinger Premium 2.0t in early June. I don't see a lot of them and when I do they are usually GTs. So, I don't come across much about upgrades or reviews of the 2.0 turbo car. Love to hear if any of you have that engine and have any upgrade to talk about. It's a bit laggy and could overall use more power so I'm trying to decide what chip to go with.

Welcome to the forums and to the Stinger owners club haha. Unfortunately I am a GT1 owner so I don't know much about the upgrades for the 2.0T, but there are some helpful threads on here to get you started.
 
Chiming from in Avondale, AZ. I bought a 2019 GT1 in Panthera Metal on saturday. got it after my insurance totaled my wrx. Only thing I miss about the WRX was the exhaust and the AWD. But so far loving the Stinger. Have the going to rebadge it soon, just waiting for everything to come in before starting. And I agree with everyone, not many stingers around here in phoenix area. I've seen maybe 4 in the last year

Good Sunday afternoon from Gilbert. I just bought my GTS a week ago. Love it so far. Would love to see any exhaust mods if anyone here has done anything. Cold air i takes as well.

New 2019 micro blue GT owner here in Chandler. Will post a pic or a few here in a bit.

List of future mods is constantly evolving, but growing longer by the day.

My wife works with the owners of one of the valley Kia dealerships and we’re tossing around the idea of starting an “official” Arizona Stinger group. Any input welcomed.

Thanks and let’s make sure our Stingers get out and breathe this nice “cold” Arizona air while it lasts...
 
Hey everyone, does anyone have a front lip on their car? if so, how is holding up with the different inclines with entrances? I fear of the different angles the entrances are to parking lots and such.

thanks
