Ceramic Silver GT2 AWD since 2/2019. Love it! I'm in the east Twin Cities suburbs (Lake Elmo/Woodbury area).

I've got the ARK GRiP exhaust which I really like too. (

Sweet man, sounds nice. I'm sure I'll see you around. I'm in Cottage Grove from time to time visiting friends. But I put my yellow guy away for the winter.

Thanks much! I like the ARK for the lower growl.

I love the yellow; just wish they had it with the GT2 trim. I'll look for it when it's nicer out.

Saw the first Female driven gt/gt1/gt2 heading south on Hwy 52 in the morning yesterday. I was heading north, noticed that awesome red color.

I saw a yellow stinger with two black racing stripes on 55. Middle aged female lol.

Pretty sure I saw you this morning at the intersection of Mendota and 52. I was in my minivan so you likely wouldn't have noticed me haha. Clean car if it was you.

Not me but thanks for the thought. I did see another ceramic silver in Woodbury or maybe them. Seeing more and more Stingers around.

There's a guy that works at a place in woodbury that has a gt1/gt2 with ceramic silver with red interior. Seen his car parked numerous times. There's a guy that has a 2018 version of my same car but it's got some mods tuned, exhaust, etc. I was behind him on century in Oakdale/Maplewood. He was messing with this black gt350, that Mustang sounded nasty (in a good way).

Man, Stinger's must be finally starting to catch on a lil bit. First time I had one driving next to me this morning on 94 East . Was a white gt1/gt2 with tint. Also saw another Panthera metal by my house, not the guy with mods.

Zero here so far, mainly trucks and crossovers.

If you had to have a dealer do work on your Stinger in the Twin Cities, who do you trust?

Wondering this myself, got about 2500 on mine, wondering where to take it for my 1st oil change.

I’ve been using Kia Inver Grove because of proximity for oil changes and tire rotations.
But when I need the valve clearances checked and spark plugs changed I’d like to go to a location that does a good amount of Stinger work.

I got an oil change and my rear differential replaced at Barnett Kia in White Bear Lake. I would advise not to go there. Nice enough people. Just don't seem super knowledgeable on performance oriented vehicles. I purchased my car, and got a few oil changes done, at Jeff Belzer's Kia in Lakeville. They were better. I wouldn't mind going there for general maintenance. I had my sunroof replaced at Luther Kia in Bloomington and they seemed a little better. Not at Audi levels of service, but not bad for a Kia.

Change the plugs yourself. It'll probably save you a few hundred $'s. If you lack the tools, or confidence, to do them, you could probably get a local Stinger owner to help you out.

I basically work down the street from there, used to go to arrow Pontiac for service so that's what I was thinking as well. Who really does a "good amount of work on Stinger's" though? Stinger ain't like a Kia Sportage or sorento.

That is where I bought mine too (Belzers) but it’s so far away. My sunroof is creaking like I’m walking on hardwood floors so will see what Inver Grove finds.

Point taken with the “good amount” . Very true.

I was going to buy a stinger from Belzers. They seemed ok to work with. They even offerend to deliver the car down past the Mankato area. Ended up going with one local, though, instead. Once I got past the "trained Kia salesman" I was working with and got to know the man, he was a super cool dude. Haven't had to have service yet at the Mankato location. I'll do most maintenance myself.. *fingers crossed*
