New Kia Stinger Owner

[Bobmx50]

Good morning all, and Merry Christmas! I have a 2021 Kia Stinger GT that I bought back in August. Came from an Audi. Other previous cars have been a Ram 1500, Cummins 2500, WRX and an STi. Stinger hands down has been my best vehicle. I love the RWD and the power it has, makes it so much fun. I'm from Virginia Beach, VA.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us. And I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Stinger ownership. Which Audi did the Stinger replace? Was your WRX STi stock or modified?

Audi A3. My STI was built up pretty good. Rallispec shortblock, cosworth pistons, arp head studs,dom3.0 turbo, FMIC tuned for 93 octane. etc etc. Transmission was stock. Reliability of the STi was very poor, seemed it was getting worked on more than driving.

Sounds great but I know how that is. And the more power you put into it, the more unreliable in can get... I think you'll find the Stinger to be a much more reliable car - even when modified...

Nice pictures. I have that exact same console cover. But, the steering wheel? You must have big hands. Hah.

lol I have small hands. Quite a difference in size but more comfy and adds a bit of sportiness to it.

No question, it'll prolong the life of your OEM leather, especially if you wear rings.

I can never get it straight in my head re: model designation vs. Canada.
Is the GT RWD the 4 or the 6?

Hey @Bobmx50,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your Stinger!

That looks great so far, I love the Alcantara center console.

Let me know if you need anything aftermarket or OEM!
