Just joined the forum in order to learn the ins and outs of Kia Stinger ownership. I purchased a used, 1-owner, 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD, with 40k miles on it. Either the previous owners or dealer just put a new set of Pirelli P Zero tires on the car, so that was nice. Looking forward to learning from the group.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I’m glad you found us. Congratulations on your new Stinger GT! What did the Stinger replace for you?

Welcome fellow owner of the best color'd stinger!

Welcome! Did you happen to purchase the Stinger from a dealer in Indianapolis?

Welcome to the hive... and great colour choice ;-)

No, I bought it in Temple, Texas, just north of Austin.

Nice. I got mine 3 months ago in Austin. I got it a week before the dealership was hit by that massive hail storm that moved down I35 and all their inventory was destroyed.
Are you in the Austin area by chance? While I see several Stingers periodically in the Leander area I have yet to see another red one.

EDIT: I say that then run an errand 1 hour later and see another red Stinger on Lakeline blvd. LOL

I live in Harker Heights, about an hour north of Austin. As soon as I bought my Stinger I spotted two other ones driving around town, one blue and the other gray.

There needs to be a 3 photo minimum on this form. Can't get enough of that red, what a beauty!

I got my 18 red GT2 with 47K miles the end of October. Loving the color, power and space for my gravel bike and skis!

Did you maneuver that cargo under the hatch cover? Or did you put it back in after you loaded everything in? I just leave my cover off when putting my bike or similar large stuff in the hatch.

I slide it under the hatch cover. The bike is light so it's easy to meaneuver.

First Stinger sighting after I bought mine, which is the red one in the background.
