New Stinger Owner

[Astro781]

Hello! I picked up a slightly used 2022 Kia Stinger GT1 AWD here in Ohio over the weekend. The car only had 9k miles on it and I traded in my 2017 VW GTi. I was looking for something that I could daily and still had good performance and upgrade to something that had AWD for the winters in Ohio. I took the car for a long drive out into the country on Sunday and have enjoyed it so far. In addition to the GTi I've had Focus ST, WRX, and 3 different generations of Civic Si in the past. Looking forward to getting some advice on mods for the car.

Looks great (nice pics too). Welcome to the forum.

Sway bars. They completely change the way the car feels cornering, and steering feedback (the car handles well stock, if just feels a lot more planted with the sway bars upgrade).

Welcome to the hive! I highly recommended front and rear sway bars (if they are not already installed) as a first mod

Nice, came from a GTI myself. I miss that little guy. The fun is just beginning with the stinger!

Went from the same car (17 GTI) to the same year and trim of Stinger. Missed some of the "snappiness" of the GTI at first, now I'm just enjoying the power and the cruising on the highway much more.
