Well guys I just got back from my 2hr drive home in my new stinger and wow.. that’s all I can say.. first impressions are incredible.. it’s way better in person .. can’t wait to drive it more!,
I have ceremic coating going on next weekend.. tint and debadging is already done.. the dealership did a great job fixing the paint issue under the back badge.

A couple of early things I noticed:

Sport mode is a good sound, the other modes are very quiet.
In my old bimmers, sport mode cancels our the auto stop features, but in the stinger it doesn't, it still shuts off in any mode you select,, disappointing.
Seats are super comfy.
The low end torque is incredible.. even with awd it spins the tires!
This is my first Kia infotainment, and I will reserve my review on that till I can play with it more, but first impressions are good.. very fast.
Heads are turning a lot !

One thing I found interesting when I was doing the paper work as the dealer said there is only 150 stingers for the Canadian market? This is the first I heard of this.. if that’s true our cars might hold resale very well. He told I could sell mine for a profit tomorrow if I wanted.. Hell NO!,,

Thanks to everyone on this forum..posting helpful tips.. I felt like I had the car for years when I hopped in.. lol

I will only attach 1 pic.. since it’s the same as a few others that have posted.. Snow White Pearl with red interior and stinger badging.

I will need a fix for the Kia badge in the steering wheel.. it just doesnt do it for me.. is everyone just getting stickers for now?

Nice ride, enjoy!!
There is/was way more that 150 units. The location I now work at has units 4 and 5 coming in soon. There was/is more than 400 as there is 80+ dealers in Canada.
 
Congrats! Thinking of doing ceramic myself. Got a quote for $900, seriously considering it.

Hey Kevin congrats on the Ride !


There is a button below the shifter to disable the auto stop start feature!
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Thanks guys, I am very happy with the car! Especially since I usually buy suv’s!!!
