New Stinger w/Winter rims/tires

[narsnail]

Picked it up Saturday morning, 2019 GT in Canada (Ontario). Was a Kia Corporate car and it has a touch over 26'000km. Coming from a 2006 Civic Si, the torque is so glorious.

Just clarifying, the GT in Canada is actually the GT1 trim in the US?

Welcome to the forum.

Does the GT in Canada have a sunroof? There are only three trims in Canada. So, I'm thinking that the GT is sort of a combo of the GT and GT1 in the US.

Thanks everyone!
I have a sunroof and wireless phone charging(which is kind of stupid since it doesn't work(yes its turned on)), couple extra power options for the front seats.

Do you have the Harman Kardon 15 speakers surround sound? If so, then that would pretty well equate the Canada GT with the US GT1.

I'm honestly not sure, guess I'm going speaker courting(counting* Im taken sorry speakers)!

Welcome.
Nice colour.
In Canada, your model is the top of the line GT Limited AWD and should have the Harmon Kardon 15 speakers (including bass under front seats) plus all the electronic gizmos (HUD, LKA, intelligent cruise control, cooled seats in front, heated seats on rear, etc etc)
What that equates to in the US, I would guess is their GT2. But I defer to other better informed peeps.
Welcome again.

That's pretty close. I do know that MY18 GT2 also had auto opening hatch and headlight auto dimming and tracking, and of course Napa leather. Starting in MY19, 360 camera was added (optional on GT1? I think so). Now, the GT1 is a lot more like the MY18 GT2 was, including standard "electronic gizmos"; which makes me glad I don't have a new GT1. Hah.

So no 360 camera, only the 9 speaker system (which sounds ok but its nothing special), no cooled seats, no rear heated seats, no HUD.

So it seems its a base GT with a couple extras. I was just curious how it lined up; I'm coming from a 14 year old Civic Si with messed up synchros among other issues, I'm overwhelmed at how much better it is in every way.

EDIT: Figured out how to add pics to the OP, thoughts on the rims?? Toyo winter tires as well.

great colour choice BTW... Rims are quite nice for a winter setup! ...18's?
Where about in Ontario are you? - there is a few of us here

 

[narsnail]

I think they are 18, not 100% on that though.

I'm in London, haven't seen another one yet!

Like the wheels. So, basically your GT is like a US base GT, but with a sunroof. Interesting.
