Where are you in Florida? We are getting together in West Palm Beach next weekend, on Sunday at the Cars and Coffee meet. Check out details on the Southeast Region threads.

You got a good one. Nearly all of them are good.
When you read some of the threads here you'll see that other owners have various issues, mostly with paint chipping/flaking (mostly on the yellow and the blue, with black a somewhat distant third; all the colors have at least one reported paint failure except the Silky Silver: but the paucity of respondents to the poll Paint Chip Issue indicates not a large scale problem). The occasional beef with this or that feature, or a technical issue of some kind, easily resolved, merely points out that the Stinger is a great car but not a perfect one. When I got in one the first time it felt like perfection; and I had to tell myself to stay rational; this was just a human construct. Cars are so well made these days. And the efforts that make up the Stinger are superior to most. Of course, the price partly reflects that; the story of the concept and development of this car says the rest.
The only reason why I didn't get the 2.0 is because I want the horsepower of the 3.3. All Stinger trims are great high performance gran turismos!

Hey congrats, I been with KIA for a while now no major issues with the brand. Stinger is bad@ss, be prepared for all the looks you’ll be getting and gas station talks.

Congrats and welcome to the forums! I’m curious to find out what tires you have on your 2.0t, is it the Bridgestone or Michelin? I’ve seen a video of a base 2.0t with Michelin tires but when they started shipping they came with Bridgestone which are a bit noisy.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you find great enjoyment with your new ride.
I have the Bridgestone Potenza tires. In 2007 I got these on my Nissan 350Z. Truthfully I like them! Noise is not a problem.
