New To Stinger Forum

I'm working toward a decision to purchase a Stinger GT1 or GT2 in the next 3-4 weeks. Part of my research after a first test drive this past weekend was to see what everyone was talking about and get a better handle on colors and features everyone likes the most. I'm currently in a Audi A6 and have looked at various cars in my search for a replacement for the A6. I was very impressed with the Stingers solid build and on road driving dynamics. I hope to make a final decision in the next few weeks. Thanks -Kevin

Welcome aboard! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the Stinger but go the whole way and get the GT 2. Red seems to be the colour Kia has pushed the most. My personal preference is Snow White pearl. Not wrapped on red leather interior as I am fearful it can stain easily. Have a look at new posts section and you will get the feel. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

Welcome aboard. Isn‘t it a bit risky to wait „a few weeks“? I mean if Kia will really launch the marketing campaigns and broadcast a super bowl advertisement I would expect that the prices (markups) and waiting times will increase.

Yes get in now I’m already having to wait 7 months and I ordered last October!

I don't think so, here in the US the inventory seems to be catching up with demand..

I'm a Stinger fan, but the GT highway mileage is kinda low based on the MFG numbers. Can anyone advise if they are seeing better highway cruising mileage vs. the identified 25MPG highway? BTW, I drive 30K miles per year..a 5MPG difference could cost me @ $1,500 more over a 3yr timeframe vs. a 30MPG highway rating. I know there are many "it depends" but I'm surprised with a 8 speed trans the highway mileage and aero enhancements the mileage isn't a little better.
