On the verge of buying a Stinger

[Sybaritic]

The only weird thing in the car in my opinion that I wish could be better are poorly calibrated rain-sensing wipers and intermittent wiper frequency

Super thanks to everyone for your replies. I ended up ordering the 2020 GT Limited AWD in Thunder Grey color with red interior. Looking forward to it.

Sweet!

Thunder grey with red is sweet!

Congrats! I'm sure you won't regret the decision.

I like the red leather with the grey. I really wish something in a tan shade was offered to go with my red exterior. Or almost anything other than black - everyone has black.

Fuel tank imo is on the small size , like others I have squeezed 60+litres in it. General fill up says 540km to empty on mixed city/hey driving. I've averaged 10.4 litres per 100km since new. (Use Eco on freeways to keep the average in check)

Cargo liner is on the small side but keeps the odds and ends static.

Bottom line you'll have no regrets.

Thanks again for your comments. Much appreciated!

That's the exact car I got, purely bias, but I think that's the nicest combo

Late to this thread, but you will get used to the smaller tank...it's not like its so small that you'll have range anxiety or anything, it's just wee bit more tiny that other sedans. At first it will seem odd when the tank comes off empty quickly and the gauge goes down quicker than you are used to. But when you fill it up, you'll realize you didn't use as much. After a couple months, you won't care. FWIW, I still get over 500K to a tank mixed driving, pretty much 600 on a long highway trip....more than enough to warrant a pee stop before gassing up

As for quiet, it is quiet, it is comfortable, it is awesome. If anything I find it a tad too quiet.

I never use the cargo net (still in it's little baggy under the tire cover). I got a small duffle bag that I use, that I got free from when I bought a bunch of protein and crap at Popeyes LOL..... it just so happens to nest in perfectly in the passenger side nook/bump out in the trunk. Keep my blanket, road side kit, umbrella and a few other odds and ends in there.

Haven't had to take it in yet, I bought it last November and only have 3000 km on it, but I plan to take in for the scheduled intervals per the manual. Nothing more, nothing less.

I vote you get a G70 instead.

Ouch!!

1) Mine is a daily driver but I don't drive a lot and have other cars that I use so gas tank for me is not an issue (psychologically it makes you feel better to see $68.00 fill up versus $135.00 for RAM 1500 fill up lol)
2) I have been a loyal Lexus driver for past 15 years and although, the cabin is not as quiet, the comfort level is not far off. The driver seat is an excellent fit and has great adjustability but the actual seat bottom, I would not rate the best. Haven't been on a long trip yet
3) I don't use the cargo net because I rarely have anything in the back
4) I would just follow the dealer schedule and that would be it

Good Luck with your decision

What $68 fill up?

Valid! Very valid point. Reminds meof my two year sentence in cowtown back in my youthful hockey playing daysand your right ya gotta pay folks off somehow to live in that god forsaken frozen tundraso cheap fuel what the heck that’s fair, give to them. And welcome back

I think you two spent you allowance on emojis....

One week to go before I pick it up as I had to sell another vehicle to make room for it. Still like reading people's comments though.

And it's nice to live in the province with the lowest gas prices.

Excellent! I hope you're loving it.

I hope the Stinger sells well, but since they are quite rare, they certainly stand out when you see one.

This commercial from 2018 was what really drew me to the Stinger:
