one of my favorite things about this car....

[Doel]

The speed, handling, exterior, interior, that's all great, but I think what makes me love it all so much more is that you can get that entire package while being able to go to Home Depot, find a killer deal on a grill, and bring it home without having to rent a truck or leave to borrow another vehicle and come back and get it.

The trunk is amazing with seats down

no kidding, the guy that was helping me load it said "uhh it's going in your car? I don't think it's going to fit..."

I got to use the line "watch this" on him, it was great. It fit easily, wasn't even tight.

I haven't tried it, but I think that two people could fit two bikes with front wheels removed; lay a blanket between them; stick the pedal of the top bike inside the frame of the bottom bike. It should work.

My favorite thing about the Stinger is the feeling I get that I could just keep going, nowhere in particular, for a long, long time, and not care where I am or where I am going. Contentment. And running errands or going shopping, which used to nearly always be annoying, now are "excuses" to go drive my car. When I am waiting in my car for my wife to come back out of a store, I am content with my surround sound and perfect climate.

All of this...every single bit.

I went to get a soundbar w/subwoofer for my TV...instead I got that AND a new 65 inch TV. We were in the Stinger. My wife said we need to go get the Sorento. When they brought the TV all boxed up out I said, 'um, watch this...' The surprise look on her face, and the faces of the guys who brought out the TV, were awesome as we slide it right in. One of the guys said, 'that car is AWESOME!' Then I put the big box the soundbar came in back there too. I got in the car and drove away laughing.

I dislike giant SUV’s, crossovers, trucks, and minivans. Thank you Kia for offering practicality in a car.

 

[SKStinger]

It’s pretty remarkable.

I fit all four 19” stock wheels in boxes with the seats down and room to spare.

I have never owned a car that could accommodate that.

Nice choice of grills. I’ve always had Weber grills. They’re well made.

Guy I bought the 4 gt tires and wheels from (staggered btw) all taped and ready to ship via freight, brought them up too me in his stinger.......plenty of room to spare.
But the best thing I like ,by far, is the interest from bystanders.....hands down.

The trunk was an important selling point for me. I wanted to be able to load a grill, 4 camp chairs, food, coolers, 2 tables and more for pre-game tailgating. The trunk does that and more!

I’ve always liked cars with large trunks or wagons so I can pack in my photography gear when I have a shoot and need to take the lighting equipment with me. This car has loads of space and I love it!

I’m a photographer too, I brought a light stand to my test drive as a trunk space test. It passed!

 

[Waynerm002]

LOL! You know, that's a great idea! I typically shop for cars with that in mind even though I don't do a lot of shooting these days. I just love that the Stinger came out and is so versatile. I still would like a V60 though but it has to have a quieter interior than Stinger since it is supposed to be a luxury car now, they need to make it feel like one.

Thanks! I've gone through two gas grills in the last 7 years (bottoms rusted out, Charbroil and Nexgrill) I decided it was time to get something that would actually last. I once had to carry 4 tires in my last Maxima, no box, it was a huge pain, I had to put them in the back seat standing straight up.

You’ll easily get 7 years out of this one and then some if it’s well maintained.

I’ve had to cram tires into the back seats too in other cars and it makes me cringe.

Weber is a great grill. We have switched over to Napoléon grills now and love them

Da faq... how did a 15 reply thread already get derailed to talk about BBQ equipment?

 

[robz32]

100% agree. The trunk space was one of the main selling points for me on this car.
