What are the Best Stinger Features?

I 2nd this

Best feature? Is owning it....I just love this car....period!

performance obviously, but if we're talking about small things. Apple carplay /w waze on a nav screen at eye level is a million times better and safer than using my phone for nav, love it. The puddle lights that automatically turn on when I walk up to the car? Oh come on, you so fancy. I didn't realize that the side mirrors tilt when you reverse in this car, amazing feature for parallel parking so you don't curb your rims. The seat and steering wheel moving out of your way is nice, also unexpected. These headlights are out of this world.

But probably the most important thing, I absolutely LOVE getting into this car every day.

Nappa leather seats so damn comfortable.

 

[Schpok]

Ventilated seats for damn sure


power combined with gas mileage and of course the looks

360 camera kicks ass, makes parking in my tight garage soo much easier

Lane keeping assist is amazeballs on the highway too, pretty much steers it self.

I'm still going with looks.....

It's a Stinger (KIA!?). Still not sure this isn't part of a surreal dream. I'll wake up and start telling people about how I owned this amazing car, by Kia, that was "offing" Bimmers, Audis and Mercs, even Porsches, not to mention muscle cars of all sorts. People listening to my detailed dream will just laugh, "Yeah, right!"

But here I am tapping away, and just outside the nearest wall stands my favorite earthly object, a new object and reflection of my affection; almost perfect in its lines, appointments, performance, everything. Thinking about getting in and driving is always a favorite thing to do; the reality backs this imagining up, every time.

Part of the fun is the loaded features nature of the beast. I've never had any of these creature comfort features in any car. Climate control? (Old school AC, literally "hands on", no comparison). Music and surround sound with mega bass? (Heh, "stereo" cheapo speakers). Navigation? (2006 Ford Fusion, enough said). Performance? (I laugh hysterically). The list is much longer.

It's the CAR, the whole thing. I've never been more pleased with a material thing in my life.

I like the combination folks mentioned - most specifically GT looks (low slung, long hood, fast back), power and practicality of a decent back seat and hatch - fuel economy too. We avg 27-28 yet this vehicle is our heaviest, largest and most powerful sedan.

If more sedans were designed like this, they'd sell more!

heated seats/wheel, 360 camera, gear selector by wire are all on my minivan so don't seem novel though some of those features are nice. I think of Kia as the brand that gives you lots of those features for a good price. They could have done more so (like the canadians get), but still a good package overall. Definitely one of my best cars ever

I think your car needs a bath........

The hatchback configuration. There are better cars in the traditional sedan format, but nothing with a hatch comes close to this this for value.

I still think it's a trunk with a window in it........lol

Getting a hockey bag into a traditional mid-size trunk can be a bit tricky, not because it wont fit, but because the opening isnt that large. This is especially true for cars that have a short deck lid. The fact that the trunk on the stinger has such a large opening is amazing to me.

Unique and wonderful, to me. I came directly from a minivan. And the size-down to the Stinger's deck opening isn't that dramatic when you lower the seats. For carrying most things (including my bike) it is comparable.

Hockey bag(s) are no joke, neither are golf bag(s).......Wifey said hold off on the cargo mat.....x-mass??
