Would you sell your Stinger and buy the new model now?

[Soca Boy]

Nope, lots of add-ons and mods I still want to do. I sell for a 2019 then do the same for the 2020?

No need to trade in for us Canadian owners. The GT Limited has everything. I find it really interesting how many package options are offered on the US spec Stingers. Not sure why Kia does that? The top 2019 US spec Stinger has just caught up with the Canadian Spec GT Limited. Nothing new in the 2019 model other than re-packaging. I kind of like how us Canadians don't need to pick packages, rather one package has it ALL.

Haha yup! We Canadian's got the best version of the stinger I'd say.

We've got to be a close second, though the initial price was a bit on the high side. Still we got most of the bells and whistles. No uvo or mood lighting , and no need for heated steering wheel. Gladly we don't get that stop start thing either.

Nope! Super content with my Stinger. Would've loved the 360 camera tho. The new model doesn't change much from current one?

I look forward to what they have in store 3 years from now, when my lease ends

That was my reasoning that decided me to lease; turn the car in, start up a new lease. But the privilege of leasing for 36 months was going to be in excess of $4K, which I did not understand going in. So I decided that if I have to get a 2021 Stinger, I will pay myself the saved money to sell the car (a chore that I greatly dislike; another factor originally making me decide to least).

Ignoring all other posts so I'm sorry if I repeat something but...

I like the idea that my stinger gt1 was one of the first ones sold in my country and only the 3rd one sold in my city . For that I will keep it like an old man holds onto his racist thoughts! Close and forever. LoL

So you are saying that the dealer was mistaken about curing the noise?

If they can’t fix it there’s your answer; sell it and buy the 2019 model. The car is too good to give up after one shot.

@westcoastGT I'd be all over those careless people! Point out the obvious screw up crap they did to your car FIXING it!? Raise hell! As Oliver said, the car is too good to give up after one shot: in this case, some noise, and now some blatant damage. Kia is our friend. I believe that. Go through them. Point fingers. Share pictures. Make NOISE! It will all be good. You will gain satisfaction in the end, and may the end not be too long in coming to you. Amen!

Thanks Brother ! The frustration is their (Dealer) lack of objectivity and honesty ..............I wasnt even off the dealer lot when I could hear the sunroof creaking , yet the summary on the invoice stated " Test drove vehicle when cold and warm and unable to hear any noise coming from the vehicle . No abnormal noises heard " NFF Unable to duplicate Customers Concern at this time ....................I'll research who I need to raise this with at Kia Canada.........................stay tuned

I have blue with the light grey interior. Looking at Kia website, it appears to me they removed the light grey interior, or any light interior from the GT2 color options. That's a non-starter for me. Here is LA, dark interiors are just too hot.
