The side vents acutally do work, the airflow through the front end cools the brakes and exits through the vent behind the wheel. But yes the ones on the hood are fake, if it really bothers someone, drill some holes in it and bam it does something
I am a huge fan of the stinger and just test drove one yesterday actually. The one thing I disliked was the fake vents. I think it really takes away from the rest of the car. Other than that amazing car
Thankfully the aftermarket support for the vehicle is growing fast enough to replace the hood with one that has real vents if it's an apparent deal breaker. I've owned mine since December 2017 and I've been told by my Kia dealer that the support for this car is getting pushed hard for parts. SHouldn't have a problem finding a new hood, maybe carbon fiber with real vents now or in the near future
great review, thanks for your honesty I have been looking at this car for a while and love the red leather interior now just need to convince the wife that she needs one
The first 1:40 was amazing, the editing and the scenery was 11/10. I had to stop the video to comment that and like it before continuing. Edit: the rest of the video was great as well, rip the drone
This video deserves a like for the intro on it's own it was bloody epic, honestly if you hosted your own car program I'd say millions would watch it because you're that good at what you do. I've watched your channel since day one, and you've come a long way well done seb.
My god Seb the videography in this video is insane, really enjoyed this one! Loved hearing you talk about the Stinger. I'm a Kia driver and just upgraded to a Kia Cee'd 4 platinum pack and love it! Keep up the good work!
Your ability to grab the attention of searching for a drone and then doing the car review was fantastic. Sorry about the loss of your drone. At some point you can always attempt a second rescue of the flash card. Great work.
Great review man. I have a GT2 here in the states and I agree with pretty much everything you've said. There are lots of bolt on performance options and about 8 different types of exhausts available for those that might think this car isn't taken seriously in the performance department. These things are quick :)
Seb, I just happened to find this video. Great review, thoughtful content on this car. I was "on the fence" with this car due to I currently drive a CLS63. After seeing them in person in detail I'm impressed. Kia is very high on the reliability ratings as well. Subbed.
The shots are incredible!! I love the opening shots. Plus the music at the beginning I was singing along! Loved it and that Kia is incredible I love it!! Underrated as a car
OMG this is like a professional Hollywood x 10..... totally blown away by the intro and editing!! Excellent work man....I love how you show my city - LONDON !!!!!!
Funny, I'm thinking of replacing my 2008 Subaru Outback with this car. The outback makes 175hp and gets me 22 mpg average for me in mixed driving - it's ancient 4 speed automatic zaps gas like you wouldn't believe in city driving. I get 26 MPG max average on a long highway trip. I'm pretty sure I'd average about 22 or 23 MPG in a Stinger based on what I've read. Slightly more for Premium fuel but it would make up the cost difference on trips. A good car is a good car!
Why are people in the UK so freaking nice. Like seriously, No one in the U.S. would lend someone a kayak or hand someone some food and water like that.
Dude I don't like you... Or I didn't... Until these last 2 videos. So good man. Different to the other car you tubers who are all pretty much white noise now! Nice work man. Good come back.
wait wait wait wait.. seriously... twenty two thousand views..? only?? wow... we need more youtubers like him .....damn... bro you're leading this industry! (respect) (nice car bro im gettin genesis g70)
Keep up the good work, Seb. Quality content like this deserves way more views than you are currently getting. Viewing numbers do not reflect the video quality on this channel lately. Which is a shame, but don't let it put you off.
GTIracerr this is what I want. I don’t care about 5 things u hate about the rx/7. I want to go on the adventure with u Seb. May the drone Rest In Peace. Keep up the good work.
Seb Delanney your doing it right brother. I love that you took us with u to hunt for the drone. Take us on your adventures. That’s what we want to see. Well done. Can’t wait for the next episode
Seb Delanney Ouai perd pas la motivation Seb, pour une dizaine de hâter y'a 100 qui aiment ce que tu fais. Et franchement vu la qualité de tes vidéos tu ne mérites pas les pouces rouges.
Nice Video Seb... but don't try and pick holes in the "touch of some surfaces" when the car is sold at an "everyday price" for everyday people. At the price you are always going to have "plastics" in the cars interior.
For the love of god, I hope you kept the car cleaner than in this video most of the time. The Stinger is far too beautiful of a machine to be that dirty.
I have GT1 from US and no automatic lift gate. Such a shame. I couldn't find the color and interior I wanted in GT2 which is the only GT trim with it if I'm not mistaken. The GT-S trim looks like a fantastic option.
These Stingers are German engineered. The car was engineered by a former BMW M Vice President of Engineering. Pretty sure there is purpose behind the use of these vents, such as cooling? So I guess the vents on the BMW M3's M4's etc... are fake too. LOL
Does it has a manual mode for the gearbox? I was not able to find that function when did the test drive and it got me completely dissapointed. A disobeyed gearbox is just enough to avoid considering a car, no matter the price, the performance or the looks. And even worse for rear drive.
I just don't understand why in UK this is called GTS when everywhere in the world it's simply GT. If Kia one day decides to make a even more powerful version and call it GTS worldwide, what is Kia UK going to call it?! GTS Plus?! GTRS?! Kia UK likes to complicate things... 😜
This is a German mistake actually. We need a car not a plastic rubber. We know the price is fabulous, but it is really rubbish cheep plastic assembly. BMW and Mercedes has a quality plastic and materials plus engineering performance. Kia life is short after 5 years you will get lots of problems. Because, it is not a just design of body or Shane 🚗. Quality first, safety and security , comfortable and price of curse . Thanks In my 4 year experience, Kia rubbish customer service and support in UK.
Options: 1. If you paid Oscar for his work doing this video let him pay for us own drone 2. If a collaboration at least pay for half the drone. Asking your followers to buy one shows u as a cheapskate.
I live in the United States. It’s like the 2013 optima sxl I used to have. I have a 2013 F150 right now with the 5.0 V8. I wish they made a diesel option for the stinger
Intro is too long, thought I accidentally clicked a music video
No kidding. 5:20 long intro is no bueno.
5:25 for the review.
Thanks!
shakenator92 Thank you. I hated the music and the crying over the drone.
Thanks
You life saver.

im sure someone will make aftermarket real vents for the turbos
Annnd screw up the airflow under the bonnet as designed by the engineers.
great review, thanks for your honesty
I have been looking at this car for a while and love the red leather interior
now just need to convince the wife that she needs one
MY CAR IS STIGER!
Thank you from Korea♡
The first 1:40 was amazing, the editing and the scenery was 11/10. I had to stop the video to comment that and like it before continuing.

Thank you for the kind words!!
My god Seb the videography in this video is insane, really enjoyed this one! Loved hearing you talk about the Stinger. I'm a Kia driver and just upgraded to a Kia Cee'd 4 platinum pack and love it!
Keep up the good work!
LOVE THE VIDEO! car is mad aswell!! keep it up man! the quality is insane on this one. too bad you dont get the reach you deserve!
I agree with a lot of the other comments, quality is great, I look forward to seeing your videos more now. Great job on all the videos lately.
Your ability to grab the attention of searching for a drone and then doing the car review was fantastic. Sorry about the loss of your drone. At some point you can always attempt a second rescue of the flash card. Great work.
Video quality has come a long way since 50k subs. Props!

great job! keep it up mate. i loved everything about it. everything was on point. and it's a fine looking car. what a marvelous job by kia.
The shots are incredible!! I love the opening shots. Plus the music at the beginning I was singing along! Loved it and that Kia is incredible I love it!! Underrated as a car
Glad you enjoyed it!
Seb Delanney I did! And I did laugh at you doing it in your pants! Now that’s dedication
My only concern is parking and manoeuvering... I am from UK too so did you find that was a chore in busy places?
OMG this is like a professional Hollywood x 10..... totally blown away by the intro and editing!! Excellent work man....I love how you show my city - LONDON !!!!!!
Hyundai i30 N next please
The vents near the tires are actually functional. Only the ones on the hood are fake. The vents help cool the brakes.

Dude I don't like you... Or I didn't... Until these last 2 videos.
So good man. Different to the other car you tubers who are all pretty much white noise now!
Nice work man. Good come back.
Nice opening Montage, Seb!
wait wait wait wait.. seriously... twenty two thousand views..? only?? wow... we need more youtubers like him .....damn... bro you're leading this industry! (respect) (nice car bro im gettin genesis g70)
I Owen stinger too 2018 red color I upgraded and installed body kit she looks damn lovely
amazing video editing!!!! love the new look. keep it up!!!
Music is spot on. 18 minutes really well spent, keep going and don’t let the low view count stop you, it’ll pick up if the quality stays this good
TJK 100% agree! Fantastic quality videos coming from the channel!
Keep up the good work, Seb. Quality content like this deserves way more views than you are currently getting. Viewing numbers do not reflect the video quality on this channel lately. Which is a shame, but don't let it put you off.

Et franchement vu la qualité de tes vidéos tu ne mérites pas les pouces rouges.
totally agree... i subbed off the intro alone... song was fire!!!!
Excellent vid...likely trading in my '15 Nissan Maxima for this Stinger. Great looking vehicle and impressive performance. Keep up the excellent work
Nice Video Seb... but don't try and pick holes in the "touch of some surfaces" when the car is sold at an "everyday price" for everyday people. At the price you are always going to have "plastics" in the cars interior.
For anyone wondering what the name of the song is it’s Don’t Fall Asleep by The Seige
Side air intakes are functional... they are placed there for aerodynamics enhancement and also for brake cooling
Really good video Seb!
Insane video Seb
Thank You!
All these past videos from Monaco where it seems surreal, hyper cars everywhere.... never thought I'd see a video in Dorset :O
😂 expect the unexpected
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the cinematography
No.
great stuff man....keep it going !!
Those opening credits. Sick.
Wow it has a boot open button...like my mk2 focus, kia cerato koup, skoda fabiaRS....amazing.
For the love of god, I hope you kept the car cleaner than in this video most of the time. The Stinger is far too beautiful of a machine to be that dirty.
The editing is cool I thought this was an ad for a movie trailer or something when it started
Haha saw first car review with boxer, anyways good job dude... great review and you covered all about the beast very well, love Kia Stinger...👍
Dude they put the steering wheel on the wrong side! I’d take it back to the dealer and get that repaired. 😲😉
Can we see some more Monaco based vlogs? Maybe pool vlogs? Great content, keep up the good work!
That London montage at the beginning of the video was top notch!
Amazing shots!
I have GT1 from US and no automatic lift gate. Such a shame. I couldn't find the color and interior I wanted in GT2 which is the only GT trim with it if I'm not mistaken. The GT-S trim looks like a fantastic option.
That intro is just amazing!
"Directed, Filmed & Edited by Seb Delanney." How did you manage to film yourself in the intro whilst holding the camera?
great video seb!
Editing on point yeh!
The big question is would you buy the car over again knowing what you know now?
Excellent review! I live in sunny, snow free AZ. Would you recommend RWD or AWD Stinger GT?
Did you guys know their valves are sodium cooled..that's fk amazing ..
These Stingers are German engineered. The car was engineered by a former BMW M Vice President of Engineering. Pretty sure there is purpose behind the use of these vents, such as cooling? So I guess the vents on the BMW M3's M4's etc... are fake too. LOL
dj got us fallin in love
An excellent video and great editing
came here for kia stinger gts review, got a travelling vlog
Wow... im glad i came across this video.. .you've got my sub!
Does it has a manual mode for the gearbox? I was not able to find that function when did the test drive and it got me completely dissapointed.
A disobeyed gearbox is just enough to avoid considering a car, no matter the price, the performance or the looks. And even worse for rear drive.
Alfs Awful but how do you prevent to randomly and automatically get back to auto?
I just don't understand why in UK this is called GTS when everywhere in the world it's simply GT. If Kia one day decides to make a even more powerful version and call it GTS worldwide, what is Kia UK going to call it?! GTS Plus?! GTRS?! Kia UK likes to complicate things... 😜
I only wish it came with a Dual clutch system. But to be fair I've been seeing the 8 speed is decent for it
Very nice video, I too tried the car when it came out really like it amazing car from Kia weldone .
my lord, i know it has active lane keep, but keep your hands on the wheel!
Boxer shorts? I’m surprised. I would have pegged you for a briefs guy.
Yup I was thinking the same thing haha. I bet he normally wears tighty whities.
Team Y fronts haha you guys are crazy
CadillacCole true fans would know lmao
Don’t quit man, things will bounce back up
Once you buy the 458...
I hope that’s soon! 😂
I think it's a young American war veteran's car. I don't know. It just looks the part. He'd wear baseball cap and everything.
You can't get a rental boat ' because it's not summer ' lol nice video for winter tho ,Stinger looks wicked
Im from the usa and that car has a 10year warranty here but why that have a 7yr over there..?
It's not summer? wtf when was it filmed? it's July....
His car has red leather?!? I’ve got the same car but the American version does not have the option for red leather with the ceramic grey color.
FrozenPotato I have a 2018 GT2 in ceramic silver with the red interior.
The Kia Stinger's main competitior is the S5 Sportback, not a Panemera.
в следущем году хочу с женой на ее stinger в Норвегию съездить))
The build quality of the car is what lets it down
Oh how you have fallen from the top of the hill, a few thousand views per video now from what used to be one of the best supercar vloggers our there
We can’t get a boat because ‘its not summer.’ It’s July!
It sucks that they delivered the car to you in paint primer and didn't put the colour coat on.
Hey David Angelo.. Did you have anything to do with this? Great call if so. Hope you are doing well. Big love and hello from San Francisco.

4:02 tea bag action 🤣😂🤪
This is a German mistake actually.
We need a car not a plastic rubber. We know the price is fabulous, but it is really rubbish cheep plastic assembly. BMW and Mercedes has a quality plastic and materials plus engineering performance. Kia life is short after 5 years you will get lots of problems. Because, it is not a just design of body or Shane 🚗. Quality first, safety and security , comfortable and price of curse . Thanks
In my 4 year experience, Kia rubbish customer service and support in UK.
awesome intro!!
Excellent video buddy
How’d you get Kia to lend that to you
Those side vents are funtional they let airflow around the side of the car.
Great video!!
Is this a drone review?
You not think that the drone has gone out to sea ?
What brand hat do you have on in the beginning?
Are those wheels scraped up?
How's the interior noise?
is it fitted with a gaydar as standard
That's quite a nice car BUT why the hell not buy a 2-yr old Maserati Ghibli instead? Roughly same price...
MrSubaryta hmm how about cost of ownership and long term reliability?
Is there a Stinger in this video?
This dude is strugglling. Daddy's cut off the money. Paid ads for Kia...how the mighty (ha) have fallen.
Great vid! You should do more reviews in your boxers :P
Go on Seb. Buy Oscar a drone.
I agree 100%
I sense some team work coming in here. I shall not give in to peer pressure 😂
Options:
1. If you paid Oscar for his work doing this video let him pay for us own drone
2. If a collaboration at least pay for half the drone.
Asking your followers to buy one shows u as a cheapskate.
Not trying to be rude here, but are all British Car TH-camrs doing a 5min+ intro? Seriously, this is the 5th or 6th one so far....
I live in the United States. It’s like the 2013 optima sxl I used to have. I have a 2013 F150 right now with the 5.0 V8. I wish they made a diesel option for the stinger
Nice. But I think I’m more into the Genesis G70
