Mate , I drove this car last week for 210 miles and it's absolutely brilliant !! I can feel it in your voice the way you are talking, that you don't really like it , but this is a brilliant car from every point of view ,and more reliable than a BMW aswell . There is a very good saying : it doesn't matter who you were , it matters who you are , and I don't care about BMW's history if at the end of the day it goes home on a platform , but a KIA is more reliable and this one has brilliant driving dinamics , so leave the crap aside and face it , it's a great car and yes , it can compete with BMW ;-)
I was looking at getting a BMW 4 series grande coupe but this stinger is starting to change my mind. It makes the 4 series look dated especially the interior.
How often do you have to refuel? Going to have to take a 1200 mile drive in a couple of months. I have been reading that it's bad on gas but it has a 15.9 tank.
This car was built by the top engineers at both Audi's S line and BMW's M performance division. It's a fantastic car for what it is and has a 10 year warranty!!! This car is the true Supra successor. The aftermarket is also picking up.. Folks are doing the quarter mile in 12s now with some close to the 11s. This car will see 10 second quarter miles reliably and be able to drive to work, get groceries etc! THAT is what you're paying money for... Not just a badge on the car. Of course if you just need the badge, the competition is available and will suit those needs just fine. BUT if you want a fantastic car built by the best in the business for under 60k fully equipped, the Stinger is the best choice 👍
Yes, the bias is certainly loud. I wonder how he would talk about this exact same car if it just had a German badge... You can certainly hear him downplay many qualities due to it being a Kia. Not very professional or enthusiastic about the actual car I think, it's more about the brand name? Kind of dents the credibility of this guy for me a bit. Two years have passed though, I hope he would not do the same thing nowadays.
Bruh I personally find the sound this car makes to be so good. Like, amazing. It's actually impressive taking into account it is a Kia, and I just say that because I have always found Kias to be just humble cars.
Agreed. I reckon when any reviewer struggles to give the Kia the praise it deserves - it's not that they have anything against Kia - they are just more upset how much they over pay for their German "bragging vehicle"
@@SAM15BFR This car was built by the top Engineers at BMW's M and Audi's S Line performance divisions lol It better be a great car. Imagine all this performance with a 10 year warranty... Thanks Kia...Neither BMW nor Audi can claim that status either
You can change nearly all options, including start/stop chimes in the steering wheel controls. All Kia/Hyundais offer control over chimes, lights etc in settings 😉
the problem is that the other brands are seen as status symbol, that is far more important for people. they can make a car superior in every way to the other brands and people would still not care because the brand kia is not an status symbol.
99,000 euros, hell, that's $NZ175,873. Here in NZ the Stinger is priced from $54,990 to $69,990. That's the price of a Audi A3 2l, a Bmw X2, a Jaguar XE 2l, or a MB A-class. $175k will get you a Amg E53 or Amg C63
Love the KIA Stinger GT, we have one as a shop car and with bolt on's we have managed 400 WHP so far. Its been an amazing value that responds even more amazingly to the mods we have added to it!!!
When going well above 150km/h, air gets extremely thick and passing through it requires lots of power. Any imperfection in the car's aerodynamics just creates more and more drag. The fuel consumption figures at high speeds is well in excess of 30-40 liters per 100km (6-7 mpg, even less). No wonder the Veyron for example can completely dry it's 100L tank in 10-12 minutes at top speed. Every frickin' minute, ~10 liters of fuel is burned away.
I did a little research, most BMW owners sell their vehicles after 18 to 24 months because BMW's are just too expensive to maintain. (And I love BMW's). Don't believe me, you have the world wide web, look it up for yourself.
Not talking about this specific Kia, but I know a number of people that have had serious problems with their Kia's, to the point they've sold it and moved to another brand. Seems if you want a Kia to last, you must get the really basic ones.
@@sparkyUK I was a mechanic for 15 years, I don't need all the senseless stuff, when I was growing up, we had to roll windows up by hand. The more BS you have the more likely for something to go wrong. Haven't had a single problem with mine but it's only got 36,261 miles on the odo.
Absolutely stunning car from a Korean manufacturer used to making regular daily drivers. I would never have thought I could have such a performance and comfort from a Kia. And so, I bought a Stinger GT2. I love it. The only thing I dislike, is that I live in North America where there is no autobahn.
@@elstingergt3374 It's illegal to have those things here (in Canada anyway).

Why so harsh on the car? It proven its place in the market and it already has a huge fan base, for a first model that's honestly impressive. And we can't forget the price sir
Day two of owning one. Happy as punch. Walked past an Audi A5 Sportback. OK, nice interior, but boring as hell on the outside and zero goodies to play with for more quite a bit more money. And apart from grinning Stinger owners, no-one is looking at it.
It actually drifts well, in sport + all the power goes to the rear, so you can drive it as an awd and also as a rwd. The Stinger optionally has a Bastuck Exhaust system with valves. It’s one of the loudest V6‘s I heard after opf. The interior got updated, you now got a larger and better screen, Velours leather and red stitching. GPS 0-100 4,5 sec and top speed is actually 290. (speedometer) For 56 k is a steal, if you compare it to f.e. German premium brands like BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc. for me personally better than the S5, C43 and M340i. (price-performance) My first language is German so sorry if there are any mistakes. Have a good one y’all
İsa Kadıoğlu same my mother got the 2.0 litre crdi 184hp once we have done a 300km run at lower speed cruise control at ~115km/h most of the time it was 7 litres but at 130-135 it goes up to 10+litres i think
Really good for KIA I used to have the Ceed's GT and it was a beast indeed But it definitely need more time to gain the needed reputation in Europe especially when they no longer offer "good price" cars. Can't wait to hop on one of these :v
At the start this guy tried not to like the Stinger but the more he drove it he liked it more and more. Pity the EU pricing is too high. This is actually a great car.
Very nice car review. Good job, buddy. You didin't mention about LKAS, cruise function and emergency stop, etc. It's very comfortable than competitors for long distance or heavy traffic situation. Anyway, thumps up your good job!!!

please help, can someone explain why cars come with crap lcd screens? Why would you put a non-upgradable super cheap monitor in the car when an extra 100 euro would produce much better results? Makes no sense why you would skimp on the very thing that is in the drivers face whenever they are in the car.
Gear box is good for me. The DSG in VW's are sodding annoying around town. Dumb as a bag of spanners. But for pure acceleration, yeah a DSG is better. But I'll take this gearbox over a.....entry level DSG. And the torque has peaked at just above 6k RPM so your not missing out on much.
A fantastic car. Yes fuel economy isn’t great but for those speeds who cares so much when you’re getting a car kitted to the max as standard spec- the Kia GT S, and a 7 year warranty. What you pay at the pump more often is for me a decent trade off for the price, quality and warranty. You don’t see too many on the roads either, but thousands of mundane BMW 5 series, Audi 4 series as so many are leased or company cars. Be bold, be Kia 😁😁.
I'm not a fan of the current infotainment screen or tablet stuck in the dash look. Even on high end cars it seems like they all of a sudden realized they forgot to put one in the cars and were to far into the design sooo Plunk. Done.
Great car but massively let down by horrendous fuel economy and CO2 output. 15% improvement and this would be a viable alternative to German marques. Battery located in the spare tyre well means LPG conversion (to deal with poor mpg) is a pain too. Would buy one if these issues were rectified or mild hybrid system integrated or even just battery moved to enable LPG conversion.
I thoght Sweden was going cookoo with the 1500 Euro tax per year for the Co2, but you get hit at purchasing in the Netherlands?? It's almost twice the price.. :o Such a shame, best winter car I've ever had up here in northern Sweden, the AWD just digs the chassis through the snow, where 4 by 4's have gotten stuck.
Adelio Leo there's Korean vids of it already, people say the same about my q60rs, Mines awd and I've raced 2 other rwd ones from a dig and from a roll, I pull every single time.
Awd is not ment for this car.. they probably made it to handle winter here in us other countries got rwd . This car should ONLY come with rwd anyways.. rwd faster in corners and straight because of almost 200 pounds it saves. Anyways if u want awd get Audi , evo, sti , other awd crap
jeeps accelerating to 270 from 180, and keeps continuing to talk casually like a vine tasting event, THAT IS NUTS EPIC!! XD XD. he doesn't just have balls but has ball-bearings.
For the people wondering why.. This car has 145%! That's right, a 145% taxrate in the Netherlands.. It goes from 40.000 euro KIA is asking for it, to a wopping 99.000 euro incl. tax.. So you pay more tax on this car then it actually costs.. That's the Netherlands for you as a car country, hell-hole for carlovers.. Respect for these AutoTop guys being successful as a car channel in a anti-car country like that (although obviously this channel is now more international)..
Ask our government.. They invented this so called BPM tax which is based on CO2 output of the car (which get added to the already pretty high 21% VAT tax).. And this Stinger GT with it's "oldfashion" V6 produces a lot of CO2 output, so the BPM tax on it is enormous.. Our government think it needs to take a "leading role" in the "war on climate change" with this.. That's the excuse.. Like it's gonna help if you're the only country having the tax as such a tiny country and car market.. It's basically just a screw over the working class people by making cool cars totally unaffordable for them.. In reality it just one of the many 'we need money' taxes to pay for our very generous social security and healthcare system.. The car is a very easy and political correct target for this kind of tax.. Plus there is lobby from lease-companies going on who profit from the current tax rating on cars because more and more people start leasing instead of buying.. Almost 50% of all cars sold in The Netherlands is leased already (privately and business) and this number is still growing.. Not long to go before most of the new cars are leased and not actually bought by the user.. We're just getting royally screwed..
LINK DO NOT WORK (as always...) to Montar phone mount. What is this scam dude? Every video you upload I can't get into the website, it's not hosted properly.
WoW,,, I really didn't know this car had/has this much fans according to the comments here. Hmmm, I think Stinger is well priced(not in Europe) sports sedan for new and returns it's performance as a second hand used car with lots of tuning potential. Looks great, practical, and have a decent performance to follow up the look. So sad Kia is going to stop producing this well valued car.
Hey so the price is around the same in Norway, good to know we are not alone with the ridiculous taxes. Though you guys at least get some decent roads for those taxes.
I tend to dislike the Dutch accent and this blend reviewer... Mr. Powershhh I love Gooold... The car is for the American market, where turbo charged petrol engines are NOT the norm, that's why the red Turbo sign, there it costs around 35 000 dollars, this car atually has unbeatable quality-performance ratio in the States ....
Yip , it will not even break down as much as the alfa, nor will it cost as much as the alfa to service, and, the seven year bumper to bumper warranty is just no match for the alfa's 3 year warranty.

Awd is not ment for this car.. they probably made it to handle winter here in us other countries got rwd . This car should ONLY come with rwd anyways.. rwd faster in corners and straight because of almost 200 pounds it saves. Anyways if u want awd get Audi , evo, sti , other awd crap
Great video and excellent review.
jeeps accelerating to 270 from 180, and keeps continuing to talk casually like a vine tasting event, THAT IS NUTS EPIC!!
XD XD. he doesn't just have balls but has ball-bearings.
You can actually see the fuel gauge drop quite quickly. 14:31 compared to the end of the video hahaha
7:27 I think he meant North Korean state music when he said: STATE MUSIC
A Kia Stinger GT on Dutch plates.. That's gonna stay rare..
For the people wondering why.. This car has 145%! That's right, a 145% taxrate in the Netherlands.. It goes from 40.000 euro KIA is asking for it, to a wopping 99.000 euro incl. tax.. So you pay more tax on this car then it actually costs.. That's the Netherlands for you as a car country, hell-hole for carlovers.. Respect for these AutoTop guys being successful as a car channel in a anti-car country like that (although obviously this channel is now more international)..
inflatable2 Huh, why is the taxrate so high for this car?
Ask our government.. They invented this so called BPM tax which is based on CO2 output of the car (which get added to the already pretty high 21% VAT tax).. And this Stinger GT with it's "oldfashion" V6 produces a lot of CO2 output, so the BPM tax on it is enormous.. Our government think it needs to take a "leading role" in the "war on climate change" with this.. That's the excuse.. Like it's gonna help if you're the only country having the tax as such a tiny country and car market.. It's basically just a screw over the working class people by making cool cars totally unaffordable for them.. In reality it just one of the many 'we need money' taxes to pay for our very generous social security and healthcare system.. The car is a very easy and political correct target for this kind of tax..
Plus there is lobby from lease-companies going on who profit from the current tax rating on cars because more and more people start leasing instead of buying.. Almost 50% of all cars sold in The Netherlands is leased already (privately and business) and this number is still growing.. Not long to go before most of the new cars are leased and not actually bought by the user.. We're just getting royally screwed..
@@inflatable2 LOL....
@@AKdsad100 I don't think it's funny at all, it sucks.. Me as a car lover was born in the wrong country..
Great video. Thank you! I'm shocked!
The KIA Stinger is based of on a audi A7
And the KIA Proceed is based of on a audi RS6
Already subscribed you channel. I Like your review!
KIA is coming up. Is genesis its own luxury tans now or is genesis still under the Hyundai badge?
LINK DO NOT WORK (as always...) to Montar phone mount. What is this scam dude? Every video you upload I can't get into the website, it's not hosted properly.
well you can turn off welcome sound from the cluster’s setting menu.btw i am so enjoying your reviews.
Built to last thats a quality car. Europeans dont build cars to last anymore , its a shame
Very nice channel ! Thanks you man ! ;)
Great video.thanks.
The stinger gt taillight has smiliarities from Honda Civic type-r fl5
0-100 takes 75% of the speedometer, WTF?
I was thinking that as well lmao.
WoW,,, I really didn't know this car had/has this much fans according to the comments here. Hmmm, I think Stinger is well priced(not in Europe) sports sedan for new and returns it's performance as a second hand used car with lots of tuning potential. Looks great, practical, and have a decent performance to follow up the look.
So sad Kia is going to stop producing this well valued car.
I love your channel I love your videos
Really really good car
Hey so the price is around the same in Norway, good to know we are not alone with the ridiculous taxes. Though you guys at least get some decent roads for those taxes.
In Sweden we pay only 55,000 .- euro! :)
nice video, but Stinger is not the first RWD car in KIA, K900 is that. might be made in 2012
I tend to dislike the Dutch accent and this blend reviewer... Mr. Powershhh I love Gooold... The car is for the American market, where turbo charged petrol engines are NOT the norm, that's why the red Turbo sign, there it costs around 35 000 dollars, this car atually has unbeatable quality-performance ratio in the States ....
And its easy to tune too!

Is the Stinger as refined as it’s German rivals at high speeds like 220kph and above?
It’s so smooth it doesn’t feel like you’re goin 220kph.
I'd love to see the mortality rate if Australia had roads like this
Our country is full of inbreds and it would be absolutely catastrophic if we did.
Dude at 9:30 i thought that car was gonna hit you haha. Imagine that kinda road in Amercia? Lol
17:23 Why are those people parking there?
17:38 what the heck was that? 60 to 100 instantaneously?
I looked up some stuff about the gearbox and it is a zf gearbox by bmw?
No its developed by Kia itself
What a beautiful place!
The fuel needle moved 2 notches in the high speed test.
Max I feel you don’t like this car, nor do to be honest, keep up the good work
I don't think you can compare an Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio to this, mostly because there aren't aspects in wich the Stinger can beat the Giulia
Yip , it will not even break down as much as the alfa, nor will it cost as much as the alfa to service, and, the seven year bumper to bumper warranty is just no match for the alfa's 3 year warranty.
7:34 i dont want to listen to the Korean State music 😂😂😂
At least it's South Korean!! But yeah you can turn it off thank god.
Wow. The wide angle lens is giving me a headache.
10:24. "Ooof, I'm trying to keep it clean. I don't think I succeeded." No you didn't, but lorry and trailer will make you go wherever it wants you too!.
In Sweden Kia also offers the diesel Engine.
I have one, i drive 9 days on full tank!
Head camera shakes too much. Try to stabilize it more, or don't use a head camera.
the concept of the engine was taken from mitsubishi hyundai also uses the engine in santa fe
Which Mitsubishi????? Genesis G70...maybe but Santa Fe...no...unless the Santa Fe has a Twin Turbo SUV model I call BS
Wacht, zegt ge net dat het motor geluid door de speakers komt........
South Korean state music hahahaahhaaha. Dude that was hilarious.
Its better than North Korea anyway! :)
The steering seems to shake when it goes fast and seems noisy
