I'd recommend getting the blind spot warning. I was used to a car that had a narrow B-pillar and the Stinger's is substantially larger. I still turn my head and look, but the blind spot warning light gives me extra confidence when switching lanes. That being said, I actually waited until...

Yep, I considered that. But since I never push the car to extreme speeds, I don't see that as a critical issue. I absolutely love the look of the Stinger front-end so my personal preference is to give up a little HP rather than drill holes in the bumper. Keep Smilin' Keith

I added a photo to my original post. Since Texas has started enforcing the use of a front license plate, you can see that I added a Sly Bracket license plate holder to the lower grill. (I did NOT want holes drilled in the bumper!)...

After 2 years of watching and waiting, I picked up a 2019 Stinger GT2 RWD last week (Red with black interior). Local dealerships didn't have any so they had to trade with another dealer who had already added some options. MSRP was $51750 (includes Dealer prep, Hichroma Red Paint, Cargo...

Thanks, MurlinatoR. When I visited two of my local dealers to discuss the December incentives this week, they both showed me a dealer incentive sheet specifically for balloon loans. Comparing the December versions, the balloon loan cash incentive on a GT2 AWD (for example) is ~ $2000 less than...

Thanks, MurlinatoR! Also, I've got a question about the Incentives charts when using a balloon loan. I'd like to get the maximum "lease" cash for a 2019 AWD GT2 ($6500 on the November chart). But one of the local dealers only offered me the loan with $4500 lease cash (using the lower...

Any idea what kind of end-of-the year discounts (if any) I should expect in late December? I'm trying to find a red 2019 GT2 RWD but may have to settle for a AWD....the local dealership doesn't seem to carry many RWD. I'm planning on using balloon financing and transferring the loan to my...

Thanks for the great info. I've been watching the Stinger for almost 2 years and plan to purchase a 2019 model. The news that vented front seats will be available on more of the Stinger models is especially appreciated here in Texas!

The dealer didn't know what to think when I walked in with my clubs....... But I've been waiting to answer one last question......and yes, the Stinger will hold at least 3 (maybe 4) golf bags without laying down the rear seats.

Paint color: Red and Deep Chroma Blue are at the top of my list right now. Can't wait to see all the color options in person. Definitely want the red leather interior. Feels great and looks terrific.

My wife feels the same way....she doesn't want to fall into the seat. Thinking back, it felt similar to my Mini Cooper so I'm convinced it will be ok. It certainly wasn't anywhere near as low as some of other cars I sat in that day.

Woo-hoo! I got to sit in a Stinger! Just joined but I've been watching the progress of the Stinger for a few months. I had a chance to see the Stinger at the DFW Auto Show in March. It turns out that if you arrive at the show as soon as it opens, and you tell the KIA hosts that this is the...
