    Who's going to let people eat in their Kia Stinger?

    My wife eats in the car when she's alone on the road which is not often. When we are traveling together, I always insist we stop and eat. Nothing is more fun that eating a Big Mac with one hand, dumping "special sauce" on your clothing and leather seats, and spreading sesame seeds and lettuce...

    If the Stinger had an in-dash CD player would you use it?

    External CD players connect via the USB port, very inexpensive, and can be used to upload CD's. I wouldn't want one plugged in playing all the time, but it could be used to transfer music.

    What's your favorite Kia Stinger Color?

    What's with this "sponsored by Ford?" And if this is supposed to be Stinger colors, it is inaccurate because this suggests that only the GT2 comes in red. Not true since I have a GT1 on order that is HiChroma red.

    US Market: Which unavailable feature on the Kia Stinger are you most upset the most?

    In reality, the first year release is a beta-test year. Scatter different features out over multiple markets not not all. Then if something creates a problem you don't have that problem everywhere at once.

    Thinking about a Stinger GT, have one for an overnight test drive

    Don't take our word for anything. Spend some quality time on YouTube and look at professional reviews of the Stinger. Try C&D, MotorTrend, MotorWeek, and any others that pop up -- ANY others. Then come back and tell US what you think. [like]

    2018 Audi A5 Sportback vs. 2018 BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe, 2018 Kia Stinger AWD - Comparison Tests

    The one comparison that I like, MarkyMark, is to look at the C&D reviews of the Stinger GT and the Lexus RC500. You ready? Forget advertised specs except for those things that C&D did not measure. Lexus RC500 - 471HP, 398 lb./ft. torque, 0-60 in 4.5 sec., top end 170 (computer limited)...

    {{ ImportShark }} NEW! Wheel Cap Sneak Peek

    Do these stick on OVER the original logos, or do you have to remove the originals first?

    What is the moneyfactor / interest rate for a single pay lease plan?

    Yes, thank you MurlinatoR. That seems straight forward. I hope they continue that program just one more week into March.

    FS 2018 Kia Stinger GT 2 AWD for Sale!!

    Yes, I'm sure you couldn't write a check for that amount and take the car. Everything is advertised these days in terms of lease amounts and monthly payments. Worth checking out....

    How often do you think Kia should refresh the look of the Stinger?

    The public hasn't really seen it yet.

    Who turns off the Auto Start/Stop feature when they first get in their Stinger?

    The "light foot" on the brake pedal sounds like the solution. I never press the brake any harder at a stop than I need to, and in fact I let the car roll a bit to maintain even brake disc cooling to prevent rotor warpage. My car isn't here for another 3 weeks but the description of disabling...

    Kia Stinger - Motoring TV 2018 Car of the Year

    Interesting to note that the "Performance Car" winner was the Lexus LC500. If you look at a review of the LC500 by Car & Driver (coupe, so it's not a hatchback or fastback or sedan) you'll see the performance specs are virtually identical to the Stinger! It has a lot more advertised horsepower...

    What is the moneyfactor / interest rate for a single pay lease plan?

    I've looked at doing that, MarkyMark. Unfortunately my car isn't due until the first week of March, so who knows what the options will be after Feb. 28. The more I think about it, IF the 0.9% interest rate remains in effect, I think I can come out ahead by leaving the $40,000 invested, earning...

    Lug Nut Size

    Can you pull the lug wrench out of the trunk and check it?

    4 corners

    I was at MSSU before I retired. Nice place to live because there is little traffic and close to the Ozark mountains. Guess it depends on what you were doing.

    Wheel Woolies Brush Stick on Kia Stinger wheels

    Get a couple of bottle brushes from WalMart or Costco.

    4 corners

    I'm in the SW corner of Missouri so not Oklahoma or Arkansas or Kansas, but I bought my Stinger in Arkansas just over the state line. No one else around?

    What is the moneyfactor / interest rate for a single pay lease plan?

    Well, I don't sell cars for a living, but in my part of the world, it is the smaller rural dealer that treats customers fairly. Larger dealerships are typically high pressure, dog-eat-dog competition for the next sale, get that sale before they get away atmosphere. I've been ambushed at the...

    What is the moneyfactor / interest rate for a single pay lease plan?

    Back in the day when I worked for a dealership (late '80's) the floor plan interest did not begin until 90 days after receipt of the vehicle. Cars remaining on the lot after 90 days began to accrue interest from the factory but not before.

    LAP3 Uncle Chip review

    It's not the manufacturer, it's the dealership doing the mods.
