First Time Stinger Owner

[Garylh1969]

This is my 3rd KIA purchase in a row. I first purchased the 2014 Optima SX Turbo and after that, I purchased the 2018 Cadenza, and six days ago I purchased the 2022 Singer GT1. I bought the GT1 thinking that it had certain features, but I am having second thoughts of whether or not if I should have purchased the GT2 just because there are some features that I was under the impression that came with the GT1, but instead it only comes with the GT2 and now I don't feel as good about my purchase as I did the day I bought it. Just so you know, I have already paid the down payment and signed all of the paperwork, but I am still waiting for it to come in. So, I am up in the air on what I should do at the moment.

Man that sucks. I've been in that situation, where the excitement about picking up a new car dissipates when something about the car or deal isn't what you expected.

That's a lot of money to spend on something you're not sure you'll be happy with. Are you 100% set on the 22 model? Any chance your dealer could work something out and get you in a better equipped, leftover 21 GT1 instead?

Whatever you decide, good luck to you.

I see you have two different posts regarding your concerns, and that your other post actually mentions the issues as being the sound system and ventilated seats.

#1 I have the base GT with the 9 speaker system and it is more than adequate, very good actually so for me it was a non issue.
#2 I had a Taurus SHO with ventilated seats and almost never used it, heated seats though is a must.
#2 You are still getting a car that undercuts it's direct competitors by at least $10k-$15k, so be happy.

No sir! I went ahead and sold it back to them and bought the 2022 Stinger GT2 in Ascot Green paint scheme. It is the only year that this color is available, so I bought it due to the rarity of it. Since, they are only offering this paint scheme for the 2022 only, I figure that there will not be very many of these made in this color.
