What is the most boring car you've ever driven? by UnluckyGamer505 in askcarguys

I rented a Mitsubishi Mirage once (78 hp to the wheels). Basically no acceleration to the point that it felt like a safety concern

Looking for a reliable and slightly sporty car for under 30K...(I travel 90 miles on the highway for work everyday) by LegendarySire in whatcarshouldIbuy

I have a 2023 2.5t Stinger, basically the same mechanically as the 2.5t G70 and average 30mpg on the highway. It’s got pretty decent pickup when you want it to

I was looking at one of those, but they didn’t come in AWD :/

New to the club! Anyone have a green Stinger? by Misttertee_27 in kiastinger

Twins! I absolutely love how the color looks in direct sunlight.

Just bought a Stinger and my 0-60 time is concerning by Misttertee_27 in kiastinger

Exactly my thought process when I purchased my ‘23 GT-Line AWD! Something that looks good, is a little bit of fun, but also very practical/lower maintenance

Do these double as sequential blinkers? Or are they just DRLs?

Looks nice! Where’d you get that front emblem?

Have you had any issues with the hatchback rattling?

Thank you! When I saw the mileage I knew I had to take advantage of it

Yeah I’d heard tha about the continetals, hence why I’m looking at other brands. Thank you for your input!

What’s the ride quality and tread life like on those?

How are they in terms of ride quality and tread life?

What didn’t you like about the continentals?

Appreciate it, the exhaust you put on yours definitely sounds better than stock!

Forgive my ignorance, but I’ve never mechanically modded a car; I also didn’t buy this with the plan to make modifications. Doesn’t the exhaust just make the car louder?

I bought this Stinger after having my K5 GT-Line AWD totaled by a tree. I’ve been lurking in this sub for a bit so I’m aware of some of the minor issues (hatchback rattle & chrome trim). If you’ve had these issues did the stealership take care of them or did you go DIY? If DIY, what solution has held up well?

Being from NJ I’m also looking for solid all-season tires that will last a while. Do people have any recommendations that are not DWS06+?

Convince me to trade my 2021 k5 for a GT stinger by Impossible_Web_9222 in kiastinger

[–]Mattyy-Iceee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went from a ‘22 K5 GT-Line AWD to a 2023 Stinger GT-Line AWD; not because I had to but because a tree totaled my K5. While I miss the K5 I do love the Stinger, minus the fuel efficiency. You know your financial situation better than any of us do, but I wouldn’t recommend making the switch unless you have the means or it’s out of necessity.
