Got to spend a lot of time in a 2019 GT stinger, and a 2016 M4 and I gotta say I liked the Kia more. The BMW was fun as hell obviously, but they’re definitely more performance oriented and you feel it in the ride 😂 The Kia was more comfortable, practical, draws less attention, and the turbo spool/blowoff sound perfect. They’re also also unique and a lot of people have no idea they even exist

I guess I'm the old dude in the room. April 2019, I purchased a 2019 Genesis G70 3.3.T. As the old dude✌, my Genesis G70 is my personal vehicle. I have an SUV and a large sedan if I need to carry passengers or cargo. Currently I have over 69K miles on my G70. So far, no problems. Only scheduled maintenance and replace a set Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Comfort and sport mode are as different as night and day. My kids are adults, so I didn't need the trunk space or rear passenger space . I love both Korean vehicles! Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching young people in their Kia Stinger Gt!

Did the police buy them too? Regards from an diesel Stinger owner in Sweden!

Ol' mate has clearly never driven a tuned powerful sedan with AWD. I've owned a Toyota Soarer with a VVT-i 1JZ and I was always aware of how traction is a limiting factor. Once late night I was tired and in the rain I made a mistake: turbo kicked in, rears lost traction and car spun out. I think the M3 owner just fell in love with utter security and planted feel of the AWD.

I’m 1 month into owning my 19’ GT2 Stinger. I absolutely love it. I’ve been a die hard Audi guy for years. Owned 20 of them from big turbo B5s4’s to the 2019 RS5/s5. I currently own a 2014 RS5 but needed to add a fun dad car. I would have never thought to look at this car. The black with red is such a good look. The power is insane and not much has been able to keep up with it. It turns heads, and since I replaced all the Kia logos, people don’t know what it is. Great car for the money. This should have been a 65-70k car. The build quality is excellent. The only things I hate are the auto stop/start, the front collision slamming on breaks when flying up on cars pisses me off. All of which you can turn off but still every time I get in it’s just annoying having to shut of it off. I might leave the wheels and just throw on an awe exhaust and H&R sport springs. The car looks so good as it is. Oh, last thing, the brembos suck! Lol

It feels German because the designer of the stinger (and the one responsible for the modern tiger nose KIA design DNA) Peter Schreyer was poached from VW group by KIA in 2006. Most widely recognised for his heavy involvement in the design of the Audi TT. That’s why the Kia stinger looks and feels so good and has that German feel.

@twn2rbo

So I will start with saying I love Audi and their design team, always have. The Germans have horsepower to liter ratios mastered. The S6 is a 2.9 liter with 444hp at the crank and the stinger Gt is 3.3 with 368. With that said though, some things to keep in mind. 444 isn’t wheel hp and the S6 is a heavier car, stock is probably like 320 to wheels. Base GT like mine is only $43K and maxed out is around $56k. Compared to the S6 which is probably double. With only a couple grand of mods and a piggy back tune on the Stinger, you will be at 420 to wheels, which is over 500hp. Also, it’s no secret when it comes to maintenance and repair costs of which one is going to be more in the long run. The tough part is comparing Audi to KIA. I’m sure the service dept is miles ahead regarding customer experience. Audi also has a brand prestige that makes people feel proud to drive. Coming from 3 Lexus’s in a row, that was a tough one for me to get over , but the test drive got me. Reminded me a lot of my GS350 F Sport until he put it in sport mode and the German engineering took over. The stinger was designed by Albert Biermann who designed a lot of the BMW M cars along with help from prior design executive from Audi / VW Peter Schreyer. Great question though, that would be tough to answer, I think you just need to go for a test drive! 👊

@@twn2rbo I have the 4.0t with a tune. Car is pushing about 565hp and 630 ft/lbs on this tune. This is why I am concerned about the power difference. I would likely want to keep factory warranty in place if I made the switch so not sure if I'd be tuning it. I am not a brand snob. I always loved the way Audis drive and their interior which is why I was drawn to them. I drive my cars for me so definitely not concerned what other think. That said, the Kia naysayers are played out and annoying. I'm not sure there is another brand outside of the Hyundai group that has made such huge strides in style and performance over the last few decades. They've reinvented themselves and people should be proud to drive them and not be made to feel inferior and have to listen to "it's nice but it's just a Kia". They are completely trouncing every other manufacturer in styling, and by a good margin in my honest opinion.
