Brake vibration is a USDM brake pad issue. Allegedly the formulation is low dust and low noise. Regardless, it FAILS when pushed hard with an inability to handle high heat, causing the pads to leave deposits on the rotors, causing pedal vibration. Kia Service Centers have been replacing rotors for customers but this process starts all over again because the issue isn't with the rotors... it's the US spec pads. So either install OE Euro-Spec pads ( P/N's: 58101J5A55 front, 58302J5A55 rear) or quality aftermarket ones. Only then is the problem solved. And btw, that's my red Stinger, K-ZILLA plates, in those Thatdudeinblue shots.

Yes! Good decisions to have!

I’ve got a 2019 Stinger GTS (the bright orange enthusiast version). 100% RWD. Absolutely love it. Every single day someone asks me about it. I’ve already gone through one set of Michelin Pilot Sport rear tires at 17,000 miles. Which means the fun factor is pretty high!

As an owner of a 2019 GT2, I'd say this is a pretty fair review. The rotor problem is actually due to the OEM brake pads, and the issue can be resolved aftermarket pads. The trunk rattle is fixed with a $2 bag of washers from Home Depot. The interior squawks are fair, but it's not like the Germans use real metal in their sub-50K car interiors either, so I call it a wash. Mine has held up quite well for the past 40K. I'll drop a pic on your gallery, I'm on 20" Vertini RFS 1.8's.

I have Kia Stinger GT.. and I LOVE IT! 😁❤

Fully decked 2019 for me and I love mine. Worked hard to get it and it's worth it all. I hadn't heard of the trunk rattle before this video so that was new to hear. But I recommend this car plenty for anyone who is looking for fun without totally breaking the bank. (Oh and a borla sounds incredible on it)

Currently at my job at a Kia dealership watching this video.

Here in Australia we don't get the AWD version. I have the GT with the bimodal exhaust which is the top model here. Easily the best value for money car I have ever owned, and I have had some fantastic cars, including a Merc. When you take into consideration the performance, standard features, driving experience and the warranty, there is not much, if anything, in its class that offers so much for the price. It is a brilliant car that is fantastic on a long drive and great to drive around the suburbs. Kia and Hyundai / Genesis are making great cars and badge snobbery aside, why would you not buy one?

I have a 2019 KIA Stinger GTS. Could not be happier. EXTREMELY underrated car. A lot of the issues talked about in this video are simply not there... plus the car is really NOT limited by tech stopping the fun. U can literally turn off all the traction and stability trash and send it. My GTS is AWD-D or basically dynamic AWD. I can put it into "Drift mode". Pretty cool stuff for a KIA and I've gotten plenty of compliments and questions. With very little money put in u can easily break 400hp and still have all the reliability. Decent video, but I think it's trying to predict what will happen with the car, when in reality it isn't going that direction, and they left out a lot of stats and numbers about the car.

I have a 2022 Stinger GT2 AWD and I absolutely love it. It’s a head turner and people are constantly asking me what it is. Not to mention it’s a fast car! Haha like kinda crazy fast. Sport mode, really turns that car into something special.

Have had a '19 gt2 awd since April and I loooooooove it. Best overall car I've owned and I'm planning/hoping on keeping it as my daily for the next decade (in part thanks to the warranty covering most of that time). Just got it ceramic coated last week plus got my weather tech mats in it for winter so we will see how it does in the snow and ice.

Less buyers, lower price. Its free real estate. Also 5 year bumper to bumper 10 year power train. So.... Idk what's with people breaking the singer but all I've done is regular maintenance (late even) and it runs like day 1.

Interesting video piece. I daily a white Stinger GT. 2 years and reliable so far, only issue is a rattle from the sun roof. The rear suspension could be better tuned, tends to skip mid corner when you hit a bump. Definitely a cruiser, and not a sports car you want to push hard on a curvy road. Still get a kick from the engine and acceleration in sports mode. Lastly, really impressive tech for the price point: HUD, 360 camera, decent audio.

Got mine two weeks ago, the 2.0 255hp version. It is a joy.

Pretty cool to see a video about the Kia stinger, but although this was released in December, the "face lift" model really does work towards addressing a lot of the issues identified regarding the interior - They now come with a Nappa leather interior, which is something that the Euros do offer, but for a sizable increase in cash. Also regarding the brake setup - the issue isn't the weight, its that the choice of rotor and pad doesn't pair well, and the result is a build up of pad material on the brake rotor surface. Kia will resurface them, and then chuck the same pad and rotor set up back on (not awesome). A lot people have benefitted from after a resurface, putting a different set of pads on. Regarding the rattle in the boot - it seems there is a fix now, they adjust the bump stops, but there are some awesome DIY solutions (FWIW, no real rattle at all on the facelift that I am aware of). The real design flaw for the car is the Direct Injection set up and how much blow by the car has. I have installed a mishimoto catch can and it catches a lot of oil that would otherwise go back into the intake and build up on the back of the valves. VW has a dual injector set up to deal with this, but nothing yet for Kia. but for the positives...there are not of a lot of cars that come with 367hp, AWD and RWD (in RWD with a mechanical LSD) with brembo brakes, full napa leather interior, and all the tech features. If you want a car to track - go buy the i30N, if you want a grand tourer, get the Stinger GT

I've never heard any of my friends say, " damn I can't wait til that new kia comes out" cool looking car tho

Just watch those early 2018 3.3 engines. Quite a few of them had metal shavings in the block and heater cores from the casting process. Did some Longblocks and heater boxes under warranty when I worked at Kia. But these cars have some serious potential, oh man. So surprising

My lease will be up in 2022 and I’ll be getting the new stinger. Can’t wait, best bang for your buck

Most people don’t realize that the Stinger has a 3.3 Liter Twin Turbo V6 as opposed to the 3.0 Liter V6 engines that almost all other manufacturers use. It is a torque monster straight from the factory.

I've got a stinger, rotor warpage is only really a problem in the us market, never had a problem with trunk rattle but if you get one with a sunroof look out for that rattling

@Specte

I have one too (2018 GT US model) and from what I've seen on forums, it's not really rotor warpage. It's uneven pad deposits since they use soft pads on the US market ones (US prioritizes quieter pads apparently). Getting rotors turned and swapping to better pads will eliminate any future issues. Only issue I've had (seems others have too) is the roof drip trim pieces paint has cracked a bit. Apparently it's a rubbery piece that doesn't handle expansion and contraction from temp changes too well. Kia replaced it at no charge though. If it ever happens again, I think I'll just wrap em in black vinyl.

I love my stinger. I get the usual “that’s a kia?” Or “what is that?”

I can not wait to get my hands on a Stinger GT2! I love this car.

The brakes were designed for more “grand touring” work than “driving like you stole it”. That said, swapping to better rotors helps a TON. I drove GT, GT1 and GT2 and got the GT because I disliked all of the electronic nannies the 1 and 2 have. Hold the traction control button down for 10 seconds and you’re 90% free of electronic obstacles to fun! The Stinger is by far the cheapest power ive seen on the market. Its been out since Q3 2017 as a 2018 so, going in 3.5 years out we’re seeing great reliability, plenty of useable power, and an increasingly strong arsenal of aftermarket gear. K8stingerstore.com is a great resource for your body and power mods.

I mean it is that bad that I have to pull over and turn off/on the engine and it works fine again. I opened a case with Kia and took it to the dealership 3 times and all they tell me is that they can not see anything wrong in the log report of the car. I recorded the issue once and showed them the video but they told me that they need to see the issue in real time. They talk to my like I’m crazy. Well it never got fixed. Well the dealership is only good for oil change to be honest. Other than that safety issue, I like Stinger. Looks cool and like it’s features.
