Yes, I bought a KIA

Put some ScotchGard on those matts while they’re still brand new. And consider coating the exterior plastic trim bits, there’s not too many though, maybe just the windshield cowl and the side pieces on the front bumper. The window trim can be a bit finicky and it’s sometimes best to just leave it alone or just spray wax it.

Not that wild about the interior. Looks a bit cheap to me, especially for a $50k car. I wish you well. Enjoy.

I don’t think it looks cheap.

A Kia Stinger that is! Took this beauty for a test drive last week and just couldn’t give it up. It’s a base AWD GT. 3.3TT with 365 hp & 376 ft-lbs. Only 400 in the States painted Sunset Yellow. It’s a bright color and she really stands out in the sea of black, white and silver cars that dominate American roads. Picked her up Tuesday and swapped my tires out on Friday from the OEM Michelin Super Sport 4+ to Continental DWS 06 cause it snows in Michigan.

Looks great! Although I apologize as it seems to have marked me as disliking the post and it won't let me fix it?
 
Looks even better!

Interior looks sharp too... well laid out.

But where’s the manual??? :rolleyes:

Sadly...not offered, in any market It would be close to the ultimate car if it did have 3 pedals but Derek assures me it's a great auto.

I wish on a manual, but like Roger said it’s not offered. You can paddle shift it if you need, lol

To each his own. To me, for $50k it does. That’s what makes a market.
 
Congrats on your car looks great. I also see you listening to rob zombie on those interior shots

But that trim level is not $50K, they are selling them starting at $37,000 before any haggling down here in Tampa, that's a far cry from $50 grand.

Not trying to argue, just curious what part of the interior looks cheap?

Just for example, this interior is worlds better looking than a GTR.

IMO a daily driver is way better with a Dual Clutch / Auto vs a manual. Weekend car or fun car, man-pedal all day but daily, it gets old fast. Especially in traffic. I enjoy clicking my way around the gears. Auto's sound awesome with rev-match downshifts and if the exhaust is good, they will burp and fart too ;) I miss the Dual Clutch from my Audi, but this one burps on the way down.
 
Congrats! The car looks sweet!

This car is going to put Kia on the map. And with AWD a good idea for people in the north east PA like me.

Would like to compare this to a Regal GS.
 
I love an AWD car option...

Like @saturn2 said, for us north east PAers, it's a great idea.

Some of the knobs are a bit plastic feeling and the steering wheel air bag is very plastic looking but the fit and finish is spot on. The leather is very supple and they use real aluminum on the trim pieces. The dash and doors all have soft touch material.

If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. That’s what makes choice a beautiful thing. I’m happy with it!
