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 tooI miss the Dual Clutch from my Audi, but this one burps on the way down.
Could not disagree with you more. Been driving manual for 29 years and I hate driving automatic when I have to (work van).
I love the Stinger, but if I went to buy one and they told me that it only comes with automatic, they would loose a sale.
I think the interior is good. The interior design in Kias is very fonctionnal. Doesn't have leather on the dash board and no wood trimms but I never found those to be particularly good looking over other materials such as plastic. One thing I would have liked to see is an electronic instrument cluster instead of analog dials. But that is such a minor aspect.
Congrats on the new car, looks like a really fun ride

IMO wood trims are better suited for luxury cars. This is the right look for this fast sporty vehicle..
I bet they’re saving the digital dash for 2020.

Congrats! My buddy just got his last week too! I'll be wrapping it in PPF and coating it in a few weeks.
Did they try and charge you over MSRP for yours?
They are discounting them down here in Tampa Bay.

People always talk about the $50K because it's the top spec but clearly a high perf sport sedan can be had for under $40K!

Way cheaper if you were to wait until this time next year.
Or better yet in 2 years used El Cheapo Style.
lol. How much do they start at? How much fully loaded?

That’s alot less than I thought. I had $50k stuck in my head for some reason. That’s the rep this car seems to have gotten.

Jalopnik posted an article last week that some dealers were marking them up, one even went as far to say that Kai was requiring them to mark it up. They tried to add another $5k to the sticker of the one my buddy bought until he said he'd take his business elsewhere.

A loaded one is $52+k. Depreciation must be humongous.

Nope, have a mutual friend with the owner of the dealership and paid invoice minus rebates and military discount!
