2018 Kia Stinger - Long-Term Ownership Introduction - Duration: 3:13.

Drive a Kia stinger and strangers will ask you questions how fast is it? Who makes it?

Can I sit in it? But what all those rando should be asking is whether Kia's

sweet grand touring machine satisfies over the long haul?

Also why am I not wearing a jacket? To answer the car question we've added this

2018 Kia Stinger to our long term test fleet, and it's a nice one.

Drenched in High Chroma Red, our Stinger is a rear-wheel drive V6 GT2. As the priciest

Stinger trim, our GT2 is unsurprisingly laden with indulgences, like heated and

ventilated front seats trimmed with Nappa leather, Harman Kardon audio, dynamic

cruise control with stop and go abilities, and Kia's neat automatic

opening trunk, because sometimes you just don't feel like pushing the button.

From a mechanical perspective we're eager to exploit the Stingers 3.3-liter

twin-turboV6 8-speed automatic transmission, Brembo brakes, 19-inch

wheels with summer tires, and it's electronically controlled suspension.

And we hope to make zero use of its many electronic safety assists, including lane

keep and departure warning, blind spot warning, and forward collision warning.

Grand total for all this decadence, including $900 in destination charges, is

$50,100. That sum also includes a 10-year 100,000

mile powertrain warranty on top of a five-year 60,000 mile basic warranty. So

unless we get a hankering to circumnavigate the globe, out-of-pocket

repairs won't be an issue. But if anything breaks we'll be sure to let you know.

It's pure.

Like all those interested strangers, we've got lots of Kia Stinger questions.

How will it fare on long frivolous grand touring jaunts away from the office? Will the

fates grant us chances to put its generous power and rear-drive dynamics

to good use? Will all those queries from passers-by eventually relent?

Of course the real question is whether the Kia Stinger's charms can endure past

the honeymoon phase. We look forward to sharing a deluge of brilliant insights

over the coming year. See, I said deluge because it's raining.

It's wordplay, see, wordplay. That's, that's why I have the job and you don't, see the

wordplay. Yeah, I said it was like a deluge of water comes down, and there's

water on the car in case it wasn't clear.
