r/kiastinger

hey all, I recently (6months ago) bought a 2019 stinger gt2 and put 40k kms on it since.

Im starting to have issues while cruising it will just start shaking beyond belief sometimes between 40-80 while accelerating slowly and sometimes at highway speeds. almost feels like a serious misfire or a flat tire. but both have been ruled out. its not misfiring because its not throwing a code.

its happened 3 times in the last 3 weeks and its a crazy feeling, I pull over. leave it running. take off again and everything is okay until it happens the next time.

so my question is has anyone had issues with the torque converter? or maybe the trans is slipping? or could it truthfully be just a coil or plug even though im not getting any codes…

ps. its not my tires or brakes i know for sure

Edit: I forgot to mention I’m looking at the 3.3t AWD one for the quicker speed from a dig.

I want to get a quicker car from a dig than my current one (2is Lexus IS 350, which can do 0-60 in 5.3 seconds in ideal conditions) but I don’t want to get one that has to rev out to high rpms just to get up to speed like most V8’s do. I would mostly drive this car in urban/suburban settings where the speed limit would likely be between 35 mph and 45 mph. I like the occasional red light race which would be from red light to red light, but I would need a car that can get up to 35 or 45 mph quickly with minimal lag.

Is this a good car for that without having to use launch control? I know that the times online for 0-60 are probably with the use of launch control, so would the times without using it be significantly slower or just slightly slower in your experience? Also, how does it feel in terms of lag when daily driving it?

Have a paid off ‘18 Accord 2.0t that I am selling to a family member for 18k. Found a ‘20 GT2 with 72k mi for 25.7. Comes with a three month, 3000 mile warranty as part of the purchase (fixed price).

I was in the market for a G70 but couldn’t find a good spec with reasonable miles within my price range.

I think the stinger looks amazing and offers a combination of features and performance that are really hard to find at this price point. What major things should I be concerned about? Are the ones with this high of a mileage not a good purchase?

Going to check it out on Friday.

Thanks!

Does anyone have the dried cracking strip at the top of the stinger. It starts from the top of the windshield and goes all the way back to the rear window.

Recently put on HFC downpipes and secodnaries. The drone is pretty bad at low rpms. I have oem exhaust though and I was wondering what tip diameter will fit. I read it’s 2” I just wanted to confirm on here though

Hello everyone, recently I ordered a 2019 Kia stinger almost full spec(except sunroof) from Korea. I really wanted the higher music trim, because this is really important for me when choosing a car. I heard great things about the HK music, especially in this car. How would you compare it to Burmester, Bang and Olufsen, HK in other cars?

Hey!

My 2019 Stinger is getting close to 70,000 km / 43,500 miles, which means it’s time to replace the spark plugs according to the service schedule.

I asked Kia and they want $1450 for the job. I also checked with some smaller shops, and they’re asking closer to $600. What worries me is that Kia made it sound like it’s a pretty difficult job and that it’s best if they do it themselves.

Would you trust a smaller shop with this job even if they may never have worked on a Stinger before?

Hey guys/gals, I'm new to the sub and I've been looking at stingers for about two years and they just speak to my soul yk?. So I'd like to get a 2022 GT2 AWD if possible. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who actually owns the vehicle so I wanted to ask y'all how much you like your Stingers and what gripes and complaints you have. Things you wish you knew before buying and stuff like that

Thanks

Have a set of used in very good condition front and rear Eibach Pro-Plus sway bars. These are a must for this car. I'll include the grease for the bushings.

Part Number E40-46-035-01-11, so please doublecheck fitment but they should fit the below.
