Expert Review
Bought this car 18 months ago. Just had the 20K service and it's overheated. Like to think that I'm quicker to congratulate than I am to criticise but Kia have really pushed my whinge button. I rang Roadside Assist and was told that they would organise for the vehicle to be towed to the nearest dealer and that I should ring the dealer and advise him that the car was coming. Got a call centre in Townsville Q.....you can already see where this is going can't you. I explained what the problem was and the call centre said that they would contact th...
Read moree dealer and pass on the details. Then I got a text message saying that the dealer wouldn't take the car until a month later. We are a one car family and we have no access to public transport. So I rang Roadside Assist again and relayed the text message. The person that I spoke to this time (of course, you never get to talk to the same person) was quite short with me and said that I should have spoken to the Service Manager not 'some girl', his words not mine, so then I asked to speak with someone else and I got put through to Customer Service......what a misnomer. The fellow that took the call was unsympathetic, rude and condescending. I asked to speak to his supervisor and really didn't get any better "service". I was just told that I had to take the car to that dealer but that he would "liaise" with the dealership. So the car was picked up and taken to the dealer. Didn't hear from the dealer so I rang and spoke to the Service Manager. You could tell from his tone of voice that the poor bloke was seriously under the pump. He said he hadn't had time to look at the vehicle and didn't know when that would happen and he obviously wasn't interested in hearing from me what the problem was. So we've got no vehicle and no idea when we'll get it back and Kia couldn't care less. If you're thinking of buying a Kia.......you should really think about buying something else.........great car but after sales service is non-existent.Purchased in .

Quick, comfortable, fully loaded, reliable and loads of fun. To spec a BMW to this level would be ludicrously expensive. The KIA isn’t perfect, but neither are BMW and they look poor value in comparison. And the KIA will undoubtedly be more reliable.

I love long drives but can't escape the kid chauffeuring either. My Stinger is a dream to drive whatever the reason for being outside! I've had it since June 2018 and so long as they keep making them, I'll keep buying them.

It’s a bargain price for what you get to start with. 5 things I love
- engine and transmission works like a charm together is not a manual but still so much fun.
- real wheel drive.
- it’s a good looking car.
- packed with features and technology list go on and on.
- it’s reliable and cheep to drive.
5 things I don’t like.
- paint…is so tin that if you press harder it will cheap out.
- rattle noise… generally speaking it’s not a very quiet place inside.
- brakes. Most owners (personally I believe all owners some just don’t care or don’t notice) develop unpleasant feedback when braking. In my case just after 10k km. ...

Daily driver, great fun to drive and value for money…only problem is dealer networks and lack of service when dealing with warranty. Find a good dealer first as the car provides all and more in a sport hatch

Before purchasing this car I took my time and test drove an STI, RS3, AMG-A45 and a Golf R. I was still going to look at other cars but when i test drove this car, i put a deposit down straight away.
The amount of features the built into this car is crazy. I've done 40,000 km in it and haven't had a single issue and i've definitely used my fair share of the launch control and sports mode too.
Also very fun to gap the cars of friends who turn their head and say "you purchased a KIA"

Lovely vehicle with oomf but so far 7 year warranty and after service lacking
Bought from new during COVID.
Less than 600km and left back indicator stops working on a Friday.
We call the closest dealer to be told they will call back in 30mins to an hour.
No call back, we call back 2pm the same day and are told can't take the car in until next week- Weds.
Told to drop it off in the morning before 8:30am and leave with us all day.
Not Happy.

Just get one! This car is a surprise! Kia have certainly come along way creating a beautiful car that is beautiful in design, luxurious in its feel and has grunt and performance!

I upgraded from my favourite XR6 ute to a family-sized sedan that can fit a baby seat. I got the 2018 GT and it drives like a dream. When it's just me I can enjoy the V6 twin turbo in "SPORTS" mode which tightens the suspension and gets through the gears quick. When it's the missus and the bub she can select the "Driver 2" profile which adjusts the seating setting to her preferences. She can also select "ECO" or "COMFORT" mode which softens the suspension and tames the engine to drive more like a traditional sedan.

Almost 12 months on since I took delivery of my brand new KIA Stinger GT, I thought I'd share my personal experience and opinion.
I chose the KIA Stinger GT to replace my 15 year old Mazda as I believe it represented excellent value for money with regard to standard safety features and fuel economy.
So far, almost 12 months on, I have not been disappointed.
Despite its sporty coupe design, it is quite spacious with plenty of room in the back for my 3 children.
Parking is a breeze with the awesome 360 degree 3D camera view and both front and rear parking sensors.
