Apparently it's an issue on all models because it's simply not built sturdy enough or with tight enough tolerances

Only ever seen 2 and it happened on the same day. One was driven by cig smoking white trash. Other was a young male. The blue color is nice, the rear end is nice (esp with Kia badge replaced with Stinger), the front half is piss ugly dealbreaker for me

It would be cool if it wasnt so fucking expensive. The GT version is 38k
Parker James
This. Hopefully it goes down in value.

My local dealer has a red GT, fully loaded, for 32k.

Reminder the Stinker is slower than a Focus
Joshua Robinson
No manual = trash

Reminder that it's just a luxury cruiser/ Grant Tourer just pretending to be a sports car. It doesn't have to be a track king as that's not the point.

I've only just recently started seeing them. Predominantly driven by upwardly mobile White trash + Blacks and new money Mexicans and Koreans, meaning the types who typically by Infinit Q50s, Chargers, Genesis, IS250s and 3 series.
Kia made a grave mistake pricing them at $32,000 base.
Most people who shop the $30,000+ range here can afford to go to $40,000 and as such will allow them to get into a nice Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes or BMW, or an upper middle trim pickup or muscle car.
Had Kia priced this under $30,000 they would have sold in droves. But they're simply not nice enough to warrant a that price tag.
Honda made a similar mistake when pricing the new 2.0t Accord. I suspect in a month or two there will be articles wondering why the new Accord isn't selling in line with predictions.
