talk me out of a KIA STINGER

[Torrid]

I like BMW but they are out of my budget.

BMW / Porsche has nicer (my opinion) interiors than any Benz.

I would agree with that. I don't think BMW materials are inferior, I just like the look of the Porsche layout better than BMW. I've never cared for how the BMW interior looked.

I would not touch a Kia ICE car with a 10 foot pole.

I am looking at a KIA Stinger with only 9k miles. Talk me outta it. I am assuming the only way to buy is with an extended warranty. What's the verdict TRASH or CLASS. Reliable or not???

Don't drive it unless you are seriously thinking about it. I drove one and it was pretty impressive honestly. I would never chance it myself though, too many question marks with that brand.

Don’t buy it. Did that help?
Buy a mustang!

I know H/K cars are said to be better now. However H/K is very well known for cutting corners to save a penny. Literally. The extreme number of engine failures is one example. H/K has had more recent catastrophic engine failures than all other manufacturers combined. And it is not just one 'fault'. It is a combination of issues stemming from the metallurgy and quality of the parts.

With a company culture of cost cutting, I'd avoid them, if only to save myself some grief.

However, I drive Jaguars so I accept risk. I own 2 of them. Neither has given me any trouble. One has 230,000 miles on it.
