How reliable is Kia Stinger?

[krelidas_34]

Since I don't have any access to Consumer Reports, I can't tell. Most of YouTubers say that they're reliable, and some said the opposite. One article said that they started to show issues after a long trip...

But in my opinion, since the Stinger is a performance sports car, it might have problems. People push the car to its limit too often, thus causing damage. They hit the accelerate too hard for decent speeds. Despite it can comfortably carry four people, it is far from a family hauler. The subframe, suspension, and the rest of its underside cannot hold such capacity...

But I still want a Stinger, although I like the Hyundai Palisade better.

Kia has gotten much more reliable than they once were. They are actually pretty good cars.

Also, the stinger has a very long waranty. 10 year 100k mile on power train.

While I bought a Subaru in not too long ago, I would've had zero issue with buying a Kia. The Korean automakers are really good nowadays, even if we made Hyundai jokes 25 years ago and Kia jokes 10 years after that.

Any kind of performance car is going to have more maintenance and upkeep.

People really like the Telluride.

Consumer reports predicted reliability is 3/5, for whatever that's worth.

They seem to be quite reliable as Northern Territory Police in Australia have decided to change their fleet to Kia Stingers.
