@@Peramiiy I have yet to have a car for more than 100k miles lol not bc of reliably but bc I get bored of them. I don’t see any need for a car to reach 200k miles.

Uhh KIA hired a guy who worked for Audi the same guy who designed the Audi A7/RS7. He didn't design the powertrain at all that's all the KIA engineers.
@304derrick but the performance otherwise is a smidge below most of the Germans. It's a perfect budget car below those tiers and honestly is just as good looking. You can spend barely much extra for mods that make it just as fast if not faster and still save money. Too many winning points on this car.

Yeah it was designed/refined by the head of the bmw M division it's not German engineering it's better it's Korean engineering with hints of German refinement, they had been making the V6 they used in the stinger for a while, as well as the 2.0 4 cylinder, they weren't new when Biermen came onto the team though that's for sure.
@@GMKDP I can't say for sure, but I'm fairly certain he didn't do that much hands on engineering at Hyundai, more of leading a team of engineers and helping to refine what they put out.
They get crap because for years they were absolute pieces of shit that were completely unreliable. That's why there making a video talking about if it's reliable
None of what you said is true. However, Hyundai hired engineers from those companies and the lead engineer on the stinger was ex head engineer of the BMW M division.
If that's the case, I definitely wouldn't trust this car since Germany engineered cars are at the low middle or bottom of the reliability rankings every year. And just because 2 Germans are hired for design and engineering doesn't make this remotely German, a huge offense to the Koreans, who are doing everything right!

Feels and sounds 100x better now the mechanic during his test ride even showed me the potential of manual which I’ve started to learn because it does perform much better.
The only problem with Stinger is its too fun so you tend to speed up a lot than you should be so it could lead to a car accident if you speed up too much… Other than brakes, no issues. The best car that Kia has ever made… Stinger and Telluride
Just because you have 2 Germans involved on design and engineering doesn't mean Kia had nothing to do with this car. Not sure what research you have supports this. Was every designer and engineer on this car German? Really? All of them?

I’m not letting myself slack with regular service lol…I’m at just under 5k and had my first service done over 1k miles ago. But I could totally see myself slacking with cleaning out the catch cans when needed and I feel like that’d be worse for the engine than not having any.
@samuraitoaster if you let them overfill then I can see how that could be an issue. You empty them with oil changes, so if you remember THAT then emptying the can shouldn't be an issue at all. There's always sludge, yes sludge in the can. If you feel comfortable having that circulate in your motor then by all means, it's your car. I had a catch can in my camaro ss as well, any di engine benefits from this.

The thumbnail says you're on your 4th engine. Why is that? Can I assume you've been modifying it because I have one and have not had a single issue in 60,000, mi. And I don't think any of it is German. They hired German engineers but the Germans didn't actually build the car. Or with Volkswagen. It would most likely be Mexicans
Lol I have a stinger and I really hope you’re kidding about this being your 4th engine plz reply to help me sleep 🤣🤣
Reply to me instead so that this guy won’t sleep
I like your video

Engine fires 🔥
Are turbos reliable? Tell the truth:)
No.
Historically no, but turbos have improved massively in reliability over the years.
Kia boys will steal it anyway
Kia boys haven’t gotten there hands on a stinger a bit different than other Kia builds but if they try to get there hands on mines 🫡 goodbye Kia boy.
Thats not even close to being true its built by Hyundai and genesis so get your facts straight.
It’s German, oh so it’s not reliable haha
This can’t be true!
Bc it isnt entirely true, albert biermann who used to work at bmw's m division helped design the car
Trying a little click bait huh?
Bruh lol
You want reliability from your stinger or ANY DI engine? 2 words...catch can.
Naw I'll forfeit my warranty with a modification to the engine bay if something does go wrong
@eduardodelgado7873 lmao you don't know anything about cars if you think adding a catch can will void your warranty. I've already taken my stinger twice with the catch can installed for warranty work. Engine modification pfffff 🤣🤡
@@grapeeggplant3863 so you just made your self look like a goof. So the catch can prevents problems but you already went twice for warranty work. Let see if you make yourself look like a 🤡again? I'll wait
@@grapeeggplant3863How necessary are they really? Could they end up being worse if you don’t clean them out on a regular basis? I have a Stinger GT2 and decided against catch cans because honestly, with my ADHD I tend to be shit about maintenance things like that. I’m not letting myself slack with regular service lol…I’m at just under 5k and had my first service done over 1k miles ago. But I could totally see myself slacking with cleaning out the catch cans when needed and I feel like that’d be worse for the engine than not having any.
@samuraitoaster if you let them overfill then I can see how that could be an issue. You empty them with oil changes, so if you remember THAT then emptying the can shouldn't be an issue at all. There's always sludge, yes sludge in the can. If you feel comfortable having that circulate in your motor then by all means, it's your car. I had a catch can in my camaro ss as well, any di engine benefits from this.
Yeah it’ll just spill all of the oil out before it leaves the dealer 😂🤣
It wasmt created foriegn lol you mean engineers
You should do some research before saying bs 😂 🤣
SMH... If you're going to make a video like this, it helps tremendously to actually know WTF you're talking about. The tiniest bit of basic research would save you a shit-load of embarrassment.
GERMAN cars are not reliable 😂🤣
But bmw’s aren’t reliable 😂😂😂
That’s a sharp looking car tho Not a Kia fan rather get Cts-v 2012-2015 all black Let’s argue 😂
I would too haha
@@bev5410 a 2015?? Performance wise the stinger is keeping up and interior wise it destroys a 2015 cts-v
@@bretleysfilm4078 370hp vs 560hp while being basically the same weight... I wouldn't say the stinger is keeping up 🤣
What is this shit? If Stinger is made by germans, it would be unreliable. If it's made by Kia, it would be reliable. Where did you get the info that germans built Stinger?
Lol you are on drogs.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Kia is garbage
😲
What a BS😆
