The 2018 Kia Stinger for buyers
No 2018 Kia Stinger is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2018 Kia Stinger in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Stinger
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
At 9.6 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 29 litres of fuel. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $50.40 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The Stinger in everyday use
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 651 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the Stinger on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Stinger answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
