My son found a used Kia Stinger and he’s asking me to buy it for him as his first car. Is the Stinger a reliable model? I usually trust Kia but I’ve never heard of this car before, which makes me unsure.
has an average reliability rating, although repairs may be more expensive because of the parts used in the Stinger.
That said, it’s worth mentioning that the Kia Stinger has a top speed of 130 mph and a 0 to 60 time of 4.7 seconds. As such, I would only recommend the Kia Stinger as a first car if your son is a very responsible driver!
When you buy your son a car, you’ll need car insurance, too, and if you purchase it using a loan, the lender will probably require a full coverage policy to help protect that monetary investment in case the vehicle is in an accident.
