the 2021 kia stinger gt2 6 cyl turbo charged has been eating at me lately
all of that v6 365 hp power with more safety options than the maxima is hard to pass up
what do you guys think?

 

Can you tell me what "more safety options" The Stinker has? The message I get when I see one of those is: Shoulda went ahead and got the BMW instead of this boy racer imposter.

 

who makes this car?

 

I have a friend with the Stinger. It's nice! Def more sporty than the current gen Maxima but less luxury I'd say. Interior isn't as nice IMO but I weigh interior design and comfort a little more than others normally do. It's fast too though! and exterior def catches the eye on the street.

In terms of safety features. Only thing the current Maximas don't have comparatively is lane keep assist I think? The newer Maximas should have pretty close to the same safety features other than that.

Go for a test drive!

 

C& D review- also look at the upcoming '22 with some revised powertrain options...the GT2 puts the car at the bottom of five other higher quality competitors as well:

The Stinger is a really nice car. I planned on getting one last year, but I ended up leasing a 2020 Maxima instead. With the pandemic and everything going on, I didn't wanna spend more money than I had to.

 

My 2019 Platinum Maxima has lane keep assist. I turned it off because I drive roads with lots of pot holes, and I have to dodge them all. However, it is available at least on the top trims.

 

Oh nice, didn't know they locked that to the higher trims. So you can just let it drive itself on the highway basically?

The 2020 SV I rented on vacation just had the lane warning or whatever, was surprised for a modern car they didn't just put lane keep assist on there as well when the Corolla Hatch we have has all the safety suite as well basically

 

i remained faithful to the nissan brand,i kept my maxima and also bought a 2019 nissan altima sl with the propilot feature
now i have one with great fuel mileage and one with the power.

 

Now if you can just stop dreaming about the Stinger… good luck!

 

yeah i know
