Stinger Owners.....what other cars made your final list?

[Lawrence Williams]

It was no question about "let's look at other cars, if you're thinking about this." It was the Stinger. I liked what I saw, then what I read, all of it. And the package worked on me, wore me down and I caved after the test drive.

Drove it......CAVED! But waiting until retirement and will pay best cash deal

I have my military retirement and VA Disability coming in monthly. My daughter (the last of four children who will be in school) will have just graduated, all bills (including two car payments) will be gone. Seems a good time to move from Utah and be done working. I got diagnosed with cancer last year, and hopefully beat it after two surgeries and radiation, so I'm not feeling too keen on working past when I need to.

Anyway, I probably need to get back on topic...

Yes yes......the Stinger GT in sport compared to comfort was a significant change in driving performance.....the touch and feel of the components were very solid.....I've not owned many cars so to me this is a MAJOR upgrade without breaking the bank.....rear storage is narrower than my 2011 Optima for some reason.....don't need the backseat often as I rarely have riders.....this machine was created with me in mind.....I'll be around these parts way more often and off YouTube researching other cars.....done.done. and DONE!

you know, the two sons I still have around are both 5 foot 11 and they seem to fit well back there. IMO, the leg room is good unless the people in front are 6 foot 4 Be hard to find a car in it's class with more rear seat leg room.

One of the YouTube videos spoke about no foot wells under seats.....I noticed that you really couldn't slip your feet under front seats....had plenty of room.....but again I rarely have riders....only me and my golf bag! ;-)

2018 E400 coupe CPO and 2018 6 series GT WERE on the list..... but now ........#STINGER4LIFE

what an amazing machine......can't wait to buy!

You sure it wasn't a video about the G70? Cause that's what is said about that. There is plenty of room under the seats of the Stinger to put feet. Guaranteed. Try it out.

I'd watch a few more videos, plenty say there's good room back there, and the stats compared to comparable vehicles agree. It's a long car

I wouldn't have bought it if two full grown people couldn't be comfortable back there, though most of the time it's just me or me and just one of my family members.

I'll try and find link but I sat today in the backseat.....not uncomfortable but couldn't slip feet under PASSENGER'S seat....drivers might be different...2019 model.....

I think if the driver and passenger lower their seats all the way, it makes it hard to get the feet underneath. I guess it depends on those settings.

Are you in a GT2? Any feedback positive or negative that you've seen......not changing my mind just gathering intel!

I am in a GT2. I got it in September for GT1 money, so I pounced. LOVE IT!!!!

I have no complaints about the car. Not one. The problem I had with the stereo got fixed. They replaced it and I got the upgrade to 12.5 in there, so it worked out even better.
