Driven: Is The 2020 Kia Stinger GT With The Twin-Turbo V6 The Sports Sedan Of The Moment?
March 8, 2020

"Set in Comfort mode, everything is smooth, neither the exhaust nor engine are overly intrusive, and it’s easy to find yourself drifting into a state of bliss when behind the wheel. Should you want to get your blood pumping, the Stinger GT is beautifully adept at taking corners, often shaking its tail on corner exit with the traction and stability control systems disabled."
 
I've never experienced this hesitation to upshift that some test drivers mention. Use the paddles with alacrity and it won't upshift for you when you aren't quick enough. :D Also, in manual gate it never reverts back to automatic. In Sport, it is my understanding that the top GT trims (that don't get manual gate) still stay in manual shifting mode until you come to a complete stop; then you just have to pull on the right paddle and the trans enters "1" until the next time you fully stop. So, what's the beef with that?o_O
