My first reaction once driving my Stinger was "Oh, this is nice!"

I've had my car for almost a year & every time I get behind the wheel I have a grin from ear to ear just like the day I drove it home from the dealer.....

I never even sat in or drove mine before I bought it, so, I didn't know what to expect when I took delivery and got inside the first time. I do recall being blown away though, loved the smell, the LEDs everywhere, and the low, supportive seats.

So much better than my 2015 Mercedes C300. Quiet, no rattles, responsive. A better luxury car with a wicked side.

Always love low seats, hate feeling like I'm sitting on a couch. The Stinger's are awesome.

I hear you... there was no way I was leaving without it, especially since I didn't think I'd find another in the same color combo (Panthera metal/ light gray) with awd.

I've been looking at the Stinger probably since 2017. My first test drive was in mid-2019 (not the same one I bought)

Fast as my S550 Mustang GT, equally great styling, 2 more doors, and snow belt required AWD. I'm in!

For me, it was ‘just wow!’

Refined and comfortable on the one side, up on its toes and extremely responsive on the other.

Two cars in one!
And the looks. I can’t lock it and walk away without turning back to look at it. It’s been that way from day one!
