We had this home as a demo a few days back.
It's a great looking car I think - and very nice too inside - the only thing any of us could come up with as a niggle was that it was a bit dull inside. Just needed a little splash of colour, though it's entirely possible that could be sorted in the options list. I reckon we just some yellow stitching on the (black leather) seats would have made it perfect.
In case you wondered, it's a Kia Stinger. 300+bhp V6, RWD (and yes, you *can* turn the traction control off for hooning about on a track), and in the full-day spec (even including a heated steering wheel and heated seats in the back) is somewhere around £35K. Sounds a lot...
...until you realise that an equivalently specced Audi S4 (which still misses several toys, only has a 4-pot rather than a V6, and is about 25% down on power) would set you back north of £50K once you've added the extras.
Know which one I'd have.
Aside from everything else...just look at it! The Audi would just be so boring almost no matter how you spec it. Plus it would break your spine every time you hit a bump. This thing has firm ride...as you'd expect from a big 300+ bhp sports car. It however isn't jarring like Audi's seem to be. It's firm yes...but still manages to be comfortable.
I love the attention to detail as well like how the shut lines from the rear doors line up with the tailgate and things like that. The devil is in the detail they say...and there's a lot of carefully considered details on this car.
Never thought a Kia would make it onto my wishlist...this one just did though!
Got to be that colour though. Know if that lived in the driveway it would make me smile every time I saw it.
Okay folks...what else is there that looks this good these days?
This is when they show their true individuality (really there arent any decent emoticons for sarcasm...can we invent/agree on one!)
