The entry-level Stinger starts at about $31,900, putting cars like the ubiquitous BMW 3-Series and the Audi A4 squarely in its crosshairs. The Stinger is actually a little bigger than those cars, putting it closer in size to the upmarket 5-series and Audi A6. Fortunately, the Stinger doesn't feel big-- handling performance is strong, especially for an automaker not traditionally not known for its performance-oriented designs.
The Stinger's high-output engine lineup, bold styling and strong equipment means Kia can now be directly compared to the best European sedans available. The Kia is priced starting in the low $30k making it a much better value than just about any sport sedan out there.
