kia stinger skidpad Post Review

Here’s @byates2 on a demo skidpad run here at @tire_rack, our last event. On the wet skid at last week’s start, he would’ve scored 13th in the @Kia Stinger he had only ever driven about 300 feet from the parking lot. Pretty impressive. #KiaOneLap #OLOA2018 #OneLap @roadshow https://t.co/p0qZU36TIN

@Tyler0309 the model 3 still doesn't handle that great tbh, like it only can pull 0.84gs on a skidpad while a kia stinger can do 0.93gs

kia stinger skidpad Q&A Review

Is it fine to swap the chassis of a rare and used 910 series Datsun Bluebird with the running gear of a newly-sought Kia Stinger since both are front-engine, rear-wheel-drive cars? Then, why shouldn't Nissan alone merge and share parts with Hyundai?

According to ,Wikipedia,: === “,The Datsun Bluebird (910) is an automobile which was produced by Nissan from 1979 to 1984.,“ “,Nissan began realigning its export names with its home market names with the 910 series in November 1979. The 'B' tags were dropped in favour of 'Bluebird', though the models were marketed as 'Datsun Bluebird' initially. The Bluebird 910, which was the last rear-wheel drive Bluebird, featured simple clean-cut squared-off lines, unlike the "Coke Bottle" styling of its predecessor. It did however retain the same engine range, the same MacPherson strut suspension and the same 99-inch (2,500 mm) wheelbase as the 810.,“ “,It went on sale in Europe over the summer of 1980, where its main competitors were traditional rear-wheel drive saloons including the Ford Taunus/Cortina and Opel Ascona/Vauxhall Cavalier. It also had a number of front-wheel drive rivals, including the Peugeot 305 and Renault 18. Nissan had enjoyed significant sales success in Britain since the early 1970s and the Bluebird sold reasonably well there, although it was not as popular as the smaller Cherry and Sunny.,“ “,For the export models, a 'Nissan' badge began appearing in 1981. However, in Australia, where 130,000 910s were built between 1981 and 1986, the name change from Datsun Bluebird to Nissan Bluebird did not occur until 1983.,“ “,After eight years the Bluebird returned to the Taiwanese market. Yulon had replaced the Bluebird with the Nissan Violet in 1971. The new model was considered to be in a new class and was now known as the Yue Loong Bluebird 911. Until then, Yue Loong had reserved the 900-series for the larger Laurels. After a facelift, the car became the 912.,“ - source: ,Datsun Bluebird (910) - Wikipedia === Whereas, for the Kia Stinger: “,The Stinger traces its roots to the GT Concept from the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show and the Kia GT4 Stinger from the 2014 North American International Auto Show. Designed by Peter Schreyer and Gregory Guillaume (Kia's Chief Designer) at Kia's European studio in Frankfurt and engineered by former BMW M Vice President of Engineering Albert Biermann, the car was unveiled at the 2017 North American International Auto Show. Biermann is now the executive vice president of performance development and high performance vehicles of the Hyundai Motor Group.,“ “,According to Guillaume, the Stinger's design was partially inspired by the Coca-Cola bottle. During an interview, he offered the following comment of the car's purpose. "The new Kia Stinger is a true gran turismo, a car for spirited long distance. It's not about outright power, hard-edged dynamics and brutal styling all at the expense of luxury, comfort and grace. The Stinger has nothing to do with being the first to arrive at the destination—this car is all about the journey.",“ “,Testing of the car involved over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) at the Korea International Circuit and 10,000 kilometres (6,200 mi) at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.,“ “,The Stinger uses a shortened version of the Hyundai Genesis' front-engine, rear-wheel-drive platform with additional steel reinforcement and is offered with a choice of two engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 252 hp (255 PS; 188 kW); and a 3,342 cc (3.3 L; 203.9 cu in) twin-turbo V6 engine that generates 365 hp (370 PS; 272 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 510 N⋅m (376 lbf⋅ft) of torque from 1,300-4,500 rpm for the AWD variant.[5] For the European and Korean markets, the Stinger is offered with a base 2.2-liter CRDi diesel I4 that produces 197 horsepower (200 PS; 147 kW). GT variants are equipped with Brembo brakes and Michelin tires. The sole transmission is an 8-speed automatic with five driving modes plus paddle-shifters.,“ “,For the Korean market, the Stinger wears a unique 'E' badge, which symbolizes the core theme of "Engineered by Excellence".,“ “,Kia claims that the Stinger accelerates from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 7.7, 6 and 4.9 seconds respectively. Schreyer reportedly drove a pre-production Stinger GT at a top speed of 269 km/h (167 mph) on the Autobahn.,“ “,During a test by Car and Driver, an all-wheel-drive U.S. spec GT 3.3T with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires achieved 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 4.6 seconds on the track, reached 0.91 g on the skidpad and was able to stop from 70 mph (113 km/h) in 164 feet (50 m). According to this publication, the U.S. model's top speed is governed at 167 mph (269 km/h) per Kia specs. In tests conducted by Motor Trend, the 4-cylinder U.S. spec Stinger 2.0 RWD on Bridgestone Potenza tires reached 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.6 seconds, completed the 1⁄4-mile (0.4 km) run in 15 seconds and stopped from 60 mph (97 km/h) in 126 feet (38 m). The average lateral acceleration recorded in track testing was 0.85 g.,“ “,Overall, with its sporty and stylish appearance, the Kia Stinger delivers sharp performance with very few concessions. Build quality is strong, and the spacious hatchback has plenty of room.,“ - source: ,Kia Stinger - Wikipedia === So, the biggest problem with both cars are the ,wheelbases,, the deeply rare, old, used, and as well as, underrated 910 Bluebird’s wheelbase is 2.52m and 99.5 in. While in contrast, the Stinger’s wheelbase is 2,905 mm and 114.4 in. That means, I should have said that it is fine to swap the said 910 Bluebird‘s engine, and not running gear, with the ones used in the [Kia] Stinger. Especially, the only thing which is identical between the 910 and the Stinger is the bonnet, so it means swapping the 910’s rusty and outdated engine with the Stinger’s Hyundai-sourced motor would be sensible than to swap its [910’s] running gear. But also, just like the 910 Bluebird, the Stinger is not just a deeply underrated sports saloon/estate, but also it is only available with an automatic transmission. Although the 910 Bluebird was also offered with an automatic transmission, it was even offered with a manual transmission instead. Therefore, the classic Nissan, aka Datsun, vehicle that could swap a piece of its parts with the Kia Stinger, which is also sharing the same mechanicals with present-day FR layout Hyundai cars such as the ,Genesis G70,, is the ,Nissan Cedric,, particulary with the 230 to ,Y30, - the last Cedric to be marketed in the European market - series. And since this is enough for me to do this time, I will just leave a reminder for you people to read: Genda Nicolai Yturzaeta Iwakawa's answer to Ford motors will cease their Brazil manufacturing operations by the end of 2021, do you think India will be next in line?

What new cars are the most pleasurable to drive on long daily commutes?

It depends on your definition of pleasure. Some people want a car that just wafts them from place to place in extreme comfort and quiet. For them a large upscale sedan will work just fine, or even a luxury SUV. Even some trucks are available with great interiors, provide great visibility, and smooth engines, but cost a small fortune and are still not as quiet as the better sedans. Examples on the lower end for the pampered approach would be a Toyota Avalon or Honda Accord. Or in the middle, a Mercedes C class, Audi A6 or BMW 5 series. Any Cadillac model with magnetic ride control, such as the CT6. If cost is no object, you have the Mercedes S class, BMW 7 series, Audi R8, Rolls Royce Phantom or Bentley. The best bang for the buck in this category is the Genesis G90 which has wonderful seats, great ride, and is very quiet- for half to a 1/3 the cost of some other cars that it competes with. Don’t get me wrong, some of these cushy rides are really fast and capable performers, but they tend to be heavier and are not prioritized for enthusiasts. Others, myself included, want to be inspired by the drive and will prioritize handling, braking, acceleration, and driver involvement. I still don't want to be beat to death by the suspension or lose hearing, or throw my back out entering or exiting the car. But most of all, I want to feel connected and involved, not lulled to sleep. So what cars fall into this second definition of a pleasurable commute? Let's start with two I know well. The Honda Civic SI was used for years on a long commute. But I never minded, the car was so engaging to drive. Quick enough, a great six speed manual, excellent brakes, a fantastic chassis and steering with huge cornering grip. The ride was not bad, if not quite as forgiving as some of the cars listed above. One of the best all around cars, period, let alone for the price. Seats were fine at first, but eventually became less comfortable, and encouraged me to consider trading up. The car I traded it for? A Honda Civic Type R. Why? In addition to a better performing and sounding engine I was looking for much better seats, and the extra storage you get in a hatch. The handling, already great in the SI, moved up sharply in the Type R. From .95 - 97g for the SI to 1.03 g for the Type R on a skidpad. Brakes are even better. The 106 feet stopping distance from 60 in the SI is very, very good, but the 99 feet from 60 in the Type R is world class. A pleasant commute means avoiding accidents, right? The engine sound improved. The car is faster and revs higher. But best of all the Alcantara seats are very, very comfortable. Saved my backside. In the SI, I eventually had to buy a special leather cushion just to drive it comfortably. No need for that in the Type R. Before the world shut down, I commuted in the Type R and enjoyed every mile. Pure pleasure. Even with 20″ ultra low profile tires vs. the 18″ low profile rubber on the SI, the ride is somehow even better! Highly recommended. Mine is an ‘18. New ones have additional safety features and driver assists. But you do have to be able to drive a manual or be willing to learn. It is worth it! Those are just two examples. Other enthusiast cars for a pleasant commute? BMW M2 or M4, Hyundai Veloster N, Porsche Cayman or Boxster. Why not a Subaru WRX STi? Too harsh a ride. Focus RS, Nope. A good track car, but not a great daily driver. The seats are overbolstered. Visibility is fair. The new Corvette C8 with magnetic ride control is fast, tight, comfortable, just amazing. Could be used for a commute, but borderline for that purpose. Most pure muscle cars are not ideal commuters- gas mileage on most is poor. That engine and exhaust noise is cool, but might not wear well on a long commute. Plus the ride on some will beat you up. Vibration can also be a factor. Or, in the case of a Camaro, you can’ t even see out of it. If you want a thrill, but can't and won't drive a true manual- a pity- some good options for you are Kia Stinger, Audi TT, Audi R10. Porsche 911, Audi RS5.
