Sean Szymkowski's 2018 Kia Stinger GT2: Grown-up hot hatch

I wanted something fun but practical, so what better than a quick hatchback?

The Kia Stinger GT2 ticked all my boxes when car shopping to replace three vehicles.

I still adore how it looks, especially in Hi-Chroma Red.

It's shocking how much value this car packs in.

Looks like a sedan, but the rear end hides a hatchback.

The interior remains free of harsh noises or any sign of poor build quality after nearly 11,000 miles.

Everything has a rather high-quality feel to it.

If I have one complaint, the touchscreen is kind of a far reach while driving.

The ventilated front seats are very much appreciated in the sudden warm temperatures that've cropped up.
