Sure... but if the team with home court advantage win all their home games, they win the series, which is advantageous because it’s easier to win at home than on the road. It’s not an overwhelming advantage, especially if the other team is markedly better, but it’s an advantage nonetheless.

I don’t think it assumes that. Home court is just an advantage, not a guarantee. If more of the remaining games of the series will be at your home than the other guy’s, the advantage lies with you. If you lose one, the other guy has stolen the advantage. That applies regardless of seeding or actual number of remaining…

Can’t see volume knob in this pic, does it go to 11?

kia post 2012 are super sturdy! I would drive any of them in a heartbeat man. also 100k warranty for the original owner where else are you going to get a RWD sport sedan with one of those? 

I would argue that Honda isn’t the measuring stick anymore for quality. From personal experience, I would buy a Kia over another Honda and I was a huge Honda fanboy back in the day. Toyota/Lexus haven’t given up the crown but even looking at recent reliability rankings Honda has slipped considerably.

You're in the extreme minority calling the Stinger "boring" or "ugly". Simply your opinion, I guess. 

100%. Not a single problem, save a $350 Pilot Sport 4 replacement when I hit a pothole.

You gotta get over it, Kia and Hyundai/Genesis have been really killing it the past few years. And now with the Telluride, people are really paying attention. 

I have a 2013 Hamster-mobile (Kia Soul) that I bought new (because it was cheaper than the used 2012 on the same lot :shrug:). I’ve not had any issues other than regular maintenance. I think Kia has really turned it around compared to years ago. If I were to buy a new car right now, I’d strongly consider the Kia Niro…

I drive a Stinger GT, my neighbor has an S5, and I wholeheartedly concur with you. The S5 is the better car, no doubt, but the Stinger is also far more affordable. I ain’t mad...

It’s funny because I have never had that feeling about Hyundai and Kia probably because I have always had one around even if not my primary vehicle. My first car was a 1990 Hyundai Excel that was my moms originally and it was a great car that never had any issues for either of us. I was 16 and beat the crap out of it…

My husband owned a 2011 Soul for 5 years and had NOT ONE ISSUE.  He got it when we first met and I was kinda like uhhhh... what?  But honestly I ended up loving that thing.

“I shopped around and looked at the Kias, but couldn’t get past the massive depreciation hit on a 40k dollar Kia.”

I got a GT2 a year ago to the day. Cross shopped five dealers and between dealer and manufacturer incentives walked away leasing based on a price of $42k, 8k off MSRP. Signed the papers and took the car in about an hour, no tricks.

Is it just me, or does it seem like almost all of the Stinger’s competition also has questionable long term reliability

I’d say more like Genesis is Audi, Hyundai is VW, and Kia is SEAT and/or Skoda. Not worse, just different and able to try out some sporty or quirky things the core brand can’t/won’t.

Kia Stinger vs Genesis G70.

Because you could have a 2000-2002 AWD Volvo with far less miles for the same price, dumbasses.

Who cares if it is down on power? Who cares if its not as fast as others?
