PAdutch gets STUNG!

My daughter is now 15 months old which means we have been dealing with a rear facing car seat for a while. My wife and I both had 2 door cars (13 genesis coupe + 13 accord 2 door) and never felt like dealing with crawling in the back. So we drove our boring ass outlander everywhere. Long story short, we wanted a more practical and not boring car so we took our 2, 2 door cars and turned them into this:

2019 Kia Stinger GTS AWD


The GTS is a special edition (400 AWD versions nationwide) with Dawd (D = drift mode). Essentially, it has a locking dif and with all the traction control off it allows for drifting. I am yet to verify. I do not plan any major mods, wheels and tires, maybe a sway bar etcetera.

Expect this thread to feel more like a long term review than a super build. After having it for about weeks now I would say it checks all the important boxes. Car seat fits, easy in and out, very nice ride, handles quite well, and accelerates like you would expect 370hp AWD to. I have not tried launch mode yet (man I'm getting old).
