the Stinger is a big ball of fun. But i strongly second the suggestion to rent one for a week and live with it day in and day out.

We bought our daughter a 2002 VW Beetle convertible with a Tiptronic transmission. I always hoped that was the last thing in the driveway. It was a blast to drive!

An No, I never showed them how to use the paddles!

Word on the street is 350ā€™s are selling at all time highs, would you be better off selling on your own instead of trading in?

The short answer is why in gods name would you downgrade to a Stinger. Geeze oh man ! That is quite a downgrade in my opinion.

Considering trading my GT350 for a fully loaded Stinger GT2. GT350 is my only daily and I want something more comfortable. Is it bad idea to make this decision? Any long term financial and performance advice? I know that stinger will get me less performance but bit more comfort and comfort is only reason Im considering as daily driver.

Thanks!
Get a V8 Charger. Still got muscle with 4 doors, practical and comfy.

I'm not sure what you mean by comfort, but I certainly did not find the Stinger to be a particularly comfortable car; the ride was stiff and the interior is surprisingly cramped. We didn't drive it for long obviously since it was just a test drive. Ended up going with a new ES350 to replace my wife's older one. Those are certainly comfortable cars.

Also, K5 is a new car that talks up the handling in the commercials. Replace the Stinger I think. Not much power though..

I don't know. Just saw commercial this week for first time. Maybe since the HP is low.

There is a GT with almost 300 HP and referred to as muscle and perf.
Yup, the K5 is a whopping 290HP. The Stinger GT2 comes with the 368HP twin turbo engine. Is it a GT350? Well of course not, nothing is. But itā€™s a damn good sport sedan. Try it, you might like it.

Oh, yes I have seen it at car meets with upgraded power. It's very nice look and reminds me of an RS3.
