KIA STINGER GT $60,790

Okay, the Kia Stinger isn’t a two-door coupe, however it is a tasty alternative should you require a more usable rear seat. A four-pot version is available, though we’d go for 3.3-litre V6 for its hefty performance advantage (272kW/510Nm vs 182kW/353Nm). Doing so blows the price out to $60,790, but the Kia offers straight-line performance the ’Stang can’t match. Plus, the roomier rear seat carries a higher ANCAP rating. The Stinger isn’t without fault, with its rear end often feeling a little unhinged, yet with adaptive dampers it offers comfort, space and grace in one car.
