The 2018 Kia Stinger is an all-new model.As stylish as the latest Kias have become, they typically haven't had the performance and handling to match. That all changes with the all-new Kia Stinger.
PROS Sporty and graceful appearance stands out Entertaining levels of performance Refined interior with hatchback utility Generous warranty coverage
CONS Ride quality can get a little jittery at times Limited space for rear-seat passengers
The 2018 BMW M3 Is a sport sedan icon that offers track-ready performance and relatively comfortable seating for four, but it is losing its lead to a group of hungry contenders.
Pros Superlative performance Four (relatively) useful seats Menacing looks Available carbon ceramic brakes are great...
Cons ...but very expensive Everything costs more, unless you like white and black cloth Not fuel efficient A somewhat digital feel
What we really love about the M3, though, is that it retains its civility in spite of the performance upgrades. The ride quality remains comfortable thanks to adaptive dampers, the seats are supportive yet comfortable enough for long road trips, and the back seat and trunk are spacious. While there are higher-performing competitors, and more luxurious ones, few blend both traits with the fluidity of the 2018 BMW M3.
PROS Agile handling without a penalizing ride quality Upscale, well-equipped interior with room for four adults Powerful brakes
CONS Steering is less lively than in competitors Other sport sedans sound better, go faster
"The BMW M3 is a legendary name among supersaloons, but while the latest version is good, its rivals have caught up"
PROS Practical four-door body Aggressive looks Fun to drive
CONS Pricey to buy and run No longer sounds as exciting Some rivals are better to drive
