But yellow one is the first lei. Other colours c until no want see.

 

I thought yellow paint got problem?

 

Acty I think for such a powerful car red is the best...

 

Serves as a warning.

 

Esp potent if driven by a lady wearing flaming red dress and in sunglasses...

 

Personally I give such cars/ drivers a wide berth.

Was driving behind a white Stinger GT-line on CTE, Monday evening. Sadly, it was stuck in heavy traffic just like everyone else.

 

Could tell it was the GT-line because the mirrors don't have lights for the blind spot warning sensors (only available on GT).

My friend has the best reply to "stuck in traffic like everyone". Was talking about owning ferrari in sg.

 

He said rather be stuck in a ferrari than an altis. Haha

For me I'd rather be stuck in a Rolls-Royce being chauffeured... That comfort is just out of this world...

Saw a black one yesterday (it was dirty), not so good looking

 

Black one looks very toned down and modest looking, the color hides all the sexy curves and shoulder lines a bit too much. Hence, it looks more like a sleek saloon car, thats it.

 

Good for more toned down owners.. not suitable for more flamboyant ones.

I've never liked black cars.

 

The only car that looks great in black is the 991.

i thought all the existing GT line already has exhaust note piped in from speakers.... since it was launched? Cant be turned off.

FC - my routes are 90% highway, 650km per tank when filled to the brim, ESSO98, 24/7 on Sports mode. My case abit more unique due to my routes.. others get 8km/L.

Comfort - 99% only me and my wife. Car feels plenty spacious, shoulder width better than my B9 A4. The car sits low and sporty, good for young people like me but not for bigger / older folks. Suspension abit harsh at times, esp. over lousy quality roads, more obvious if you come from cars with softer suspension. Not uncomfortable like a Honda CTR, but you’d feel the difference.

Practicality - Boot access is huge due to lift back style. Well shaped boot space. Long heavy doors like conti but opens wide. The car fits 2+2 well, if you want 3 adults behind it’s gonna be a squeeze. That said, the car has a lot of neat touches like boot sensor hands free opening, powered tail gate, knock down rear seats, & sufficient storage areas in the cabin too.

Noise - Below 120km/h the Stinger is on par with other conti cars in the same price bracket but above that speed that’s where it loses out, in terms of noise and vibration. Handling doesn’t suffer though. I am a high mileage user and I find the Stinger very comfortable on my daily commutes, it’s made to be a Grand Touring car after all, so it suits my lifestyle esp. with my 90% highway routes. This car is made for me!

I like the engine/exhaust note.. esp. accelerating under Sports mode, the exhaust growl louder. Though I’m told new 2019 batch will have the artificial piped in exhaust note, but not everyone’s cup of tea I think.

I'm told my batch or earlier GT Line don't have it.. requires the Harmon Kardon speakers from 3.3 v6 then will have this feature available.

 

Overseas specs if they have it, there's an option for enhanced, normal, minimal setting for the piped in exhaust note.

I'm quite curious, if the sound is coming out from the speakers, what happens when music is being played?

 

The speakers output both the sound and music at the same time?

Hehe i'm not speaker guy so I'm not sure.. I reckon the music/radio playback won't be affected. That's why need the branded speakers for this feature, the stock factory speakers probably can't do it.

Probably. Since it’s an integrated feature, just simply blend in the engine noise with the music. Simple audio mixing
