Joined this board to research our next purchase. We live in Central Texas, so its a 500 mile drive to any surrounding state!!
We just sold our Travel Trailer and will be selling our Jeep Grand Cherokee tow vehicle. Now looking at a fun and comfortable road trip car and recently test drove a 3.3 G70. Both SWMBO and I loved it and it is definitely on the short list. Would appreciate some real world highway driving impressions from existing owners. All the roads around here are 70/75 and 80mph limits?.
Would really appreciate your input fellas.

Welcome to the forum Phil! What made you decide to test out the G70? Are you looking at other cars as well?

We have a 9yo Kia Optima EX that has been as dependable as a hammer. Not much out there that floats our boat really, as we are not brand snobs. We dont like the Stinger color combos, so we may well wait to test drive the new Sonata or the upcoming Kia K5 GT versions. Heard about the potential GT versions with, hopefully, the new 2.5 turbo motor?.
The G70 is an amazing value proposition and a good looking car. We love the latest White with Brown interior combo.

You get a lot of car for what you pay that's for sure. The 3.3T is a remarkable engine. When it comes to the Stinger I'd pick the G70 over it all day. It's such a better looking car.

It gets even better when buying used. Someone I know picked up a Stinger at auction for a steal!
