In my opinion I would never purchase a Kia Stinger GT due to having poor resale value in the first five years of ownership, unreliability reported by owners, and Kia vehicles being produced to South Korea as I don’t care to support them or their products. Volkswagen makes some of the most unreliable vehicles in the vehicle market my Volkswagen Jetta I owned was one of the worst vehicles I ever owned right next to the Hyundai Azera that was just as worse. I am in a similar situation I am considering purchasing a 2020 Subaru Impreza STI. Having owned a Subaru Impreza WRX before and know multiple people that have owned the Subaru WRX and STI I can tell you they are great vehicles to own and there is a big demand for Subaru’s in the vehicle market in turn they have excellent resale value. The only known issue in the 2019 and 2020 Subaru Impreza STI would be the factory tune and needing to get them tuned other than that they are great vehicles to own and they are turbocharged if you are looking for a boosted application.

Fair points. I'm definitely looking at VW and KIA reliability at the moment.

The 2020 Impreza WRX would be the ideal pick. I used to own a GC8 many, many moons ago. However, I have mild physical nerve damage in my feet and left arm after an accident years ago, so I can't choose a manual car (heavy clutch = pain time). I feel it would be wrong to buy an Impreza with the CVT they've got in the domestic model WRX.

Another option is a BMW 135i/140i (B58 engine), which can be had locally for Golf R price or less, but does only have 3 years warranty.
