Having rented a K5 EX this week I can say I love the ride, smooth transmission, seamless Apple car play, and good gas mileage with decent low end torque. I even like the shifter. It really stands out form all the other generic shifters/button selectors. For the price this is a great car.

Its the same shifter as the 2016 dodge charger but more ugly. For the price you should be looking at a Honda. Kias are low quality standard and so are their service centers. There is a reason companies like Honda and Toyota are in the top 5 brands and kia isnt even rated in the top 10. They rank 14 out of 25 car brands. Thats not a flex.

"c'mon james you dirty bastard" 💀

Ok. You guys have officially made my number 1 car review channel! Love the mix of comedy and entertainment. Kudos from fellow Canadian!

the intro is the guide to performance divisions we all needed

That front end actually does look damn good, and aggressive. I agree on the looks

I have a ‘18 Stinger GT2 (US). It’s more expensive, but other than the advantages you mentioned here, one of the biggest ones is that it’s a hatch back. Being able to fold the seats down and fit so much in there compared to a sedan is a huge advantage. Of course it also has rear biased all wheel drive and that rear bias makes a big difference over front wheel drive.

I've watched many videos on this car and I have to say that the interior looks so much better in person than on video... Just seen it on Friday and I was much more impressed than when I watched the videos..

by far the best video yet and I'm a minute in. time to push the limits of creativity to make the car community grow 💪

Nice Video man! Really want to see a comparison video between Elantra n and k5 gt. They are really similar.

I loved Thomas explanation (rant) about confusing nomenclature for sport models from Germany, the US and Korea. Hilarious - and accurate. Really a "tour de force" I'd say. Props for writing and delivery. I'd add one more RS from Germany. (I know it's more in the "exotica" ranks, but a meaningful designation to say the least). The Porsche 911 GT2 RS. That is a distinctive trim for sure. You guys are the best. Serious content with lots of useful pearls of information, all wrapped up in a hilarious presentation. Keep up the good work! It's appreciated.

Amazing intro. One of the best

I love these guys.. reminds me so much of classic Top Gear.

I liked the K5 even when it was called the Optima, and have noticed that it retains value on the secondary market. I love the Stinger, but the price tag is a touch high, and running and maintenance costs are high, too, especially since they stopped offering the 4cyl version in Canada. Paying for premium doesn't sound too bad, "it's just a few cents more" adds up when you are using the car as a daily. If it's your weekend runner, track toy, or holiday wheels, it's not so bad, but those few cents become dollars fast. There are websites that calculate fuel efficiencies and estimate the costs per vehicle. When you see how much more you spend over a year, or five years, it paints a clearer picture of the costs. What else could you have put that money towards? And even making what I make (Which some people will still consider to be not much. I mean I am looking at Stingers and G70s, and not BMWs ,Audis, or Mercedes.), these days it's still smart to watch your bottom line. Great review, hilarious intro, and good job pointing out seat height. My wife is 6'1'', my brother in law 6'8", so passenger room is important to consider.

The “and Im James!” opening get more silly to me every time I watch it

The K5 used to be called the Optima. Cool review as always guys. The intros are funny as always. Keep up the good work Thomas and I'M James

That intro was great, 😆 well done good sirs!

This is the first metallic grey GT I've seen. Reminds me more of my 2018 Elantra Sport. Just like with the 2017 Sport, the K5 borrows styling ques from Audi and makes an athletic looking and very cohesive and elegant sedan.

Just had the base model K5 to test, and I thought it was pretty good (despite having the ugliest wheel/tire combo I've seen in years). But it's definitely "almost."

Awesome intro as always lads

I agree, this would be a fricken home run if they made awd available and even like you said, a fwd with a limited slip is absolutely amazing and really capable. The lsd would have made this very close to a 10/10
