We got the same exact car, same color! My first brand new car as well lol what have you been using to clean your black rims? It might just be me but it's kind of stressful owning a brand new car lol I am so worried about everything lol like if anyone rides in my car, I basically give them a briefing before hand (stomp out your feet before you step in, no eating in the car, be cognizant of your actions inside the vehicle) lol then every time I wash the car I inspect every inch of it pretty much lol and unfortunately a small rock must have hit my bumper because I have a little black spot where paint is missing about the size of a rice grain lol now every time I wash my car and see a black spot I stress, but thankfully they always just rub out, it was just a bug or dirt or something lol writing this out makes me feel ridiculously anal haha

This car is NOT made to do full pedal launces from a complete stop, you'll be changing your front tires every 6 months. It's made for those who know how to use just enough gas pedal pressure for a smooth start off the line. As well, it's a highway cruiser, not a stop light racer.

Not too into cars but I've had my eye on the K5 for awhile now. So sharp and the details inside are amazing. I drive around an hour to work (ONE WAY) everyday. Is this a pretty reliable car for highway?

I freakin love this car. The first car I ever really like was the kia optima in 2013 (in terms of realistically achievable vehicles at the time). My manager had one with black rims, blue-white headlights, and blacked out accents. I thought it was pretty sick, this seems to be the more modernized version of it. I like how it keeps the feel and design that I liked about the optima but in a fresh, sharp way

I just got the 2024 K5 GT-Line with AWD today! Wolf Grey with the red interior and panoramic sunroof packages. It’s not the GT, but having the option of AWD was nice. I’m in love with this car already! I had the 2021 Kia Soul Turbo, but it was at the dealership awaiting service when a hail storm hit and it was declared a total loss. I loved that car, but happy with this new purchase!

AWD is overrated. just get a good set of tires. It's not even real AWD anyways.

If the key fob battery dies and you can’t open the drivers door there is a hidden latch under the handle on the drivers side door. The cover comes off exposing the key hole. Use the key in the fob to open the door. I don’t know if it works on all Kia models but it works on my 22 k5. When you get in the car touch the silver part of the fob to the start button and the engine should start. A great car. I love it. The only issue I have because I’m tall is getting in and out even though the doors open ultra wide. The touch screen is easy to use. There are some modes I have yet to discover. When backing up the rear view camera has several options. It will automatically switch to normal (maps, etc)when you go 6 mph forward. I don’t have any idea why unless it is a safety feature. Great tutorials on the iPad. Fun to drive, small turn radius and very sporty in the sports setting. I would highly recommend the car

Great explanation

You're right, they should have went with the higher horsepower with the all-wheel drive. That's one of the reasons why I just got the GT line is because of the all-wheel drive

It genuinely looks good from its side profile. It missed by not having adaptive cruise control and automatic windshield wipers. I’m annoyed it’s not Awd. I love my Mazda 3 and it has all of the above. Only 256 HP and 320 torque, but it can do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, cheaper, more reliable, AWD.

Did you leave anything out?! You probably could have skipped over a few things so my brain would not explode! . Very hyper-energetic review that only a young guy can do. What did you call those grab handles?! Overall, great job, thanks.

Just drove a new GT off the lot and home today. Overall very satisfied, but I did want to point out a couple issues: You have to get the GT1 package to get a heated steering wheel and integrated garage door openers (via HomeLink). The basic GT has neither of these. Also, most vehicles nowadays include the some form of adaptive cruise control. Again, only available thru the $4K+ GT1 package. Finally, the exterior/interior color scheme options are very limited, both in terms of what's offered by KIA (some interior colors are only offered with particular exterior colors), and in terms of what KIA decided to build and deliver to dealers so far in this model year. In my case, I wanted the Glacial White Pearl and I'm pretty sure *all* of these exteriors have only been built so far with a black interior. Having said all of that, I think it's a great car.

Just a heads up, the guy says you can put 93 octane in, and maybe it'll give you more power. That's not true. 93 octane takes longer to burn in high compression/high heat situations, and that's all. It gives racecar pistons the ability to compress at higher ratios without the increased heat from compression igniting the gas prematurely (before the sparkplug fires). Premature ignition damages the engine. This car is calibrated to fire 87 octane. If you put 93 in, the computer will eventually recognize that there's a problem, because the fuel isn't burning as quickly as expected, and it'll adjust the timing. 93 octane is associated with high horsepower, but doesn't create more hp. Does that make sense? Also, don't rest your hand on the shifter while you drive. It can f up your trans over time.

Lowkey tried to make it look like the underrated maxima exterior.

KIA if very foolish for NOT having Limited Slip Differential in this car. Yes, they would have had to charge more for the car, but it wouldn't be a terrible increase, and it would have made the car so much for drivable and so much more pleasurable.

I think it would be worth it to raise the price a bit to get the LSD or AWD

If only it had eLSD

For 33k I must have 4wheel drive

At the price point, I think it’s fair that’s it’s FWD, but I would pay $1,500-2,000 for AWD as an option

awd or lsd

FWD

It's a pretty car for older people. Not for racing.

Very well said! I am older, and I think it is pretty!

I will take synthetic leather over real leather all day long especially if you buy a German car. My Neighbor has a 2015 Dodge Journey with cloth/synthetic leather with 175,000 miles on the odometer and the interior looks like new. Their leather (German) seems to crack and show wear early on. What is the purpose of Dual Clutch transmissions? The one in my friend's former Audi was sloppy, jumpy, and ill-shifting.

Good point. Can't really tell the difference between them anyway

My best friend leased one and shes about to return it. She has no intentions of buying it! Shes disappointed with the glitchy infotaiment and other things I dont remember. I rode on it and it was ok but not terrific….

To start off was it a GT? Or a gt line? HUGE difference! And also the infotainment doesn't glitch 😂 I literally have owned mine for over 2 years and never had a problem

Apparently a kia/hyundai hater spitting bullsh*t without ever having ridden any of their cars. Get a life....and a good one 😂

they should have made this 400 hp and then the price could be worth it. this is a damn KIA, so i might as well get something if i will buy a kia and that is a bargain horse power at least 400 hp

311 torque isn't much this day and age? Really? Isn't 311 torque the highest you can get in its class?

Too bad this isnt wireless apple car play and Android Auto really sucks. But what is worse is they didn't use usb-c connections and instead went with thise old USB-A which is being phased out.

I dont like those black mirrors. Must have ordered from a parts supplier that ran out of white paint.

Nice package

DUDE, I’m in love with this car, but I’m afraid of buying it because it’s a Kia… what should I do?

Lease it and if you have problems, turn it in at the end of the lease

I have a 23 k5 gt line awd 12 issues in 15 k miles a joke. The. Trunk trim is on by 3m tape who makes trim with 3 m that's one part that is already getting replaced

It’s a shame the pricing for these cars is through the roof . Someone quoted me $700 for a lease lol. It’s 38k for the car . You need psychologic help if you pay that lol

If you want to buy mine it's for sale
