@Ed Findlay Worth it if you can afford it. It's why it's in a tier above what the K5 is. Sure they share a lot of the same features, and it's good Kia offers them so affordably, but you're just not gonna get nearly the same level of driving performance and comfort as you would with the TLX. That's what you pay the extra $$ for. Not to mention something not on a spreadsheet, dealership experience AND resale value. The Acura will hold more value as time goes on vs what a Kia does.

I leased a Acura A-Spec SH-AWD TLX 2021 and just bought the Kia K5 GT 2023 both cars are a blast to drive.

The rear view mirror and the structure it mounts to block way too much of the view out the front. The stinger has the same problem. Maybe shorter drivers don't have an issue but for anyone over 6 foot its there.

Brother got this car; it's great but my own gripe was the infotainment seemed a little slow in response compared to my vehicle which was a 2018.

I use to have a 21 K5 GT. I bought the very first one that my local dealer got in stock back in June 21. It was a really nice car and it hurt some feelings against people who thought it was just a normal Kia in a race. Lol. I traded it in after 6 months and 12k miles for a brand new F150. I was just sort of bored with it. The fact that I was driving a Kia didn’t really sit well with the car enthusiast inside of me. But it was a great car at the end of the day. The big plus about the K5 GT over any other turbo performance 4-6 cylinder with this much power is the fact that Kia actually recommends 87 octane for this engine. Makes a big difference at the pump not being required to use premium.

Today, Both acura and kia/hyundai/genesis are pretty much the same in terms of reliability... it's not 2004 anymore

I was behind a newer KIA SUV today that was blowing blue smoke every time the driver accelerated.

Acura's reliability is average. Kia's reliability is one of the top 5.

You forgot to mention the Market adjustments that these dealers add on. FYI, more than $6,000.

I just mention MSRP. Not all dealers charge martkup. Especially that high of markup.

I've got the 22 K5 Gt line. I think it's excellent big fan of the vehicle

Finally ! I ordered a custom built 23 gt in Wolfe grey gt1 package and still waiting . Dealership said 8-12 months .

I never saw one for $32,000. Every GT I’ve seen on lots are close to $40k. For that price I am going with Elantra N given the tuning, limited slip and exhaust plus it’s cheaper. However, this is a great looking vehicle. If cheaper and with limited slip and better exhaust I would have went this route.

completely get the EN decision but you have to take into account that despite being the same price, you save a ton on fuel since the k5 takes 87 whereas you need premium for the EN.

Concur... I wanted one, didn't see it for less than 40k. Went with th3 forte gt.

woahhhhhh comparing KIA to an ACURA is such a slap to ACURA lol

I've got a 2022 K5 GT with the GT1 package. Great car

They better pay me for that Lokey advertisement on the bumper !

Definitely will take acura over KIa any day.

Why is it because "it's a KIA". Think for yourself.

I’ve been a Kia Hyundai genesis fan for quite a few years now. For the most part I’ve been very happy with him. But the key five GT was so bad that I bought it and trade it two weeks later.

Stop lying you never owned one lair

I’ve been enjoying my sonata n-line. Summer tires are an opinion the car needs.

My new 23 GT line is fully loaded at 29k…. Ridiculous! Glacier White with red interior and GD flat screen Tv in dash!! These are sweet!!
