I was originally looking for one of these but nobody had any but a local dealer got a 2022 Stinger GT Line AWD in trade. Made the appointment to see it, then bought it that day. The AWD is going to be great in the winter up here in the Northeast with an ability to have sporty fun in the snow. Actually looking forward to some snow now, lol.

Gotta admire your car design observations, Miles. I agree with you, in profile most sedans go with a concave curve to the backlight - that lessens the "bulbous" 3/4 appearance of the car's rear. KIA has done just the opposite on the K5 GT, the bright trim actually emphases the convex profile of the roof slope, lending the overall design too much "rear hips", and it detracts from what is a mostly attractive sport sedan.

I would love to see you do a full review on Mazda CX-30 Turbo PP - you may really enjoy it, judging from your videos. I find this car so exciting and I’m sure there will be many who would love to see your opinion about it. Cheers!

@MilesPerHr

Жыл бұрын

I drove the CX-30 Turbo a year ago and enjoyed the driving experience but was underwhelmed by the styling and interior.

It's 311 LB-ft of torque. Kia should make k5 GT as good as it's meant to be. Can't even put lsd

I rented one of the these and I loved it, however, if I were to buy one I would immediately swap the tires out for stickier tires. Unless the headlights were updated they were not the greatest either, had to use high beams a lot (compared to my experience in Mazda). But this car handles extremely well.

Interesting to see how many features from my 2017 1.6T are in this K5. My Optima has similar interior but with red leather seats. No sunroof but I never use them.

Coincidental that you ask if the back of the K5 looks better than my 2021Honda Accord Sport 2.0T in still night blue. I also own a 2021 Kia K5 gt-line AWD wolf gray with red premium package. Honestly, I think the K5 GT with the dual exhaust pipes and diffuser looks awesome.

Hey Miles, nice review. Btw, could you do more in-depth asmr car reviews like old times. Really appreciate it if you can do it. Thanks!

​@@robsnow2099 Also companies make cars based on market segments, they are competing specifically with accord sport and toyota TRD. Its based on years of market research and it maximized what a majority of population look for at a price point. They won't cater to needs of few when they won't be able to sell well. Look at stinger they are discontinuing it. Look at accord it is losing 2.0T, thats the way it goes. Majority needs win over minority enthusiasts.

Incredible vehicle … test drove it but the $10k markup and potential 3 year lease quote of $730-$840 dissuaded me, and ended up with a ‘23 Sonata N-Line. After trading my Infiniti for it, I absolutely love it. Hyundai Group is truly doing amazing things with their dual clutch/4 cylinders to make their family sedans exciting and I’m on board to stay a while. Honestly, I like the K5’s looks better than the current Accord; the new Accord may give it a solid run, except it’s coming with a sole Hybrid powertrain. Dope review as always!🔥

I love cars that still look like cars inside, saw a Ferrari that had "swipe to turn on engine" and the automatic shifter was fake analog (digital), absolutely disgusting.

Love the blue paint. Don't love the Big Brother shifting in manual mode. Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!

reminds me of a MK5 Golf GTI

I definitely would not go with the stinger because well dont feel like paying for Premium gas lol Kia definitely dominates those cars in performance. I just hate they didnt make it AWD. I have a 2022 Kia K5 GT black and brown interior.

EVERY KIA lacks polish. And Hyundai's only marginally better in most respects.

Interesting car! I think a MK8 GTI would be a better sportier car. Has an LSD too. With just a flash tune it can make over 330bhp and 370 b ft/lbs. but if these have 100k mile warranties than I can see why you might pick this
