I'm really impressed at how much KIA has improved over the last couple of years
Their engines are still garbage though. I've seen brand new Kia's blowing blue smoke when they accelerate
And I know some KIAs being driven by mad people and they haven't shown any sing of problem.
And also I know so many brand new German cars in which their engines just stopped working for no obvious reasons.
Does it mean that Germans make rubbish enginesm
@@ravenheart369 which German brands? That doesn’t happen lol
@@evan.435 Google is free to everyone
Just learn how to use it
@@evan.435 there's always that one guy that has to say this lol. Not all of their engines are garbage, there are certain ones to be careful of but plenty of them can make it 300k easily.
I'm very impressed. This car has changed my mind on the brand. I'll be buying one
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.
So well said
Kia killed it with the K5, this and the stinger are nice
2:16 It's better looking than a Honda imo.
wheels look great and quad tip exhaust!
You’ve done a great job on this review. I’ve got the EXACT same car, and I’ll say that you’ve got some guts ripping it around the mountain. I don’t trust my car,suspension or tires that much.
he's obviously a kia boy off the camera.
Some aspects of the exterior kinda remind me of the Charger.. Impressive car and a gorgeous shade of blue
I see a little Charger in it too, yea
I see raptor in it
i see some hints of camaro in the front as well
I wanna get this car so bad lol thanks for the review your great at what you do keep it up man 👏
Kia came a long way. 👍
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
Awesome upload!! I was just looking into KIA. Much thankx..
You bet! Thanks for watching
Your right about getting a lower 0-60 with better tires. Nice video!
0-60s in fwds are irrelevant, even with better tires it wouldn't be that great , the Elantra N still has a hard time
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.
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!
IMO this is the best looking car on the road rn, shame it’s so limited on the inside.
Not by a long shot
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!
I drove the CX-30 Turbo a year ago and enjoyed the driving experience but was underwhelmed by the styling and interior.
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.
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.
Awesome review, though one recommendation I’d like to see: a section where you test the speakers.
Check out my Night Drives! I always do a sound system test in those. That said, I was short on time for the K5 and didn’t make a night drive 😢
Are you going to be posting a night POV review of the KIA K5 GT?
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!🔥
Thinking about trading my Q50 too 🤔🤔
@@ThatguyLoso120 wouldn’t blame you, but at least yours still has available parts; I had a G and loved it, but parts are scarce and expensive so it was time to let it go to a younger cat who wouldn’t mind the headache.
I like the n line better than the GT anyway so good deal
N Line is equally great!
@@ThatguyLoso120Kia doesn’t sell their oil filters to anyone so you have to order one to get an oil change btw.
I have the same car. Great review!!
Really good looking in my opinion
RWD or of course AWD and it would be a go. Of course it would add 2-3k but that’s absolutely a price most would pay.
Kia stinger base is basically that.
@@narennallapareddy2994 but I don’t want a base stinger. A Rwd top of the line GT is what I want.
@@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.
Any way you could review the Kia Forte GT?! That would be pretty kool. Thanks for the video
This thing is a mess without a LSD.
This has gotten 5.0 secs flat 0-69 via car and driver and motor trend, and I’ve seen as fast at 4.9 with draggy,
How did they manage to avoid the wheel spin that well?
@@robsnow2099 Better tires will help for sure. Also, not flooring it will prevent the tire spinning. Helped me alot.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport R tyres can help a lot to put the power down to the street.
Agreed!
I would love to see you do a review on the kia forte gt with the new face lift
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.
Best looking sedan that's commercially available. Looking to replace my 2003 Japanese Galant (Different to the American Galant) which I love
I question the knowledge about the Kia engineers to not offer the all-wheel-drive as standard on the GT, or at least a limited-slip differential.
LSD is a big miss for this car and its competitors
They had to leave something for the Stinger.
Now that the Stinger is axed, it will be interesting to see what the 2025 model will include.
I am definitely childish and just got one and it is awesome and I now have a car payment and a tire replacement budget
Love the blue paint. Don't love the Big Brother shifting in manual mode.
Safe Journey!
CHOLULA!!!
I'm confused about the plastic below the windows being hard. I saw another review (granted for a 2023) that said theyvwere soft touch. I'm not sure why the gloss black is such a negative for you, I've never had a problem with it in any cat I've driven, but I don't keep a messy car so idk what would scratch it...
It's tough to find a competitive car or suv to my Edge ST in the
some people just dont like it theirs nothing wrong with it. also the door pannels are soft touch in the front seats
EVERY KIA lacks polish. And Hyundai's only marginally better in most respects.
reminds me of a MK5 Golf GTI
Back and quarters almost look like RS7
Bro started creaming at the end😭
Is this Jan Blachowicz reference in the title or just coincidence? :D
Coincidence 😆
is there a way to get a digital gauge cluster?
optional on higher trim levels
Canada model only
@@EpiCxWoundsx false
Its only canada that has digital gauge cluster
The 2025 model is expected to have a digital gauge. Also, you can order a digital gauge if you currently have a K5, it costs about $1,400.
What? You didn't even bring up the name "Maxima" once in this video?
Too bad they only did awd for gt-line and not gt
this would look so much better as a shooting brake/wagon
Truth for just about any car (to me) 😉
It´s a good looking midsize sedan, unfortunately also the last K5
They discontinuing the k5??
@@plxyboilx04
@@plxyboilx04 No, they are discontinuing the Stinger. K5 is still going.
Lol this car is sexy af 😂
It's too bad Honda has no idea how to design an accord anymore. One of the ugliest cars I've ever seen (and that's saying something since the Sonata is a car)
And if you're a grandparent get the Camry. 😅
oo ur brave for going that fast down a hill lol
@MIlesPerHr, I wish you could do the Sonata N line, its much better, same engine! better tuned!
I’ll look into it!
Why so many fake vents
needs either LSD or AWD can't not have both
They are brave to give it this much power it can't handle , Kia drivers already dangerous enough on the road
First!

i feel like the kia is worst looking than the honda accord sport
First
It looks nice. But it's a kia, thing will fall apart within 5 years of ownership.
Not so sure about that. The latest Hyundai Kia products are holding up pretty well
@@MilesPerHr the only Kias I ever see on the road are new ones. :P
Kia is the worst brand out there. All i hear and see is videos, articles and comments of complaints over the build quality and reliability.
my k5 is at 72k miles. aftermarket mods and all, and i have never had a problem. it’s a 2021. the new KIA’s are very well made, and no matter what issues people have, still has the best warranty you can ever get. 100mi/10yr
