  • @stephenhendricks103
    @stephenhendricks103 3 роки тому +4

    The K5 GT-Line, especially with AWD, is a strongly appealing midsize sedan. Internet fan boys will immediately want the K5 GT with its stronger 2.5L turbo engine and DCT but apart from the fact that most won't be able to afford either one they should be careful what they wish for. The biggest weakness of both the K5 GT and the Sonata N-Line is the absence of AWD or even a limited slip differential (either mechanical or electronic) in a vehicle with about 300 HP and over 300 ft lbs of torque. (Even a FWD GTI with far less power has an LSD.)
    What that means is that the power of the larger engine is difficult to access without wheel hop and torque steer. Some may think those "features" are essential to "performance" but experienced "enthusiasts" know better. All in all, the GT-Line with substantial cost savings and the capacity to access the full power of the 1.6L turbo makes a lot of sense.

    I had a 2016 Optima SX Turbo and now I drive a 2019. Both cars are perfect. Not one problem in 90,000 of driving. I got a Kia because you get more for your money and the reliability is great...and they look great too.

    Kia reliability is hit or miss. I have a 2013 Rio and I’ve never had any major problems with it, but my friend has a 2015 Soul and has had to take it to the dealer 3 times. She even needed a new engine. This is all before 100,000 miles.

I think I’m gonna go with the Kia K5 over the Chevy Malibu 🥳🤩

    If I could get any car (mind you I have to pay for it and I am an E-3 in the Marine Corps), it would be this. In black on black. But it is $27.5k brand new and even with a $10-12k down payment I do want a car payment of around $300/mo or less, and it is difficult to make happen. Thank for the review, love that you always get to the new cars unlike many other reviewers who opt for things they like, which may consist of $50-60K or more cars. Liked, and still subbed as always.

    While I looked at this car when shopping I ended up going with the 2021 Toyota Camry SE And glad I did.
