People don’t think like you anymore, Kia’s are a top notch car! People always ask me if my car is a Lexus or what kind of fancy car it is!! So you’re wrong and it’s a great car!
I have the 2023 Kia K5 GT-Line, and to date, I love it. No issues and plenty of power to get around. Even in Smart mode, it moves quickly, and the intelligent tech allows it to shift between normal and sport mode with no problems all around a good car IMO.
@@dylanferreira1338 Total price here at Kia Dothan AL was 36.5 fully packaged. I wanted everything possible to come in the car. Leather seats, power seats, ventilated seating. Sad the car doesn't come with blindside monitoring would have loved that.
ik people that make 100-400k in 3 months and drive a kia k5 or honda civic who cares what people think. stay with cheap brands till your house is payed for
Thats very True. I work with people who make well over 100.000 per year who buy Hyundai and Kia products. I bought a 2021 K5 GT LINE with premium package in 2021. Like it fine. 32.000 miles now, no issues. I have had 3 kias and one Hyundai. All were excellent. That why I'm a repeat customer. Another reason I bought the K5 was I saved thousands with the 0.0 intrest promotion they had.
I bought a Kia K5 and I love it! Also have a Lexus SUV , I don’t care that The Kia is not a prestigious brand, it drives like a dream! Much better than the Lexus, love, love it.
BIG PROBLEMS I thought you were gonna say oh the transmissions go out easy or something no there’s no inside lock when iv never even seen a car with a inside lock😂
What a terrible review. All of these "problems" are based on subjective treatment and preference of the driver. "If you want a status symbol, don't get a kia. Other people don't think highly of the brand. That's a problem" lol
No the heck it's not. Toyota, Honda and other cars don't have locks in the interior. You just hate the fact that the K5 is better for price, looks and drivable.
You are a dolt! Do you own this sports sedan?.I do since 2021. I have had this car for almost 2 years now and it's a wowser. People stop and tell me how beautiful the car looks in parking lots and gas stations including my neighbors and a cop in Toronto. The exhausts make an amazing sound even on normal mode. Again given feedback by onlookers. It's very spacious and comfortable to drive. The car has quality materials all over. The service cost is very low. Looks gorgeous in wolf gray. Yes a 290 hp sports GT is not a car for an uber...the milage in city is 8 kms/ L and on the highway 13km/L with at the Ac on. Had all the bells and whistles plus tech a BMW would have. Beautiful piano black finish. Big boot and great for family trips.its fast on sports and sports plus.. great acceleration. The moon roof is gorgeous and smooth.
I have a 2023 Kia K5 EX, and I have not had any issues with it. I have had it just over a year. It is, by far, one of the best car I have ever owned. I drive it on SMART mode most of the time and my gas mileage is excellent, averaging 30MPG. I do run it SPORT mode, just when entering the freeways and no issues.
Bro your Dad never taught you anything about being a mechanic. Kia K5 GT Line is the easiest Car besides a Chevy to work on period. The most simple system built today. The parts are as cheap as Chevy and just as dependable unless you drive and have knowledge of Mechanical work like this guy ☝️☝️☝️☝️
Dawg, none of this is even true.... I have the 2024 Kia k5 GT line. Every single thing you spoke about, my kia has. I dont know what year youre talking about. It makes a nice engine sound when revving, gas comsumption is average, it has a valet feature,and it has AWD. Im confused on what kia ur driving but mine is loaded
“It’s a Kia it’s a Kia” isn’t empirical data. I own three of these. I gave my red 2021 to my son it has more punch than my new 2025 and my daughters 2024. They all are a smooth drive. No one cares about manual locks on a glove compartment. The center console is big enough to have a lock box sit in there. Mileage on 2021 is 32.4 my daughters 30.6 mine 34.8 but I drive sport mode less.
I own the new K5 2023 and the car is great. You can’t beat the warranty for 125000 miles and gas mileage is 38 a gallon on freeway, and about 27 in the city, which is very good for a car that runs 13’s in a quarter mile. The car has a lot of torque and ride’s extremely smooth. Lots of space in the back seat and overall a really nice car. People that say oh it’s a Kia like it’s a bad thing haven’t drove this car. Kia has come a long way from what it used to be.
Theres a reason for such a long warranty. Its because kia and hyundai make absolutely trash and you will be using that warranty alot when your engine fails over and over again
Btw the only thing that has come along way is the looks of their cars. Ill agree with that. I know because i fell for it too when i bought my 2014 kia optima sx turbo new. You can put lipstick on a pig, its still a pig
If anything this makes me want to buy a K5 even more lol I was expecting transmission problems, electrical maybe engine.. but nope seems like you really went out of your way to look for something to complain about. Almost seems like you’re being sarcastic lol anyways thanks for the video
I never commented on a video before, but the comments u made regarding this car, are so arbitrary and St..p, that I had to leave my comment... this is the WORST car review I've ever seen...
All the things you mentioned are not problems at all, at least not to me, u really got me at the not too loud part, I don’t wanna alarm anyone I wanna be able to get tf out of a scene quick without being known of, this cars perfect
I just bought a 2024 k5 gt-line and I absolutely love it. I've been a mechanic for 7 years and I've driven just about every non-ultra luxury car and I can say that the k5 is a pleasure to drive. I've owned Toyota's, Nissan's, and Hyundai's, but the k5 is the first car I've owned that I actually enjoy driving. Not because is super fast or a race car or anything like that, but is just comfortable, it has all the technologies, and the ride is so smooth.
@@JerrySpringfield1I'm an auto detailer and I must agree with you. The K5 is just a enjoyable ride to drive and smooth. And I love the big amount of trunk space it has. It is just as big as the dodge chargers in terms of trunk space
How’s the shifting with the DCT. I’m debating on buying one of these, for the price point for a brand new car it’s very appealing. I drove manual my whole life, this would be my first auto. Plus it’s slower than my current car.
@@zMurderification The DTC shifts fast and lightning fast down shifts with the paddles. With peak torque coming in at only 1600 rpm with 1/2 throttle it puts you in your seat.
You should take the time to drive a car and get to know it before you buy it and if these are the features you don't like you should not have bought a Kia K5 the rest of us think this is a pretty good car for the money and overall it shoots far above its price point
@mindhunter8772 I keep hearing people say that, but I think you guys are using the wrong terminology, what do you mean by heavy? Is it stiff? Resistant to turning? Please explain so I can accurately judge if it happens to me
The only issue I have is I go through front tires just like he says. I'm on my 2nd set in 30,000 mi. It definitely needs all wheel drive, and /or stiffer suspension to keep those front tires down. Other than that, the car is great. Love the turbo
I had a fiesta ST before my forte GT and even with the Bridgestone tires which were 120 Treadwear I rotated them at 5,000 miles and I still got 30,000mi out of them so rotating them is key on any front wheel drive car. So don't be lazy rotate them more often and enjoy..
If you get your tires rotated with every oil change (roughly evrry 5k miles) you wont run into this issue hardly at all, relax on your throttle, if you're slamming your throttle and spinning your tires or blowing it through turns obviously you're going to destroy your tread and need replacement tires. Just drive like a normal human lol
I got the AWD 1.6 K5. I love it. I had a tuned optima before this. Will be getting the K5 tuned as well once the warranty is up. Literally my only complaint is that the car is a bit slow... hence the need for tuning 😆
If youre worried about what people think, thats your own problem. These are non issues. Car has incredible options for the price. I cant wait to get another
Smash. At this point in my life I don’t give a dime what people think about me or my stuff. I rented at K5 the plain one and I liked it. I’m considering purchasing the fully loaded version. Looking into the 2025 facelift one.
I bought the car at the beginning of this year, I would say my only problem is interior noises. I had the dealer replace the radio unit because the amount of noise it makes. And the whole dashboard squeezes with bumps so I will not buy a kia if you care about noises.
Insecurity about the brand - just dont buy it , go get a honda Wheel spinning - dont drive like an idiot Sound - this is not a V8 so gotta lower your expectations here P.S I don't drive a kia nor owned a kia before , but the comments you made arent valid
You did not do your homework before you purchase the car. You have waisted so much time complaining. Get another one car that fits your need . Sheeesh!!!
I've owned most of the major car brands. My first Kia Optima was best running car I ever owned so upgraded to K5. Runs perfect so just purchased wife a Sportage. I don't have the issues I had witih the Chevys, Fords and Dodges.
Can you gives your take on trees, your probably just as informed on them as your are cars. Here’s something you should never do, give advice about things you not educated on. Why you only have 3k views in a yr.
