Don’t be fooled, dealers are already doing insane mark ups! Tried getting this but they wanted to add $15k in mark ups … dealerships need to stop existing
What ??? Try a different kia, I just got a GT 2025 for sticker, mine was 39k, just negotiate with them and tell them what you want and that you mean business.
That’s crazy man ! Mines not the turbo model , but has all the upgrades the turbo model does . And mine was 31k and the markup was only 1k . I got mine at Matt blatt kia in Tomsriver New Jersey . Was the first one they had .
Just got a 25 Gt in matte steel gray with the gt1 package, in love with it. Absolutely gorgeous car. I had a 330 2023 with a m package and this car is 2x better inside and out
@@brobob52 great driving comfortability in city and highway, averaging 26/27 since I’ve gotten the vehicle. No cons as of yet, great car picks up quick and technology is the latest , very comfortable seats. No ambient lighting it can definitely use some
I’m glad you love yours! I’m debating this car as well! I saw in another video that, while it doesn’t have a head up display, it does show the navigation directions in the digital gauge cluster. Have you used this and do you find it to be practical?
This is a great car..prefer with the newly featured 2.5 L engine. A twin to the Sonata. Save a lot and increase the already good value proposition: Go base LXS, go front drive, get standard paint color. You lose the power seat. You also avoid the potentially troublesome sun roof. Take care of this car and I think it is a "long miler". I see advantages to Accord and Camry hybrids..but they are lotsa $ more! Very good review, as always! The upcoming Civic sedan hybrid Sport would also be a fun comparison, especially if a smaller size is ok for you!
Great video. I’m interested as long as dealers don’t start the over MSRP game. That game is not for me. Love all the high tech. Also love the non turbo engine.
For the money this car looks like a great deal. Was considering getting another WRX, but they're just too raw and unrefined. This should do just fine. Much quieter, much more comfortable ride, and generally more refined than the WRX. This should have a sufficient amount of AWD power.
I saw a gt in my area with the gt1 package that was msrp and a week later a mysterious up charge led it to $43k, a looks like some of these thieving dealers are still trying to market adjust vehicles

How would recalls be handled? 😂
@@magnoliap5824Same as any other recall.
@@leer4009 I wouldn't pay a $1 marked up
Great looking car with all those features for 33K. KIA has come a long way. Another great review 👍. Almost 10K subs.
Thanks Jack. Almost 10k. Hopefully hit it tomorrow. 👍
@@chabbysrides Great job pal.
Thanks! Really appreciate the support.
Just picked mine up this week. Absolutely love it. The tech is unbelievable. Love the car and the matte paint is really badass. Get you one.
Congrats! Enjoy! Thanks for tuning in.

Pros, cons? How has fuel economy been. Also is there ambient lighting.
@@brobob52 great driving comfortability in city and highway, averaging 26/27 since I’ve gotten the vehicle. No cons as of yet, great car picks up quick and technology is the latest , very comfortable seats. No ambient lighting it can definitely use some
@nikitasamsonov2909 that's great man. Definitely considering getting one. Only thing holding me back is reliability. Otherwise sounds amazing.
I just ordered my 25 K5 GT, did you preorder, how long did it take to come in?
Just got mine this weekend passed . Same trim and everything . LOVE THIS CAR.
Congratulations! Enjoy! Thanks for tuning in and the feedback. Much appreciated.
Does it have ambient lighting.
@@brobob52 I haven’t driven at night yet .
@@leer4009 no prob. Please update when u have the chance 💪🏾

Love how Kia and Hyundai share the same software

Thanks Louis. They did a good job on this one.
You can get the GT-Line FWD or AWD without the sunroof, it's an added package for $2000 that comes with the Bose sound system.
i wish hyundai had light keys. my basketball shorts always fall of with the grenade sized fobs.
The rear windows have chrome trim...it stops abruptly and the front doors dont!! Looks weird.
U didn't click the one thing i wanted u to lol i wanted u to click lights to see if it has ambient lighting
I did see them on the gt, they were blue. I never saw if you can change them.
@@hossinman7 hope u can
Not GT-Line
Well done. I like it and I am considering getting one.
Thanks! Best of luck in your search. Thanks for tuning in.
Great video. I’m interested as long as dealers don’t start the over MSRP game. That game is not for me. Love all the high tech. Also love the non turbo engine.
Thanks! Agreed. Better engine choice and never pay a markup. Thanks for tuning in.
nice camera set up
Correction : not 12.3 inch digital dash. It's just the center 4 inch one.
Nice looking car. Any word on the k4.
I haven’t heard a peep yet, but I’ll get one filmed once they hit dealer lots in my area.
The k4 are supposed to come out this fall.

Why can’t you option awd with the higher horsepower motor? 290hp
Look at my car 😍✨
i’m guessing they don’t have the red seats as an option anymore huh?
Yes they do. Looks like you can get the red seats with Wolf Grey paint.
@@chabbysrides okay perfect, thank you!
I test drove a white K5 GT Line AWD yesterday that had the red seats. Looks really nice.

Such bs lol I just got mine for sticker it was 39k, got it from greenway Kia in Orlando
@nikitasamsonov2909 I am on the West Coast, so maybe it's different, but this is real. Even the k5 reddit has someone posting about this with proof.
@@nikitasamsonov2909thanks for this info. I’m in the Tampa area and seen some markups at some. I’m definitely trying to buy
You can tell he's not driving the same car he started the review with.
