heyyy a bit of a random question, but i was wondering what you do to be able afford one of these, one day i want to be able to afford these comfortably with no worries
@@Offensively-normal Was it new or used? What year and model?? I've had 3 kias and 1 Hyundai since 2005, all were excellent! All bought new. I currently have my 17 Hyundai Elantra that just turned 98.000 miles, 0 issues, 0 repairs! In june of 21, i bought the K5 GT LINE with premium package. Just turned 22.000 miles, love it. No issues.
I'd love to see vents in the back for sure. As far as the interior itself i think it is onevof the best in its class. Honda, Toyota, Nissan or Mazda dont even come closr
Hopefully getting the wolf gray/red interior this weekend, I can’t wait. To use the heated steering wheel you have to turn on the rear defroster, correct?
Likewise. They marked it up to 38k but I was able to get it down to 32k out the door. I have the Glacier white same as in this video but with red interior and all the features. Straight off the truck. Only had 8 mi
I don't understand what's up with KIA. I have a 2022 KIA Forte GT, which has the same engine as this K5, but mine puts out 201 hp. My car weights slightly over 3,000 lbs. The K5 is 2 to 3 hundred pounds heavier, but KIA tunes the engine to put out 180 hp. No reason whatsoever for this stupidity. This KONA which also has the same engine puts out 195.
I totally agree. I have a 2018 Elantra sport with the 201hp. If Kia put this same engine in the K5 Gt line, I would upgrade. It boils down to having bragging rights for the most fuel-efficient model.
Such an old remark. Ive owned 4 Korean cars starting in 2005, put over 100.000 miles on each one, no fires. Please explain why I didn't have an engine fire.......
@@johnfranklin5277 I spoke with many mechanics regarding this and many other issues and MOST of them were because of neglect and not doing the maintenance. If you don't take care of the car it wont take care of you. My mother in law has 2011 Tucson and my brother in law has 2014 Tucson with about 150k miles. No fire on either one.
Great review! I just ordered my 2023 gt line AWD about two weeks ago. Can't wait
That's great choice!
@Venath same. I ordered august 13 and they told me 3-4 months. Hopefully it’s sooner than that lol
Did you guys pay over msrp?

I bought mine 2 weeks ago. I am totally in love. The look, the style, the power. Everything. Maybe the best sedan so far.
Congratulations!! Enjoy your new ride!
You did an excellent job on this review of this vehicle
Thank you!
Just got mines 2days I love this car
Congratulations!
You are the best content maker my greetings to you from Iraq I hope you continue
Greetings! Thank you!
They are some of the best looking cars. Had I not owned a Hyundai/Kia product in the past, I would be tempted.
They came a long way.
Did it have any problems?
@@paris8967 it was so bad I promised myself I would never buy another.
@@Offensively-normal oh no 😭😭

Thank you Matt! Great review
Thank you! I am glad you liked it 😀
Thanks for the review!
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching!
I think this may be my next car.
Great choice!
me too but the 2024 is what im going for I think...
Looks great on the outside but the inside is basic. No ac vents in the back. They should have added led lights on the inside. Give it a vibe.
I'd love to see vents in the back for sure. As far as the interior itself i think it is onevof the best in its class. Honda, Toyota, Nissan or Mazda dont even come closr
Led interior lights comes with the premium package as well as the panoramic sunroof, and more goodies.

Good choice! Not sure about the steering wheel.
Which would u proffer,this all the Altima sr ?
If you are talking about just an SR than definitely K5. I have not driven the SR VC turbo so I cant say in that case.
Does the AWD not come with the red seats and interior?
No it is not standard equipment. You can choose that on both GT line FWD and AWD.
Does this car have the wifi Hotspot?
Yes, as long as it is equipped with Kia Navigation. You must subscribe to Kia Connect and activate the Hotspot. Its powered by Verizon.
@@MattTheCarguy Thats great. Thanks for your help. I think im wanting the new 2024 model any idea on how long the wait is for 1?
Should I wait for the GT or purchase the GT line now. The GT are hard to find
If you like performance it will be worth the wait 😀
What's the price?
MSRP on this was 30,830.00 I am not a dealer so please contact them directly for more info. Link and phone number in the description of the video.
I bought one a few days ago, the dealership I bought from marked up the price 6k because of availability. Ended up being 36k
Same hear, my dealer did the same.
Likewise. They marked it up to 38k but I was able to get it down to 32k out the door. I have the Glacier white same as in this video but with red interior and all the features. Straight off the truck. Only had 8 mi
The k5 is Similar to the Hyundai Sonata
Same powertrain just different clothes 😃
@@MattTheCarguy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

True, but thats why they have the 2.5 T in K5 GT and 2.0T in Kona N for the "performance" line

....Until it catches on fire
I think they fixed that issue as 2023 models are not part of that recall.
