Adam Tan And your review of your personal vehicle is the best review of the features of the vehicle (no test drive shown). You might feel like you "hijacked" viewers if you included a link to your review, but I don't have any qualms about that.

6:30 The Kia has a semi automatic (7-speed dry clutch DSG). Tiptronic is a registered trademark, and it is owned by German sports car maker Porsche, who licenses it for use by others such as Volkswagen,Audi and Skoda.
Apparently they are designed to slip the clutch to maintain the drive train.so you won't get a hard take off.This is definitely a car I will be looking at.Cheers for review
Thanks for the Info. The other thing I thought of later was that I forgot to turn off the traction control so maybe that also affected the hard take off.
Hey mate great review! Would you say city driving is really bad with this car? In regards to the jerkiness and moving in slow traffic. That’s one thing that’s making me want to get the sport+ version instead of the GT.
Hey Vien, I think city driving is fine with this. It just does not like some of the B grade city roads with potholes ect.. as the ride becomes compromised.
Thanks mate, i ordered the platnium as well but im still not sure i made the right choice because the steel grey looks nice as well, the dealer didnt have any of these colour to look at
@@WhatsTheCarLike yes, that component is the "wet clutch plates" and also under, say 2,200rpm, the turbo hasn't yet spooled up much. The "dual clutch auto's" like this one, are manual gearboxes with elec controlled wet clutches (ie, in the gearbox and it's oil) and due to lack of low rev engine power (small size engine with turbo) have challenges getting cleanly off the line. They don't have the power to break themselves at such low raves, its inherently abrupt at low speed. Conventional torque converter trans are far superior unless in a high performance application, which car is not, just as an aside. Keep up with review, thanks mate !
Its a friends car, I helped him with the purchase, from memory he paid $32,500 including on road costs. Took a fair bit of bargaining though with different dealers
Thanks for the comments. I m going to take you suggestion on board and change it up for my next reviews so there is some videos of the car driving from the outside.
Excellent review, mate. Getting the sedan version. Gotta be Sunset Orange. Thanks, mate.
Thanks, congrats on the new purchase. Enjoy the car
The only colour and body to have.
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🇦🇺
Got mine 4 weeks ago.
5000kms annnnd loving it.
Sunset Orange 🔥👍
Who knew that Dave Hughes was so good at car reviews?
I just bought one in Snow White Pearl! Awesome video :)
You will enjoy it. Nice choice in colour
@@WhatsTheCarLike the steel gray looks great too :)
The owner actually had the car coated with Brila Glass Coating, which gives it an even glossier look.

That's interesting I didn't know that Tiptronic is a registered trademark. Thanks for the heads up.
4 weeks and 5000kms with my sunset orange GT sedan.
Love it.
And its definitely firmer and lower than the standard cerato.
Great to hear!
Hi what sort of fuel economy are you getting ?
In the city the car was getting around 9lt/100km. On the highway just under 7lt/100km
Sunset Orange 🔥👍
Solo highway 5.7/100
3 up 6.1
Town mid 6/100
Excellent and thorough review of my exact car, love it!
Thanks for the comments, you have a nice car!
@@WhatsTheCarLike Thank you!
Great review. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Funny how the my22 model basically addressed almost every issue with the my21 model. Brilliant.

Every man with a camera is a reviewer.
Good! I like hearing their opinions.

Nice review mate, what do you think of the platinum graphite
I just bought a GT in platinum graphite and it looks fucking mean bro!
Highly recommend, especially brings out the red grill
Thanks mate, i ordered the platnium as well but im still not sure i made the right choice because the steel grey looks nice as well, the dealer didnt have any of these colour to look at
It looks really good in platinum graphite
Hey mate how have you found the dct transmission in slow traffic, is it as troublesome as people say? And has it been reliable?
Hey, I didnt notice any issues with the transmission in slow traffic.
Nice review. Subscribing
Thanks for the sub!
what year?!!
2020
"it just doesn't get going at the start for some reason" it's called "turbo lag" that is the reason
Thanks for the comment. Its slow of the line, not in the low rev range which would be turbo lag.
@@WhatsTheCarLike slow off the line is in the "low rev range" I'm sorry but you aren't making sense
Hey Cameron, it was found that the delay off the line is due to the gearbox, to help preserve certain components.
@@WhatsTheCarLike yes, that component is the "wet clutch plates" and also under, say 2,200rpm, the turbo hasn't yet spooled up much.

I am looking to buy a budget car within 30k , all the options I see in market are quite small from inside, this seems having plentiful space
Hi Aditya, I am pretty impressed with the space in this for a small car. Their is a fair amount of space.
This guy is handsome
what price did you pay, haggle?
Its a friends car, I helped him with the purchase, from memory he paid $32,500 including on road costs. Took a fair bit of bargaining though with different dealers
Same engine as a i30 N-line you mean...
yep, good pick up
It's got a taco on the left?? Is it Mexican?
Its Australia
Why you take yourself on camera ? It is not interesting . I want to see the road
Thanks for the comments. I m going to take you suggestion on board and change it up for my next reviews so there is some videos of the car driving from the outside.
