The K5 GT is a really good offer especially for the price. Really only rivaled by the Civic Type-R for straight line speed in the $30k fwd segment. But the Stinger is still just on another planet for speed and features. It just depends if someone finds the Stinger to really be 20k better. Though it's now an even more compelling proposition now that the Gt-Lines got the K5GT's 2.5T and offers to pair it with awd for not all that much more. I do have to admit, if they ever gave the K5GT awd (or even a proper differential), it'd become an even more serious threat than it already is. It makes me wonder what would happen if Hyundai did a Sonata N.
crazy, $20K diff. in U.S. and only $10-$13K diff. here, if 2021 or 2022... Anyone looking for a Stinger in Canada ? Grab 2021 if you can !! in U.S. the K5 GT is a Steal !!
Just got the 2022 Stinger Scorpion all black. I'm kind of happy I checked out this video, because I was thinking about the K5, which is even more rare than Stinger here lol. I had a forte 2010 until just last week. KIA gets a lot of crap, but they still make good cars and reliable enough. They are the new Toyota of today except for the fact that they are going full electric now a days. When I went to the dealership, it felt like the Stinger was out of place in the lot. EV6s all around you!
Hey Folks. I'll be at Shannonville Motorsport Park (Belleville, Ontario area) this Sunday, July 18th, from 10am to 5pm . Come by with your cool car of any kind, and lets meet, greet, have fun racing and make new friends.. Msg. me. * Also, I'll be Going to TMP in Cayuga again soon too.. Contact me if have a cool car you'd like to race and we can video for my channel.
I'm debating between the two of these cars, I know stinger is better, but here InUSA difference between the K5 GT and the Stinger gt2 are almost $20k so I think I will go with K5 GT fully loaded, also has the 360 surrounding view, at least the one I tested.
I’m thinking bout one two but I own 2 Lexus n not sure if this will hold up like my IS if I trade it in n I’m concerned wit sound system cause the mark levinson in both my IS350 n even my daily es330 sounds great
Hopefully, soon when I'm down that way... msg. re: some days/times that coincide with TMP test n tune and I'll come by few hours early for test drive and review.
The Harmon Kardon system in the stinger sounds amazing, I didn't even realize it had subs under the seats. My Optima has the 9 speaker Harmon Kardon system thats sounds good as well. Kia shouldve kept Harmon Kardon instead of going with Bose in the K5. Just my preference
comes down to money i guess. it all adds up and bose is likely just fine.. I didn't test it or hear it. Nem verified stingers system sounded better, knowing his and then hearing mine on a bassy station and overall sound
I definitely want to get a stinger & the Harmon Kardon sound system is just amazing, but the 14 speaker Bose in my Q50s is not far from it & the G70 has lexicon speakers & it just doesn’t sound good at all to me personally

So, I'm gong to Shannonville again today, to test the new Snorkel Air scoops.. Anyone Going as well ? Today 5:30pm to 8:30pm.. mix and match, which means you get to do 1/4 mile strip AND run on on their track !! for ONLY $60. it's only 3 ours, and sometimes it's a longer period, so short, but it's a good deal .. msg me if going out

The stringer is a better car if you want the power. K5 seems like the overall better car for the price. Could always swap out the speakers with he mo eg you will save and have a way way better sounding system then the stinger
its not only the sound system. its better & active suspension, more power , more luxury appointments a few places, better brakes & tires, real nappa leather, more seat adjustments, ........ well worth $12k more.. both are great for the money stinger is worth the extra.. it matches $75k cars
@@rpmautoreviews9249 better suspension, brakes, and tires for more power is a must, really can't count that imo. Nappa leather is cool, my mom owns a Genesis but I will take comfort over that. Plenty of TH-camrs said the k5 is better in that area. Where I live the stinger is jacked up roughly around 50k. While the k5 is around 23k
"You really are driving around in a $70k car for $50k." No, you're not. Much respect to the Stinger GT, as it's a good car and a good value for the money. But it doesn't compete with $70k cars. An RS3, for example, will absolutely smoke it.
I don't see where this is even a fair comparison. I think the K5 GT is a better bargain, even though the Stinger has much better performance. I mean, it's about 20k more, so I would expect it to be a better performing vehicle. lol Plus as far as looks are concerned, I think the K5 looks much cooler. Considering the Stinger is a high performance model, I think it should look much sportier and more aggressive that it does. Maybe they're going for the sleeper vibe, but it certainly doesn't have the looks of the K5, N Line or TRD in my opinion.
Stinger is super sporty & cool looking, for most. Its not just faster. did you watch video to see all the differences ? K5 is pretty cool looking & a great car too.
@@rpmautoreviews9249 Yeah, I saw the differences. I was just saying these aren't even in the same category. It's like comparing a Shelby Mustang to a Mustang GT. The Stinger is the high performance model. Yes, it's awesome for sure, but the Stinger driver seemed a little too enthusiastic in pointing out things like I have 15 speakers they have 13, etc.... Not dogging the Stinger, it's just not fair to the K5.
@@stonemichaels1774 mine has 15 speakers, i believe. 3 per door, one front center, & 2 6" subs. Stinger has real leather seats, alacantara suede head liner, adaptive suspension, handles much better, larger bembro brake system, hydralic rear hatch, power steering wheel, many seat adjustments, even pssngr seat has lumbar adjustment, not only faster.
@@stonemichaels1774 it was a friendly kia comoarison. Is it the better bargain, its pretty close i believe, with ALL the extra features the Stinger has. not more $ for only 1-2 faster related features. I'd be happy with either as my daily, for sure. it was dumb of Kia not to give k5 gt awd system, what a launcher it would be 😃
stinger great value for money. but you are not driving a 70k car for 50 k. no way. theres more to a car then performance. also space would be a determining factor between the two if your constantly hauling people in the back. I am 6 foot tall. and i have to move my seat up to give people space if they sit behind me.
Hello Loyal viewers of my channel. My account on this platform had been suspended due to me posting a news briefing on another channel.

Forte gt and k5 gt way different. Forte gt is a go cart in traffic, in and out, gas and go.....the k5 is a beast. Fits in same small spots as the forte but just blows just about anybody away. The Forte GT will always play catch up to the K5 GT. Also, big difference in the 7 speed dry DCT and the Wet 8 speed DCT. I love my Forte GT but i love my K5 GT more.
@@jayniks74 bro what are you talking about lol there’s so many channels and ppl who have upgraded their forte me included that can make it more powerful than a k5 lol it’s a 4 cylinder engine on both😂😂 if you really wanted an upgrade you should of gotten the stinger you just wasted your money on a k5 🥲

Kias perfect car would look like a k5 in the front stinger in the back powertrain of the stinger aside from the transmission of the k5.
I prefer the stingers front end tbh but both are very sexy and a combo of both could be a game changer

That color on the k5 is beautiful
The K5 has the looks and the stinger has the power. WTF!!!
I believe the Stinger has the sexier sports car look... when you see it in your rear view mirror, you'll know what I mean
I have a co worker with a K5 that parks next to my Stinger GT2. While I appreciate the K5, I am far from jealous.
K5 GT will hang with the Stinger GT Line (2.5t and the 2.0t). I think both cars are beautiful.
Stinger definitely has the looks as well as the power
Man, this was thorough!
Thanks, though I actually believe I wasn't ready with a proper plan, to make sure we cover in more brief, quick points... WE gotta find curvy roads

The Stinger GT line has 10 more HP then K5 GT and awd. But no DCT.
Homie lowkey look high asl😂😂😂
He might be fried 😆
im getting a K5 GT in 2 weeks Im just happy im not a small fish . Go recon their drag races. it will suprise you.
How you liking the K5 so far?
I'd love the k5 gt but I'll wait and see if they release it on AWD, FWD is a big no for me. If not stinger it is.
Limited slip differential would be nice also. AWD K5 GT would take sales away from the Stinger.
