The Kia EV6 GT is the first semi-affordable (yes, we know $62,000 is not affordable for most people) electric sports car to deliver the kind of dynamics enthusiasts would truly appreciate. It is very fast, with 576 all-wheel-drive horsepower on tap, with adaptive suspension, adjustable regenerative braking, sporty bucket seats, and most importantly of all, a communicative, playful, balanced chassis. Although no sports EV is truly affordable yet, the EV6 GT moves in the right direction.
Kia provided the vehicle and insurance for a week for this review.

The EV6 GT is actually very efficient. You just need to know how to drive it. Put it in Eco mode on Regen level 3 which turns off front motor above 15 mph and don't accelerate that strong. In Summer months in city and slow (
BULLSHIT....cold weather 100 miles top--hot 115 weather with air on same. What fool is going to spend $60K for a race car and put it in ECO mode and drive like a bitch anyway.....nobody but u.
I'm doing exactly that. No need to keep the car in Sport or Normal mode in rush hour. I've been averaging about 307 miles of range in ECO mode in regular commuting.
@@jojoleaf2112 Try auto regen instead - long press right paddle to do this. It'll automatically change the regen for you based on what's up ahead - I use that with the auto regen all the way to the right so that I don't scrub off speed too quickly when coming off the accelerator.
@@PhilJohn1980 Thanks. I'll take a look.
Thanks for letting us join for your canyon run in the wet! I got rid of a Mach-E GT Performance for my EV6 GT about 6 months ago, and haven't regreted it at all. My wife doesn't drive my car, so the manual seats aren't an issue for me. One minor (hard-to-discover) feature: if you long-press the HVAC panel toggle for 5 seconds, you'll get a hidden option to decide whether you want the shared panel to default when not in use to last mode, HVAC mode, or infotainment mode. Solves the main issue with that. Finally, when summer was over, I replaced the cruddy Goodyears with Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons. I've been much happier with them.
What was wrong with the original tires
@@001sander2 in the States the GT comes with Goodyear F1 summer tires. They don't have good grip and have poor wet performance. You can easily squeel the wheels because they just suck. I replaced them with good Michelin all seasons and I went a width up, 265. I might have sent the Goodyear's off with a little drift mode experiment too 💨
OEM tires suck on most cars. I swap them out after a year just to not be wasteful. Luckily that was only 25k miles lol
The poaching of BMW M-Sport and Porsche engineers by Hyundai (Head of BMW M-Sport in 2015) and KIA(Multiple Porsche and BMW designers) was genius. Starting with the first i30N, the Koreans have been killing it. There is an interview with the (now) Hyundai Head of R&D where he says that he was given basically free reign to reimagine what a fun Hyundai would be
The problem is it will take a generation or two to get rid of their reputation. To me, it's still just a Kia, and I'm only 30.
And will always continue to be known as unreliable disposable junk
Hey Matt, glad you liked the car. I've had my EV6 GT since July and I'm still blown away by the performance and agility of the car every time I drive it. I can't recommend it enough as long as you can live with its few shortcomings, one of which being the overall range. I'm super excited to see what people like yourself feel about the upcoming Ioniq 5 N and to see if any of those changes come to future EV6 models.
Great video as always!
The paddles will do what his brain wanted them to do with the Ioniq 5N!
What range are you getting?
@@001sander2 I get anywhere between 180 and 240 depending on temperature and how spicy I'm driving. This car is not efficient as Matt points out, but it does charge seriously fast in road trips provided Electrify America cooperates.
What do you mean "performance"? Why does anyone care how this car "handles"? It's a pig. Nobody with a decent understanding of driving gives a shit about these disgusting ev pigs.
@@001sander2 With cars like this, massively depends how much Lead is in your foot.
Matt! Your reviews are part of the reason I’ve bought my last few cars (Fiesta ST on E30, Mach E) so I’m stoked that I am finally validated for buying my EV6 GT a month ago lol. I love this car! I thought I was a diehard manual transmission guy but as a daily I’ll choose the Kia over anything else in the garage these days. My wife’s Model 3 is fine but I dare the Tesla stans to drive this and say it’s not better in almost every way.
(Fanboy side note, as a musician I can play on the biggest stages in the world without getting nervous, but I couldn’t think of anything to talk to you about in the Jackson Market line a couple months ago!)
Over the past year I've sampled many EVs on Turo. While I love the Lucid Air, this car at half the price is real value. Leave the long trips to other cars, use this for daily errands. Even at 3 miles per kwhr, a 100 mile day costs 1 dollar using off peak electric rates. In our family, the GT button stands for Giggle Time!
Just wanted to say, I actually really like that you guys are returning to lower production value, "OneTake" style videos. Its much more quintessential Smoking Tire and was always what made this channel stand out, besides Matt and Zach of couse.
Loving this! So happy to hear such great praise for these, and reading the comments loads of people agree and I see these all the time in Sweden!
I was a big fan of the first gen KIA Niro EV, was the champion for years until recently, only perhaps beaten by Tesla but just barely and I'd have a KIA over a Tesla any day.
Top of the range Plaid vs a KIA Soul EV, I'd have the soul. I wish I had more hands on experience. I got to have a look in a Niro some years ago but never been in one on the roads... But lots of people around has had different KIA's and the recent models, say 2015 and onwards, or 17 and onwards seem so good, before that the dynamics on some of them, damping could be very poor in what little experience I've had.
I love my EV6 AWD GT-Line in Runway Red! We're currently looking at replacing my wife's "around town" car with an EV and feel so spoiled by the EV6's crazy fast charging and overall refinement that we haven't been able to settle on something comparably good (albeit smaller) to pair it with.
Great review - totally agree! Best part of this car is how much faster it charges than the Mach-E but if you charge at home most of the time, it doesn't really matter
I hired off the record to take care of a ticket in may of 2023. The lawyer assigned to my case ignored the ticket and court dates. I ended up getting a point and that point is now going to cost me $800 a year from my insurance. Stop recommending them.
Ngl I used them and it worked for me I got my points taken off and speeding ticket reduced to not following road signs or something like that. My guess is it really depends on the lawyer they assign and it sounds like you got dealt a pretty bad hand.
@@AnthonySchell well I wouldn’t recommend anyone getting a bad lawyer. Pick your own lawyer. Then it won’t be a problem.
Used them in Houston in September. Worked as advertised.
@@SirJamesTND after what happened I would only recommend hiring a lawyer directly. Your next one could be a bad one.
You’re still dealing with humans. Mistakes happen, but your single experience isn’t an overall representation of anything. The reviews across the board seemed to very positive
Great content as always, Matt. I look forward to your take on a GT line AWD. I’m 4k miles into my EV6 Limited Edition (comparable to a GT-Line AWD), and it might well be the best all around daily I’ve ever owned. In Eco mode, it’s silky smooth and a joy to drive. Sport mode gives it an edgier personality with excellent acceleration (much quicker than my E46 M3). Suspension tuning is really good even without the adjustable dampers, and the steering is very responsive, I’m averaging 3.5 mi/kWh since new with over half of my mileage at freeway speeds (70+) where EVs aren’t as efficient, and the 800v architecture makes fast charging a breeze on road trips. Seats are comfortable, stereo is very good, and unlike the Model 3/Y and Mach-E, the interior feels like a $60k car and not a $35k car. I really like the button panel below the MMI…it means not having to dig through the main screen to adjust the climate control and change basic audio settings. Of course, no car is perfect. At 6’0”, the corners of the dash are slightly cut off by the steering wheel, so I tend to use the HUD. I’m puzzled as to why the remotes aren’t keyed to a specific driver seat/mirror setting. And the seat heating/ventilation buttons at the leading edge of the center console are easy to hit accidentally with the heel of your hand when operating the main screen if you’re not careful. But these are nits. It’s vastly better than any EV anywhere near its price point, and it’s keeping me very entertained while I wait for my Integra Type S to show up someday. Keep up the great work!
I am surprised at Matt’s low efficiency in the GT. I have one and in my first 2000+ miles I’m averaging 3.4 miles/ kWh. I drive mostly in Normal mode with enough GT blasts to keep me happy. If I drive conservatively, I can get nearly 300 miles of range. I do live in the SF Bay Area where the weather is mild so that helps. I was OK with the EPA rating of 206 miles, so the range I’m getting has been a very nice surprise. I had a BMW i4 M50 on order but it was taking forever and after one test drive in the Kia, I was sold. I actually like it more than the BMW, and I’m a BMW guy who has owned them for years. Since my wife doesn’t drive the car, the manual seats are fine. In fact, they are incredibly comfortable and supportive. I love the car.
At 1800 miles our current consumption is 3.7mi/kwh in the GT. I am sure we could get better if we tried. My wife and I have no issue with the manual seats BTW.
I'll backup your claims. The EV6 GT is actually very efficient. You just need to know how to drive it. Put it in Eco mode on Regen level 3 which turns off front motor about 15 mph and don't accelerate that strong. In Summer months in city and slow (
I'm getting around 2mileskwh In winter in UK and 2.5-3 in summer. But its enough to get where I need to go and charges fast if needing a fill up while out
I've spent some time in a non-GT EV6 and you are absolutely right about the packaging, it is very good
Bought EV6 Wind AWD 2 weeks ago. Most fun car I ever had. Has tech package. The seat automatically sliding back to help me get in and out is great. Two memory seat positions.
Very fast acceleration in Sport mode.
The main negative is driving in country at night. I need to turn left off the paved road onto our gravel town road. You can see the turn in the headlights at night but by the time I am ready to turn the gravel road has disappeared into the dark. I need to make sure there is no traffic and angle the vehicle into the oncoming lane to get the headlights on the road. If feels unsafe. I had only one other car with this problem, my old Scion.
Another problem is winter driving. There are so many safety features involving braking and steering. When you are driving on Icy roads I often drive in two lanes to try to find some less icy path for driving on. The last thing I want any care to do is brake in this situation. I could easily spin out. i know you can turn all this off but you need to do several things in the menu to achieve this. I could easily forget on of the settings.
One tip, If you want to get this car consider used. The 22 version is almost the same as the newest one. I found a lease return with 17,00 miles but looked like new. The original sticker price was 55,000, I bought it for $34,500. So if had $20,000 depreciation in 24 months. Save your money. We techies want the latest but this choice is fine. Buy a new car in 2 years when the new battery technology is integrated with a lot more range and lower cost.
I definitely like the Wind much better than the GT. More comfortable seating, better range, tech package, 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds.
you forgot the 110 mile range in extreme weather
I have been driving at 0 F. and getting about a 220 mile range. Summer range should be around 280 to 300, will see. ✌
@@chadhaire1711
Damn the scenery was EPIC and we got to enjoy it with the old format where we can see the road. Thank you!
I have gotten 260 miles out of my EV6GT in eco. And that's with some shenanigans mixed in.
These things look great in person. The gold color is great, too.
Great review, Matt!
Fabulous cars! see alot of them here in the UK. You are going to love the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N when it lands! with the virtual gearbox!
This was a great review! As always, you're the real deal! I am looking forward to watching your review of the 2024 Model 3 Highland Performance and later on the Model Y Juniper Performance. :)
I'm very curious to see what you think of the Ionic5 N once you get your hands on it! I feel the suspension is going to be stiffer and more "track" oriented in that car but I've seen journalists give it high praise from the few review that have come out.
2023 GT Line single motor and I get 350 miles on ECO mode without heat or A/C- Temps right now at 30°F-40°F in the mornings ..... Obviously I get less milage running heat and AC but if you use sport mode correctly you can get down the road easy and still conserve battery.... I do not own a Tesla but I have 2 friends that do and they actually really enjoy the EV6
Matt, great video as usual. As you know, we don’t buy performance cars for efficiency. The GT is phenomenal. The climate/audio controls are customizable so you can choose a default to revert to every time (ie revert to default audio after you switch to adjust climate and vice versa) or leave it at audio or leave it at climate and manually switch back and forth. You get used to the convenience of actually having direct buttons below vs all on screen controls. PS: this beat a M3DMPerf on another channels “u-race”.
I wish Kia would pass on these suspension improvements to the regular EV6. I really don't need 450hp, and I do want more range and power memory seats.
In general, I wish more EVs had versions that handle better, but are otherwise good everyday cars.
Matt's facial hair creeping into the sunglasses zone is truly impressive
Month and half on the road with my EV6 Wind. Very pleased with it. The button panel can be set permanently in one or other mode. The EV6 Wind does have power seats. And the AWD is super fun and plenty fast. Obviously not over 500 hp, but 4.6 seconds 0-60 is plenty fast for me.
Thanks Matt.
Great video Matt!
Was that a salt truck in the background? I thought road salt was illegal in California? Or is that a national park thing?
Everything is illegal in CA
@@smokesgtpthat's how they keep it so nice
Great review Matt! Thanks for giving the GT a one take! Glad to see you "get it" about what makes the GT so special. Little known fact, the designer on the GT is non other than Mr M3 himself, Dr Biermann formerly of BMW fame. The handling definitely shows his influence.
The ride on the GTLine is nothing close to the GT, it is boaty McFloaty. As a performance car guy myself I was disappointed with it immediately.
In regards to GT range, many of us are seeing substantially higher range than the EPA. Def a big miss on the no power seats, the buckets are amazingly comfy, but no memory/power is a big bummer. I got one of the 1st GT's a year ago, love it every day I drive it!
Really awesome commentary
Anxious for the comparison with a GT line
Why are there shift paddles on the steering column??
Nice review. I predict power seats will be included in the GT within a couple years.
Perfect timing!
What's up with the green calipers? Stock? 😳
I would go through so many tires.
Matt, maybe the ioniq5 N will have power seats. My rwd mid trim ioniq5 has the power seats and it gets 3.9 mi/kWh but it NEEDs better dampers. It’s so over sprung.
i5N will not have power seats!
100k is a lot of money. Basically you can buy any regular people car and some used high end cars
You just made Christmas shopping for my old man that much easier. Much appreciated Fanttik & Smoking Tire!
I own an ioniq 5. If the N version has the same range as the regular I’d consider the upgrade but can’t imagine spending 65k plus for 200 miles of range
Good to hear there's another fun ev out there. Idk if i could ever bear dropping $62k on an electric suv, but it is a fair price relative to the competition.
Hi Matt - Recommend!
I have the ‘23 AWD GTline and love it(with electric seats +2 memory presets!
The electronic toggle between HVAC and Media should remain in the last used mode.
I can travel from Kelowna to Vancouver ~250miles on one charge.
PS - just started TSTPodcast at #1. Kudos to the evolution.
Keep it up Smoking Tire!👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Long-press the mode toggle button and you can change the behavior from "last used" to default to either HVAC or infotainment. Solves the main complaint, which is that you don't look at what mode it's in before you adjust a knob
EVs are like 60s muscle cars; horsepower matters less to me than balanced weight and handling
Teslas also have balanced weight and good handling...
I wonder if you can retrofit the lower trim electric seats with memory into the GT.
non-GT seats are significantly less bolstered -- trust me, you need the bolstering with this car!
Apparently the base version of the EV6 is very efficient (called the Air in Aus)
2.8 mi/kWh in town? Oof. My Mach-E GT (not the performance edition) does a solid 3.5 mi/kWh in mixed driving here on Long Island during the warmer months, and at least 3 even in winter. Also, I happen to like the looks of the Mach-E far better than those of the EV6. Still, I appreciate the EV6 GT for everything it can do.
Can't wait for you to try the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N!
5N is cooming soon in the U.S. with ventilated bucket seat and better handling even if it has longer wheelbase than ev6 gt.
In S. Korea, 5N is only 5.6% more expensive than ev6 gt.
Have you tried the Ioniq 5?
Memory seats are life changing when your spouse is 1ft shorter lol, one of the reasons we got the Mazda3 Turbo over the Elantra N, GTI etc
Really look forward to the ionic 5 N for comparison
Ionic 5N: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Does it have split personality disorder?
Just gives me more hope for the upcoming Ioniq 5 N
Model S Plaid is 4776 lbs, has 3 motors and 100kwh pack. Not sure if EV6 is on the lighter side.
How much does that EV6 GT weigh? Is it almost 4,800 lbs? Why is that acceptable?
Ill keep my Tesla Model Y Performance for so many reasons.
Right!? Matt has been anti Tesla for the entire time with no good reason he likes to forget about all the features that Tesla offers that no other car does just because he wants a physical "on" button
@@peanutbutterpadre1519yeah like Tesla removing reliable parking sensors and relying on the camera? It's TERRIBLE and unusable, not even basic 360* camera views either.
@@meatpunch9144 360 view is a gimmick and i drive teslas every week they accurately tell me how far away i am from something to the inch and it shows a live 3d model of the surrounding 30 ft idk why people like you pretend they have experience when all you have is "hate news"
Matt: "cyber that's a awful word uh that I thought was done in the 90s." Tomorrow is CYBER MONDAY...
I will bring my red ‘23 RS6 out to see you soon. Electronic speed limiter is set at the factory at 190 !
Cyber? Shoutout Demolition Man.
he said that on Cyber Monday weekend LOL
Our local dealership has a 2023 GT for $45k. Is that a good deal?
NO...but it used for $22,000 in a year
I think the manual seats was a compromise to get a little more mileage out of it. What would be a nice middle ground is reduced the power, to 400 hp and put everything back in that you want shocks and electrically adjustable seats.
that amount of weight would mean next to nothing for performance/range. it's almost assuredly a byproduct of parts sharing, as these seats are almost identical to those in the Elantra N, which were also manual.
@@kidcubi9675 ^^ THIS. Ioniq 5N will clock in at $70k+ MSRP with essentially the same seats
Its not acceptable at this price/
@@zoltrix7779 manual seats in various $100k-$300k Porsches and no one cares. But manual seats in a $70k Kia? Unacceptable, apparently.
@@kidcubi9675 Yeah, a 911, no Macan or Cayenne has manual seats.
Nice car only wheels not for day use I hope the make it 265/50r19
21 inch wheels? Jesus Christ this needs to stop.
"coming in 2025 22" wheels coming standard!"
Yeah, manual seats would do it for me lol
I trust SavageGeese's take a bit more.
If the lower trims have a seat with memory, I bet it would be easy to order a seat and replace the one this version.
But better than the Hyundai Ionic6 N?
Major negative aspect is that KIA works and it has no Memes!!!! *Sarcasm*
Husband already has '23 Mach-E RWD Extended Range and I'm currently driving a Mazda 3 Turbo Hatch. I'm considering a Genesis G70, but the EV6 GT has also got my eye. My only concern is the range considering we already have one electric car. We're in Dallas area and can charge at home, but that 200 mile range has got me thinking maybe I should stick with the G70 to have one gas car still in the house right now. Thoughts anyone?
Drive in freezing weather or super hot day and that 300 mile range will drop to 120 quick..try selling that Mach-E and see how little you get for it Gomer
@@chadhaire1711 We had it all summer long here in Dallas which is routinely over 100 degrees with no problems. And the few freezing days in Dallas aren’t an issue either. What do you drive?
@@graemetimmins I drive EVERYTHING and I know for a fact that in 115 temps with air on full blast that battery will drop 50%..same with 35 temps and heater on and yes I drove the KIA and same numbers, plus less if you use that power which is the entire point of driving one in the first place. The Mustang EV with 200 mile battery dropped tp 110 miles, and the 300 mile battery in 115 heat dropped to 140 miles, and freeway driving will lose another 10%. Ev cars are toys and fine as long as you understand that..they will NEVER replace ICE cars and if they try to do it in California the shit will hit the fan
Oh they absolutely will replace ICE cars eventually, these are just first gen cars with first gen issues. Now whether that happens in our lifetime or not is a question, but ICE eventually will be out. We're getting to see a lot of tech rapidly evolve here which is fun to experience. I just commute in North Dallas 2/3 times a week (work from home primarily now) so the low range on the EV6 GT isn't a big deal either way, can just charge at home. And you can get them used so cheap now, found a couple with 1k-5k miles for 40k, seems like a bargin to get 576hp for 40k if you ask me.@@chadhaire1711
Yaaay! For Kia and non millionaires!!
I would buy an EV like this if it wasn't very difficult to figure out how to charge a car when you live in an apartment.
Matt just using ANOTHER excuse to hate on Tesla because he doesn’t like Elon. Clown
Cry baby
Why you defending Elon so passionately? You an Elon ganger?
@@fale892 yeah I respect and admire Elon Musk.
Matt: "cyber that's a awful word uh that I thought was done in the 90s." Tomorrow is CYBER MONDAY...
I expect the Hyundai ioniq 5N will be better, Hyundai’s N division make some nice cars. If I remember correctly, the EV6 GT doesn’t have electric memory seats.. a frustrating omission for such an expensive car
Yeah, the Ioniq5 (same platform) also has poor turning radius...
I noticed Matt has been quoting Car & Driver 0-60 times rather than R&T (though both are owned by Hurst). I wonder wth Michael Guy moving over to DuPont of Matt will be following him.
Loved the presentation, odd that you can't get power seats on something at that price point, reckon they should offer a lux pack or something.
I do love the styling and I'm glad it seems it lived up to it, heard from Misha's vid who went to the euro launch that the designers were inspired by the boxy Lancia Delta; I can't quite see it but I definitely see some Pininfarina influence. The efficiency is pretty poor though; that's what's making me think this isn't the electric GTi we are hoping for.
If I had to guess, I think that will deliver on efficiency and sportyness the same way the original GTi did in the 70s. I really hope that's the case but the iD4 is pure dogshit.
For what this is though, man this is a nice little car.
Editing wise I think this needed a bit of music but the silence I found a bit empty. Sonically there's not much to do but unlike some other people, i'm glad you found the chassis interesting enough to make a video on it!
The EV6 GT and the Ioniq 5N share these front seats with several other Hyundai N products, such as the Elantra N, and that's why they are not powered. The Ioniq 5N version of these seats adds ventilation -- the EV6 GT only has heat to them, no ventilation. Ioniq 5N also has the "N" in the seatrest lit up.
Why do people even like power seats takes all long to recline all the way
@@Phaye-co4zj agree they are slow. It's not the power seats people want but the seat memory that let's you easily set the seat to different drivers preferences
Wishing James "Captain Slow" May to review this vehicle...
Most of those portable inflators don't hold a charge, so if you keep it in the car it will be dead when you need it.
But according to savagegese this KIA makes you feel "absolutely nothing".
He's a little more jaded but more honest.
The geese guys do a great job representing the portion of car enthusiasts who are very attached to ICE sounds.
SG is still doing his eV's ArE dIsPoSaBlE!!11oneone shtick so take what he says with a grain of salt.
@@SledgeOfHouseHammerthey are disposable
Midwest guys grew up different than West coast.. opinions are going to be worlds apart. As a dirt farmer midwesterner I align with SG far more than Matt on nearly everything. I appreciate Matt’s take and reviews even if they don’t hit 100% of the time for me.
"We should get rid of the word cyber it hasnt been around since the 90s" Meanwhile he says it on Cyber Monday had records sales that weekend. No ones is getting rid of the word CYBER matt. LIVE WITH IT...Im sure its haunting you :)
You never fail to take a shot at Tesla. Biggest hater on TH-cam.
Matt: "cyber that's a awful word uh that I thought was done in the 90s." Tomorrow is CYBER MONDAY...
Matt, great review engaging presentation. Next let's wear a seat belt to ensure future videos and promote safety to your audience.
What if the EV6 had a “fart” exhaust mode? Just a bunch of farts going off as you accelerate the car?
Forget Tesla in the thumbnail. This guy lol
I thought that was bacon at 13:33.
am i the only one who doesn't like the blind spot camera? didn't like it in hondas and here it's worse to me. looking down at a camera versus moving your eyes to a mirror seems less safe. my last two cars also beeped if a car was in my blindspot. i feel that's a better implementation and keeps your eyes on the road. granted this is the least egregious take-your-eyes-off-the-road-to-use-a-screen but definitely not my preference
It would be nice if it had the same charging infrastructure as Tesla.
Kia, like so many other manufacturers, have adopted Teslas charging system. Hopefully within the next year they will roll it out
@@jamesbeebowitz I’ll wait and see what that looks like when it actually rolls out or maybe I’ll just buy another Tesla
I hear you@@gman3725
I have no clue what he's talking about the turning radius is bad. I test drove an EV6 and the turning radius is just as impressive as my Lexus IS. Never have to do a three point turn unless on a very narrow road.
Imagine if Hyundai/Kia had this power plant in a Genesis Coupe back in 2012.
u have to wait for the Ioniq 5N matt too soon to be released not to wait
$60k for a Kia?!?! 😂😂
If you need the vanity badge, buy the Taycan (for 3x the price)
May be a car with carbon fibre body and more battery could be the future
Wait til the ioniq5 N comes out.
Cars getting mad at you for selecting gears in a gearless car. Get mad at it for having paddle shifters and no gears.

I’d use that extra $60,000 to upgrade from a GT4 to a GT4RS. This is just a gold cart on steroids
Unfortunately the real-world gap from GT4 to RS is more like $100K.
With the amount of cars Matt owns and how well this channel and his garages are doing I'm really surprised him and his wife share a vehicle, at least enough for it to affect which vehicle he would purchase?
Space at home is probably the deterant there.
They have a good amount of vehicles, they just share one primary vehicle and drive other stuff if needed.
Nah I would get a Lucid Air Pure than a Kia😂
Which costs way more than the KIA, flop
@@fale892 lol. The pure will smoke that GT all day. Puny range. 🙃
62k is my problem. I would rather have a Toyota Camry for 30k.
You thought about a Kia Stinger V6?
$30k, as in Camry 4cyl?
@@jeremyb4493 Correct. Or a 35k v6.
This thing is TWICE the price of a Camry and hideous to look at.
@@simonmorty8344 Those are overpriced for what they are also. I would rather buy a used AMG than a new Stinger.
I just don't see the value in this particular car.
@travr6 Talking about a slightly used Kia Singer GT. AMG is in a different class if you're talking 6.2 v8. Stinger is a far better car than a Camry, and I had both. And my Stinger I paid only 29k with 17,000 miles and now has 130,000 miles with no issues. It's better than a camry by far, not just in performance, looks, comfort, and space. Also, you see a Honda Accord and camry just about every second car.
Hate to break it to you that the Stinger in a different class to camry to drive. I'm talking from experience as I owned both. Have you actually driven them 🤔

This confirmed my confirmation bias!
I want to see the comparison to the Ioniq 5 N.
🤣😂Dude...GET A TALLER WIFE! Trade in your mini cooper wife.
