Same here, still going with 185k miles

Me too, now at 224k, but had to replace the alternator

Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!

Thanks man! I really appreciate you letting me share it all with you!

I also have all of this in mine.

Those are available in the AWD version, not in the FWD.

hi i hope you reply lol. i was debating the gt line and ex. gt line has wolf gray and red interior and gt seat stitching which i love... the ex doesn't have wolf gray and idk how i feel ab the silver color.. is it better

I cant decide! lol

I think you hit that nail on the head!

Which would you saw overall, price, specs and overall drive between the K5 or sonata?

Same vehicle, so makes easily the most sense. The Sonata was marketed as a more luxury version of the K5 in South Korea.

@@iTrinityPlays As Korean that is wrong. Sonata is more focused for the daily family sedan. And K5 is focused for sporty more. Except for engine and some tech these two are totally different. U can check this from design and suspension setting.

lol

You got it!

Thanks for saying that! You are really great!

Period.

Alyssa Lam he really appreciates the artistic design.

That really means the world!

You are awesome Al!

On throttle!!, bleghhhhhhh, here we go!!!!

#CONGRATS..THATS THE ONE I LIKE , AS WELL..#BLACK 😀💯💙

I like the way that you think Kynn.

I like the way you think too because every idiot talking about this car keeps saying they're testing the GT when it's not even released yet.

I bought the gt car and love it

@@mr.america1st966 where?

@@asv1392 Oklahoma city, I have a GT line.

I can't wait for that one!

Do they give you the option to get the red seats?

Ooh a baby blue interior? That sounds like something I may need to look into 🤣🤣. Listen.. the K5 caught my attention the first time I saw it while we were on Vacation in Panama City Florida. The car was so ridiculously sharp in the Matte Grey I had to go over and investigate. I literally had no clue at all that it was a KIA, but I was pleasantly surprised, yet not surprised at all at the same moment 🤪. I had, by that time, discovered that the South Korean Auto Giant was doing anything but playing. Not sure if you can make it out, but my identification pic is of my 2019 Hyundai Veloster N. Bought the first one sold in Middle Georgia, Macon.. performance edition and a slick Manual which I prefer, and would purchase again if doing it over. I did get a chance to test out the Dual Clutch model when it was released. My Dealership actually called me when they got one in stock to give me first choice on that one as well 😂😂. They knew me well by this time because I was going to their lot on a regular basis to see the cars and I had made it known that I was going to be interested in it's arrival. Personally I knew the manual was my car because I was raised on three pedals, but my wife didn't want to drive it because of the stick and I felt kinda guilty for leaving her out 🤣😜😂😂. I think things happen the way they do for a reason however, and when I told her I was going to consider trading for the Dual Clutch model so she could get a crack at driving it from time to time, she laughed and said she wouldn't drive it because it was too small for her!! Well I was glad that she let me off the Hook because I had gotten a really nice deal with my N and they had added several thousand dollars to the sticker of the one that I tested. The car I bought in April of 2019 had sit on the lot for one month and the day that I realized it existed was day #31, and it was in my garage by close of business. See 5 Star Hyundai in Macon had been drinking their own Kool-aid and after the special "N" sales rep and self described "Genesis and Hyundai N car performance expert" returned from the initial Veloster N release/Training exposition complete with photos of him shaking hands with Albert Bierman and another one of him commanding the Helm of a race blue model while wearing full race suit and a complete helmet! I have noticed that every picture I have ever seen of someone inside of a fully furnished street car wearing racing gear and helmet, it reminds me of the Giant Black Bear at the circus riding a miniature tricycle 🤣😂😂😂😂!!! They just don't fit inside the car properly, and their heads are insanely large!! 😂😂😂

That’s good to hear, my Optima is a 2012 at 224k and I wasn’t sure how much longer I had lol

Thanks for taking the time to say that and letting me share it with you.

I totally agree with you!

The grey wolf exterior with the red interior is amazing. I love mine and it's always turning heads.

I know you made this comment almost a year ago but I can answer your question about the strobe effect on the taillights. The reason they appear to have the strobe effect has to do with the camera they used when filming the segment. When they film the taillights the strobe effect occurs because of the refresh rate of the camera. The refresh rate of your display refers to how many times per second the display is able to draw a new image. This is measured in Hertz (Hz). For example, if your display has a refresh rate of 144Hz, it is refreshing the image 144 times per second. When the video is completed and shown on screen the strobe effect appears. The cameras refresh rate cannot capture the LED lights correctly thus giving the strobe effect. I hope that makes sense. I am a freelance videographer, vídeo/sound editor. I’ve had odd things appear on video because of the refresh rate on my camera. If I film a tv screen I see vertical lines on the tv screen when playing back the video. I’m jealous you have a K5! Do you still love it after having it for almost one year? I have a 2015 Optima EX and I love it! I was in a car accident (not my fault) on 10/20/21. I don’t know if it’s totaled or not. My insurance company won’t know until November 1st 2021. If it’s totaled I’m getting a K5 for,sure.

premium pkg

I sat in the backseat of the standard Kia K5 and my head was hitting the roof lol. I'm curious if the panoramic roof helps at all with the headroom in the backseat. I'm only 5'11"

Thanks Mathew! I really appreciate your awesome support!

That would be very cool!

Not possible. Oncoming drivers will probably mistake them for indicators

what sound system do u recommend

Pls tell me Do u love the design of it?

Did you buy the GT Line because the actual GT doesn't come out for another month

Congrats! But how did you get a GT? It hasn't come out yet. Did you mean "GT-Line"?

She was saying GT-Line I believe

Thanks Bob for saying that and letting me share it with you!

I think you will really like this one.

So no cooling seats?

Heated seats are so normal now..I feel like the base should come with that

@@theriseoftony cool seats and and 360 camera only in GT(highest package) not the GT line. Sadly AWD does not come in GT which comes in the GT line. I know naming is odd. Also bigger engine in GT without that AWD sadly

@@MissFleek_ k5 is the optima actually

@@MissFleek_ stinger is the best, but 2022 k5 ex has everything besides the awd.

Sure about that?

@@g.l7219 no you can only get heated seats with the awd.

I have a fwd gt-line and I have heated seats but sadly I didn't get a panoramic sunroof, I get enough sun since I work outside so it's ok lol

Much sharper than the Accord

Girl same! Was going for the accord but the GT has me sold😩

Umm You decided which one better?

@@kJ-gk5qu went with the K5 EX, a more enjoyable drive for me than the stinger!

AMEN..I DO 2!!!💯💯💯💯💯

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.

Should have bought a Civic Touring

Tbh this car almost embarrasses an Accord. The Civic has no chance.😂

That's my problem Honda accord, Camry? Now this 😳🤔

@@thatinformativeguy yeah but this is 32k before tax (GT, aka the only one that’s worth it).

@@SIIKAP1 The Accord is $32k before tax is it not? Besides base K5s start at $23,000 (before tax).

It's just the hazard lights

@@DuckieGamingYT I have had the car since November and never seen these. Asked the dealer and tried everything but nothing yet.

@@DuckieGamingYT not hazard lights, they are the DRLS!!

D K ex does have AWD

And is available on the EX. Not available on the GT with the 2.5 engine. Unfortunately.

I agree with you!

@@RaitisRides You rock Joe. You, Lori, and the team do great work.

I totally agree with you!

How much is the more expensive one

Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Why did they basically " detune" from that nasty 2.0T to the lower horse 1.6T? Is the car lighter? Love the looks ive got the.1 6T in my 2017 kia soul exclaim though. Love the reviews!

Keith Baker basically it comes down to EPA numbers, every automaker is being pressed to make more and more eco friendly cars which as you’d expect detracts from performance and power, although we’re still supposed to see a Turboed 2.5L K5 this year, which will be an awesome car if they stay true to that promise. With a power plant like that you could expect to see tuned numbers around 390-420 with mods.

How much you pay for it

After a few months, whats your review so far?

bought one yesterday, love it, but I loved my Optima also.

@@donnaq7626 Hi Donna.. may I ask which trim level? And, too personal to ask what you paid, but do you think you got a good deal?

@@chuckfan1 EX with premium package in everlasting silver which is a gorgeous color. Different in all lighting. Ended up right around $30 which is incredibly only a few hundred off from my 2014 Optima, craziest thing. Ended up getting a home link thrown in too for opening garages doors. Can't believe it didn't come standard with that. Anyway, awesome ride.

I know exactly what you mean lol

The camera makes the LED lights look weird like that. They blink in a solid regular, normal pattern in person. And yes. Like you, I remember cheap cars had loud signal clicks, while premium cars were a soft pleasant click. I have my parents 58 cadillac they bought in 1960. It still has the original flasher and the tick is very pleasant, just as you would expect in a cadillac.
