Is the 2022 Kia K5 GT a BETTER sport sedan than a Toyota Camry TRD? 

It’s still a Kia. The badge doesn’t change that.

@@kevinW826 What an old and narrow mindset. It's no longer year 2010. Kia has come a long ways and are making fun and exciting cars. Sure, they still have a longs ways to go to completely shed their old reputation, but they are getting there. Put some respect where it's due!

@@kevinW826 that doesn't make any sense to what you said. Try to elaborate on that statement.

@@kevinW826 found the little JDM kid

@Ed Findlay Kia is still a cheap car. You spend $40,000 when new and once you drive it off the lot it’s worth peanuts after five year and you still owe more than what the car is worth. By a Lexus or Toyota. They are better built and you won’t lose as much money over five years. Plus you don’t have to worry about fires, being told not to park your cars in the garage or suffer catastrophic engine failure at highway speeds because the con rods and crank shaft let go. No thanks, I don’t want the Asian Chrysler costing me money. And at the end of the day it’s still a Hyundai/Kia. Just like Samsung phones, crap

You are so very right!

36k? MSRP is 26k

@@azca. the top trim with gt1 package is 36k, can always tell by the rims.

@@azca. msrp is 31k for the GT

same here :) go for it!

No ambient lighting tho right ?

Only thing is I need awd and gt doesnt have ut

@@armaankalra3332 I love that Kia Is making amazing looking cars now but their build makes no sense. The top trim doesn’t come in awd but the lower models do. Only certain cars they make come with the interior lighting but not all. Like who sat down and was like yes that’s a great idea. They should offer little things like that for all the cars either included or in a separate package

So you test drove the Accord 2.0 Sport but immediately fell in love with the K5 GT-Line after driving that? And what in your wildest imagination had you falling in love with the gt-line that felt even CLOSE to as good as that 2.0 Accord. I say close because NOTHING is better on that GT-line over that Accord. 2.0 Accord sport has way better steering, handling, will SMOKE that GT_line in a race, has better materials in the cabin. So I'm curious how you came up with this love after test driving a 2.0 Accord sport??? Oh and by the way, I am 100% all about Hyundai. I will not buy anything but a Hyundai vehicle. So I would be the first to defend if what you said was actually true. Now if you said maybe you compared that 2.0 to a Hyundai Sonata Limited, or N_Line, or even a GT K5 i might have understood, but a k5 gt_line, C'mon man

@@jond4328 shuuush buddy

Me with 2021! 😮‍💨😮‍💨 I’m literally gonna trade it in for a GT in the future and the prices will be way lower I think

That is so wonderful Justin! I am not surprised!

How much was it??

Have fun with that reliability!! 😂

@@daverojas7000 $35k

how is it holding up now ? has it been fine for the past year ?

GT model has led interior lights from factory if thats what youre referring to. The interior lights on my GT are bright as hell.

@@Nickscruiser no I was referring to the external lighting

@@Wiggy321 GT model has led hid beams and led fogs pretty bright for what they are. Base model probably has regular halogen bulbs or some cost cutting bs

@@Nickscruiser no they don't come with halogen. I'm very confident I know what halogen lighting is like. I rented the car for over a week.

@@Wiggy321 whatever lighting the base model has its worse than what's available on a GT line or GT trim. My GT has the GT1 package which included the Led hid headlamps meaning the higher trims probably have better external lighting. So if lighting was your only gripe then look into a higher trim level. Youll probably be satisfied with it. Regardless the K5 is an amazing vehicle. Im loving mine so far.

@The_Legend 350 I have been loving it. No complaints from my end. Well worth the wait!

100% same

Thanks for having my back Ben!

Let me know how it goes, I've heard of some gremlins with the K5, but the same goes for the Accord as well.

Why did you trade in your Accord with a K5? OMG. Your Accord Toyota will last longer that that pile of junk. Of course that K5 looks brand new and cool-looking but looks can deceiving. Any new release car will do so well but in a long run that K5 will be leaving stuck in the middle of nowhere! 😒

That is awesome! Congrats!

@@eddiehizo5682 they are way more reliable now tf you mean? Get out of 2000 lol. Hyundai owns them, Hyundai has very good vehicles. Also can’t go wrong with a 100,000 mile warranty. I have 15k on my K5 now and it’s perfect. Honda is so overrated now, my buddy has a 2018 civic and it’s only caused him problems

@@eddiehizo5682 k5 is rated as very reliable on par with accord and Camry.

I wish they added AWD to their GT. It makes no sense to me.

@@hightiernub1313 Kia has stated that they didn't include AWD with the GT because it would actually out perform the base Kia Stinger and they didn't want internal competition. This is due to how much lighter the K5 is compared to the Stinger along with the inline 4 w/turbo.

@@GDColbert Well they just ended their Kia Stinger. So they can do it. It would be more profital having a competing Mid-Size lineup compared to its competitors. If this had AWD it would destroy the competition.

@@hightiernub1313 The Kia Stinger GT isn’t yet out of production.

@@DaveDVideoMaker They're no longer continuing the lineup. No 2023 Stinger.

We will see in about 10 years how they fare. Design wise best in the house

@Ed Findlay now let me tell you something when it comes to cars. I'm the type of person that buys cars once very 10 years or more. I finance my vehicles and Hyundai or kia is definitely not one of them for financing. All.my vehicles that I have I keep them well past the warranty because I'm proud to call them mine. I know some people like to lease and that's fine but not me. I just like to own it. From experience by the time I buy that vehicle for the next 10 years normally I have a big down-payment on it which means I will pay pocket change and soon after it's all down and paid. Hyundai and Kia generally speaking I normally rent those for a weekend but definitely not daily driving. Hope you get my point.

@@alvinsimba734 if you are constantly financing cars you are doing something wrong

@@lennym6608 if you read my last comment I only finance once every 10 years or so... thats an if.

@@alvinsimba734 This comment makes zero sense lol. Nobody knows what will happen, or look like in 10 years.

Yes!!

That is really great! Congrats!

So im not alone lmao yep it was a bit more

Mine was 44

Lol same unless they made a manual a gearbox

Everyone has their favorites!

that is just straight up stubborn ignorance on full display. you even recognize it yet you still wont just because of "the brand" you couldn't possibly make yourself sound more ignorant

That is so wonderful!

I am so glad that i could bring it to you!

KIA does offer a non-black interior on the K5 GT. They call it "chestnut brown"; it's not a full-on red, but it looks kind of red-ish in the photos. Of course, it may look different in person.

Oh wow that really means so much!

Go with the Kia. I have a 2021 Rav4 Prime and that’s the only Rav4 model that I would recommend unless you’re on a very tight budget. The regular Rav4 and even the Rav4 Hybrid are extremely numb and boring vehicles to drive. Less MPG’s in the Kia but the driving experience is on a different level than the Rav4.

The RAV4 is the cheapest built vehicle with poor build quality. A Kia Sportage is a far better car and it walks over any RAV4 in every way

David you don’t want a crappy loud slow unrefined Rav-4. I have experiences with them and the Prime is the only one worth the money.

@@competitiveautomotive5457 woah don’t say that, the JDM fanboys might tell you Korean cars are junk, and JDM beats everything in the world

Michigan does have some terrible roads!

@@RaitisRides which is ironic for a "motor" city

Define horrible, here in Indiana we are no better and I already ordered mine lol

AGREED!

Good call!

It has that

It is missing a heads up display and some red stitching and a LSD

@@2004cyrus no it doesn't

This is so very true!

you guys have the i30n that is desperately which we had here =[

this car with that V6 and turbo would be a killer

They’re both fwd and have similar 0-60s

This is very true!

That is so wonderful! Congrats for that!

Yes

Thanks you so much for letting e bring it to you!

Thanks for taking the time to say that!

Crazy isn't it!?!

Because Americans are crybaby’s.

Get better tires i have a accord 2.0t with continental extreme contac and ride better then before with factory tired

They are available in AWD

@@RolandKoller90 no, no they aren’t.

Dude.... You're basically defining the Kia stinger. Now why would kia make 2 models with the same exact engine/specs? Lol weirdo

AWD would be fantastic!

@@porfiriato84 It’s not that weird. BMW and Audi do that all the time

@@user-qg2tl3jk9z if the k5 had a v6 and awd, stinger sales would be even worse they are all already. Furthermore, I don’t think a V6 can actually fit in the k5.

@@ismaeldah6512If the K5 had AWD with 2.5T, it’d be priced at around the same that a base stinger is, which has the equivalent amount of features as the fully loaded K5. If it had the 3.3TT, it’d be priced similar to what a stinger GT1/GT2 already is. Basically, shoppers would just pick whichever body style they prefer. This is what Audi does with A6 & A7; or BMW with X5 & X6. Two essentially same cars w/ same powertrains virtually, priced similarly, and shoppers just pick their preferred body style. So it wouldn’t necessarily tank stinger sales (one could argue however that it may affect Genesis G80 sales though)

@Bowhunters they are very reliable now.. they just have quality control issues. Have a Kia K5 myself and I love it

Actually the new Kias are Very Reliable ‼️😇

Kia's are reliable. The only thing you might come across is some software issues which is very minor in them.

10yr warranty

Thanks for always tuning in Lester with your awesome support!

@@RaitisRides You are welcome Joe! Love what you and Lori do and how you do it! A unique style. I LOVE VEHICLES though due to a lifelong vision problem never have been able to drive. Ii feel someday I will be OR the car LKE THE BATMOBILE will drive me! Have a great weekend!

Dude the Camry is already nonexistent in this segment. It’s the worst performing, sloppiest driving, and cheapest feeling sedan that’s overpriced.

I am so glad that you like toyota!

Kia already did. Sorry to burst your bubble

I know how you feel!

Tat would have been awesome!

This is so very true! This is not in the same class as the Elantra N.

I am os glad that you like this one Julien!

Get the accord. You’ll thank your pockets in 5+ years

Trust me I know how you feel about that!

Dude don’t bother. The driving experience is the worst in its class. Literally anything else including the Nissan Altima drive better. With the Camry, you’ll get there, but you’ll forget how you got there

@@competitiveautomotive5457 that’s your opinion and we’ll see how well those turbos hold up compared to the NA V6 lol your a joke I’ve seen you all up and down bashing the TRD like your the be all tell all … if that’s your opinion cool but not everyone has the think the same…..I think all Kia’s are ugly as shit along with there new badge and this one is no different but that’s my opinion

It how the power for sure!

@@RaitisRides That’s other huge key to getting one over the Camry.

They really nailed that one.

Probably the only one they had or available in a reasonable distance so they marked it up even more than usual for the hell of it (my guess l)

Will do!

Thanks Ken! That really means so much!

That is a very good feeling for sure!

The 4k is the GT1 package

I would agree with you!

the camry look much better than this

@@selector_Bryan Me I Well Take The Camry And Accord And Sentra

@@Sunjib12345 same

@@selector_Bryan Thank You

Are you seriously cross shopping these vehicles?

We will see how it pans out.

ahh time will tell I think they've upped their game a lot over the last 15 years

Thanks for sharing your feedback Zack!

Sounds like a good idea!

Nice presentation

That’s fine, but if you haven’t owned one don’t say that. Had a body shop look at my stinger, my old optima, and old Sorento, and they were impressed by the build quality, and the amount of steel, and aluminum placed around the cars. They even compared the refinement of the v6 to German cars, and were corrected on the spot about Kia building crappy engine. Don’t listen to the haters lol

@@HD_Kerino To each their own. You spend your $$ your way, I'll spend mine my way.

You need to see it in person.

Transmissions on Hondas are more than likely to give problems
