I’m doing a chrome delete on my 2023 Kia K5 GT and I’m being quoted $400 (for the window trim and back piece). Am I being overcharged?
I’m not much of a DIY person and the shop looks like they do great work, I just don’t want to waste unnecessary money.
After a week, my '26 K5 GT finally arrived. I love driving this car, the tech features make simple commuting a pleasure and it can really come alive on the open road.
Looking for some recommendations. Sxth won't have some till August. Has anyone gotten one and has worked well on their car. Let me know please, trying to avoid headaches after installing it, thx.
essentially these are the same price. Anyone drive both and have feedback I like both!!
Anyone heard if the new model year will offer hybrids yet? I know its available internationally, but not in the US yet. I'm really interested in getting out of my Sportage lease next year, and I'd love to get another Kia Hybrid, and the K5 is really enticing if it comes in that.
New to me 2023 GT Line, had it for a week now and I love it. Gas mileage has been the best part so far and it rides nice and looks good so I have no complaints!
Is anyone having issues w their spotify on apple CarPlay??? My carplay and the actual Spotify on my phone are not in sync. The car is always displaying the song that just played. If anyone is experiencing this and may have a fix do let me know please.
I literally drove 6 miles on the interstate with my hands in my lap and the car just…drove. It gave no shits about my hands not being on the wheel. Is this normal? I assumed it was supposed to bitch because I figured they would have advertised more heavily if they had a feature like Chevys super cruise. I mean I’m not knocking it, but it’s just so strange.
hi guys! i got a 2024 Kia K5 GT-line;

Buying a 2026 K5 GT Line AWD very soon. I’m considering getting the Tire and Wheel protection since the roads in my city are notorious for potholes. AI says i can negotiate this down to about 600-700 dollars, can anyone verify? Can anyone share what you were able to negotiate successfully when financing one of these?
I am scheduled to do the financing on my new 2026 K5 GT Line AWD w/ premium package (35,500 OTD) in about 2 weeks? I have seen quite a few posts about a current issue with the low oil error that is happening after about 100 miles or so and it has me concerned. Would I be able to ask for some sort of protection against this when I go to finance? Should i negotiate for free service from the dealership due to this or maybe get a lower price on the extended warranty? Should I hold off on getting this car at all right now until this is resolved? Appreciate any help anyone can provide.
i have a 2026 gt line, yesterday it started giving me a "unable to connect to carplay" notification. ive forgetten the car on my phone and reconnected several times i even restarted the whole system with the little button and it still isnt working. has anyone experienced the same issue or has a trick to this?
How would you break in the car? In the manual it says keep the RPM between 2000 and 4000 though whenever i drive it is always under 2000 unless i speed up. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I haven’t seen it on here yet but I’m curious. Has anyone put a bug guard on their car? I do highway driving in Central Florida and there are always construction sites and massive dump trucks. I saw a couple nicks in my paint where the guard would go. I wanted to see if I should get one or nah? If you have one can you post a picture pls?
Picked up a new Wolf Grey GT this morning.
Hey everyone,
I’m planning to book a Kia Sonet HTK+ Diesel Automatic (Torque Converter) soon and had a few doubts before finalizing.
Coming from years of driving manuals, this will be my first automatic car. I’m an enthusiast-oriented driver, so I wanted real owner opinions regarding:
• How engaging does the 1.5 Diesel TC feel for someone switching from manual?
• Does the gearbox feel responsive enough during spirited driving/highway overtakes?
• Any lag or lazy feeling in manual mode?
• How good/bad is the stock HTK+ sound system? Is it decent enough or does it badly need an upgrade?
• How is the driver seat comfort and driving position for long drives?
• Any regrets choosing the Diesel AT over manual/DCT?
• Is adding paddle shifters technically possible later through aftermarket/OEM swaps?
I’m planning to keep the car long-term and do an OEM+ style build with subtle upgrades, so I’d really appreciate honest ownership feedback from Sonet Diesel AT owners.
Thanks!
Im having trouble deciding if its worth it to keep trying to find a GT model in my price range or just go with the EX. I love the features and look of the GT models but some are just out of my price range and I'm having trouble finding any at all.
