Rainy day sounds like someone with prostate issues.
DO NOT BUY A KIA. THEY SCREWED OVER MILLIONS OF BUYERS WITH THEIR DEFECTIVE IN MANY CASES FATAL ENGINES SINCE 2011. YES THIS IS A NEW ENGINE DESIGN BUT WAIT AT LEAST A COUPLE YEARS AND SEE WHAT POPS UP. THEY COME WITH GREAT WARRANTIES BUT IT'S ONLY A MARKETING PLOY. I CHALLENGE YOU TO FIND A DEALER SERVICE DEP'T THAT WON'T KEEP YOUR CAR FOR A WEEK IF YOU ARE LUCKY WHILE YOU PAY FOR A RENTAL. IF THEY DO GIVE YOU A LOANER ITS USUALLY THEIR LOW END COMPACTS AND AFTER ALL THE HEADACHE YOU GET YOUR CAR BACK WITH A $400 BILL CAUSE 80% OF THE TIME THEY WILL CLAIM THE PARTICLE PART IS NOT PART OF THE WARRANTY. ALSO IF YOU LIVE IN A SNOW REGION BE PREPARED TO SPRING FOR A $1000 SET OF SNOW TIRES THEIR TIRES SUCK. LASTLY FYI ALL THAT INSIDE FANCY ELECTRONIC STUFF IS NOT COVERED BY THE 5 YR WARRANTY.
3 levels of Auto IS a great feature.
Doug you didn't show the best part of the K5, which is the aggressive styling on the front bumper/grille of the car!!! That is arguably the coolest part of the whole car!!! Especially with the headlights turned on. You really dropped the ball on this one, Doug. smh
I hope to see a review of the Kia Forte gt2 soon!
Good work Kia people are doing.
The front look like the old Mitsubishi gallant recommend 1999-2002
8:51 that says pull because that piece pulls out lol
I've already seen some on used sites
All work no review makes Doug a dull boy...
doug are you going to review the new 2021 hyundai azera?
Wtf is with his rankings lol
I love the new name. I bet Elon Musk suggested it! This is the Kia K-5EX.
Me! I'm the guy excited about a fan speed adjustable climate control system!
I rather get the Kia stinger...then this.
How to save the car from dieing.. Every car should have a hatch back and AWD with a turbo. No more fwd stock 4 bangers. Boring.
They should of stayed with optima.
No excuse to have standard gauges at 30kcar. Doesn't cost that much. If I can get a tablet for 300 bucks. I'm sure the can put digital screen in. Lol I mean the cost to build the car is about 3k and they sell it for 30k
What is Dougscore for calling 2021 two thousands twenty one?
Hey Doug. Can review the k5 gt???
The Optima has always been the K5 in South Korea
2010 and after, at least. There was the original Optima, then the Lotze, and then the K5 (gotta say I love the K-nomenclature though).
Kia has become so much more "weird" if you will. My 01' Sportage has the most absolutely generic interior with no fun little features, its just super bland.
Mazda 6 2021 is a much better :)
I like Doug's videos but the scores he gives on cars for the average people aren't realistic at all. This is an affordable car and for that money you pay you get a lot of car these days. The power of the K5 is satisfying and enough to go around. Here in Europe lots of eco cars have less than 100hp and they do the job just fine sometimes even quick in acceleration thanks to turbo charged engines . If you review 500 plus hp cars then you might be disappointed with the performance of a Camry, Accord , ..... well we aren't all high society and can't afford luxury cars like that.
Interior looks way worse than K5 I have seen in China. Did they decide to release an inferior product in North America?
You got it! Kia pisses on their U.S customers.
Yes
Kia cut corners on the interior
It’s looks the same if not better than most cars in thi segment so you better accept it
This car does not look as good as the accord or the altima
Looks are an opinion
Kia/Hyundai have literally changed the auto industry. Yet, this guy get's hung up on the name not being elaborate enough. That's when you know you're watching the wrong review video.
when it said pull is because you can rewove the plastic holder
My rental K5 does not have those cool maplights or heated or cooled seats...now I'm disappointed.
Do some fucking research before reviewing these cars doug, the optima was always called the k5 in south korea
Rainy day sounds like somebody peeing
Doug, the kind of guy that calls dashes by dots
In korea it’s always called K5
The "letter/number" thing is an Asian/American thing. In Japan, for example - a car name is a number. When it's released in America, it's given a name.
Just came back after test driving this. Did not like - 1. Bose 12 speaker centerpoint system - sound is not powerful neither has clarity(kind of muffled). Had high hopes here. What was Bose thinking? In fact, Bose did a far better job with just 9 speakers on the 2020 Altima SL and no subwoofer. Sounds way more powerful and clear. 2. Interiors do not give a finer finish feel. For example the temperature control knobs. 3. Lane keep assist was little wobbly(really need to concentrate to feel that), not sure why. 4. No chrome handle bars. 5. Acceleration could be better. Even sport mode did not help. What I liked - 1. Can activate lane keep assist even without cruise control. Should help even in non highway drives. Great feature. 2. Lane keep assist doesn’t require hands on wheels for a long time. For me it never asked. 😀👏. The dealer got me off the highway soon. 3. Rear view camera clarity. 4. Overall technology considerations. Bang for buck factor. Would make you think twice before you can let go off this vehicle when compared with rest in similar category.😀
Fun fact:there used to be a part where Doug's camera fall off during the k5 drive so he had to cut that out
I really don't like those orange stuffs on the side of cars in america .
She has some new peugeot 508 looking in exterior design .
can you dougreview the european cars that can't be found in the US and south american Fiat and Vw models that you can find in mexico or brazil ? It would be awesome !

Landrover watch out hes taking his on a 7000 road trip
I would pick a compact hatchback, like a Mirage. Yes it isnt a "good" car by 2020 standers but i'd turn it into a cargo car. good gas mileage & cheap. (would take back seats out then put a sheet of ply wood in as the floor) lot better then a $30,000 van that will be abused. Though of coarse the mirage is way smaller.
Who buys a mid size sedan anymore?
People that have good taste
I think that timer to turn off the car is when you have been driving for so long like 3-4 hours you should not turn off the car right away when you stop so instead of waiting 10-15 minutes inside the car you can leave it running inside your garage.
Just got my K5 turbo in wolf grey and red interior and it is sexy as hell and gets alot of comments and ppl asking what the fuck is it??? Lol
Sound of nature is pure shite :>
Just an FYI, the "Pull" label on the wireless charger is because you can pull out the plastic part where the phone slides in if your phone is larger than the hole.
best part of this car is the awd
This dude harping on the name just got annoying af tbh. First video I ever watched of him and clearly full of himself. Smh.
You comparing this VERY ugly car to a Honda Accord?! LMAO
I’ll take a beemer thanks. Just ask most girls what they’d rather be driving
At first I thought this was the new Stinger😂
Who else has never heard Doug curse before
Kia started the k5 naming before 2 gens ago in Korea.
180 HP is a lot for a car like this where I live...
@Zion Don Yes.
Israel?
carwow the god of cars presantation
From a distance it's a Dodge Charger
KIA Stinger GT 2018 Review ( Best KIA Sport Version Ever Made ) grworld.info/fund/nsKii7fcbWWPmaA/b-nteo
Doug is the type of guy to leave the vehicle idle and sit idle inside till timer ends.
He seems like a guy who can pointout the disadvantages but couldn't own it.....

Man, this Doug guy is strange. He should be cool and funny like Tyler.
If this is a Midsize Sedan, I wonder how the big size sedan looks like - LOL
Search up Kia cadneza
What? That front end looks sexy to you? Lmao ugly asf car
Ita your opinion most people like the exterior, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s ugly
It's hard to make a unique design for a car today. They nailed it!!! I love the design😍
I can't believe it doesn't have auto dimming mirrors 🤔
The gear knob of the Korean version k5 is a dial. 데헷 ! 😼
Doesnt even menion the self "autonomous" driving or lane keep assist, and then turns around and gives a 1/10 for cool factor yet titles the video "Here’s Why the 2021 Kia K5 Is a Cool Midsize Sedan ." Not a good review for the car. I not a Kia guy by any means, driving one now as a rental. Cadillac Cts-V as a daily, but these reviews are gettin a little ridiculous...
Midsize? Thing looks like a boat
Did anyone else get a Kia k5 ad while watching this?
It is not cool when your LED headlight throw the light 2 feet only in front of your bumper
Front grill...
Did I miss something or does that car have a pano roof?
Never thought a Kia would look pretty good
That's cliche from about 2007
Doug to his wife when he gets laid "that's never happened before"
superb design, high quality, low price
but.. u forgot the sun AND moon roof😭
In Malaysia we don't buy KIA, we buy Honda Toyota, because most of us buy car for investment, doesn't matter if the value is Depreciated
They're finally bringing these over to the us. Seen this series many years ago in Korea. The Kia's over there are super nice.
Looks like a Mitsubishi gallant 1997 look it up
No one needs a big screen Or smart radio on a car we all have cell phones includes GPS and everything you need
The front looks like shit The rims are trash zero out of 10 for me
Who would purchase a $32,000 vehicle that only comes with only a 1.6L engine and 180 HP? Not to mention, it's predecessor is one of the most unreliable vehicles made in the last 10 years, plagued by engine problems and class action suits. I'll take that $32,000, add $5,000 and buy one of the most reliable vehicles ever made with 300 HP to boot.
I wanted him to open that moon/sunroof. Love it! I'll be flexing in this K5 like it's a luxury car. I'll buy it in 2022 as the second owner because I don't pay sticker price. Lol
Raining Day sounds like loading water after flushing toilet. On the side note, don’t cover moonroof and show the trunk please. Thank you. ^_^
About five months ago, round about the time this video came out, I bought a 2012 Optima. Before that car, I would never have considered buying a Kia. Now, I can bet my next car or two will be Kia's, especially this new K5. I love my Optima.
Is k5 a replacement of the optima
It doesn't look Coupéish, it looks Hatchbackish...
I have the GT line K5 in wolf gray and it's definitely way more stylish and better looking than this one. I believe this one is called everlasting silver?
that 'rainy day' sounds like urinating problems, i mean the actual sound. cool factor -1
Doug’s like, wow, it’s a 32k car, impressive to have this feature. It’s a 32k car, it’s ok to not have this feature lol. Consistent. It is indeed 32k
I want this car really bad I hate my car
I Just hope lasts longer like a Toyota or Honda.
give it a break man. This is not a luxurious car but still have lots of features. Who cares if you have to press the bottom to turn on the light at the back seat. lol stop being lazy.
Kia thinks a leaky toilet sounds like a rainy day. They are really in trouble, according to Doug the K5 loses 10hp in 12 minutes.
Who remembers old camrys and corollas with the key release for the trunk
You are the most popular auto reviewer Iv ever come across. Crazy. Congratulations
The pull option on the wireless charger is to pull out the small plastic casing in order to charge bigger phones with bulkier cases. So you literally will pull the black plastic out.
Fact check... K5 isn't a random name for Kia. It comes originally from Korea their specs are a little different from USA. That's what Kia called there optima in Korea. Love your videos can't wait to check out your new car action website. Thank you
Hey Doug, love your videos. I'm surprised you didn't talk about the k5 gt. Usually you go for all the top of the line models.
K5 looks very interesting and cool but it aint touching Mazda6 in best looking in class. Still, Camry is most fun to look at in class. tnstatic.net/attachments/sports_mind_toyota_camry_2018_by_dannydesignspr-dbldzps-jpg.172219/
