CORRECTION! The K900 is only offered this year with a turbocharged V6, with no V8 option. Big thanks to C&D and Motor Trend for getting this wrong. Last time I rely on them for info!

The anger. I can feel it in my veins.
who gives a shit it's just a KIA haha

that BLINKER turn signal THING is TOPSSS
The turn signal camera blew me away
EVERY Car/Truck/SUV/RV/Semitruck/Bus should have this. Thousands of highway crashes would be avoided each year
Yes, so much better than just blind spot detection. Hope Genesis gets this too.
@@thedragonofdalzell me personally I think its lazy I see people have have these fancy bmws and mercedes cars that have alot of tech in them like automatic parking cameras everywhere and they still cant even park them they dont use the tech that's in them or they dont know how to use it i have a 2017 Holden/holden special vehicles Grange which is a luxury preformance car in australia and I use the tech that comes with it if I'm gonna pay 60 to 90 grand for a car I'll use the tech in it
Agreed! I have it in my ‘18 civic (albeit only on the passenger side) but the way Kia integrated it into the K900 is far superior to the laggy feed that shows up on the info-tainment screen in my car.
It would be pretty good for watching your own burnouts in detail!
The blind spot camera also does another thing.......IT ENCOURAGES TURN SIGNAL USE!
Damn straight. An excellent idea on multiple levels, then.
Holy shit thats even better
BMW drivers will ignore that feature
Tttturn ssssssignal? What's that? I've never heard of that before.
I own a 4.9 meter length car, and i don't have any blind spots on my sides.
the reason people have blind spots it's because they adjusting their mirrors to show their cars, that way they're wasting mirror-space that can be used to show the surrounding lanes.
It's also a big mistake to think that automakers are so high-tech today, but the engineering have such a primitive lack as "not showing all the view i need in the side mirrors".
The reason Kia added this camera feature it's because, time after time, automakers have to correct drivers with their stupidity, and help them make less and less thinking and acting. (That's funny when thinking about that, they added DRL lights instead of just making the headlight to work all the time).
I wouldn't even say this car is trying to emulate luxury. By all standards that car IS luxury and quite honestly is pretty impressive coming from KIA. Both Hyundai and KIA have really stepped up their game

Agreed. This is damn impressive. Hopefully the tech trickles down to lesser Kia's

Doug, the clock in this car is made by Maurice Lacroix, a Swiss watch manufacturer. Masterpiece is one of their watch models. Just FYI.
The joke is on him! When ignorant about something, it's better to play safe. Thanks let us know.
Good knowledge
@Locks are Masculine Objects Your mom cares.
No offense.
@Locks are Masculine Objects everyone cares tbh
Exactly, I think he should have at least googled it before mocking the "masterpiece"
So 15 years ago Ludacris was rapping about buying his lady "watches by Maurice Lacroix". Now you get one in the dash of your Kia K900.
What a wonderful time we live in.
Also, endorsement deals..
That turn signal camera thing is just genious!
@@stjepanpokos1805 A kako nece bit. Lik je sveprisutan.
Honda has stopped making those because simple blind spot lights on the side mirror are easier to use. Camera gives lots of information, but when trying to change lane quickly, it does take more time to absorb all info camera gives which is longer than "is the blindspot light on?" (simple yes/no question)
I own a 4.9 meter length car, and i don't have any blind spots on my sides.

The lock on the rear controls is probably so buttons aren’t pressed while the armrest is folded up into the seat.
or when you don't want to press random buttons when just lounging.
...yes
@@illustrativetexts ...and yes
Yeah, no. That would mean the design is so dumb and archaic that you would need to manually engage it every time. It's probably more for if you have a child with you in the back, or if you just don't want to accidentally hit something while your hand is there.
Yeah come on Doug use your head
Hoovies Garage in 2022: I bought the cheapest K900 and this is the brother of Genesis!
KIA is making great cars now. So happy with my new kia
Yep. Got my girlfriend a used Soul and I like it so much I've legitimately considered selling my F-150 and getting one of my own. You really cannot beat the reliability/warranty/low cost to own combo of the Kia Soul.
Kia aka Hyundai
They've been making some pretty good cars for a while now.
hello kia advertisment team
@@ivangamer8022 doesn't mean it can't be better than that which it tries to emulate. Wouldn't be the first time
I think all KIA needs to do is remodel their logo for their luxury cars - The current logo just looks cheap.
Or just make a new name.....Genesis.
Not just for their luxury cars, they should change their logo for everything.
I think a logo remodel will not only benefit the K900 but all their cars. At least just a symbol aka Lexus' L, Audi 4 rings etc.
Personally I would just take the Kia badges off. A good logo can go a long way for a car
Also says "Killed In Action" which is not that best label for a vehicle
Kia is doing some money moves. But what then need most is time and clever marketing. If they keep this up, in 10-20 years people will totally forget that Kia was once a cheap/economy car brand.
All of Doug’s videos comment sections consist of positive comments, memes of what he says and “Doug the kind of guy”...
What an interesting community he has created.
Doug the type of guy to have fans who does analyses and give detailed summary of his content for him.
Between him and Tony Ferguson, they really should do a show called,"The type of guys"
THIS is the comment section of the Doug Demuro CZcams channel
Kia is such an underappreciated brand. They put in things that would most consider useless but to some they might be useful so they think why not have it anyway . They really care about having options for everyone
The mere fact that they bother to make satellite radio standard on so many models vs the cheap manufacturers that make you pay extra even on $40,000 vehicles....I love it.
Actually they are such an overrated brand. Just like Hyundai and Subaru. The Kia fanboy brigade is getting ludicrous.
@@jackd8147 Have you ever owned a post-2006 Kia or Hyundai? I have a 2012 Soul with currently 113,000 miles and love it. If you don't understand the hype, go test drive a Stinger GT.

Finally! Kia getting more recognition. They are seriously putting out amazing cars now, they deserve better recognition.
@@nomadben They probably are.
@@nomadben Yes, I would say that.
That is not an amazing car. It's just a car with some leather and copied design. They even use old NA V8s. On a luxury saloon. How do you expect them to compete ? 2 cameras won't do it.
The 2 biggest manufacturers in the world could not do it, there is no chance KIA an Hyundai unless the cars are electric.
Except the Kia Soul xD
@@mnoovurvi What's wrong with having an NA V8 in a luxury car?

Ten out of ten for comfort and materials

O
LLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
that blindspot feature blew my mind... really ingenious!
The reasoning problem for the '' lock '' button on the rear center arm rest is probably soo if you have your arm relaxed on it and if you accidentally hit any other button nothing gets pressed 🤔🤔🤔
And kids... a 3 year old might not figure it out easily.
Other brands have a “silly” single touch lock button in the rear too. Volvo for example.
I think to myself the same
To be fair , he is the product of the US education system, so cut him a little slack.
Im a kia K900 product specialist, the rear lock button will lock controls from the persons in the front. Such as climate or radio station
Doug the type of guy to do a review on a Kia K900 twice...
E W Doug actually loves it, he wrote a "Doug the type of guy" comment himself and pinned it!
@E W nah not really those are the most popular comments on here
He did this one to make up for the other video in which the first word he said was not this
@E W who doesn't? ;)
@E W e w the type of guy who you wanna hang around with only if he is rich.
I actually saw 3 K900s yesterday. The Telluride is also one of the most beautiful new SUVs.
I think that Kia should advertise the K900. No one knows about this car and I think more people would buy it if they knew about it..
KIA designers are good
They tried to advertise it at one point by using LeBron James in some commercials a couple years back. I wonder if they gave up..
Its nice, but I like the Palisade better. I like the Telluride but IDK man. That Palisade.
Tell you Ride a shit car
This car is a straight up mix of an S class and BMW 7. Actually it looks like a really cool car! hope it doesnt die off like the phateon
Honestly at around $60-65k, Kia is probably selling this car as a loss leader at the moment just to continue to establish themselves as a serious contender against the Germans the same way Lexus did back in the 90s.
I loved the Phateon. Ive only seen a couple of them but its a shame how underrated it was. I would drive it over a bmw or benz any day!
It’s future me. Kia has dropped the k900 and cadenza 😞

lifefamilyhonor the redesigned Kia K900 Hello?!
Mercedes BMW or Audi would never offer full 5 year coverage and 10 years on the P T they would be broke if they did
Mercedes and BMWs are pretty reliable set aside a few outliers lol
I've not heard many good things about BMW reliability. Mercs still have reputation for being very robust, but when things do go wrong...your wallet will not like that. Some part prices are hilarious.
MrCorvusC my dad had an 06 330i and sold it at 220k. With regular maintenance it ran perfectly fine
@@henrypanozzo9607 that's the outlier
The new BMW's are not reliable like the old
The clock is a Maurice Lacroix, a Swiss premium brand. He missed it?!
No he's just dumb when it comes to clocks !
No, it's a MASTERPIECE.
Uh, no. It's a Masterpiece.
Can you not READ? Hmph!
He mentioned that he doesn't know much about clocks. That's fair enough. 🙂
And that shocks you? He once called "chrome" - mirror material. He doesn't know clocks.... he doesn't know chrome.
Lock is there so that you don't accidentally move anything as you're resting your hand against the center console. It's not that alien a concept.
My thoughts exactly
I can lock my phone, BUT THEN I CAN JUST UNLOCK IT MYSELF! There's no explaining it, but there it is.
Damn!I Wanted To Write That!
I also think they put it because what about if you got kids with you they fuck everything up so I see how it would be used
Doug is a type of a guy who locks himself in a car when driving
The watch inside this KIA is produced by renowned Swiss manufacture Maurice Lacroix, and the Masterpiece is the name of their high-end collection. The idea here was to connect the luxury watches world with the luxury automotive world, not unlike the bond between Bentley and Breitling..
These people are Philistines.
Crap car and crap watch
@@FrankCastle-he8fl oh you think Maurice Lacroix is a crap watch brand? XD dat was funny
Maurice Lacroix is the Kia of the Swiss watch world. Both are made for each other.
Yeah, this would have taken less than 30 seconds to Google. I don't often think this about DDM reviews, but this one really seemed rushed.
I have owned one of these myself for a year and a half now. Same color. Luxury trim. If ANYONE has the chance to buy one, go for it! Especially a 2019 model with lower mileage. Around 25k right now. It’s worth every penny. If you are anything like me, who appreciates a car that must satisfy luxury+power+rarity/uniqueness, it’s hard to get any better than this. The first year I’ve had this car I lived in Washington DC and I cannot express the amount of attention and compliments it has received. Fast forward to now and I’ve since moved to Europe (I’m in the military) and shipped the car with me, I expected it to blend in better amongst the European car enthusiasts but it turns heads EVERYWHERE I go. Going out on an evening/dusk drive when those stacked LED daytime running lights are lit up is such an experience. It has such a presence. I still can’t believe Kia doesn’t get credit for this build let alone they still don’t make it in the US.
now that u reviewed it, I think more people are going to buy it. lol
Yes because real life works just like online games
Ghost I got a Stinger because of Sofyan and Doug Demuro 😂
I definitely want one!
Honestly I would recommend this to my Grandpa. But he dead.
That's the idea........ That is why they lent it to him. Doug and Kia will both get paid
The engine produces 365HP and 376FT/LBS. It is exactly the same as the Stinger and Genesis version. 0-60 is 5.1-5.3 seconds. The NA V6 and V8 are available in other markets.
Figures. 315hp from a turbo V6 sounded a bit odd.
Its so viewers will add comments. Which is exactly what we did.
The interior is also very similar to the Stinger and G70, you can see the similarities in the layout of controls and shifter / door panel material placement
@@elusivellama
It's closer to a G90 than a Stinger, both from a platform perspective, it's platform is shared with the G80/90 and splits them in size, closer to the G90. The G70/Stinger sit on a pretty heavily modified version of that platform since they don't need room for a V8. The platform will also be the basis for their first round of SUV's as well, sitting above the Palisade/Telluride, not in size, but in being rear drive based, a longitudinal engine placement, a bit more lux, and with more power.
@@MiniVegas420Yo Thanks for the info, do you think it's a good platform? Looking at getting this, or a TLX Type-S, or a 4th gen Lexus IS (if it gets an engine upgrade).

Kia has come so far. Just bought a 2019 Optima and it drives beautifully and the design looks so hot 🔥
Hannah I’ve been breaking my neck at Kias the last 6 months or so I feel like. All their sedans look REALLY good. The “but it’s a Kia” saying will go away in the next 5-10 years I believe. I’m looking to get a Stinger Gt1 in blue. Those are sweet!
duddy morris yess! Stingers are hot cars. More people would buy the optima if it had a bmw logo on it. It’s a status symbol thing sadly. The new telluride is a nice one too. I’m proud of my Kia: )
Me too! GT line top trim. Kia is really on its way for a great success.
I'm still in love with my 14' Optima SX Turbo. It's stylish, economical to maintain, and gets great hwy gas mileage. I'm looking at a Telluride for my next purchase. #TEAMKIA
Bought 2019 Rio and I'm in love
Actually the different paddle backs are damn smart. Because they are steering wheel mounted, they move, so even if you have it upside down you can feel which paddle is upshift and which down. More sportcars would need that. Actually brilliant.
👍👍👍
if you lose the orientation of your shifters when your steering wheel is upside down you probably dont have the necessary skills to drive a sports car
@@stopstalkingyouspookybastard good to know, since the K900 is obviously a Senna killer. 👍
More sportscars should not have shift paddles mounted on the fucking steering wheel.
Here I was thinking it was for visually impaired drivers.
11:01, I think the lock is there to prevent any accidental unwanted adjustments.
I thought the same thing. It's the arm rest, no need to mess with settings by accident.
Actually my point
Guys guys guys. If your being chauffeured about in your luxury car by a stranger, you would want to chose your own entertainment and stop the driver from changing it so that it doesn’t interfere with your choice. Hence the lock button to stop them from changing your choice. Thank me later

Doug This design was made by the person who designed x5 2nd gen and x6. FYI
You will say different things if it was BMW..
He literally says that the interior is absolutely wonderful and that it is super nice. He also bought a kia
Few people understand the point of this car and the Stinger. They were never ever designed to be sold in huge numbers. They exist to lift the brand image of Kia in general. It's to show people they capable of building more than just budget cars.
Ellipsis....Actually, you're right, in that that is their intention for the US market. It's just to show what Kia can do. But overseas, this car sells VERY well, and that's why it was redesigned.
That's really cool. I think other competitive automakers should do this, then they can call such cars their 'Flagship' models borrowing a kind of nautical metaphor.
Love my stinger. It's fun to drive and looks awesome.
Except the Stinger is actually had 7k more sales than the market anticipated. Love my Stinger GT
ELLIPSIS Thank you...
Looks like the Kia hearing their customers more than any other auto makers.
That turn indicator cam is just wow!! 😱 Also the interior is plush and modern. Infotainment system is superior and user friendly. I think Kia will make headache to the other luxury brands soon!! ❤️💐
no replies must mean no one disagrees with you :P
True that kia is more futuristic than the merc e class
The stupid part is that it only turns on AFTER you've hit the indicator. You should check the mirrors and blind spots first, make sure it's clear and you can move safely over and THEN hit the indicators and THEN turn. But yeah, it's pretty cool.
@@han5vk That goes without saying though. Same thing goes for backup cameras which are mandated by the government. It doesn't mean that the technology doesn't vastly improve your awareness.

Was in the new Bmw 5 Series recently and was really disappointed . This looks way better looking interior wise. That's coming from a 5 and 7series owner. Is just the Kia brand that's killing it. At that price people will buy a less loaded Mercedes just to say they own one.
hassan bah this car interior is just a mix of audi benz , the problem with korean car is that they cant have their own design look at japanese car they always have their own design even if it doesn’t look as good as the german car sometime
I was in a Mercedes rental recently, and was very disappointed at the quality. I asked for a different vehicle, and they gave me a Dodge charger, and i was mortified. After a couple hours, I was much happier with the quality of the dodge than the merc. I think people are learning that name isnt as important as or once was. Kia/Hyundai have changed that 10 years ago. Now their products rival that of almost any other brand, and then beat them on price, maintenance, and warranty. They may not resell for as much, but then, it didnt cost you as much, and you didn't pay as much to keep it on the road, so in the long run, you're still ahead. In other words, fuck Mercedes, Audi, amd BMW.
@@JohnnyThe1997I Agree. Lexus, Bmw, Audi, benz all mix in one.
Genesis G80 is a great alternative to a 5er.
hit it right on th nail with this comment
You don't need to remove the plastic cover: the spring loaded door is there to hold most sized phones against the inductive charging pad.
exactly !!
I came looking for this comment. Good to know I wasn't alone.
What's wrong with the Masterpiece thing? Masterpiece is a brand/ range of Maurice Lacroix. It's not a description of te watch, not by Kia at least.
Doug dresses like a dad on a sunday picnic, do you think he knows about watches?
A lightly used k900 is an absolute steal. True luxury for half the price!
Not really. I'd rather have a used 2013+ LS460. It's a nicer car with less depreciation, better customer service, better quality components, far greater reliability, a better engine, and you don't have to show up to a Kia dealership and end up with a Kia Rio when you drop off your expensive luxury car for service.

@@rustler08 I wouldn't call a Kia unreliable. The Sportage that my company uses as company cars are doing great. They have arround 100-120k miles on them, none had any issue out of 8 cars. Kia is up there with Lexus, Subaro and Toyota when it comes to reliability.
It’s still a Kia nobody wants it only balding dads who drive around their daughters that are fragile. “Daddy daddy look what I drew in school” acting so innocent clueless on what’s going around in the world. Fucking dad and daughter should be shot in the head.
Misaki nigga what?
Doug is the kind of guy who still makes his intro in powerpoint.

Facts! Nobody else could pull that off, not even Kia themselves

It is a good KIA
@CybpnK or he's just really smart with the way he acquires the vehicles. He borrows them from dealers and isn't paid byt the manufacturer, watch his smoking tire podcast episode.
kia has come a very long way!!!! this car is awesome!!!!!! from my experience with cars, this one is really just as good as other models from other manufactures
The video is 22:22 long. K is the 22nd most used letter in Doug's titles I is the 2nd most used letter in the English language and 2 is the amount of shirts doug wears at the same time.

I have one & LOVE IT, Benn Leasing & buying Kia's since 1999. Never any problems
How’s the k900 one year later? Any issues?
@@Wasabi9111 None at all. I get all the Luxury that fits my Budget. the Best warranty & everything I wanted in my car without paying for every damn option On the Planet that other Brands Do. They start you with the base & then by the time you put what you want in it, its almost twice as much.
Doug the kinda guy to add free refills at the drive-thru
Yup
Loll he that type with 10 yr old shirt and flipflops driving his quarter mil car goin thru drive thrus for the free refill
Kia is knocking it out of the ball park. The Kia Soul is the best bang for the buck car on the market. The amount of stuff packed into their fully loaded versions is just awesome. Great sound system, smooth ride, low cabin noise, great technology, etc. I'm glad people are finally recognizing Kia for what they are doing. Then add to that their reliability scores, the lack of car issues, their amazing car warranty, and you have something truly special. Kia is changing the car industry. Some manufacturers are getting out of certain car markets (like ford not making sedans anymore)and they have Kia to thank (blame) because of their success.
When you want a Mercedes-Benz S-klasse, but you don't want to seem too mainstream.
I mean, it's cheaper and probably more reliable than an S-class.
@@person.w9780 or cheaper to fix for that matter
@@person.w9780 more reliable, i dont know, but for that price its just an amazing car.
@@M4xXxIkInG I would assume that the K900 would be more reliable than an S-class. Is it?
I'd take it because it's not a gimmick like the S Class.
This is really the best car. This is my next dream car.
The K900 has been my dream car since it came out in 2015, but I want this new model so bad
sandofarms you sound unbelievable funny .... next dream car ... lmao
@@terriowilson3898 My dream car too
The plastic squares with the blue dot are for the suction cups on the robots at the factory when it’s being carried around during manufacturing.
!
I'll take your word for it...sounds like it makes sense.
Lol that clock is a Maurice Lacroix. It’s a company that makes like $10,000 watches.
You meen like a 1000$ or less
Max vd B Lacroix masterpieces, depending on the model, sell for anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000
It looks like a cheap and nasty clock.
@@Locutus With plastic clock hands that move with quartz movement, cheap.
Their watches are generally for people that cannot afford Omega or Rolex, and their $10k watch is a joke. That watch is probably cheaper than an off-the-shelf watch at Dillard's.
Mr. DeMuro Maurice Lacroix is a premium brand of Swiss watches, and oooooh boy they re pricey!!!
how about remi lacroix? also pricey
And masterpiece as a product line by a luxury watch maker. Learn about nice things once in a while.
From the prices I've seen they're no different in price to Tag Heuer or Breitling.
Eric Glueckert k, but for the average guy, a breitling is not a purchase that one can make on a whim. Planning and aspirations have to happen 1st.
Exceldo Yadika I see what you did there
why don't you go design a car that would score 10 out of 10 on all the categories.
It would be impossible with the current technology. For a car to get a perfect 100 Doug score, it would need to look amazing to Doug, have a 0-60 time under 3 seconds, handle like a Lamborghini Huracan, be insanely fun to drive, be the coolest thing on the road, have absolutely groundbreaking technology and features, Rolls Royce quality with Honda reliability, as practical as a minivan, and have unparalleled bang for your buck and resale value. No car in the next hundred years will even come close to that type of driving and ownership experience.
Because many of the categories (especially when comparing the weekend to the daily ones) are inherently contradictory. By making the car look better or go faster, you limit its cargo space and fuel economy. By producing limited amounts (driving up the “cool factor”) and using high- end materials, you lose out in reliability and value. This goes on and on; you can’t have it all. And I’m actually glad you can’t, or else there would be literally one car on the road haha.
He gave the Lincoln towncar a 8/10 in comfort.....
But does it have an elevator with a phone in it?lol
Shame we don't have this! Kia is making progress in recent years! Kia Ceed/Cerato is great little car!
I think it looks absolutely terrible in terms of exterior styling. So basic looking.
Lol if its not the k900 or the stinger.... Sorry. It aint a good Kia.
I read this in Jeremy Clarkson voice.
The kia CceeEeeEDd
Nice Video.
We have the Stinger in Europe. It's enough.
14:08 how many features you got: *A lot*
Doug the rear lock for the controls is so that you can lock yourself out so you’re not accidentally hitting buttons/switches. Sometimes you just have to simply think simply. It’s a good feature and very practical.
Doug the type of guy to put brick on the gas pedal if the car has no cruise control.
Harrambe I'm driving interstate tomorrow and you've given me an idea😆
Doug listening to "A Lot" (14:07): How many quirks it got? A lot
Free sir 21 Savage
Lmao
😂😂😂
How does a 5.7 sec 0-60 deserve an 'unsatisfactory' (4/10) score?
I agree, for a big heavy car that time is quite fast. Its definitely underrated, even for big prestigious car brands if their 0-60 time is under 6 seconds their horsepower is definitely in the 400 region. And is it just me or this guys voice is kind of annoying.
@@Lotus.F Agreed
I think he does that score on a standard scale, the faster the time the higher the score, so only supercars will score high
@@ezrasmith8818 That's not fair to this vehicle though, or any vehicle in this class, even the lower classes. They should be scored only with vehicles in their class, otherwise the Doug Score really doesn't make any sense at all.
It's completely fair because a car that gets a 10/10 will also get a 1/10 in practicality. It's a better way to do it than considering every single car differently that way it's not an objective argument of "Welllllll but this car is less sporty by 1 point so it's not as bad...."
I've got a 2015 luxury V8 trim and can tell you, this car is highly underappreciated
This morning I was finally able to finish a whole glass of Apple juice by myself.
*If you took the patches off and put Benz, BMW, or Audi on it peps would be all for it, just off the look and everything that come in it. Plus the price, reliability, and the price to get something fix! Which you wont need because it comes with a 10 year warranty!* Nice car!
jarvis thomas sure it may be a good value in comparison. But the market for this kind of luxury saloon are usually people who do business and want to give their clients or business associates a premium impression. This is why people spend so much money on designer clothes to wear in formal occasions. If you want the best deal then just go get a practical and comfy suv for even better proce
@@G0ddEityawesome i like what you saying, it makes sense
My damn god!.. Can somebody please tell Infiniti and Acura that this is what their interiors should look like..
My damn god? That makes no sense at all and nobody ever says that.
Ardent Shrew I said it and I meant it. What’re you going to do about it?
and dont forget to mention the influence of BMW interior here look at the dashboard and the infotainment
+amari w. - I have to agree. I own an Acura and they get very boring over time. But I do have to say this car reminds me a lot of Genesis for some reason. Still nicely done on Kia's part. Can't say the same about the exterior though....sort of bland imo.
amari w. I’m an Infiniti fan and not gonna lie they seriously gotta work on the interior. Like the new QX80 has a very outdated infotainment screen which looks like it came from like 10 years ago..
This is one of those cars that I have to add to my list of ''potential luxury cars to buy secondhand in 2027 for next to nothing''
Keep me in the loop
Doug DeMuro
just made Kia more popular than it was!
@FilipVlogs A lot of people are not sleeping on KIA
that midnight violet font looks like it belongs in need for speed underground
I wouldn't want it in that car, but id love that in my car and a number of others.
Wow. Brought it back
This car sounds so great yet he still takes digs at them because they are made by "Kia" . They told him 5 year warranty and 10 years on the other thing, that's a major selling point. This car sounds great but people hate on it.
Well, the fact that it is a Kia is kinda a problem for people with this kind of money -- and I'm not talking about its badge. It means having to go to a Kia dealership -- a place where bottom of the barrel salespeople are used to dealing with buyers with awful credit. Generally speaking, it's not a pleasant place to buy a car -- never mind one that costs this much.
@@1MTEK You make a perfectly fair point there. One of the salespeople at our local Kia dealership is named Bill... and he insists on being called "Dollar Bill". That dealership is only just now starting to change for the better now that they realize Kia is moving upmarket. It'll take time.
I love this car! I agree, they SHOULD advertise it.
Kia needs to understand that most people who buy these saloons use it to do business. A kia is not gonna impress anyone to want to do business with you lol
I'm gonna say the same thing to those haters (most of them are German car fanboys) that they say to me when I bash German over-engineered unreliable money pits. If you haven't owned or driven one to base that opinion on actual experience, your opinion has been deemed irrelevant.
I don't even have to scroll down to know people are going to be scoffing about this, but I unironically love how much work went into the animations in the gauge cluster. The mode switches are a delight. If I had one of these, I would switch modes occasionally just to watch the gauges transform.
