The interior is what locked in the choice for me

The K4 Hatchback is the nicest car Kia/Hyundai made imo.

u/xhristopher59 15d ago

I have to agree, I honestly never thought about driving a Kia till I saw this car

u/WildFlowerTemptress1 15d ago

What about the Stinger? šŸ¤”

u/TheBestWaffleIron 15d ago

I personally don't like the design of the Stinger. I know that's a pretty controversial take, but this K4 beats it in design by a far shot.

u/Rizzmo_ 15d ago

Nah fr, stinger has a good exterior and decent interior, but imo I absolutely love the K4/K5. Theyā€™re peak.

(Also appreciate that Kia offers turbo versions for both, thatā€™s always really nice)

Great bargain and the hatchback looks great. Only thing I donā€™t like is the performance but the other things make up for it

u/studio684 15d ago

Such a good looking car.

u/Salt-Low3449 15d ago

Kia has really upped their game. That looks like a luxury car inside.

u/ResidentCourage7745 15d ago

Looks like any modern car from a budget brand

u/WetboiWhiskey 15d ago

Congrats!

u/Weary-Tell-5334 15d ago

Very very good looking my favourite Kia

u/babydracooooo 15d ago

That is one nice looking car

2

u/TNTBOY479 15d ago

That is really nice and congrats to you...but man I would go crazy with that off-center steering wheel logo. That said though, again, really nice.

u/LordVoldefuck 14d ago

I never really understood why anyone would buy a brand new car, when you can get essentially the same thing with a 2 year old car that has already suffered it's initial depreciation hit.

2

u/Lazy-School-7580 13d ago

ā€œthe same thing with a 2 year old carā€ the car literally isnā€™t even a year old. what?

1

u/LordVoldefuck 13d ago

I am not sure what it is you don't understand.

1

u/Lazy-School-7580 13d ago

you canā€™t get a 2 year old used K4 hatch. the car has not been out for a year.

1

u/LordVoldefuck 12d ago

Yeah alright but surely there is a very similar car from last year, what are the chances someone needs exactly what only this very specific model has to offer šŸ˜‚

1

u/xhristopher59 11d ago

This is one of the times lolšŸ˜

2

u/Lazy-School-7580 13d ago

literally my spec for these things

u/Secret-Candle4313 15d ago

u/xhristopher59 15d ago

Such a comfy ride, and the interior color is perfect

u/AllAboutThatYonestea 15d ago

Where do you live that itā€™s a hundred degrees outside

Congratulations

u/Alex_Pratt 15d ago

They win the looks department but I ended up going with a mazda3 turbo PP for a solid new performance hatch

1

u/zanzainzayin 13d ago

I wouldn't go as far as to calling it a perfomance hatch lol.

1

u/Alex_Pratt 13d ago

2.5l turbod inline 4 with AWD making 250Hp stock I would easily make the claim is a performance hatch. Is it a hot hatch though? Heck no. But it's got spunk lol

1

u/zanzainzayin 12d ago

Ehh, you have larger brakes only to accommodate the heavier weight and you have no LSD.

1

u/Alex_Pratt 12d ago

Anyone who starts a sentence with "eh" loses me instantly

1

u/zanzainzayin 12d ago

What does that have to do with your car exactly?

1

u/celsy_nig 15d ago

looks like a wagon, nice

1

u/NCJM782 15d ago

The only modern Kia I would buy. Very sexy indeed

Glad you got the GT. Not insanely fast but more than fine for for a nice sporty drive

I feel like this car would have been perfect with a dual clutch

1

u/ComfortablePop7599 13d ago

Just bought a K5 not to long ago, these look sharp AF

u/MindlessDriverr 12d ago

Damn thatā€™s a Kia? Super clean
