I had a 2013 Optima SX and I completely agree with your comments on the traction control. There were a couple of times where I needed to quickly make a left turn on a busy road, only to have the traction control almost bring the car to a complete stop. This can definitely create dangerous situations, and I ended up just manually putting the car in 2nd if I knew I had to make a quick left turn like that. Great video as always!

I also had a '13 Optima SX! Sold it after 8 months because I couldn't stand how it drove. It was also incredibly loud inside. They put all the money into styling and features and none into the mechanicals or refinement. I sold it to my FIL who loves it! With AWD + the 2.5T and proper stability control calibration this could have been a contendah.

You should ask us Genesis coupe owners what we call the traction control, the "neck breaker", it stops the car incredibly violent especially when you are expecting it to accelerate but it does the opposite.
@bUtMyRiGhTs

Sometimes even when you disable the traction control the stability control is still on and when you hit the apex of a corner and the body rolls... it will cut your throttle input to the engine. So if you're making a quick maneuver to save your life for someone else's and you caused the little level to hit its maximum range the ECU cuts throttle. In a lot of new cars you can turn off the traction but you can't turn off the stability or the yaw control all the way.

Really good points about traction control tuning. I had a Kia Stinger GT2 and moved to a 2020 M340i, mostly because of Kia's lack of powertrain polish. Even with stability control completely deactivated it would still intervene and upset chassis balance. Some manufacturers just get it right out of the box, but for the moment I don't think Hyundai\Kia are among them. They make excellent products for the typical driver, continue to improve and perfect aspects of the user experience that no one else is even thinking about, and I don't hesitate to recommend them to friends & family. But as a driving enthusiast I find their sheer driving enjoyment and powertrain engineering to be really lacking.

There's a difference between fun to drive, boring to drive, and crappy to drive. The K5 is somewhere between boring and crappy, not a good place. The fact that you have to spend well north of $30,000 to get decent power or AWD option puts KIA solidly out of the budget car segment too. At least the exterior and interior looks a lot better I guess?

Ridiculous statement, of course people want a car that drives well. Do think a person after a test drive would buy if it drove badly? No. There are degrees in how cars drive, of course. Based on what kind of car you want. A BULLET Mustang is a high performance car, and will drive accordingly. Not to be compared to a family sedan. Doesn't mean that the sedan shouldn't handle decently, but no one expects it to handle like a Porsche. And lots of car ENTHUSIASTS, buy regular, sedans all the time.

Fair and balanced review as usual, Mark. A few points... () The midsize sedan market continues to shrink as it has for about six years. The decline is especially harsh in the COVID challenged 2020 calendar year and especially in the SUV crazy US marketplace. Nevertheless, as Mark Twain said about the appearance of his obituary in various newspapers, "The reports of my death are highly exaggerated." Even with the impact of COVID-19 and massive economic pain and uncertainty In the first half of 2020 KIA and Hyundai have managed to sell a total of over 69,000 Optimas (38.8K) and Sonatas (30.2K) in the US before their new models were available. The combined sales ranked third behind the Camry and Accord among mainstream midsize sedans, virtually tied with the Nissan Altima. Considering that Mazda was able to sell only 8000 Mazda6's and Subaru sold only 11,000 Legacy sedans in the first half of the year, the Korean manufacturers are in relatively good shape. Furthermore, despite the worldwide popularity of SUVs, sedans remain more popular in international markets and both Hyundai and KIA depend to a great extent on their home market in Korea (and other Asian markets) where the K5 and Sonata sell well. So it's not surprising to see the brands double down on midsize sedans. () The Optima's name change to K5 follows a trend that manufacturers routinely employ to reinforce their improved prestige as major international brands and unique national monikers are replaced by universal model designations. (An extreme example was Nissan renamed the entire "Datsun" brand to match the corporate name.) The Optima has been long been called the K5 in Korea and other international markets and the K# designation applies to their entire lineup of sedans. The Forte is known as the K3. The Cadenza is the K7 in Korea and their top model sedan, the K900, is known as the K9. (Apparently KIA decided that having a model that sounded like a dog (i.e. Canine) wasn't a good look in the US.) Regardless, the "K#" designation lends some consistency to the entire KIA sedan line-up. () The comment that the K5 feels "sportier" than the near identical Sonata (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="164">2:44</a>) is right on (imo). Despite using identical components for the most part the KIA and Hyundai design teams are completely separate and the two brands do an awesome job of designing closely related models that appeal to slightly different market sub-segments (e.g. Telluride vs Palisade; Sorento vs Santa Fe, Forte vs Elantra, etc.) Personally, I find the KIA design language simpler, more elegant, and more appealing than Hyundai's "fussier" image. (Lookin' at you, Palisade) but YMMV. In any event, the K5 projects a more "conventional" look without the Sonata's "Big Mouth Billy Bass" grill. () It will be interesting to see more detailed reviews of the new 2.5L turbo engine that will be available as a performance option in both the Sonata and the K5. In fact, it's an engine (in distinct states of tune) that appears in other Korean brands' vehicles, as well. The 2021 KIA Sorento replaces its V6 with the turbo 4 as its "performance" option and Genesis offers it as the base engine in their GV80 SUV. I'm not aware of whether it will be offered in the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe but I wouldn't be surprised. It's noteworthy that the new engine employs "dual" injection (port and direct). That should eliminate the noisy (but largely unsubstantiated in the case of KIA/Hyundai) complaints that GDI engines suffer from valve carbon buildup. Frankly, I'm inclined to see it as "market engineering" but that's a personal opinion. In any event there's no question that judging solely from specs (an often risky practice) the new engine should match the performance of the Accord 2.0L turbo and the Camry NA V6. But as noted in the video the question will be how effectively the drive train can put the power down on acceleration.

The Kia Stinger has AWD, a hatchback body, and no traction control problems thanks to its rear wheel drive platform. Yes, I drive a Stinger. :-)

To be fair to the car, US SUVs cannot easily be sold outside the US due to them not meeting European safety regulations for hitting people outside the SUV. This car will barely sell in the US while selling well outside.

One major difference between the K5 and Sonata is that the latter comes with the normally aspirated 2.5L 4-cyl engine in the two least expensive trim levels (SE and SEL), whereas the K5 has the 1.6L Turbo in all but the GT model. I wonder why Kia didn't opt for the 2.5L in the LX and LX-S trim levels.

You are correct... most people do not turn and floor it or floor it from stop signs and stop lights. Most people are not doing 0-60 runs on the road. Power is needed for accelerating onto highways and passing. I understand the enthusiast aspect but cars should be judged by how they fulfill what the manufacturer has designed them for not just what us gearheads like

Im really glad you got to review the new K5! I'm actually really happy that Kia is starting to use port and direct injection on the GT 2.5T. Takes away the anxiety of direct injection only problems.

I noticed your Patreon just got to ~$2700 a month, and subscribers are nearing 400k. I remember when you took the plunge to drop the paying day-job and do this full-time. Hopefully it's financially comfortable these days to do this. You and Jack Oriental do great work as a team. (more ToddD outros please, they're what get me out of bed in the morning)

Good balanced review. Not sure I would buy one, but if I was looking for a highway cruiser, it might be a consideration. That said, the FWD overly aggressive traction control issue could be a deal breaker depending on where you live. (There has been the rare occasion when I've misjudged traffic, and pulled a left imprudently with a FWD car.) In a major centre, (I'm Canadian, so British spelling,) you need a car that can be responsive to aggressive throttle applications when turning. Making a fast left turn through a traffic hole, and having the traction control crap out, can be terrifying. And what happens if the roads are a little wet? Do you cross your fingers and hope for the best?
