Remember the Optima? Picture that with big power and limited traction. And now imagine you live in Big Sur...
When not slaving for PH I spent a fair amount of my professional time writing for American publications. I often report for them on the sort of cool European machinery that doesn’t get to the ‘States due to homologation problems or limited demand. But this time I’m doing it in reverse. Because the Kia K5 GT is an interesting, quick and well-priced car which is sold in the U.S., but which we’re never going to get the chance to buy over here.
Not that off-the-line urge is something the GT excels at. Other manufacturers have attempted to tame the combination of front-wheel drive, big output and turbocharged punch with clever geometry-tweaking suspension like Ford’s Revo Knuckle and Vauxhall’s HiPerStrut. Kia has opted for the simpler solution once favoured by Saab - basically staging a dogfight between the front tyres.
While the K5 GT is only decent at being a performance car, its case improves rapidly on the ‘everything else’ bit. It’s seriously spacious, as you’d hope given a 4,905mm length which makes it barely shorter than a Volvo S90, and slightly longer than the rear-drive Kia Stinger. The GT covered more than 1,000 miles four up without any complaints the back about legroom.
