The Kia K4 hatchback looks great. I hope they will still bring it to this side of the ocean.

I was not expecting a Gumby reference but Evie is right!

Great review family.

I had the chance to drive this car when I went to Florida last week. I rented it for a couple of days. Funny thing is, I chose a KIA thinking it wouldn’t draw much attention, but while driving on the freeway, everyone was looking at my car, lol. I got the black version, and because of its design and the way the lights are set up in the front and back, it really stands out at night.

Also, it’s super economical! The interior is beautiful, and the dashboard is top-notch. Another thing I liked was the big trunk. No leather seats or fancy features, but that’s fine. I felt like this car would be great for commuting to work, running errands, or just driving around town.

I wouldn’t say it’s the best fit for a family of five like mine, but it works well for short trips (like traveling within your state, because this car doesn't have too much power) It could even be used as a third car option. Like you know, you already got two cars, and why not buying this car over an old toyota or honda? Honestly, I’d say this KIA K4 is the new Prius. No jokes. Pretty awesome car.

If you're thinking to buy this car as the first car for your kids, it's a good option too, cuz it's hard to speed with this one.

I was a Gumby fan growing up! The reruns were on Nick Jr. when I was a kid. Love your videos!

Great advice to live by..."don't thonk yourself in the junk" Muzio words of wisdom 😊 Thanks Micah!

My next car! Ill be getting the hatch! I have a 2020 Forte (the predecessor) I have 113k miles already and never had a issue! I love mine! Ready for a upgrade!❤

Im in my 20's and im really considering this as my first brand new car I love the way these look and I would go for the EX trim at $23, 990($25k after destination fee)

I wish the press fleet would make more base models available for reviewers like yourself. At 22K, this model is compelling. Not so much at 30K.

[TalismanPHX]

I'll wait for the much more attractive hatchback K4 due to be released shortly 😊

[getx]

Nicely done review and very interesting.

[SRTSean]

Can't wait for the hatchback review!

[MoBangFoYoBucks]

I swear that I was testing very body designs for this model a few years ago in Irvine, CA. 😲 I knew back then that it was for Korean car makers.

You can turn up the volume on the steering wheel. Just about everything can be done on the steering wheel through hard buttons or voice prompts.

[dforrest]

The Forte looked better and was a better value, IMO. But I’ve got to say I almost always agree with your trim recommendation. Kudos on thinking about value!

[Shawn_M]

Good looking inside and out. Stylish. That's a lot of car for the money.

[LoveStallion]

My complaint about the phone zone is the put the phone bad in the center, thus bisecting the remaining space on each side. They should have put the phone on the left so there would be more usable remaining space.

[rustbeltrobclassic]

I like it, but.. i think if it was a hatch it would be better, at least then with the seats down it would replace the need for an suv..

[stillwaters]

30k for a compact car is not cheap. Let’s stop normalizing that

[yadthink]

The rear 3-quarter angle is a big no-go for me. The K4, like the Elantra, tries too hard to stand out. Nice car, otherwise.

[nuclearrabbit]

I just feel like these are gonna be everywhere here soon. Definitely pretty though, but I want to drive something that not everyone will have
