Hello everyone! Figured it’s time to introduce myself, last month I picked up a CPO 2018 AWD GT2. My last vehicle was a Nissan Frontier Pro-4X, after driving fast cars for years I wanted to try a truck again and that was quite a shock coming from a 400+ horsepower VW GTI. So living in Oklahoma, we don’t have the best roads around so the truck was a horrible ride and overall a useless truck with a 5 foot bed!
So I’ve watched this car since they were released and wanted one. But with the stigma that the Kia name carried for so long I was very skeptical about it. A few years go by, no one really has much bad to say about them so I think well let’s give them 4 years. Well it’s been 4 years and this car still has almost nothing but praise.
Now I told myself, I’m going to wait a year before doing anything to the car. Well that didn’t last but a week. Exactly 1 week in, a BMS 450 kit and a new set of wheels and tires were on their way haha! After getting the new wheels and tires on I can’t live with the fender gap that I have so a set of H&R springs are on their way.
Overall impressions with this car. The power is very nice, it comes on down low and carries it nicely throughout the rpm’s. It doesn’t feel like the turbo cars of old at all. The handling is well, to expected for a car this size. It’s definitely not like my golf haha, but in all fairness this car is substantially heavier and a GT car. The interior is a very nice place to be, seats are super comfortable and the ventilated seats are literally the best thing ever invented. However it is a strange feeling to have a cold a**hole! And the exterior…my god it’s a beautiful car. The lines a curves are perfect in my opinion, the fake hood vents I could do without but the look is good and breaks up the sea of sheet metal that is the hood. Overall I love this car so far, nothing really bad to say about it yet.
So anyways here’s a few pictures, they’re not great so fair warning.
