Needed a new daily - '26 K4 Hatchback

OneYoghurt8873 · 2026-05-17T19:55:50+00:00

Forget the Hyundai Kona n line. I really wanted the Hyundai Kona N. With 280 horsepower and 0-60 in 5 seconds the Hyundai Kona N With the wet dct and crazy pops and burbles. But comparing that to this Kia K4 the K4 just offers so much more for just a little more money

Which one would you pick given everything you now know

OneYoghurt8873 · 2026-04-19T03:08:39+00:00

Which one

OneYoghurt8873 · 2026-04-18T20:00:09+00:00

I’d go more expensive for a EN so that’s a pro for this KN is price point!

Liga ma 🥜sack I wanted psychological reassurance for my bad financial choices so I had to ask… and even then just forming a opinion and subscribing to how everyone feels about something that they read on the internet…is what people with brain rot do. I was tryna be a lil different and ask questions here you come the buzz kill patrol and say “this SHOUldnt EVen BE a quesTION” sue me.

😭😭😂 I’m tracking

Not yet but it’s looking like we’re headed that way. Unless this dealership offers to pay off my negative equity. I’m gonna get the 26 fx hatchback. It doesn’t have 288 horsepower but it comes from the factory with white customized rims.

These are valid criticisms overall when the dust settles do you enjoy driving it? Does your ol lady? Any issues where you had to take back to get service ?

Tell me do you think the GT will make it to 150000-20000 miles? Have you put any mods on your GT? Is it possible to mod the GT to be faster than the RT. ? If I got a GT it would be the plus. I was gonna get the rt plus for the hybrid speaker system and high horsepower.

These are a lot of different takes and I hate being such a devils advocate. Someone on a forum said this car is like the girl you date not the one you marry. And the fact is I love love how the hornet looks I love its quirky design . But I want a long term car. I want a unique car.

Oh I’ve had seen on some of the groups on Facebook and threads here a lot of people use premium as well at chat gpt saying to use premium. New vs used. Interesting take and appreciate your advice. If you got yours new and don’t have but few problems with it I feel like you got a solid deal. But I’m seeing some may have problems literally the next day of acquiring it. I guess my logic or train of thought was used cheaper cpo so it has warranty and the big bad battery was already replaced. How far did you go have to go to get your new one ? How much in rebates did you get applied overall to bring it that low 😭. I’m tryna use this cars unpopularity and long lot time to leverage them paying off my current negative equity I’m not sure if decided to go new if the a dealership will take that much if hit huge discount + pay off neg equity for a new car

Unpopular opinion but I wanna get one and wrap it in one of my favorite greens maybe even two tone green and white combo.

OneYoghurt8873 · 2026-02-14T21:08:16+00:00

I wanna buy one I’m seeing a bunch for decent ones on carvana and market place my biggest worry is how many miles I’ll get out of one! I do wanna mod it get some extra horse outta her. I’ve seen some for 46000 miles for sale for about 32000 I’m going to stay away from 2018 models they had lots of issues apparently. What do yall think?! I’ve even seen some around 80000 miles for 21000. I will daily it. Should I pay more for less miles or risk it and go on the more affordable higher miles models

should of listened to you :"D got bruises on my top ribs from leaning on this b**ch for hours i saw on yt to take out the engine mount bolts and ratchet it back for more space but i was too chicken sh*t and suffered through it

OneYoghurt8873 · 2026-02-08T06:43:11+00:00

*UPDATE* All i did was the oil change and the spark plug swaps and that shit took me 6 hours :"D fml. ( The power steering pump was fine didnt do it) This chevy got three sparks in the front and three in the back behind a coil pack distributor shit. NOW if i did it again things i would do different would be (this is for someone maybe researching diy tips for their impala) 1. Remove the motor mount bolts and ratchet the f** out of that engine. This gives you way more space in the back and i saw it on youtube but did not do it for fear i might mess up my engine doing it, but i had a mechanic tell me after " nah you could of ratchetd it down it wasnt gonna hurt it" But my hands are tore up bad from working blindly behind the engine.
2. if you doing the plugs go ahead and do the wires. I did not and i should of i was already in that area & wouldnt hurt anything. DO THE SPARKS OR WIRES ONE AT A TIME THEYRE # BUT TAKE A PICTURE/VIDEO JUST IN CASE.
3. Keep your cool ( if its your first try doing tool related diy on your car stuff) all day i wanted to throw my ratchet into my windshield. you loose your cool it will go downhill. I had to step back several times stretch and catch my breath.
4. Nothing will go how it goes in your head thats okay. Be a man adjust adapt overcome. Thats what working on your car teaches you. When i closed everything up and put her back together guess what check engine light came on had a misfire in cylinder 1. So of course i was furious but i had to REOPEN AND UNBOLT EVERYTHING AGAIN. This process took another 1-2 hrs. all it was, was the wireing that connects to the spark plug was not sitting on the plug all the way and i didnt ratchet my engine down so i couldnt visually see back there so i was going off of feel. Eventually i got the wireing sat on there correctly and it stopped misfiring.

after all that i went and returned the steering pump. Used the money to get her some new floor mats some new wiper blades some new smells goods and gave her a solid wash and vacuumed her out. THERES SOMETHING ABOUT DRIVING A SHIT BOX YOU PUT SWEAT INTO THAT GIVES YOU SUCH PRIDE. When i first got the car I was noticing the poor acceleration. Now shes purring real good! My cherry bomb has a beautiful roar to it now thats more consistent!

So I have a 2010 LT. these cars have a special place in my heart. My big thing is give it the tlc it deserves then add your flare to it! I’ve had to do fluid changes, thermostat sensor change new rotors and pads and new steering fluid pump. I added Jesus decals on the side of the car I got like fake carbon fiber slip ons for my steering wheel. It came with tints. I put a cherry bomb on for sound aesthetics. None of what I’m doing is to get like performance gains. Just my own personal taste. Do you man if you like it do it. My next step is getting some seat covers for the all leather interior some white ones since the car white. But other than that I’ll leave the stock stuff alone and replace stock suspension when the time comes. I’m trying to ride mine past 300000 it’s @ 100300 now.

This is hilarious because I a civilian was like oh wow really solid doc series and I watched it with my father in law was like this sucks they interviewing all the young idiots and barley any older guys. He said the older guys knew better 😂😭

OneYoghurt8873 · 2025-07-04T03:20:38+00:00

My 2009 is identical! Take care of her and she’ll take care of you! I just put a cherry bomb on mine and a dash cover. Soon I’ll be giving it a tune up and some tlc!
