Hey Scotty, I'm back in buying car game and I'm split between two. A 2022 KIA K5 GT with the 2.5L 4 cylinder with front wheel drive brand new off the lot for about 34 out the door or a 2015 Lexus IS 350 F Sport with 52,000 miles for 34 out the door as well. I know these cars are made for different things but for overall experience and more importantly reliability whats the best bang for my buck?
Thanks Scotty!

Oh the Kia will give you a lot of BANG alright! 😆
We are currently not recommending any Hyundai Motor Group products due to their poor quality/reliability.

Also, I can’t recommend the Lexus IS as it is susceptible to premature inner tire wear so you’d end up buying tires frequently (some owners had to replace within 10,000 miles). Lexus has not addressed or acknowledged the issue, unfortunately, and it’s not as simple as just re-aligning the front end. Partial solution has been to replace the front lower control arm bushings but it doesn’t fully address the issue.
