SO Far its Aweome

This car has really surprised me, its spacious and luxurious. It has lots of features, and I am sure there are some that I haven't figured out yet. It has amazing acceleration in sport mode and its just an all around great buy. I love the body style and the sleekness of it

Sporty looking car

Comfortable ride. The Kia Ex premium package with Bose stereo and Skyview roof is amazing. Great safety features. The infotainment system is intuitive and easy to use. Love this car.

Eye catching and amazing to drive

I love this vehicle, color combo I picked is amazing and I get tons of people asking to look! This car is so fun to drive and I love all the features! Trunk opens a little hard but that is my only slight complaint about this vehicle!

Just a good look!

I purchased this car brand new in Sept it has been in the dealership 3 times not worth the money I feel I should’ve got a Honda Accord or something the outside is very nice but the car dosent ride as smooth you can feel every bump and lump apple car play always messing up I’ve had to have an alignment and wheel balance they still can’t figure out what’s wrong with it definitely not worth it to me the dealership convinces you to bring it in more money and they never tell you the real problem a rock hit the windshield and the whole window busted only having it 3 months I’ve had no good luck with this purchase it’s always something wrong with this car

More than expected

Comfortable, easy to read dashboard, excellent acceleration, driver assist is great, back-in parking so easy with screen guidance, cross traffic notification great for parking lots. Interior seems huge. Very quiet ride even with roof open. Automatic volume control for radio is helpful. Gas mileage for local street driving is OK but not terrific. But I miss my CD player.

Problems started in two weeks of owning car.

This car is not air tight. The engine sounds like rocker arms are loose. The engine constantly cuts out no matter what drive mode its in. When in sport mode the Rpm's reaches the red zone and stays between 5 and 6 and takes forever to change gears. This can't be good for trans. The sewing on the seats coming apart. The dealership can't hear me. They want to charge me. $145.00 if they say nothing is wrong. Water gets inside car and trunk when I wash it. I noticed that my car doesn't seem to be in line the trunk has a bigger space on one side where it meets body . Drivers doors are flush and passenger doors are not, I want to say its like the frame is twisted. These are all problems that QC at the factory should have caught before release. Now I see I'm not the only one with problems how do we go about getting some issues resolved. The dealers are only doing what they do. Brand new cars shouldn't have this many issues. Am I the only one that's feels this way?

Kia has stepped there game UP

This car is VERY classy. From the exterior all the way to the interior. Detail is everything in this vehicle, I LOVE IT. I was doing research on this car for 5-6 months before purchasing. Comparing to others such as the camry xse and honda accords. Im very happy with my purchase and that I got the car that I wanted! (Wolf grey with red interior). Drives AMAZING, the features in the car are AWESOME, and the look of the car gives a very sexy sporty feel.

Love my K5

I fell in love originally with the Optima but absolutely adore the K5. I love the color and the interior is fabulous. It’s black with the sand interior.
