Very problematic vehicle!!!

This is the fourth Kia that I have owned, and for me the most problematic vehicle I have ever owned. The first week I had my K5 every light on the dashboard came on and stayed on for almost an entire day. When I took it back to Kia they said nothing was wrong. Now my driver side rear signal light has stopped working. I took it back to Kia and they said the wires were loose and needed tightening. That was last week, this week the signal light has again stopped working. Went back to Kia they said the turn signal needs to be replaced. How does anything needs to be replaced on a brand new car with only 8,000 miles on it?????

K5 GT

I had never drove a Kia before and was very impressed with the convenient of the controls. This car gave me what I was looking for plus additional things I had hoped for but didn’t expect to have. This car is perfect.

My 1st KIA - K5 GT-Line

I owned a 2013 Dodge Charger SXT but needed a new car. When deciding what to buy I test drove an Accord Sport, Camry SE, and was still interested in a Charger GT. I eliminated the Camry because of the interior layout. I eliminated the Accord and Charger because of the higher price with fewer upgrades. I bought a red K5 GT-Line with the panoramic sunroof. You get so many gadgets, a great look, a smooth responsive ride, lots of storage (golf bag with a push cart fit easily), and a quick enough acceleration with 30+ MPG. I love it so far. Even though I put 5 stars on the Reliability, its still too early to judge that.

Very stylish.

Almost like rocket science at first. The car can drive itself. I Love all my up grades. Heated sets the most!. Back up cam is a nice touch.
