Nice machine.!

Beautiful car inside and out! Wished they would have put fog lights on?? But that is not a deal breaker. Gets up and goes pretty good! Turbo helps. Love This car...she is a keeper!! The sapphire blue is awesome!!!

Best looking, Most reliable car I've owned!

I wanted to get a car that looked good inside and out, was reliable and wasn't expensive. I loved the yellow daylight running headlights when I first saw them. I think they are really unique and give the K5 a really beautiful look. I'm a big fan of the turbo that Kia has put into all of the engines. It gives the K5 a nice boost in the lower end of the powerband but in highway speeds its okay. The 10 year 100,000 mile warranty was another big reason why I got the K5. After 3 months of driving the K5 I still love the car.

Love my new Kia

Love everything about my K5. Safety and warranty were HUGE selling points for us. It almost literally drives itself. The capabilities are endless. Mu personal favorite is the sound system and ease of use are a plus.

Practically a luxury car without paying for it

After 3 years with a Kia Optima, I had no doubt about going to see the new Kia K5. Simply superior to what I thought. I was totally impressed with the new line, both in its exterior structure and in the interior details. Exquisitely comfortable with its wide and versatile leather seats. The navigation system with its 10.5-inch screen provides all the necessary information. The interior details make it a practically luxurious car with a high level of technology that gives the driver confidence when traveling. Definitely a big leap in quality from the Kia family.

Do not buy if you have an iPhone.

I was most excited about the features this car offered, specifically apple car play. What a joke. It is messed up now and disconnects. It is all over the internet about the error messages that constantly pop up forcing you to hit ok and then the car play button again every two minutes to get back to maps or Waze. Obviously very dangerous. Apparently Kia just blames apple. This is unacceptable especially since usb is not useable with the iPhone in the car. Never would have bought this car. When I tell you it’s annoying and embarrassing it is!

K5 GT-Line Premium Package is just astonishing.

Priced around $28K, it give you the features of the luxury cars. Not just the awesome color and the sporty look, it is filled with abundant safety features, smart cruise control, wireless phone charger, and my favorite feature wireless Apple CarPlay. It even has dual Bluetooth connectivity so your friend’s playlist can be played while you use Google map on the infotainment system. The car is so smart it tell you that you left your phone in the wireless charger dock and something is left in the back seat -like grocery bags (or your child). I am enjoying every part of this car.
