Love my K5! It's so elegant and comfortable at the same time. It's our second Kia sedan and I'm super happy with the new features. Plenty of space in the back seats and trunk.

This car drives very smooth and it is quiet without a lot of Road noise. It has several modern safety systems like Lane change assist and blind spot detection. Also the car is beautifully designed. It also has a 20-year 200,000 MI warranty. Love it!

K5 Great Car

I got the K5 GT-Line car with a Sunroof around December 2021. It is now June of 2022. My car looks fabulous with the sports trim 18 inch wheels and I love my color of blue. The Rim's are awesome and 6 months later and I still love looking at this car. When I first got car I was disapointed in minor thing because these were things I had in other cars such as no light in the glove compartment, or lack of an alarm when backing up and you get too close to a curb, i didnt like the P zero Tires that ride great but are noisy as hell. As I grew into the car I just let that go. Now I really love the car. Although this is not the GT it's still a great car. Once again it's the GT-line. This car has a 1.6 turbo and I love it I still win races on the highway against a lot of other cars while going home from work It's very comfortable, It's got a Sunroof, I also feel that as the tires got older they did quite down quite a bit. I actually had to get a new tire due to hitting a curb and the noise level went up little so either I'll change the brand or wait for the P Zero's to quite down again. As far as the informant in the car the 10 inch display is beautiful. This car is equipted with it's own GPS, Satalight radio, The down side is after a year you need to pay to most of the features. there are other negatives also. When you try to speak to it to give it a command by voice while driving it has a very hard time understanding you. After a software update it got a tiny bit better but it's still bad. Another thing I didn't like the presets must go in numerical order. So lets say I want button 123 to have station 98 station 101 and station 100 it must be put in Station 98 Station 100 and station 101. As far as sound on the radio it's not the best but it got better with the software update I think ( or I just got used to it.) It came with the standard speakers. This car also has Android Auto and apple play which is nice. Since I'm an android guy I personally like the android auto gps is better than kia's supplied gps because it does understand me while driving and directions are easier to follow. but kia's Gps looks Better and the map shows the speed your traveling. On a positive side the cruise control is great if you get too close to a car it will break automaticly, as far as gas milage If you drive the car " corectly " meaning in 8th gear and at 60 to 70 miles per hours you can get about 490 to 500 miles on a tank ( i drive 500 miles a weak) But if you drive the way I like to gunning the turbo going 90 to a hundred ( in full control) you might pull in like 290 miles per tank, if you drive normal like 80 mph to 85 no gunning the turbo you can do like 320 to 350 on a full tank. City driving I'm not that sure i'm always on the highway but maybe you get 25 mpg. but if you barly touch the gas peddle i'm sure you can get more. Mostly what I like about all of this it is a fast car but you also get great gas milage that for me that is what I love. I'm sure the GT is much more thrilling but I need to be concerned about gas now also. As far as other driving features the car can steer it'self which is cool and the lane changing options are great, the sterring wheel feels great, I love the led lights on the car they are bright and the front has amber blinking lights which look cool and the back has decorative Led lights spread across the trunk. As I said this car is amazing. I love the remote start your car option I have. I use it during the summer because I got dark blue with black mostly leather and cloth seats in Florida. So when you get in the car it's hot. even with the tinted windows. So I love my remote start. I also love that the k-5 has is you can unlock your car by your phone and remote start it ( bypassing the keyfob) that is wonderful if you lock your keys in the house I can actually save a set in the car and feel Secure incase I forget my key in the house. The car I don't think will lock if you lock a key with a fob inside the car which is nice also. you will hear a long beep when trying to lock the door from outside if there is a key with a fob. Hey I'm spoiled but i'm not rich. I love this car is it perfect perfect? no. I'd like to have a few more things like that light in the glove department or a hydrolic trunk, cooled and heated seats memory seats- it's not the most absolute perfect car but for what it does have it's an AWESOME car. and yes the best car I've ever had. I don't need everything but I wouldn't mind having it either. It rides great, it's fast enough ( even for me) Looks wonderful, handles well, So yes I'd say this car is a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
