Best car ever

Had this car for two days and have had more positive comments on its looks than any other car I’ve owned( and I’ve owned close to 45 cars in my life) That being said it also drives like a much more expensive sedan. The Bose 12 speaker sound system is AWESOME. I’m a senior citizen and this car has brought back the joy of driving. The Turbo is exhilarating to say the least. Watch the YouTube car vs car. I feel like I did when I had my first new muscle car, a 1968 Dodge Dart GTS 340. I actually think this car is faster. Do yourself a favor, test drive a 2025 Kia K5 with the Turbo. If I’m lying I’m dying!!

This car is a vast improvement over the previous Optima model. Only thing I don’t understand is why they left out the Eyeglass/Sunglass storage compartment that is usually located over the rear view mirror? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a modern car that didn’t have this minor feature?

Absolutely LOVE my K5. It has so many amazing features that I didn’t realize I’d want or need. But I feel like it’s the safest car on the road bc of all the features it has. It has some “get up” for a sedan. But looks fancy too! I would HIGHLY recommend the Kia K5. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned in my opinion.

So far, it is absolutely the overall best car I have owned. I don't know why anyone would spend more money on more expensive cars. There is more stuff on this car than I can understand. Probably will never use some of it. Only been a couple of weeks now so I can not say for the long term.
