I've had nothing but problems from day one with the Kia K900. Shortly sfter driving the car off the lot, I felt a vibration coming from the front of the car, immediately brought it back to Kia... They claimed that the tires were "out of round" because the car sat on the lot for so long. So they balanced the tires and told me to put miles on the tires and it would go away. I brought it back again... They replaced the tires, it still didn't fix the vibration. They replaced the wheels, then told me that the car was fine... I took it off the lot, and to my dismay, the fix didn't work... Then hey replaced the drive shaft... It still didn't work, the vibration was still there. Kia corporate got involved... They sent out a specialist, with a newly designed drive shaft.. Promised me that installing this newly designed drive shaft would work because they have had numerous customers that have had the same problem with their K900 models, and it fixed the problem 80% of the time.... I had to wait for over 25 days for the drive shaft to be installed.... And it still vibrated... The magical drive shaft still didn't work. Kia finally admitted that this was a problem inherent to the car's design and engineering and that it will never cease to vibrate as it does. Furthermore, they informed me that The vibration is within the normal operating specs of the vehicle, and there was nothing more they could do to address it. All of the above transpired within two months of driving it off the lot. I just want to give them their car back, get my money back, so I can move on from this nightmare...they've refused to take it back. They've refused to give me my money back. It's been two months since they acknowledged that they can't fix the vibration... I now have to sue Kia to get them to take their defective designed car back and return my money. Don't waste your money or your time like I did. There's a reason why they're leasing a 60+k luxury car for 399/month..... Seems like a great bargain...right? Don't buy a Kia. I did, and never will again.

Onboard Entertainment System is woefully poor

Let me start by saying I love the car. The ride and comfort are exquisite and the car has a rich look and feel. However, the entertainment system is a mess. Pandora only works with iPhone unless you use the blue tooth option which will play the music but you have to control the app from your Android phone. I thought using the Uvo App would fix the problem but the app does not download to my phone. Very frustrating. The system is complicated and not very intuitive.

8 months of owning it

Here is the best way to put it: It is a lot of car for under $500/mo. It has great value when comparing to A8, S550, or BMW 7 series. I would say K900 is behind germans brands by about 30-35% in most categories. But it leaves Germans in the dust when it comes to value. When compared to above mentioned german brands where my payment would be 1k or more per month--I am paying $465/mo on a lease for luxury package This is my first Kia and I am impressed.

This is one of the best luxury cars every made. Bought this vehicle brand new has 47000.00 miles. Looks and runs like brand new , change 1 battery, tires and brakes since we owned the car. No issues no problems no headaches. Best used car to buy for under 25000.00 with every bell and whistle available plus 10 year engine and transmission warranty.

Best Luxury car for the money

I bought this car in 2017 (35,000 mi), now in 2020 (65,000 mi) I live in San Diego. The ONLY problem I have had was the pax headrest rattled on bumpy roads. Took it to the dealer, fixed, no problem. I have owned MB C230, BMW 540i (V8), and 740i (V8). I will NEVER own a german car again (lease only if must), they are HUGE $$$ drags (nothing drives as well as a BMW I will admit). The K900 is fantastic, I enjoy NOT having to take it to the mechanic. My major complaint is the handling, too floaty and the car will let you throw it into a corner (BMWs will). Also a minor bummer is the auto cruise was programmed inverted: when a car leaves the lane in front of me the car brakes, when a car moves into my lane the car does not anticipate and brake to let them in UNTIL they are right in front of me, I think the software is backwards. To compensate I turn it off and on. That said it have never hit a car in LA traffic, and we go from 85 to zero a bunch and fast. Overall super car!! Update July 2021, 72,000 miles: had to replace shocks and struts, no aftermarket parts so it was $2000 for parts and $1500 labor, more at dealer. Still screwy auto cruise. Engine has always has a noise when cold I thought was squeaky belt, turns out to be a known internal issue. As the second owner of car they will NOT cover repair. Typical! Hope it doesn’t blow up on me for a while. Other than that it’s still a good car. Brakes hold since I bought it at 35000 miles, they are long lasting, so I’ll stick with stock.
