Crappiest car I’ve owned

It has weird smells, ac whistles, has transmission issues and slipping. Apple CarPlay and android auto both never work, the gas mileage it gets is not as advertised.

Car is what I wanted in every way

It’s been exactly what I expected it to be. Reliable, comfortable and very sporty for the GT line. I traded off my optima for the K5, both vehicles were and are xxxx good

This car is everything I expected

I am very glad that I decided to get the K5. It is a sporty car that gets good gas mileage and is big enough for my family. Love this car.

My favorite car I’ve ever owned

My favorite car I’ve ever owned, this is my fourth vehicle but my first Kia, decided on this when I saw their new K5 (formerly known as optima) when I test drove it I fell in love and this car has more features and more comfort as well as better looking over all than the competition

This car is so fun to drive!

I love my K5! I have been enjoying the sunroof and beautiful interior! If you are looking for a new car that has all of the features, look no further than the K5! This thing is packed with technology and the latest in Bluetooth and wireless charging!

Great Performance Stylish Car

Sporty look with good pickup, rides smooth. Comfortable with nice amenities inside. Large trunk room, also back seats fold down. Panoramic sunroof, GT line has no heated seats which is a down fall.

Pleasantly surprised at the quality.

I love this car. I’ve been a Honda person my whole life. How things change! I’ve owned 4 Accords, a Ridgeline, and a Prelude. By far, I am more pleased with Kia
