Well done! Consise and to the point. I bought my K5 GT LINE with premium package in passion red in may of 21. So its 2 years old . Have 25.000 miles on it now, it has been great..i bought it at just the right time. Paid msrp, and qualified for the 0.0 intrest rate promotion they were offering! Put 5 grand down and my payments are five years, and very reasonable. Southern California car, still looks brand new.

More oddities! My 2022 KIA Forte GT has rear AC vents, I also have a sunroof, I also have ventilated seats. Finally, I have the same 1.6Ltr Turbo Engine, but with 201 hp. Now, the K5 is 300 lbs heavier, will someone tell me why the KK has only 180 hp. The extra 21 hp will surely help this car feel far sportier, and help with passing on the highway. Perhaps because the car doesn't handle as well as my Forte GT, KIA thought the extra HP would be too much for the car. I owed a 2021 Sonata SEL Plus with the 180 hp engine. It was somewhat sluggish, and the handling was nowhere near my Forte GT.

Is there any other car at this price point that can compete with this trim level of K5 engine and looks?

Why oh why does KIA and many other car manufacturers, place these BLACK mirrors instead of color keyed side mirrors, in this case would be white. The black mirrors totally ruin the flowing look of the car. I own a 2022 KIA Forte GT, and it's the same problem. Instead of having colored keyed side mirrors, mine are also black.

What really makes no sense is why did KIA add those horrible FAKE EXHAUST TIPS, when OPTIMAS with the Turbo engine had REAL dual exhausts. How do these designers justify their salaries?
