This and the new Sonata twin are excellent..and are close on the heels of an Accord and Camry. Hold down cost and go to base XLS model. Big loss may be power driver seat..but it has multiple manual adjustments. Take care of it..3K oil changes, etc. and I am certain this will be a good car for a good deal of time.
Base car has cloth seats, very sharp 17" alloys but dumps sun roof and the regular roster of mostly "doo-dads". Save your cash, be firm on the deal and you will have a very good car.
Excellent review!!

I bought the XLS K5 new for $25888- . I wanted a real A/T. Only drawback thus far no spare tire. 40MPG.

I bought that yesterday.. run smooth. Luxury sedan to be honest

Congrats! Enjoy! Thanks for tuning in.

So far GT and Sportage base have port and direct injections. Mustang turbo also has port and direct injections. Toyota, Ford, and Hyundai group are the only ones. This feels like a home assignment before all automakers can switch to all ev models, where port injection is added for the last ICE update.

Chabby, I always enjoy your car reviews, but no matter the car, especially a relatively large car, it would have been nice to know how the car handles. How a car handles is a very important factor for many buyers, even though it's not a Mustang, or a Camaro.

Thanks for tuning in and the feedback. I’ll keep that in mind. Much appreciated.

Curious how long it will last. Heard a lot of conflicting info about Kia. I’m torn between this and a Honda

[@Superthecod]

lol it’s a 10 year 100k warranty. Pretty easy pick

The K5 is a sharp looking sedan with some nice features. I don't like too much high gloss black. Collects way too much dust. My Toyota has it and I'm constantly cleaning it. Excellent review. 👍

[@chabbysrides]

Thanks Jack. I know what you mean. My wife’s Sorento has the same issue.
