2021 Kia Seltos

noise

Road noise is very noticeable and having a conversation with a passenger can be a bit difficult.

Cabin noise when driving on the highway is fairly loud,

This even after Techs from two different dealerships test drove and declared 1) "That is not right" (when he felt the vibration) and 2) described in his report to KIA as "Excessive Steering vibration".

In general the interior feels a bit more rugged than in the Sportage and this shows with the road noise which is louder than in the Sportage,

family

This car meets all the needs of my family and it rides and drives amazing!!

Perfect for traveling with my family and has plenty of room for all of my grandbabies stuff.

The kids have plenty of room in the back seats and it has just enough hauling room in the back, especially if 2nd row is down.

Needed the Soul for my handicapped Mom to get in.

For only being a week old it seems to be a reliable car and a safe car for me and my family.

It has a lot of space for shopping or luggage or kids soccer stuff.

Plenty of space to store your groceries and luggage.

My son says it’s sexy and doesn’t look like “grandmas car”

turbo

Plenty of legroom for a small CUV good power in the non turbo version and alot of cargo room for a small vehicle .

I love driving this seltos with the turbo.

The 1.6 turbo engine is very responsive and gets great gas mileage.

The SX Turbo is fun to drive and has great luck-up!

I went with the SX  and love the turbo and awd.

In SX turbo, the engine is quiet, responsive and ready to go.

I went with lower trim for 17 inch wheel for comfort and lower maintenance of none turbo engine.

Performance with the Turbo engine let’s you feel the gains in HP from the standard engine offering, it gives you that boost once you hit the higher RPMs.

feature

Also went with S-AWD model to get safety features and heated seats.

Very numerous safety features will actuallly help me become a better driver.

but Kia has a lot of videos to explain all the features.

It has all the safety features and amenities I wanted and needed.

but not too big, tons of safety features and I love the look of it.

The trim package has the features I want.

but felt the new styling and mileage made up for those comforts but als picked up some new features such as the automatic cruise control,auto headlights and remote start.So far very impressed with the new Seltos

Lots of safety features, great fuel economy, and value.

compared with HR-V and CX-3 Seltos beat both in every categories of comfort, features, and size.

But that aside; this car has excellent responsiveness to driver demands, a very intuitive driver assistance package, a great sound system, comfortable seating all seating positions, great gas mileage (even in the thirsty Sport mode), and last

comfortable

AWD standard in the lower model plenty of visibility and confortable on long drives .

I love this car it is comfortable and roomy.

SMALL ENGINE BUT REALLY COMFORTABLE INSIDE, LOOKS LIKE A SMALL VERSION OF THE RANGE ROVER.

The interior is roomy and comfortable for a smaller SUV.

but, I'm 6'3 300 lbs and I fit in this Seltos LX comfortable.

It is comfortable, affordable, and drives very smooth.

room

Car all and beyond very reliable transportation and most of all space room to travel shopping sports gear with the children games and there team

but this is a game changer so easy to handle and the space is wonderful this definitely changed my mind

Plenty of upfront room for me which was hard to find coming from a roomy 09 Pilot!

I'm Surprise it has allot of Leg Space as for general it's not the biggest Interior space

2021 Mazda CX-5

transmission

Feels like the motor is winding while the transmission waits too long to up-shift.

I also find the engine noisy under acceleration with transmission shift hesitancy and roar.

The transmission hesitates and thumps (in lower gears), making cornering, stopping and starting terrible.

The main problem is the automatic transmission.

but the transmission .it some times shifts hard .

The BMW drives like a dream with a smoother transmission and ride, much better build quality, has a light interior, a panoramic sunroof, and a bigger gas tank with better gas mileage.

Not as good as we had hoped, I could change gear in a manual gearbox car quicker than this car changes, also for the money not at all good value, sad to say we are already talking about changing it for something else.

tire

My only complaint would be the budget tires they use.

The only disappointment so far is the Yokohama Geolander tires that are not well rated.

Wind noise while driving with windows down very irritable, Gas mileable ok

but I suspect better tires could bring road noise in the cabin down even further.

just a solid, reliable, small SUV with enough cargo space for groceries and the occasional small furniture purchase.

But, hadn't owned a Mazda until my wife showed up with her new grocery getter.

I would highly recommend the CX-5 for a small family, or a single person.

This car is spacious for a small family of four to five and convenient to drive and there is a lot of horse power when you needed

The trunk space is plenty roomy for a small family with no kids, or one kid, and i love the one touch open and close feature.

Enough space for my family with two kids.

Are family is coming from a 2014 Buick Enclave.

The CX-5 Touring is recommended by Consumer Reports, is comfortable, quick and economical enough without the turbo engine.

The ride is very comfortable and the turbo provides enough power to be taken seriously on the highway when merging or passing.

Turbo engine is nice and I am getting about 27 MPG, mostly highway.

I loved the acceleration with the turbo and the windshield display

The CX5 is very quiet, the Bose sound system superb, and the turbo flat out hauls a. ..

The turbo charged engine is only available on the upper trims pushing $38-40,000, and the Carbon edition with an MSRP of about $33,000.

The Turbo 4 has plenty of power and can run on regular fuel.

The CX-5 turbo has met or exceeded our expectations.

Love the CX5, and now with the Turbo engine, it definitely has the Zoom-Zoom factor.

We like the stability of the AWD, the safety features, the responsive steering and the seats.

I’m absolutely loving my cx-5, there are so many safety features and it’s purely luxury

but gained a multitude of safety features, gas usage reduction  and it is as much fun to drive as the Acura.

but also tilts side to side, making selecting options easier than a touch screen.

The high tech features are a continuing irritation.

Smooth, quiet, peppy, responsive with awesome safety features.

This could have been added as an option in a package without paying an extra $2000 to go up into another trim for other stuff not needed.

Plenty of head/leg room, extraordinary amount of standard safety features, good gas mileage, luxurious interior, unique exterior styling, sturdy build, comfortable, and fun to drive.

I really like the cylinder cut-off feature.

I purchased this vehicle mostly based on its safety features,

At a glance, it’s very polished and riding around in it is plenty comfortable and seems luxurious.

The attention to detail in the inner cabin and the comfort level is far superior.

Comfortable, packed with tech & safety and stylish.

but I'm now in a car that I thoroughly enjoy, we can get in and out of it with no problem at all and the seats are very comfortable

Sensing wipers, levelling headlights and a nice comfortable ride.

interior

The interior is upscale, the exterior is classier than the competition.

Mazda cuts corners with tech (especially) and cheaps out on some finishes to give you a 4-turbo and "soft touch" interior.

The interior seems plush and refined compared to other models

It had the best looking interior without going into the premium market.

I got the Soul Red Crystal with the white interior and I couldn't appreciate more how fun this is to drive.

Looks very classy and I love the interior of the CX5.

The interior design is very luxurious for a car that is inexpensive.

2021 Honda Civic

It's a perfect car choice for my family and I.

It has plenty of room inside for my family and I.

I am very pleased to have such a good looking family vehicle.

Plenty of room inside the car for my family.

We both agreed this would make a nice family car.

It's a fun car to drive being a small turbo type of car.

Small turbo engine for performance pick up.

Good quality car that also has a turbo engine.

Plenty of performance being a small turbo engine.

Turbo engine is a nice feeling to have since it's my first one.

And a awesome turbo engine that gets up and goes.

Nice performance the car has being a small turbo engine.

The car has a nice performance kick being a small turbo engine.

fuel

I, bought this car just to get good gas mileage and to have a nice car that is low maintenance cost.

mileage

Nice stereo system with apple car play to enjoy the music.

Definitely affordable and it's a fun car to drive.

This car is fantastic and it's been fun driving it.

These cars are alot of fun driving around.

2021 Kia Sorento

All around, a great SUV for a couple like us or a small family.

This car is perfect for me and my soon to be extended family!

I have 2 kids and there’s plenty of room for everyone.

I want the “kids” to have plenty of room in the back and for it to lay flat.

This vehicle  comes with all the features you need, the overall cost of maintenance is inexpensive and is a great size vehicle for a couple or a whole family.

Now we have enough room to pack all the grandchildren in at one time.

This car meets all my needs 
Plenty of room for friends and family 
Storage is also great with the 3rd row seats down
Great so far

stylish, comfortable for long & short drives, does everything that's required for carrying my family, friends & stuff.

The Good Stuff

The powertrain in this Sorento Hybrid is just excellent; I generally leave it in "eco" mode and it drives like it has a normal or turbo 4 cylinder with much larger displacement.

The power from the turbo charged engine will totally surprise you.

Feel the turbo power, very fast to be a 2.5 T. Sporty look.

This car is fun to drive with the V4 Turbo.

Some favorite features: hands free and kick free tailgate, just stand behind it.

This SUV has  safety, comfort, performance, and convience features of  vehicles costing many thousands more.

It is a beautiful car with lot's of safety features.

This car is loaded with features, looks good, drives good, and is very reliable.

A lot of safety features that are standard.

The SUV thats just right for a person who likes adventures and also has all the features of a luxury suv.

The x-line package is first class and a steal at its price.

but less internal space than the Sorento.

Best mileage, easy to maneuver, space full, very secure.

Plenty of leg room for every one, lots of cargo space with third seat down.

With the third row collapsing you get nice cargo space.

Plenty of space for me as I'm 6'4 and I have 2 year old that's almost the same height lol.

It takes a minute to find my sweet spot for comfort.

Very comfortable seats and a premier layout of Instrumentation.

Great car, spacious and very comfortable.

Love it, comfortable has all the bells and whistles. Dependable!!!

We were looking for comfort, handling, hauling utility, power, and a new look.

2021 Kia K5

Right after I bought the car I noticed a rattle coming from the dash.

After a month of owning my k5 EX the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is the terrible wind and road noise that comes into the cabin.

IMO, noisy weak engine, outside noise very audible in cabin, uncomfortable cabin surrounded by shiny plastic, rough ride, doesn't handle road or bumps well

I haven't experienced any of the nuances that others have pointed out, such as rattling and/or squeaking sounds.

It was all rattle and the engine made a lot of noise even when revving at 1500 rpm.

windshield

however it sounds like engine is going to blow up windshield is defective in the sun night and rain I owned a 2013 Optima never had any problems at all k5 is so disappointing I do not like it at all

Only drawback is the rear window, could be improved with a rear wiper like the Audi 5.

lights

2400 miles in and it already needs to go in for an engine diagnostic on 8/6/21; stopped at a red light and the car had NO pickup/power and RPM’s were pegged at 4500-5000 when I took off from the red light; lights started flashing on the dashboard, etc.

With LESS THAN 300 MILES and after owning for only 3 weeks the engine light came on and the car started shaking violently.

the door handles light up as you approach the vehicle, the smart trunk opens automatically when you stand in front of the trunk, the front collision detector sounds if you're getting to close to the vehicle in front of you.

My engine light came on and it turn out to be a faulty ERG valve.

The first week I had my K5 every light on the dashboard came on and stayed on for almost an entire day.

Car is great, however; driver headlight veers off to left with a distinct V shape that is void of light and light isn't adjustable.Dealer is trying to resolve,

A few cons to the car, the approach lights in the door handle could be a little brighter.

It has the comfort and gas efficiency of a nice family car

It is a sporty car that gets good gas mileage and is big enough for my family.

Would recommend this vehicle to my family, friends and co workers.

The KIA 5, 2021 is for my daughters commuting and she loves it from day one !

This K5 was for my son I have an optima This has all the safty features we could ask for and more He had a Kia soul that was handed down from us
(paerents)

Definitely a big leap in quality from the Kia family.

The car is so smart it tell you that you left your phone in the wireless charger dock and something is left in the back seat -like grocery bags (or your child).

Got this car for my son, wanted something safe and great warranty.

The 4 cyl turbo is snappier than my 57 chevy small block V8.

Big improvement with turbo, trans, steering.

I'm a big fan of the turbo that Kia has put into all of the engines.

but with turbo charging and 8 speed transmission it feels fast, smooth and powerful.

Turbo engine is awesome when you need power to get around big trucks on short stretches, and taking corners on winding roads is like dreaming.

This can is smoother, quieter and more comfortable than my Honda Accord or my BMW 528i.

Seats are comfortable and with all these great sides it costs relatively low which makes it perfect for my first car in my life.

I have the GT line and I love it it’s a fun sexy comfortable vehicle very good on gas and everywhere I go people always complement me I did a few changes

It’s a beautiful car that’s fun to drive, comfortable and gorgeous inside and out

I went with the sapphire blue.. Looks badass and the interior is sweet with comfortable leather seats and an IPad-sized display screen.

The car met all my needs, it’s smooth, has all the features that I need, big trunk, comfortable and has really surprisingly big leg room

Extremely smooth handling, comfortable ride.

I ended up getting all the bells and whistes including the GT package with the racing seats, steering wheel, rims, moon roof, stereo, heated and cooling seats and steering wheel and more!!

This vehicle is well worth owning for the price and standard features.

The console is great has so many goodies not sure how to use them all yet.

Overall, as I rated it all 5 stars for the 6 features above, and it is definitely very well worth it, & I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering buying a brand new Kia.

The Kia K5 is everything I wanted in a car it meets all of my needs and is so comfortable,it has so may options that have exceeded my expectations.

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

It has so many safety features that really sold me.

If you are looking for a new car that has all of the features, look no further than the K5!

The only thing I haven't been happy with is the type of material used in the interior it collects EVERYTHING!!

but that was for me I change my emblemsAnd I change the color of my interior I love this vehicle I recommend anybody to Lee’s go test drive this car I promise you you’re gonna want to leave out the car lot with it

the overall ride and how quiet it is has plenty of power and the interior is stylish and comfortable and it has plenty of cool tech

Major upgrade with the interior and design.

I have been enjoying the sunroof and beautiful interior!
