2021 Kia K5

noise

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.

steering

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!!

Big improvement with turbo, trans, steering.

The heated steering wheel is awesome as well.

The technology is this car is amazing, I literally had the car drive me home from work using the steering and lane assist.

My favorite is the panoramic sun roof😀 total power seats heated seats and steering wheel .

The steering wheel is a nice size and thickness with a nice smooth leather surface.

speed

Has power, speed, sexiness, and fuel is good.

Car has just the right amount of power to get up to freeway speed without getting in to trouble.

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

Rides smooth at any speed, easy to handle, exceptional acceleration especially in the sport mode, the seats are both comfortable and offer great support.

comfortable

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.

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

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.

feature

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!

interior

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!

I love this car overall great  time with it mine is blue with black inside

2020 Hyundai Tucson

It has everything from heated front and rear seats, air conditioned front seats, heated steering wheel, navigation, and front and rear cameras.

I like the steering much better than the one we traded in.

The deal was terrific - love the car, drove a Santa Fe for 12 years, time to get a new car - it has all the safety features that are standard now, gets good mileage and as a bonus, it has a heated steering wheel!

The heated steering wheel is absolutely awesome.

An adjustable steering column makes it a great feature for those shorter people, like my wife.

The comfort features--leather seats, heated (front and back) & cooled seats (heated steering wheel too) make riding or driving very enjoyable!

I love the way it drives smoothly and am able to pick up speed fast on the highway.

There is plenty of power in the engine for me and have had no issues trying to get speed up to pass.

Plus, the road noise was less noticeable at higher speeds.

Really like the 360 camera view and the cruise control that slows down in reacting to a car in front at a slower speed and then goes back to setting when car in front leaves lane or increases speed.

The 2.4L GFI engine and 6 speed transmission are ideally suited for this vehicle.

We have the Limited version with all leather interior and all of the features that came standard were great.

All the safety features including blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert work fantastic and the rear camera has been great.

Really cool features and is very comfortable to drive.

This SUV has more options for the price  than any other Make & Model.

Car performed exceptionally well in extremely cold and snowy weather, thanks to the good all-weather tires provided by the dealer and Hyundai's winter package.

Best vehicle with most options for my money!

smooth driving and good performance  with good gas mileage
safety features such as Blind spot detection , 360 degrees surround 
camera ,  power Liftgate with Hands free  auto opening

Lots of leg room very comfortable for a long drive.

Even with power seats you cannot get comfortable.

Smooth ride, very comfortable (I am 6 ft 6 inches tall guy, 235 lbs.).

I would buy this car again it’s a great family car, very comfortable I’m a suv guy all day long is spacious and easy to use

My Tucson is comfortable inside and stylish on the exterior.

This car meets our needs with adequate leg and cargo space and provides a comfortable ride with all the safety features.

ride

It rides great and is quieter than our last several vehicles.

but I see that as making for a VERY quiet ride and maybe a little extra safety.

2020 Ford Explorer

It makes noises over an hour after I shut it off and get out of it. Crazy!!

Then it started making a metal rubbing noise apon acceleration,  and now it's giving me trouble in reverse.

There are a few sqeaks and the fit and finish of a $62K vehicle could be better.

Lots of cabin wind noise at 45mph and above.

Sounds so awful and feels like I’m driving a ticking time bomb!

This noise only happens when moving and increases in volume to a point as you gain speed.

Car makes strange noises after you shut it off for up to half hour later when you close any of the doors.

The engine is extremely noisy, I don't understand why Ford couldn't come up with something to silence the disgusting noise it makes.

Grinding noise also at 5,000 miles, Replaced oil cooler.

The passenger door has developed a loud rattle that I can't seem to figure out.

failure

It has dumped the trans fluid 2 times and has had multiple transmission failures and irratic hard shifting.

Our latest issue was an engine light for cold start malfunction that occurred when the vehicle was started in our heated garage.

By 2,000 miles, the backup camera has failed multiple times, the screen glitches a lot, and when the A&#47;C is on, heat will come out on the passenger side sometimes.

Unfortunately my transmission and computer system both failed at less than 6 months of ownership.

.must have been malfunction with lane assist when I didn’t even have it on.

transmission

But there is a huge problem with this transmission and Ford knows it !!!!!!!

The transmission doesn’t slip every day.

but after only 8 months the 10 speed transmission  went out and after 6 weeks they still have not fixed it, it is still sitting at dealership waiting for parts.

4x4 has gone out twice, All sorts of warning lights go off, windows go up and down by themselves, transmission cooler went out, starting to stall, going back in to Ford for fixes

but are experiencing a transmission issue.

The engine transmission is not smooth, actually is very rough, the automatic transmission makes the car jerk while shifting .

but shifting has been a real issue jerking from 1st to 2nd gear.

Yesterday i experienced a major issue with the transmission.

Like dimming rear view mirror, dimming driver mirror, forward sensing, de-icer wipers, real leather seats (it’s now uncomfortable synthetic).

I was driving down the highway and a piece of the trim on my windshield flew off both sides are cracked they said my car is never been in an accident and I’ve never had the windshield replaced.

Even the Explorer's brother the "Aviator" was difficult to see out the windshield and A pillars.

gear

I can definitely feel the car shifting gears as I accelerate and I can feel a strong enough downshifting as I slow down that I wouldn't expect from a car at this price range.

It’s starting to have issues when you first went from a stop to start where the car with jerk around and then as you came to a stop the car with jerk down feeling each gear to you came to a stop.

If you have the drive mode set to "sport" be prepared to know that the engine will hang onto a lower gear longer than you think it needs to.

Tow package, 4wheel drive, fuel economy, power seats, heated seats ,steering wheel and much more.

Seat massage, leather interiors, heat/cool seats, plenty plugs for my grandkids electronics, heated steering wheel (would love to see the same feature with a cool setting for the steering wheel, that would be awsome), there are more features that I like,

The amenities are what I wanted such as seat warmers and heated steering wheel!

I purchased the XLT with Comfort Package (heated seats, steering, de-icer).

Can't live without the seat heaters and steering wheel heater.

Heated and cooled front seat plus a heated steering wheel are wonderful!

The RWD based AWD makes this car feel balanced in corners with great steering feel.

Recently traded over of the 2017s for a 2020, what a difference, comfort, fuel economy, power/acceleration, 10 speed transmission, REAR WHEEL DRIVE now.

The speed limit indicator works okay when there is a posted highway sign it will display the posted speed.

I enjoy the comfort, the speed, the control and all the extra options it offers.

Has good pick up speed, the color is fantastic, comfortable and roomy!

Love the advanced features especially adaptive speed control.works well for my golf clubs.

I have driven my car over 500 miles in both slow speed and highway speed, and I can say the transmission runs smoothly and without hesitation.

This new version of the explorer is incredible 
I am completely satisfied with everything so far
 from the performance to the ride and luxury and ease of dashboard functions 
The 10 speed transmission with 400 horsepower is absolutely exhilarating

I find myself well over the speed limit often which tells me things are dialed in. -Appearance.

Ride is smooth and it responds to speed adjustments well.

Love the colors and interior is very nice and very comfortable

It is stylish and comfortable and gets great gas mileage.

It’s comfortable, drives smooth and looks AMAZING. I’m extremely happy with my purchase :)

Most comfortable with everything at my fingertips.

Our Explorer is comfortable, drives very well, gets great mileage and handles winter driving conditions with ease.

This car is super comfortable and love all the features it has to offer!

It is powerful,  comfortable ,safe and reliable.

Still getting comfortable with all of the technology though.

Like the comfort of the seats,  size and gas mileage for a SUV.

Great car very spacious,drives  exceptionally well.. love on the options in it!

Still learning to use all the features it has .

Great features, love the Platinum edition.

It is a loaded up vehicle with about all the options you can get on an Explorer.

Was a great price And towing package was a plus too.

AWD for off road driving..many safety features 360° blind spot sensors.

It checks a lot of boxes IMO, its nice to drive, been very reliable, very stylish on the outside, and very roomy inside.

It’s leather trim covers most of the interior and is complimented by beautiful gray wood trim.

I love the look inside and out and all the “bells & whistles” that came with this model.

My only issues with the Explorer relate to the Sync system, and interior trim pieces.

Smooth ride and large interior very nice truck for the money.

2020 Chevrolet Blazer

Also, our Blazer went to the shop at 200 miles for a squeaking sound it developed in the cargo area, and then 50 miles later, it went back to the shop for a rear bumper developing a 2-inch gap.

The Highlander was hard to get in and out of and the road noise was terrible in this vehicle.

My only complaint is the interior rattling noise.

So far the main complaint that I have is the rattle noises inside the cabin on less than smooth pavement and this is after only 3500 miles of driving!

This is one of the first vehicles that the sound of the person on the other end of the phone is super crisp, loud, and clear, and they say I come through the same way with very little road noise.

I also noticed how loud the noise retention while using  Bluetooth speaker.

And for me an important point, no squeaks and rattles while driving.

small-size

Brought the LT1 with 2.5L plenty of pep fuel mileage good, Only thing is Air conditioning controls hard to see when driving to many small designs has auto stop

Hard, small, immovable, and torture devices.

The Subaru's were judged to be too small and hard to get in and out of.

paint

The paint is cheap, after a second wash the car was full of swirl marks that showed up pretty bad on the black vehicle.

The paint on the Chevy Blazer is terrible.

Steering wheel is like a speed race car no matter how you adjust its to low.

The features are enough for a 31 year old like me which include a 8 inch touchscreen, backup camera, auto-dimming mirror, heated seats and steering wheel, push start engine, you name it!

heated seats and steering wheel, seats that hug you and all you need at your fingertips.

It is very quiet at highway speeds, absorbs the road with a very smooth feel.

The top speed of this vehicle is LIMITED by GM to 130 MPH and it gets there rather quickly!

v-6 has loads of power and very smooth 9 speed trans.

Also the seats are far more comfortable and supportive of my back!

Sound system is great, interior is comfortable and great looking.

So comfortable, on first long trip, drove 18 hrs Chicago to Austin and felt great.

The interior is so comfortable .There are many features that make this car a winner.

This car is the most confortable car i have ever tried.It has a lot of features,lots of technology.Gas mileage is perfect and has plenty of legroom.

It is a comfortable ride, looks sharp, and the technology is amazing.

Has all the safety features, comfortable, roomy, good power and mileage.

Its loaded with options and runs and drives so smooth.

It has all the features that i wanted and is such a smooth ride.

The Interior is pretty dated, not many features unless you are buying an RS.

but once i test drove the blazer i immediately knew my choice, very powerful for an suv and nice handling, yeah its no trackhawk but for the money its a very good option.

Great feel for the road, and with all the little features and details, for this dad I’d say it’s the most fun yet family-friendly SUV out!

Great car great price just what we were looking for the color my wife wanted and all of the features she wanted she was as very happy

Performance is better than expected and the ride is exceptional.

The ride is surprisingly pleasant for a sport tuned suspension, Chevy did a great job of bringing a nice non jarring ride quality - with still definitely delivering in the cornering&#47;handling game.

Quiet ride even with 20inch tires, and my wife and 5 year old ride comfortably.

2020 Porsche 911

Steering, handling and acceleration are perfect.

Steering feedback is excellent, you can feel when your approaching the limits of adhesion.

Punch the accelerator and expect to get thrown back in  your seat as the car quickly approaches breathtaking speeds.

My first 911 convertible and what a joy, very comfortable with top down even at highway speeds with wind blocker.

Lane changes at highway speeds and above are telepathic, no body lean, no upset to the chassis, just rock solid performance.

I regularly drive past my house just for fun, after grocery shopping for instance.

It’s such a fun car to drive that it makes going for a cup of coffee in the morning a nice experience.

The car is fun to drive and has excellent build quality.

911 C2 Carrera S is everything and more than I could have wanted, The car is so enjoyable to drive that I often find myself smiling or laughing at how incredible and usable the performance is.

turn-handling

The car handles phenomenally on turns, and has great acceleration from 0-60.

The performance and handling are exquisite.
