I got for my primary driver a 2021 Kia Sportage AWD EX in silver to match my 2010 Ford Fusion SPORT. Silver has been a trend with cars since my Dad got his 96 Taurus LX. Cleans up nicely, sparkles amazingly once detailed and just looks sharp in general 👍
Great review. Why do auo makers use piano black?? Hate it ,shows fingerprints @ very reflective to the driver. What city was this taken in?? Very nice area. I live in western NY. Thank you.
Smaller wheels means a smother ride over uneven pavement and bumps in the road, plus less expensive tires when it’s time to replace them. Also, there a smaller risk of bending or scratch your rims on curbs. So all in all I would say 16-17 inches is best. 18” wheels and larger are excessive I think
Those rims are way too small and the side wall on the tire is way too thick, it makes the car look like it’s riding on balloons. Also not a fan of GDI only engines, expect carbon build up the wazoo when these have higher mileage. Fake exhaust is a zonk too.
Sorry you don’t like it’s big black balloons but there are a lot of positive aspects to 16-17 inch rims. Smoother ride. Better over bumps. Cheaper to replace. Protects the rims more from getting bent. I used to think bigger rims are better but it you drive a lot there is no reason for them except they look sportier if that’s something you believe in
Great review! I just got mines last week and love it!!
Nice review. I bought the GT LINE, with premium package. Passion red. Love it.
I need to review a GT Line.
@@NeighborhoodCarReviews Definitely!!
Nice review you had touches I don't usually see in car reviews but I really enjoyed that ex: tire view from different angles!! New subbie
Thank you so much!!
Great review.. Does this car have heated seats?
Not this trim

Thank you! I’m not sure why they use it. It looks good, but only for a bit. This was recorded in Bloomington, Indiana, not too far from IU campus.
@@NeighborhoodCarReviews Thanks 😊 🙏 👍
Hi Guy, I liked you review, it is realy full review... Good job. Your channel has future, if you put background music it would be COSMOS!!! AWSOME
Front reminds me of a dodge dart, can't unsee
Dont procreate please!
Not a bad thing
Gives me charger vibes
Front grill and lights
The back end is giving me Chevy Malibu vibes, but I still like Kia though
Does it have an auto day/night rear-view mirror?
The lxs Trim I have does not
@@KerfallaDWealthWisdom thanks. So how do you like the car??
This K5/ Optima did steal styling from Ford I believe so did most other automakers LOL.
Sorry do the 2019 Kia Optima LX
I don’t like the wheels. The GT and LX rims are way better.
Agreed.

Costs more, you get what you pay for as the saying goes. I bought the GT LINE. Well worth the extra 5 grand.
