That's what I ended up doing. Was set on the k5 and then heard about the stinger. Basically the same price but a much more fun drive and has a hatch. Fuel economy isn't as nice of course, so the k5 is probably the better choice for someone with a very long commute.

I just purchased this car in the color wolf grey. I went from a 2012 hybrid Escalade so it’s a big change. I have some big financial goals and unfortunately my hybrid system in my suv failed beyond repair. I decided on this. I was so surprised to find a Kia that I actually liked! This is going to be a great car for me for the next couple of years. I get so many compliments on it! Especially on the color.
Driving a Optima Sportswagon 1.7 CRDi GT-Line here, I can already see that this car is actually an improvement over the older Optimas. Loving the looks of it. Gonna take my hats off to Kia for creating great semi-luxury like cars for cheaper price. I totally would buy one but sadly the K5 is not coming to Europe. So far, it's a solid review. Keep it going, boys!
@@StarWars1611 The K5 Sportswagon design already exists, you just need to find it on Google, etc. The funny thing is just that its still a monopoly if Europe gets the Sportswagon version or not, even though it was made specifically made for them.
Booked the Wolf Gray GT line in Toronto. It’s was between this and Mazda 3 sport turbo. First went to test drive the Mazda and that car felt small and claustrophobic. I had so much love for that car but duh !!! Went to Kia next - boy oh boy doesn’t the car feel nice. Test drove the EX and it felt just perfect. Delivery is on Diwali - so excited.
