Positive Review
I have owned 2 dozen cars in the past 10 years and usually don't buy new because of depreciation. However, my mind has changed with this purchase! This is an incredible value and a very, very good car. It easily drives as well as top of the line BMW, Mercedes and Audis and looks like a cross between a Lexus and a German Sedan. Kia really nailed it! It is even more gorgeous inside, with real wood paneling (ala Bentley), high quality leather and a ton of features that even some of the Germans don't offer. Lastly, the 3.3L Twin Turbo Engine has tons of power and the car drives with excellent precision and handling. So why don't they sell and why the rebates? My guess is that the Stinger (an amazing car in it's own right) is too close a competitor and their sister company Genesis is taking all of the other potential buyers with their own excellent G80 and G90. Also, No one wants to pay $60k+ for a Kia! There is no Brand Cache and no one thinks you have money or power if you drive a Kia. Kia is a brand for those who are 'striving' to make it.. not for those who have 'made' it, the way that people perceive the German and Japanese luxury brands. Lastly, the Luxury sedan is a dying segment and the target for this market has moved into Luxury SUVs that are easier to get in an out of and provide a 'aura' of safety due to their high driving position. However if you can get past that silly mindset, compared to the $90k you would have to spend to get a Lexus or Mercedes of equivalent value, the K900 is a downright bargain. Now take the $10-$20k rebates Kia is offering and you are getting a Steal! Now for the cherry on top.. the car has a 100k mile warranty and runs on 87 pump gas. In conclusion, If you are in the market for a luxury Sedan and haven't considered the KIA, you need to give it a look.

Everything
Not the best city fuel economy
Other than poor city fuel economy there are so many reasons to love this car. Reliability, ride, handling, performance, lux features and bang for your buck are all exceptional! Bought a low mileage CPO for the price of a base Accord.
BMW tuned suspension. Comfortable interior, reg. g
Not shipped to US now, parts ?
Drove the A7, E350 and the LS 500. I can buy what I want, badging means nothing. A car is a tool. I require three things from a car. Those are comfort, reliability and low maintenance. This car checks all the boxes. What a value....
Luxury car 1/2 price. Love nobody else has one!
Paint job could have been better
This car is fantastic! I paid half the price as its equivalent in BMW, Mercedes and Audi. This car has every thing in it you could wish for. KIA had this great new luxury vehicle that didn’t sell so discontinued it. Less than 400 in the whole country I believe so you never see another one anywhere. Interior is gorgeous and ride extremely smooth. I plan on never selling the K900 as i consider it a collectors car.
Low end torque & acceleration. Smooth, quite ride
seats adjust but narrow like most everything now
Great low end touque. Its my second K900. Miss the V8 a little, but have to say the throttle response is much better now. Interior very nice, not S class but nice. If your ego can get past the lack of a badge it is a no brainer. I have owned them all BWM 7 series, Porche, and Mercedes. This car is not quite there, but close enough for the vast majority including myself. In other words if I blind fold you and you didnt see the badge, it would be hard for most anyone to tell the difference. Also, have less worry that if something tears up that it will cost a fortune.
Comfort and Quality
none
This is a follow up to my previous review last year. As I approach 15,000 miles I continue to be impressed. This car delivers comfort and performance. My highway mpg exceeds 25 on all highway trips. I usually get 27 to 28 mpg while maintaining 70+ mph. So, I don't understand the 25 MPG EPA rating. My passengers notice the quality detail inside and out including the detail in the trunk to backseat controls and the awesome 17 speaker sound system. Lastly, as I pulled into a restaurant this summer one of the patrons asked me if I was driving a Lexus... not bad company for a KIA.
Amazing Value, High Quality, Strong Performer,
KIA makes a $60k car? Brand Cache

Comfortable and fun to drive
Window op ends shortly after turning off ignit.
I've had two Genesis G80s before, and this car makes them look mediocre. While they were great cars, the K900 fit, finish, and ride outshines them. All details have been attended to with tactile finish and quality materials. The ride and seating are outstanding. I am more than pleased with this vehicle.
power, comfort, feature content
front end styling a bit dull
Leased a brand new 2019 Kia K900, got a great deal for end of year, This car is classy, powerful and a comfortable cruiser, all options, quality of materials are top notch, definealty be buying this at lease end.
