LETTERS Resident asks voters to support Schmid

ongressman Chris Smith is running to keep his seat in District 4 against Stephanie Schmid. Congressman Smith’s signs claim he is “a leader we can trust.” Congressman Smith’s versions of “leadership” and “trust” leave much to be desired. Would a leader spend his career denying women the right to control their own bodies and denying civil rights to LGBT citizens? Should we trust someone who lied about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by saying it would ruin Medicaid, Medicare and the economy? Would a leader remain silent while his party almost removed healthcare from 20 million Americans, and is still trying to do this with a case pending in front of the Supreme Court? Would a leader vote against expanding the ACA in the middle of a pandemic? Should we trust someone who voted against the Heroes Act, which included extra unemployment beneﬁts and state aid New Jersey desperately needs? Would a leader stay silent while Presi-

dent Donald Trump lied about the seriousness of COVID-19 and claimed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration were part of a “deep state” conspiracy to hurt him electorally? And how does one lead when they hide from constituents and refuse to hold a town hall for 27 years? Stephanie Schmid has pledged to hold 39 town halls in her ﬁrst term, has challenged Congressman Smith to three public debates and will be a true leader, both accessible and accountable to her constituents. She supports legislation that provides a healthcare safety net while leaving employer-based insurance for those who want it. Stephanie will ﬁght for the aid New Jersey needs, working to bring back federal dollars to our community. As an attorney, Stephanie has fought for women’s and LGBT rights, and she won’t accept a president lying about a deadly disease. That’s leadership you can trust. Fran Freedman Manalapan

Smith earns endorsement from ‘Jersey Girls’

s Sept. 11 widows known as “The Jersey Girls,” we have spent 19 years ﬁghting for truth, justice, transparency and accountability with regard to the murder of our husbands. In December 2001, we found ourselves in Congressman Chris Smith’s ofﬁce. As our meeting with him progressed, we knew we had come to the right place. Congressman Smith (R-NJ) gave us a road map for how to navigate Congress to accomplish our goals. He also held our hands and walked us through … every step of the way. For 19 years he has been our guide and mentor, helping us decipher the maze of Washington, D.C. He has supported us and our issues – even when it cost him politically and personally for going against party lines. Congressman Smith actually does what

all our elected ofﬁcials should do – help the people you are sent to Washington, D.C., to represent and make the world a better place. He is truly one of the good guys in Washington, D.C. We have personally witnessed Chris Smith’s commitment to his constituents and his tireless efforts on human rights issues. His work has made the world a more humane place. We cannot think of a better person to represent New Jersey’s 4th District in Congress. We are truly lucky to have him.

New tax will address income inequality

resident John F. Kennedy said that “If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.” In keeping with JFK’s principle, Gov. Phil Murphy has provided New Jersey with a millionaires tax. The new tax will also attack the scourge

of income inequality by providing relief to middle and lower income families. Kudos also to the Democratic legislative leadership for supporting this needed reform in the age of COVID.

Lake commission will use grant to help protect natural resource By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

he Lake Topanemus Park Commission has been awarded a $96,000 grant from the state to design a plan to maintain and protect Lake Topanemus. Lake Topanemus, between Pond and Robertsville roads, is in Freehold Township, but owned by Freehold Borough. According to the Freehold Township municipal website, Lake Topanemus Park is a 71-acre site that offers opportunities

for ﬁshing, jogging, bicycling, boating, picnics, walking and bird watching. The care of the park is overseen by the Lake Topanemus Park Commission. Roger Kane, a former mayor of Freehold Borough, chairs the commission. Robert Higley is the vice chairman. The other commissioners are Edward Daley, Dr. C. Gregory Jewell, Christopher Kean, Jim Lau, Joseph Luongo and Joseph Reilly. In a press release, the New Jersey De-

partment of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced that the Lake Topanemus Park Commission would receive a non-point source pollution grant in the amount of $96,000. The lake has been afﬂicted by weeds and algae during the summer months. As stated in the press release, water quality issues including eutrophication (excessive richness of nutrients), elevated nitrogen and phosphorous levels, sediment accumulation and dense aquatic plant growth have

been documented in Lake Topanemus. Kane said the grant would be used to hire a company that will be charged with developing a lake protection and watershed management plan. It is expected that Princeton Hydro will be retained to complete the project. Kane said a formal plan is needed to help improve the lake and said the plan will guide lake management activities to be undertaken by the commission. Kane described the overall goal of the grant as being the restoration of Lake Topanemus. As stated in the DEP press release, the Lake Topanemus Park Commission is seeking to update the existing lake characterization study which is almost 40 years old. The commission is also looking to identify the steps necessary for future restoration and management. Kane said the commission’s effort to receive the DEP grant has been a lengthy undertaking, with the commissioners beginning their pursuit of the grant three years ago.

New officers join force

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – Six men have joined the ranks of the Freehold Township Police Department. During a recent Township Committee meeting, the oath of office was administered to police officers Alex Earhart, Jake McTighe, Thomas Monahan, Zachery Pittius, Louis Toscani and Tyler Whelan. The appointment of the new patrol officers follows the continuing retirement of veteran officers from the police force. The retirements from the police department began in earnest in 2014 when officers who had joined the force between 25 and 30 years earlier began to leave. At that time, municipal officials said they were beginning to plan and budget for the hiring of new recruits. Police Chief George Baumann said one officer has already retired in 2020 and three more officers are scheduled to retire by the end of the year. Municipal officials declined to name the officer who has already retired or the three officers who are planning to retire by the end of the year. According to the 2020 municipal budget, Freehold Township is budgeted for 76 police officers, including superior officers (sergeants, lieutenants, captains, chief). The officers’ salaries and wages account for about $12.9 million (30.5%) of the $42.7 million budget.

How To with John Wilson By Rick Gables

ocumentary filmmaker and selfdescribed “anxious New Yorker” John Wilson makes his HBO debut as writer, director, cameraman, producer, and narrator of the all-new six-episode docu-comedy series How To with John Wilson, debuting Friday, Oct. 23, at 11 p.m. ET/PT. In a uniquely hilarious odyssey of self-discovery and cultural observation, Wilson covertly and obsessively films the lives of his fellow New Yorkers while attempting to give everyday advice on relatable topics. The awkward contradictions of modern life are eased by Wilson’s candid, unpolished commentary, with season one’s episodes offering up his distinct take on a range of deceivingly simple topics. Building upon Wilson’s previously released “how to” short films, the episodes take wildly unexpected turns but are grounded in

John’s refreshing honesty. The Age of Nature, a threepart documentary series, premieres Wednesdays, Oct. 14 – 28, at 10 p.m. ET on PBS (check your local listings). The series explores how an increased awareness of the natural world is leading to a new chapter in the story of both humanity and the planet. With stunning photography, the series focuses on the resiliency of Earth’s ecosystems through stories of success, as scientists, citizens, and governments act to ﬁx past mistakes and restore the environment. With the current pandemic exposing the fragility and vulnerability of humankind, the balance of nature and our relationship with it is more important than ever. Narrated by Uma Thurman and ﬁlmed on seven continents, the series presents creative ideas from around the globe for dealing with such pressing issues as climate change, animal extinction and

environmental degradation. SHOWTIME will premiere its documentary Kingdom of Silence on Friday, Oct. 2, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The ﬁlm explores the complicated dynamic between the United States and Saudi Arabia as a backdrop to the 2018 murder of Washington Post journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi. The documentary explores the history between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia

rookdale Community College has announced that Destiny Jarvis of Freehold has been selected to receive the Benjamin J. Gilman Scholarship to study abroad. “I am still kind of in shock about winning the scholarship. It doesn’t feel real. Without receiving the Gilman, I don’t know how else I would have been able to study abroad. It’s like a dream,” Jarvis was quoted as saying in a press release from the college. The Congressional funded Gilman program broadens the U.S. student population studying and interning abroad by providing scholarships to outstanding undergraduate Pell Grant recipients of limited ﬁnancial means at a two-year or four-year college or university, according to the press release. Since the program’s establishment in 2001, more than 1,300 U.S. institutions have sent more than 31,000 Gilman scholars to 151 countries worldwide, providing new opportunities for students while gaining skills critical to the nation’s security and economic competitiveness, according to the press release. After graduating in December from Brookdale with an associate degree in journalism, Jarvis will continue her education at Rutgers University to gain her bachelor’s degree. She will complete her study abroad program in the summer of 2021, studying tropical ecology in Heredia, Costa Rica. Jarvis said she chose to take a course in environmental studies so she could combine her love of science and journalism, according to the press release. Jarvis will be able to continue her studies at Rutgers on Brookdale’s Lincroft campus through the Brookdale-Rutgers

Breen sweeps two stakes races to wrap up Monmouth training title ing schedule for the month will switch to the next three Wednesdays and Saturdays through Oct. 24. There will also be a holiday card on Oct. 12. The Meadowlands at Monmouth Park meet will feature a stakes race every live racing day, highlighted by the Grade 2 Monmouth Stakes at nine furlongs on the turf on Oct. 10, according to the press release. Breen, who put the ﬁnishing touches on his title-winning season with a three-victory afternoon, saw promising 2-year-old Pickin’ Time surge late for a nose victory over Dalton in the $75,000 Smoke Glacken Stakes. That was followed by a half-length score in gate-to-wire fashion by Like What I See in the $75,000 Joey P. Handicap at ﬁve furlongs on the grass.

Watching Kasha V win has become a Friday tradition at Freehold Raceway. He continued his dominant streak on Sept. 25, completing a sweep of the New Jersey Sire Stakes – Standardbred Development Fund final for 3-year-old trotting colts and geldings. Austin Siegelman was aggressive with his drive, putting Kasha V on the lead just after the quarter, according to a press release. He controlled the pace most of the way and was clear at the top of the stretch. However, he had to hold off the surge of second choice Kyrie Deo, who was flying for Corey Callahan. Fortunately for Kasha V, the wire came just in time and he held on to win by a head as the 7/5 favorite. The final time was 1:58 for the mile. That was the fourth win in a row for this gelding, who won all three legs of the NJSS-SDF series, plus the Garden State Trot. Of his $78,000 in lifetime earnings, $60,500 have come in those four races. Kasha V is owned by Theologos Moutafis and trained by Tom Corelli.

Breen finished with 32 victories during the 36-day meet. That easily outdistanced runner-up Jose H. Delgado, who had 17 wins. “It means a lot,” said Breen. “To think back to when I last won the title 14 years ago to today, I lost both of my parents over that time and today would have been my mom’s birthday. So it’s special. I felt like I had a little angel on my shoulder this meet. “This is a prestigious meet. Monmouth Park is a high-end track and to be the leading trainer at a top tier track is a significant accomplishment. It means a lot to me, to my barn and to my assistants. We work hard for things like this.” Lopez, who won his first Monmouth Park riding title in 2010, has been the track’s dominant jockey for the past decade in terms of wins. He finished with 51

He was also the track’s leading trainer in 2005 and 2006, according to a press release. Paco Lopez was the leading rider for the seventh time, with Klaravich Stables ﬁnishing as the leading owner.

efforts to help veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. “Soldier On, thanks to Jack Downing and Bruce Buckley, has created world class home ownership opportunities coupled with vital services for homeless veterans, and the impact has been enormous and lifechanging,” Smith said. “For the first time in years, even decades, many veterans will finally have a decent place to live and hope and prosper.” “I am especially grateful to Freeholder Lillian Burry for her extraordinary dream of creating a Monmouth County homeless veterans housing initiative, and for her tenacity and skill in making it happen,” Smith said. “For nearly a decade, Lillian has been the quarterback in the push to meet the compelling housing and service needs of homeless veterans and there have been many setbacks along the way, including an inability to secure space at Fort Monmouth,” the congressman said. “I have been proud to do my part in finding a Monmouth County home for Soldier On and I promise you I will continue to be an active supporter as it moves from design through construction to the day it opens its doors and welcomes its very first veteran home,” Burry said.

“According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, in 2001 there were 294,840 homeless veterans on any given night,” said Smith, whose 2001 law for homeless veterans ﬁrst authorized funding for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Veteran Affairs Supported Housing program. “Almost 20 years later, that number has dropped to 37,085. Progress, but still far too many,” the congressman said. Among its many provisions, Smith’s law authorized, for the ﬁrst time, a program which will be tapped as a major source of future rental assistance funding for veterans who will be living at the housing complex, according to the press release. Smith helped Solider On come to New Jersey in 2011, assisting the Massachusetts-based organization to obtain a $1 million grant in 2012 to help veterans in his district in Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington counties, plus Middlesex and parts of Mercer, according to the press release. That work later expanded to serve nine counties, adding all of Mercer, Somerset, Bergen, Hudson and Essex. Today Soldier On also manages similar veterans housing operations in New York and Massachusetts, providing 177 homes, with another 152 in various stages of development, according to the press release.

Following the live lesson session, the students will have assigned tasks such as independent reading and the use of online tools. On Wednesday, the students will have assigned tasks only and no live sessions, according to district administrators. Elementary school students who, by their parents’ choice, are receiving 100% remote instruction, will have three hours of posted content followed by one hour of live instruction per day, 30 minutes for math and 30 minutes for English/language arts, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday will be used for a fully virtual live learning session. These elementary school sessions will be accompanied by scheduled breaks, according to district administrators. Students at the two middle schools will continue to be taught in the same AA/BB cohorts and remote cohort they are currently taught in with hybrid learning on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and Wednesday being reserved for a full remote day for all students. District administrators will permit the students’ parents and guardians to switch the type of instructional program in which their children are enrolled before the second marking period begins. “The world we are living in right now is not one I see changing in the near future. We look around at the world we live in and it’s different. “Who would have thought we would have wipes, 4,000 gallons of hand sanitizer, sneeze guards and all of these items in schools, along with the issues schools are navigating right now? “We are not alone in having any form of an issue and we are doing the best we can to navigate these issues,” Hibbs said.

district’s technology. Hibbs said there were two primary issues with technology at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year. The first issue was that with many students receiving remote instruction because schools have not reopened at 100% capacity, the district’s firewall could not handle so many active log-in connections, causing lag to video and Google Doc accessibility, according to the superintendent. The second issue was that the district’s 500 staff Chromebook laptop computers were not functional because of a chip error in the devices. The Chromebooks will be replaced at no cost to the district, Hibbs said. In response to the technology issues, district administrators placed students at the two middle schools on 100% remote learning, which meant they would not receive live lessons over Zoom. “I did not want to put anyone into remote,” Hibbs said. “This is not something we thought we would have to do at all. At the moment, we went with middle school students because they are older and it is easier to have them work remotely than it is to have kindergartners work remotely.” Other issues that occurred with the technology were bandwidth issues, sound issues, WiFi issues, issues with parent emails during lessons due to connectivity, staff members using their own devices and attendees being removed from meetings. Hibbs said all of the issues were primarily occurring at the two middle schools and he said they were expected to be corrected within a week of the board meeting. The superintendent moved on to a discussion of phase two of the district’s reopening plan. Phase one provided limited school openings during the first few weeks of the academic year.

The Marlboro Farmers Market, which was initially scheduled as a summer market, will be extended through October. The market, at 444 Route 520, just west of Route 79, Marlboro, will continue to operate every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. until Oct. 25, according to a press release from the township. Mayor Jonathan Hornik said, “The market has become a weekly destination for residents and those in surrounding towns. People want local, fresh food and produce, and especially during this time, the outdoor experience, the variety and quality has really resonated with our residents. “The decision to extend the season was based not only on the market’s popularity, but also on the unique situation presented by COVID-19. The market offers an outdoor shopping environment and people feel safe enjoying it with their families. It feels normal during abnormal times,” he said. Information about the farmers, vendors and products can be found on the Marlboro Township website and the Facebook group Marlboro Farmers Market. The market is open rain or shine.

Remediation of spoiled land will fulfill a dream for Liberty State Park and cover with a soil cap. The area would then be restored to a mosaic of habitats — grasslands, woodlands, freshwater wetlands and a salt marsh. Unfortunately, most of the vegetation that’s there now will be lost. But the public’s safety comes first and we are supportive of the remediation. The area is going to get so much use, we want people to feel safe going there and not have to worry about their children touching the dirt. Trails will connect the Liberty Science Center with the park’s Nature Center for the first time. Sam: This will be an international model for turning brownfields into a really special, exciting and extraordinary natural wonderland for enjoyment, education and ecotourism – and, of course, for wildlife. Q: Is using state Natural Resource Damage funds the best way to make sure this restoration project becomes a reality? Greg: This is really a once in a lifetime funding opportunity. The project will cost tens of millions of dollars, which will come from the Exxon natural resource damage settlement. These are not taxpayer dollars – this is truly a “polluter pays” project. It offsets the damages to natural resources that occurred. Q: What can the public do to learn more about and support this restoration? Greg: The DEP will be holding a virtual public information meeting this fall and after that there will be a public comment period. The public can help out by attending the public information meeting and then writing in support of the project. Anyone who wants more information can see the state’s press release at https:// www.nj.gov/dep/newsrel/2020/20_0037. htm or read more on the website https:// nj.gov/dep/nrr/restoration/liberty-statepark.html Deep thanks and appreciation to Sam and Greg for their long-term commitment to ensuring that Liberty State Park is truly a people’s park, and for their diligence in evaluating and responding to the multitude of proposals for park property over the years. Never doubt the power of dedicated individuals to make a huge difference. Thanks also to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for its commitment to using Natural Resource Damage funds to fulfill the vision of this public open space gem in the midst of New

Jersey’s most densely populated region. As the pandemic has shown, open space and access to nature are critically important to public health and well-being. With people relying on parks more than ever for outdoor recreation and spiritual nourishment, this project will make more

of Liberty State Park available for the public to enjoy. Be sure to get out this fall and enjoy the beauty of Liberty State Park. In addition to the amazing views from the waterfront, there is the Richard Sullivan Natural Area, a 36-acre salt marsh named in honor of

Freeholders provide COVID-19, election and CARES Act funding updates

he Monmouth County Board of Freeholders provided updates about COVID-19, the Nov. 3 general election and CARES Act funding during a press conference held on Sept. 24. “I know there has been a lot of talk about the recent uptick in COVID cases in Monmouth County and I would like to shed some light on these cases and the reasons they are occurring,” Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said in a press release provided by the county. “The Monmouth County Health Department’s (MCHD) case investigations have determined the bulk of exposures are from youth athletic facilities, school sports practices and gatherings that occurred during Labor Day weekend and almost half of the new cases are young adults between the ages of 16 and 25. “It is also important to note the MCHD has conducted a thorough review of all the COVID-19 cases in the 29 towns they serve and no cases have been linked to restaurants or retail food establishments at this time,” Arnone said.

Freeholder Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley offered updates about the Monmouth County COVID-19 testing program at locations in Asbury Park, Freehold Borough, Keansburg, Long Branch, Neptune and Red Bank. “The county has administered 2,749 tests to date and 57 of those tests have come back positive,” Kiley said. “These low positivity percentages can be attributed to wearing masks, practicing social distancing and getting tested for the virus.” The testing site locations, dates and hours of operation are posted on the county’s website at www.visitmonmouth.com Arnone spoke about the upcoming general election and what the county is doing in preparation for Nov. 3. “I want you to know Monmouth County is doing everything in our power to make this process as efﬁcient, accessible and secure as possible,” Arnone said. “In an effort to assist with the counting of ballots from the nearly 500,000 registered votes in Monmouth County, we have purchased four additional ballot scanners and the

most robust and secure suite of integrated voting software solutions on the market, investing more than $230,000.” Dominion Voting Systems’ software will automatically and digitally route ballots for adjudication. This feature is a ﬁrst in the industry and eliminates the manual duplicating of ballots. This also protects the ballot chain of custody and limits the handling of voter marked ballots, according to the press release. “Monmouth County has also hired 60 individuals to assist the Board of Elections with opening the ballots and placing them in the scanners,” Arnone said. Arnone also provided an update about the distribution of grant dollars through the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant program and its use for the Monmouth County Vocational School District (MCVSD). “To date, we have received more than 2,200 applications and handled more than 3,400 phone calls regarding the program. We have approved more than $13.5 million in grant dollars, which goes directly

into the pockets of small business owners,” he said. “We still have nearly $6.5 million available, so please submit an application to www.MonmouthCountyCares.com. All you need is your tax return to get started.” The county has also allocated $308,000 of CARES Act funding to help the MCVSD enter into a contract with BAYADA, a home health care agency, to bring in school nurses into the vocational school district. “As of today, in speaking with the administration at the vocational school district, it is anticipated that schools will open on Oct. 5 with a hybrid in-person model,” Arnone said. “The district is working diligently to resolve any remaining stafﬁng concerns in order to open all schools and is currently accepting applications for possible vacancies throughout the district in a variety of subjects.” All positions and instructions about how to apply are posted at www.MCVSD. org or www.njschoolsjobs.com. Individuals with 60 college credits required for substitute teachers are encouraged to apply, according to the press release.

Monmouth County officials announce mail-in ballot drop box locations The Monmouth County Board of Freeholders has announced mail-in ballot drop box locations for the Nov. 3 general election. The election is topped by the race for

president between Republican Donald J. Trump and Democrat Joseph Biden. There are also races for federal offices, county offices, municipal offices and school boards, and public questions.

All registered voters will receive a mail-in ballot for the Nov. 3 election. A sample ballot will be available online at monmouthcountyvotes.com, according to the press release.

NEWS TRANSCRIPT 19

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Kia K5 EX

t’s September. Fall is upon us. Time for new beginnings, right? So, we here at On The Road have an all new car to review for you this week – our ﬁrst 2021 model, as well. South Korean auto maker Kia – a fast growing brand in the United States – has introduced an all new model – the 2021 Kia K5, a mid-sized rather upscale sedan that replaces its former Optima model. I recently had the pleasure of driving this vehicle Peter Perrotta for one week and came away with an overall positive impression, although there are some things I will nitpick. The K5 model I drove for the week was the EX model that carries a base sticker price of $27,990. My tester added a $3,400 premium package and $995 for destination and delivery, bringing the grand total sticker price to $32,365. Included in the premium package is: navigation with a 10.25 inch screen; Bose premium sound system; power seats; heated steering wheel; and a lot of advanced safety equipment. The overall outside look of this newly designed vehicle is a winner. This sedan has an aggressive and sporty sculpted stance that is capable of turning heads. “Gorgeous, outside and in,” is what the editors at Car and Driver boasted about the new K5. I would have to agree. Powering the new K5 is a 1.6 liter turbo charged 4 cylinder engine that is coupled with a smooth shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine produces an impressive 180 horsepower and 195 pound feet of torque. The K5 drives like a more expensive sleek European luxury car, without carrying the high price tag. It’s athletic-able to complete lane changes and passing maneuvers without a hitch. It has enough power to cruise nicely at the higher speeds on the interstate. In fact, this mid-sized sedan sometimes is going a lot faster than the driver – namely me – realizes at times. Witness the one afternoon when I was hurrying back from lunch and got pulled over for doing 53 in a 35 mph speed zone.

2021 K5 EX 1.6T FWD

When I explained to the officer that I write car reviews, he let me go with just a warning. The interior of the K5 is well appointed with a lot of upscale and ergonomically friendly buttons and switches and a fairly responsive touch screen command system. However, I found the navigation system a bit troublesome. When you attempt to enter a destination address manually, it is very frustrating. There are very few addresses this navigation system seemed to be able to find easily. The best way around this glitch was for me to enter the general zip code of the destination I was headed to, rather than the exact address. Once I did that, I then was able to enter the exact address as a midway point along the route and the system was then able to find it. This is way too cumbersome and time consuming. It probably can be corrected with a simple software upgrade. This Kia K5 is pretty miserly when it comes to drinking gas, too. It has an EPA fuel consumption rating of 31 miles per gallon overall – 27 in city driving and 37 on the highway. The EPA estimates that the K5 will cost about on average $1,300 a year for gas as it uses about 3.2 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. This 2021 K5 is too new and hasn’t been tested for the government’s 5 star

safety crash test yet. The new K5 comes with a lot of impressive standard equipment, including: an 8 inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Car play; rear view camera with dynamic guidelines; Sirius Satellite radio free for three months; leatherette seat trim; heated and ventilated front seats; and a whole lot more. As far as comfort and roominess go, the K5 passes the test. While it’s not an overly expansive mid-sized sedan it is designed well enough to get in and out of with ease even with its low stance to the ground. The front and rear leg room is sufficient and the rear seat is fairly roomy as well. The first 2021 EX comes in front wheel drive only. A four wheel drive version is to be added later this year. Moreover, later this year, Kia will offer a significantly sportier GT version of the

K5 featuring a more powerful engine, a panoramic sunroof and an added all wheel drive option. As is the case with all Kias, their standard warranty that comes with all of their models is one of the best available on the car market. The bumper to bumper limited warranty covers ﬁve years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes ﬁrst. The powertrain warranty covers 10 years or 100,000 miles. While the mid-sized sedan market is fastly shrinking – consumers are more and more going for the crossover and SUV models – if you are in the market for a midsized sedan at a reasonable price, the K5 is one to consider.
