The KIA dealers are selling them as crazy so there is no problem. Since the taxation on E85, petrol and diesel are vary a lot, there have been many discussions about mixing more E85 in the petrol, manually to reduce the cost. I know a lot of people that run's their petrol cars with additional 25-30% E85 in the summer. In the winter this is a bad idea since you will have trouble starting the car when it's below freezing. So the bottom line, in Sweden we have now choice than to buy the 5% E85 mixed petrol and if a car couldn't run on it it would not be sell able here. 5% E85 is nothing to worry about, it's when you mix in more that 20-30% you have to make sure that all components in the car really can handle the E85, gaskets and other rubber parts may not handle the ethanol so well.
