How do you guys find the static bending lights? Is it any good? I know its a 2nd rate system compared to the active bending lights.

Also, how do you find the interior mood lights?
*
I find the bending light ok woh, very sensitive and helpful. It even dims slowly after you straighten your wheels.

Mood lights are a little too dim. But i don't dare to disturb them as they are a part of the electronic systems.

I've got two noisy parts in my car, the rattling sunroof and driver seat near the seat adjustors. The seat always emit "ngyek ngyek" noise when i move my butt around. I had to stuff a piece of paper between the leather and the plastic trim to eliminate the noise.

If u go by working days, its about 7 days but by calender is slightly more than a week. The following are the start dates and working days duration for certain KL number plates:

WWJ - 10 Feb (8 days)
WWK - 22 Feb (5 days)
WWL - 29 Feb (10 days)
WWM - 14 March (6 days)
WWN - 22 March (6 days)
WWP - 30 March (9 days)
WWQ - 12 April (ongoing)

Im quite sure WWR may not be this week or else ill end up with WWS.  cry.gif

Your fav number has been taken for wws. I would suggest tt you to put in a tender. Now shuld be wwu or wwv. Or wait for wwt running number which may be taken oso. Results of wwt will b on the same day they release the next alphabet, in this case wwr. It may delay a day or two but wont run far. The number scene has been quite crazy lately n the tender value over inflated.

Do drop by the jpj wangsa maju n hav a first hand look at the current results to gauge on how much to go in. Currents results on the board is wwq, wwr n wws.

hi sifu-sifu skalian that oredi owned or study K5,

just want to check one issue here --> would the warranty affected if we were to change the stock wheel/rim to others which has exactly the same profile? Anyone seek confirmation with Naza on this matter?

If change profile pulak apamacam? I saw the photo of one of the K5 on the TT session oredi changed. Can the taiko owner there drop in some valuable input? Or Irangan and K5White mind to update?

tima kasih manyak manyak!

Hi there,

I just booked an Optima as well and am deciding between BS and LG but need to see the LG in the flesh firt to be able to decide. I booked mine from a dealer but was not given any discounts as some other members here received. I understand that the discount is only for 'test drive' cars and year 2011 models but has anyone received any form of discounts, even if its a few hundred bucks for their 2012 model?

I actually wanted to register the car in May but my SA informed me that if i register it this month, his delearship will throw in free Vkool tinting, do you guys think this is a good deal? I feel i am not getting a 'good' deal. Though i have yet to discuss with him about giving a free full tank or smarttag.

Thanks for the input guys.
*
Either he try to scare you or try to earn more because most of K5 user got a good deal in term of cash rebate. To me, nothing beats cash rebate because I want to choose what to install in my car especially tinting. Visit several different "DEALERS" or pm those Kia seller in the forum for the best deal. No point asking those work directly under branch. Pointless.

Confirmed wont void warranty if you just change rim and tyre.

QUOTE(megadisc @ Apr 16 2012, 05:10 PM)
anyone had the idea of adding remote start ?

100% void warranty. Not worth the risk. Btw, our car dont need to "pre heat" like Ferrari before driving la. Haha.

As ive mentioned many times please stop using currency when discussing fuel consumption. Stick to L/100km.

I heard the tender price for WWR9889 was almost RM 2K. Anyway, im not paying anything more than 500 for a number plate. Ive put in a booking for another number so lets see what happens.

mind to share how many KM and fuel? With ECO On or Off?

initially i can go up to 680km with rm120 fuel mix city and highway with ECO OFF, but now getting around 620km or less with ECO ON.

some observation, while climbing up genting the engine roars quite loudly. i feel the car a bit too heavy and there is some difficulty in terms of the power/torque. i am using manual mode to go up.

anyone can share their experience?

perhaps this might be a silly question but i would like to ask, those having problems or in a dilemma to determine or buy the test drive cars, wont you directly know if it is a test drive car if the plastic covers are all still on? I don't think the pertaining dealer would reseal the seats of a test drive car or drive with the plastics on?

Also, I clarified this issue with the direct kia dealer and he confirmed that it is against their policy to sell test driven cars. The one i tested in Jb had a kl plate and it is only for test driving purposes.

full city driving on 19 cents/km (i presume, rather than 0.19cent) is quite good...
i managed to get mine to 19cent/km on 75city, 25hway or 10.3ltr/100km with eco OFF, and 10% hard pressing, 90%gentle ride

Actually this overinflation is madness. Next year they are going to allow custom plates, maybe that would be better instead of everybody trying to bid for certain special digits or alphabets.

I've seen cars in Oz with plates like "AAARGGH" or "YEEHAAH" along those lines. Damn fun!

It would be nice to get "AZZKIKR" like the car in the movie Con Air.

Nowadays, very hard to get even normal numbers. Many yrs ago I paid over the JPJ counter RM300 for "6693". Recently I tried to get it again but already tendered.

These days the running numbers are all those cilaka numbers left behind by the frickin syndicates like 114, 1769, 1453 and other crappy digits lol.
