hahaha..i like this quote...hahaa..
we must understand, what we are paying actually suppose to get a underpower 2.0L car with fabric seat, nothing much else, but got comfort and brand name (T or H) and just maybe, good after sales service and re-sale value

got my audio system fixed lioaw..rupanya, the "load" button on the top got stucked at the panel...as thou being pressed continuously..

it is NOT the audio system fault...actually, the in-built player's "LOAD" button got pressed/stucked under the console panel...thats why the system abit confused and hang
took it to Kia Glenmarie, they took out the console panel, sandpaper off little more clearance for the LOAD button, and fix it back..and okie lioaw in 1 hr or so...bluetooth no problemo at all after that..pair easily with my android gbread S2...

while u are stationary (no need P, N oso can)adjust ur seat to the desire position.
Press "SET", then press 1 or 2.
U will hear 2 beeps and the setting is done.
U dont have to hold the button 1 or 2.
Just press and release immediately.
To recall the setting position stored in 1 or 2, your car oso must be in stationary.

U got fed up coz the prob is the car have to be in stationary, same as setting the oil change menu. Have to be in stationary for safety reason.

Blue colour is nice, so is black, and red as well...maybe those stocks are hot cakes, so they bring to m'sia those unwanted colours?

cybermaster88 question 3
i noticed that the car radiator fan has good flow direction or it is designed to be directed towards the side rear..reason i saying so is that, u can try opening the engine boot and u can find that there is no heat or hot air blowing out upwards...

so, is not abnormal that u feel hot air if u standing at the siderear of the car

the number plates has nothing to do with the price already..few years back, the dealer had to do the ownership transfer at the respective state, hence the extra cost...but now, any plates at any states oso can lioaw..so no difference...
the reason other states can take higher coz it is very simple...supply n demand ..
other states where the income of ppl there are generally lower than in the main city or KL in this case. And u can see actually there are demand there for used cars, but very few population or cars means less ppl trade in there. So they need to get stocks from outside. Again, this work as supply and demand lor..Naza can give bigger rebates, if demand is low, but stock is aplenty...same rite?

i sold my last proton (will never get one again) at a price 3k higher to a dealer from ipoh..

dont be surprise that actually engine get more hot leaving it idling, not moving...compare to moving at average speed..coz of air blowing the radiator cooling effect is much more than the radiator fan itself...

Actually, it is possible. A company can request for tax exemption or special rebate for imports for purposes that can be manipulated. For this instance, the SA say for showroom units, but in actual, it could be for Naza R&D/CKD project or many others which im sure the tax lawyer at Naza can find loopholes. I been in such situation in my previous company, but not in importing cars. In machinery that in tax alone cost 5 figures at least. How true this K5 case, i cannot comment further, just sharing my point, that it is possible.

u be the unique wan lor...change the rims and post pics here...heheehe

clarify wat u mean by taillight all working?

u mean, the tail light lighted continuously to the boot lid strip?

hahaha...

i think best is u spend some time reading this thread, and if got more time, google and read from overseas forums...and then, after that, if got more time, test drive them all...thats the best way to help u decide...
i find reading comments from direct owners in forums are really helping me to decide...even better than reviews by so called experts, coz they might be biased or 'bought over'


but then of course if u r lazy and got plenty of money to spend, just flip coins

Added on March 22, 2012, 10:49 amwas trying to feel the sharp edge at the rear of the steering at eco button...but cant find the sharp edge that cut our friend's butter finger here...hehehee....nope, dont have !!

hahahaa...just kidding...

passat is IN D-segment...although some might feel doubt abt it, try sitting in the car, and yeah..bigger than accord for the interior space

Added on March 22, 2012, 11:36 amwell, test drive at least can really finalize ur decision...the feel of the car, the size of the car, the driving pleasure..coz some experience or situation cant be explained by words, very subjective..

for me, at first im skeptic abt korean car...seeing many of my friends stucked with old sonata, kia sephia...i was reluctant at first...but reading and seeing many ppl expecially from other countries really help, coz the car was launched close to 2 years over there, and u can see if there is any reliability problems or watever problems...

i can remember one quote from the forum...he is replying to a review by an expert in car testing, saying the car seat cushion is too thin for long ride comfort... his reply was, "his whole review of finding faults of the car conclude ONLY that" which is the car seat cushioning onli...

well, of course over time, i find some owners have complains as well, but whose are minor or not really deterring me from selecting this car

it got looks, more power than others in its range, leg room front n rear(overall space), specs(long list), and cheapest (2nd to sonata low spec), resale value no one knows for sure..
took my dad-in-law for a spin..he owns the latest E250...and i can see he is surprise at the car overall..some things in K5 not even present in E250

This post has been edited by K5WHITE: Mar 22 2012, 11:38 AM

not much..but somehow i feel passat has bigger leg room than accord. Im just saying what i felt, coz i thought passat is small, judging by its exterior look, but after test drive, and having driven accord before as well, thats just my opinion

i never say K5 better than E250 lar...im jsut saying he is surprised at the korean car K5..E250 tarak reverse camera, tarak easy access seat, sunroof tarak fabric cover (yes, daytime sunllight beam in wan..he cursing say hot ler!!), tarak headlight washer..aiyor, of course E250 overall is better car than K5 lor...almost 3 times the price ler !!

really? maybe my ear stucked full of shit...cant extimate space..my fault...

but i still think passat is IN d-segment, and it is surprisingly big inside...cathedral...yeah..thats the word one reviewer said abt it...

hahaa...tot u wanna be unique?

hey guys, K5 oil change is 5 ltr...is it true?

yesterday was rushing to KL from shah alam using kesas n mex, to meet up wif frens..quite hard pressing the pedals, rpm ard 5k using pedal shifter all the time...didnt notice brunt smell after that..
