508's engine noise is fairly better insulated than K5.

225/45/R18 is definitely going to make your feel hard bumps on the road, compare to 508's 235/45.

One pays less road tax than the other. One has better torque than the other. One pays less 20k than the other.
Both will share the same servicing pain...ahhaaha..

All depends on how buyer sees it.

What car were you driving before this?

i driving vitara, my bro had lexus IS300

I think spec wise everybody here can read about it online.

What we would really like to know more about is road handling, rear suspension comfort, ability to absorb bumps/potholes, cornering stability, fuel consumption, is it sluggish on initial acceleration, NVH at high speeds, wind noise, etc.

btw, can you tell me what is the RPM at 110kmph? I forgot to see when i test drove last.

mine is high spec 2.4, i will test it and let u know

Huh? How did u get a 2.4?

i mean 2400 cc version

Errr.. The K5 offered by naza onli comes in 2.0 n 1 spec. Sounds like urs is a sonata?

here is some spec i get online, i need further testing to let u know.

Theta 2.4 MPI Engine
type CVVT
Displacement 2,359 cc
Max. Power180 ps
Max. Torque23.6 kg.m
0 - 100km/h9.5 sec
80 - 120km/h6.6 sec


i can take a photo of the car and engine size if you dont believe

Err.. How much did you pay for road tax? if 2.4 it will be rm600++, 2.0 is around rm300++ only

Tts odd. I juz checked naza kia's website. Onli 2.0 is offered. Not trying to b rude but r u in msia?

Unless theres a new launch i dun know of.

Yup, i just got back from KIA Glenmarie playing with this baby.. hehehe.. only got 1 model 2.0. I've been fed up waiting for sportage, 4 months already still they can't give exact date when it will be here. Still hesitating whether to change to Optima or not, cause SA told there's one unit available (customer canceled order).

hmm... actually i bought the car in Brunei since it way cheaper, waited 7 month for the arrival. and yes i am from east malaysia

No wonder la. We dun hav the 2.4 version. But i believe the ride n feel shuld b pretty similar.

sorry for a bit of misleading there. i also do believe the ride and feel will be same for the malaysia version. there are 3 different version available in Brunei. low, medium and high but all fully booked. it only cost around RM92k (2.4 version) for high spec if direct convert brunei dollar to riggit

Wow! Tts cheap man!

the 1st thing rulez u need to comply when buying a car... dun trust ur salesman...
no need ask ur wife, ur own money whattt...

nangisssssss...
