He used to have a Myvi till he upgraded in 2009 to a Honda City. Then late last year he bought a pre-regis Polo.

Yes... Still can drive but once engine stop... Cannot start... That's what my SA told me...  blush.gif

Ya, cannot start because the fella got no key right?

Not because of alarm system program detect to make the car can't start right?

To people that interested to change their rear lamp, I just checked with Kia SC that as long our lamp is plug and play and dont involve cutting wiring. Warranty will be intact.

http://www.sharkracing.com/acecart/bin/sho...&cate=030801000

So means that we can buy this and mod the wire head to plug and play and dont have worry about the warranty.

Anyone that good in modding wirings want to be the first to take the plunge? smile.gif

The lamp is very sexy

I tot we was fighting with Naza Malaysia to get the rear lamp as same as the brochures?

Ouch. Sad to hear that. Stupid lazy bum that dont work and choose to rob.

Anyone know any system to enhance our current system? So that can 'auto' stop engine when the key not in car?
*
Yeah, good idea, and also auto flip up the side mirror.

Ok, got some info about keyless remote, now I have another question..

When I was driving with "D" mode, then paddle shift still can be use for increase and decrease the gear thumbup.gif Is good for emergency or short distance stop, but is it hurt or spoil the gear? hmm.gif Is it not recommended to use the paddle shift like this way?

Thanks advise.

it very stable compare to camry 2.0g. some how camry max speed only 190km/h.
*
But I tried my fren camry, can't deny , the camry is comfort too, and passing cross road, it' quiet and absorber is nicer compare to K5, but interior is a bit bore..

As I said , give and take, no prefect car in this kinda price range.

To me if i want to look for a sedan, yes Optima is my choice.

But, SUV are more suitable for me due to 80% of my ride are at the kampung road & the road condition are bad. So i go for SUV.

If SUV, i will choose tucson or sportage rclxms.gif

I heard from SA kia red cube PJ, Sportage price remain the same as CBU after conversion to CKD / SKD.
Can anyone confirm?

If same apply to K5, i think better get current CBU asap he he.
*
As I heard from my SA yes.. The price of sportage remain.

Maybe like forte CKD, K5 CKD got touch screen player .. Or more freebies.. K logo.. But price remain same.

Hi All,

Need to check with you guys whether you experience this in your K5:-

When the vehicle in motion and coming into a stop position like parking, when your call is stalled or complete standstill and your gear engage in P and you let go your brake, the car is like jerk forward a bit, the feeling is like in the lift sometimes it reaches the floor and it move a bit up before stopping at the position.  Can't really explain the feeling, and i hope you guys understand what I am trying to express.

It also happens while you are pressing the brake pedal when stopping, and then engage your leg brake, the moment you let go the brake pedal, sometimes this effect may occur. 

Anyone experience this in your K5 ?  I am sending my car for the 1st service tomorrow, will check with the technician.
*
I tot is commend ? My also the same.. Dunno is big issue o not, but I really found leg brake is not tight as hand brake. Still haven't used to it yet tongue.gif

I buy from the Kepong SA, he had explain the most basic requiretment of the car to me and honestly told me he not well known bout this K5 since is still new , so i can understand tat.

I also go & search internet and get knowledge 4myself since i'm getting the car for myself , cant just trust SA said , and sometimes SA will have mistake and do fault since i m also a sales line person .

Even he is not giving me best offer when i find out from other dealer after loan approved . He allow me transfer my loan to other KIA dealer , but i not too.. (he also cari makan only) kepong dealer is the most nearest to me , and he is easy going person, nice . so i choosed to took from him , and he also did delivered the car on the date i want.

so i m always think ''give & take''.
easy life , easy happy . ''enjoy the ride''

And call up another SA selling K5 logo 1set (front and back) Rm200

Or Eagle logo 1set (F and B) Rm200

Any 1 share? Share means we buy both .. Then is either u take front eagle logo back K5 logo
Then I take front K5 logo back eagle logo, Or terbalik.. Good idea? icon_rolleyes.gif

Rims 4 set logo = Rm120 (eagle or k5 can't remember)
