No la. WWH started earlier than that.

Finally spotted one on Plus just not too long ago.
Pretty eye catching and look stable at around 140/150 kmh...

Well, it feels damn fast.

Am considering K5 after me and my wife was stoned by its sexy look on Plus highway a while ago.

Any good sales contact anyone here can share with me.

So far my acquaintance with most Kia SA has been far from good.

Am looking for some recommended and reliable one.

Btw, anyone managed to find an outlet with test drive unit? Do share...


Thanks

I dont think ure gonna get a test drive unit anytime soon. Even Sportage dont have despite being launched last year. Your best bet for a test would be at the TTDI branch. The salesmen there might allow you to test 1 of the cars on the way to the Puspakom inspection. Just find out when they collecting their next car for delivery and then conveniently show up at the show room approx the same time. Then ask and see your luck. I did mine that way.

Please tell everyone which branch to do this so they won't buy from there lol... Send for Puspakom kena molest and trashed by other buyers before delivering to customer.

TTDI is main office right? your dealer also get car from there

actually, quite a few times testing kia forte also, is using customer car they dont have test drive car

Yes true also. If i buy, ill escort the car from the port to Puspakom myself.

you are tau keh, can go anywhere anytime you want mah, there are lot of office workers cannot come out unless they take a day off just to molest the car.

Branch manager just called stating the 2nd batch has landed last week and will be allocated this week. Will be getting my white K5 next week. And yes it is 2012 car. Luckily i waited for the 2nd batch.

hi bro,

any idea how many units are there in 2nd batch?
still didnt see much K5 on the road.

btw, care to share where did you booked your K5? Is the SA good for recommendations?

Hi bro,

Not very sure how many cars in the 2nd batch. I actually booked the car early before the launch date (17 dec 2011).

My SA is very good as he really knows bout car. He is a car person. Hate going to some SA who knows cr*p about cars. Have been to atleast 10 showroom and finally found 1 who knows about the car. He is Kevin from Kia Glenmarie. Tell him Hazrill white K5 recomended.

Thanks bro. Can share his contact number as well?
Btw did you managed to yet drive the car before committing?

Yea, most of the SA really dissappoint. Don't feel the sincerity and knowledge on product.

Yes good move bro. I knew Naza was lying when they instructed all branches to say that 2012 models will only arrive in April. I said that on threads here and even posted on the Kia Malaysia FB page. But sadly, many believed and still went for the 2011 models without any freebies or discounts. Imagine losing about RM10,000 just cuz you couldnt wait 1 month for a 2012 model.

Bro, did you get any freebies or special offers with your car? Interest rate? So ull be getting the WWJ number plate eh. If u care to delay 2 weeks, ull get the WWK plate.

Added on February 14, 2012, 9:59 amI have yet to meet a SA which knows more about the Optima than me. I had 1 salesperson at TTDI who didnt even know that the rear suspension of the Optima was different from other cars. He said same as Camry. Can u imagine that? Crap!

Wow! Tts fast! 2012 batch is oredi here?

Can anyone validate this?

yesterday went to Kia show room see K5...wah not bad...but too bad no test drive car, like that hardly for me made decision should go for it or not.. so far i shortlisted K5, Passat, new camry...but K5 is 1st choice now

but K5 i didn't realize come via front sensor, and the interior i think sonata slightly better.. i ask SA can chg to LCD player my own or not he say it will void warranty...and now Kia dun have any upgrade package for it.

Go check the interior quality of the Sonata. The Optima has better quality.

Yes, its very true. Sonata hav better interior design but quaity is on the plasticky side. Lack tt solid feel.
