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.

QUOTE(SA6YEuro @ Feb 14 2012, 05:30 PM) Yes, its very true. Sonata hav better interior design but quaity is on the plasticky side. Lack tt solid feel. Added on February 14, 2012, 8:19 pmU mean theres a front bumper sensor juz like the usual reverse sensor? Tts new. Didnt know tt. ya just normal front sensor like our rear reverse sensor..just like camry now also got front sensor rite QUOTE(rcracer @ Feb 14 2012, 08:44 PM) why you want t upgrade the Infinity audio system? i prefer upgrade to LCD player...those come via GPS...

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Feb 15 2012, 07:38 AM) U mean the Optima has front parking sensors now? Are u sure? How many? There is a small box near the headlights on both sides and those are washers for the HID. Hope ure not refering to that. no i means K5 dont have front sensor, but only come via washers...

QUOTE(hqstaff @ Apr 4 2012, 07:06 AM) I LOVE THE NEW K5! REMEMBER THAT IT IS ONLY 2000 CC. HAS AUDI FEEL AND VERY HIGH QUALITY INTERIOR. LEG ROOM IS EXCELLENT. WHOEVER SAY K5 IS NO GOOD NEVER TRIED THE CAR! TURBO CARS CAN NEVER SUSTAIN THE POWER BOOST FOR LONG! IN FACT MANY TURBO UNITS IN HOT COUNTRIES LIKE OURS WILL DEVELOP PROBLEMS LATER ON. GOOGLE ON THIS! I AM NEVER A FAN OF KOREAN CAR BUT THIS ONE CHANGED MY MIND. ACTUALLY THE CURRENT SONATA GIVE THE CAMRY A RUN FOR THE MONEY TOO. I WAS WAITING FOR THE 2012 CAMRY MODEL. BUT IF THE LATEST NEWS ON THE NEW CAMRY PRICES ARE TRUE ( 2012 CAMRY 2.0 @ 152,000) THEN CAMRY IS SO OVERPRICED! FOR THIS MONEY , PRIUS IS BETTER VALUE WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY.  i gt 3 car shortlisted previously 1st is VW passat follow by new camry and K5, end up camry is out no point pay so much getting such spec sumore without VSC for the power, i test drive accord 2.0 and camry 2.0...if compare via K5, K5 definately better than both T&H, take note when i test drive K5 we gt 5 ppl sit inside the car. of course you cant compare via turbo engine it's totally different but i doubt turbo suitable in hot country or not...my coli 2 weeks Polo just lost power and break down.. anywhere i will gor for either passat or K5... how wish Kia can bring in K5 turbo or 2.4...

QUOTE(stanleychai @ Apr 4 2012, 01:06 PM) Hahaha...i believe no korean fanboy here...K5 is not a perfect car... we do know the weakness of it ! I don't like the finishing, interior is lack of premium feel...but i still owe a K5 because overall is a great car! The problem is, you are talking rubbish with your only one driving impression, ridiculous ! Drive 1 time enough to judge a car? Please go to drive other car and share with us what car is super power, impressive touque for you! Bro, if you love power, passat is your choice ! I tested and very impressed! The reason of not choose passat because i love features, gadgets personally. Passat is quite emtpy, with Touch Screen Navigator, addon 5k, total cost around 190k... not worth my extra 45k, just my 2 cents.. Anyway, please share to us if you go for K5 ! yup agree... if power definately go for passat...but still...i prefer feature K5 almost gt all what i need, except turbo or 2.4 haha

QUOTE(JuneSeptember @ Apr 5 2012, 09:19 AM) Luckily i was turned off by VW's interior. The TSI engines and the performance figures were what attracted me last time. Is it a common problem or is it only the older TSI engines? so far i know passat cc ok no problem... my neighbour driving more than 2 yrs no kacau they say due to polo/golf using dry clutch and passat cc using wet clutch...im not technical ppl so keno comment so much lo

QUOTE(Felice821 @ Apr 15 2012, 10:28 PM) Finally I make a booking today for Light Graphite color. I request to take the car end of June. No idea how true, but the SA told me PG going to discontinue and will replace by Light Graphite. I got it from Sunway with RM2500 rebate + Full tank. can i have your SA name, i went to sunway ask they only rebate me 1k.... if they can get me same offer as yours i will just book from him/her
