bro irangan,
mind to pm me those that you mentioned? I'm a K5 PG to-be.......very soon....cheers! tq

what can be further said.......the 2.0 new camry still runs on an old 4 speed GB.....

Well, i have tested Mondeo, 508, camry2.0, accord2.0, Focus TDCI2.0, teana2.0, passat1.8, mazda6 and lastly k5.

I wouldn't say K5 is the best, but yet it is value for the $$ --> that's why i book one 2days back.

U want torque, go for TDCI. U want comfort go for Camry/Teana. U want power, go for Passat1.8/508. U want stylish, then for now nothing beats K5. And these are of course my own humble opinion that would differs compared to others.

Being Msian, our mentality are just too narrow at the Jap made due to the resell value. Look at the broader picture, i guess end of the day is what u really want. U need to carry whole family, maybe can go for MPV rather D-segment. All cars are made to be liability which depreciate unless u keep something really extraordinary. I'm also one of those conservative man once, and wish to move out from that circle.

And by the way, i'm now 33 a family man and that doesn't stop me from being fancy with K5. My wife whom is 34 now drives a 523, love K5 at the first sight and wanna exchange the car when that K5 arrives! She even say the interior was so classy and premium.

Well again, i guess it is really own perception and own liking about the car. Nobody is right or wrong about the design and the feel.

hahaa......i made sure myself read the whole 93pages before i started to post on this place. I guess not much read thru and just jump in with their own findings on K5.

750km/70L already sound very very good for a 2.0 engine for D-segment.

ooooo.....ganas looking k5 in PG. my on the way very soon too.....

seems many going into PG color due to the long wait on the sexy white!

IMHO
White - sexy
PG - classy
Silver - sporty

Red or blue is a killer. But Malaysia takda

ooooo,,,,,,light blue? apa color itu? never seen before, Msia so limited choices. I would love the striking blue or red.....

I don't have the car yet, waiting next week....but I would comment that the quality of the glove box and center console not really that up to the mark. The sales guy explanation is crappy....

Anyway, overall the car really impress me....quality of others should be good. I love the seats, dash, meter....performance also better than equivalent 2.0 like Camry, especially the handling was superb.

Sales guys loves to talk shit.....many of them don't really know much about cars. The donk head that serves me in Klang - when ask what is the torque, he answer RPM4600 and I belasah him. Only 5-6 products in the showroom pun tak boleh paham the details.....how la if selling 10-20 types of products? Haha....

well nothing is perfect....give and take lo. The most important is you shiok driving the car.....case close

Yup. Ended up I booked mine in glenmarie with a guy that knows the car in and out. It is just part of day to day effort of selling and customer satisfaction.

Being a bit hard on them actually is helping them to improve. This is what I do to my sales guys too....not harsh but hard on facts and figure.

Are u sure bout the ckd on optima? So far didn't heard that, unless they really doing well like forte else it doesn't make sense to ckd.

This is most likely due to dealing with the dealers. They can offer better discount comparatively the Kia branch.
But then, getting from dealers can't really guarantee the car is totally 'new'. if you don't mind the possibilities the car has been used by someone for short test drive, then u may go to dealer with a better cash rebate. Most likely cars from dealers will be having some 50-100km done, this inclusive the driving from the distributing location to the dealer location.

very sorry to one of the silver K5 owner in Klang whom buys from the dealer in Klang. I tested the car there, and i guess that car has been tested by many others. When I tested, it was already clocking 87km, and that is before any inspection for sure as no plate number yet for the car.

This is the thing that dealer might do as they do not own a test unit, and not the branch SA. Very less dealer wanna purchase 1unit for test drive, or even sell a test drive unit at lower price --> minimize the loss ma....so use those new units.

woooo...this color looks good....where is this?

welcome welcome sama sama K5 member.

same experience here, used car dealer in Muar able to offer RM48k for my 2006 city whereas in KL the best is 46k.

eh, me also WWR leh...sudah booking itu 1018.....jgn rebut sama wa nye....haha


by the way, the new color light graphite supposed to be a hybrid color in other region. which showroom now having this color? wanna view view....if no fancy will stick back my PG color....

bang the donk donk Toyota SA, very unpro act of sales. What is the point of showing some bad comments of others? Does that helps to promote your product is better??

hi sifu-sifu skalian that oredi owned or study K5,

just want to check one issue here --> would the warranty affected if we were to change the stock wheel/rim to others which has exactly the same profile? Anyone seek confirmation with Naza on this matter?

If change profile pulak apamacam? I saw the photo of one of the K5 on the TT session oredi changed. Can the taiko owner there drop in some valuable input? Or Irangan and K5White mind to update?

tima kasih manyak manyak!

well, yup this is exactly what i thought.

being buntut gatai, i am considering to change rim but then such subjective arguments just block me from doing so.

I saw one of the taiko changed rim on the TT session photo, that sparks up my thought to be buntut gatai again......which taiko again that changed rim?

yaya.....alarm system, front sensor, blablabla which has to do with electrical wiring/looping......SA in Glenmarie says can la and do it in their Glenmarie SC. Anyone fixed these before?
