i remember it was suppose to price not more than 140K as reported in NTV 7 quite a while ago. Probably 138,888

bro not too sure the aussie camry is what we are getting, this aussie one is like american camry, if so and yes we are getting, then teana may make more sales, cause this camry not uncle enough. too young, malaysian mentality , class d uncle car, except mazda 6, kia optima, even sonata turning into uncle look now since the k5 is out.

another thing, next few years camry is still giving normal NA engine, of course optima is also NA, unfortunately i think the new engines should be small cc with direct injection and assist with turbo and so on. like KERS Hybrid, and what ever, camry still dual VVti, i think no big deal, what i like to see is the improvement in the engine instead of higher CC cars like eco boost, TSi CGi and so on.

the optima leather may be not run in yet, a few time polish and moisturize may help. but i feel optima seat is much more comfortable compare to forte

reconmend you go glenmarie one, this federal highway only ghost will serve you, those dealer who got no car usually bring customer there to look see.

go to glenmarie one lah, just down the road. not too far away, last time was there, spoke to kevin. nice guy.

this is cheque of 1000, if i like the car after i drive it. you get to keep the cheque and i will take the car. otherwise i will take the cheque back, "

this probably will help you a lot in your destiny to look for your ultimate drive.

whats wrong with the 508, nice car what. comfortable. Anyway optima is not very much better if you expect more than just its good looks. interior wise i still think 508 is hands down. optima nice to look when it is new, once 2 to 3 years down the line, it will look outdated, why i have this conclusion, aggressive design cannot last, it captures the wow, but cant last, cause the next design will soon outdate it. unlike peugeot's the design i feel are ever lasting, i still think 407 is a very very sexy looking car despite its age on the design, same with 508. a little difficult to appreciate but once you like how it looks, it will last a long long sexiness.

depends on what u like and the angle you looking at. i bet you better go back to T after the hassle and problems. else the passat is a good buy. other than that mondeo is also great, unless you are so afraid of used value and spare parts. if those you can accept then you got a wider range of choices. otherwise it is just T and H basically.

T no head ache
H a bit of headache but ppl who buy are fan boys.

any other than these, you just taking risk only.

sorry pal havent test driven any 508, sat in a non moving one. well no one would let me try one. anyway i know back seat is a little cramp. well if thats the case then this 508 probably a flop here loh, especially every single road in PJ has speed bump. u said 10 yrs old suspension means it sinks totally in and hit the bumps? well if its the case then it is bad.

but optima should at least fair better. or else another flop, back to the drawing boards, camry it shall be.

Added on January 24, 2012, 2:51 pmfriend u complain so much, what in your mind is a good looking car? honda City? honda civic? or honda accord. Yucks, no taste, civic 2012, taste like porridge with no salt. ya i know, resale value mah... driving dynamics mah.. i still feel altis is a better buy than civic,.. ya i know, altis where got power..
altis suspension better than civic mah., dual VVti better than inteligent Vtec mah.. haha, what to argue. nothin, so how? just buy the car u like and keep you bad thoughts to yourself we all here know you are jealous of the Forte, no doubt, if you see forte try no to puke in your own car. its very very messy.


at least forte is getting more and more on the road, in just about 2 to 3 years since it was given birth here. i hope the new civic they will increase price more than 10k so that the Koreans would look like better buy. and your honda will always be better resale value. everyone win.

well not a loser, at least i am smarter, prefer use my money in a more effective way, but don't get me wrong, i don't own a kia, but i don't like ppl who speaks rubbish about the same thing every time. it is really boring. why do you even bother to even go look and see the optima, if you already don't like it, and tell everyone here in a funny way how you don't like it, be nice lah, put your words nicely we wont offend you any way. i know, honda accord the best in its class, no doubt about that. but when it comes to comparison use nice words.

we all cannot agree more the koreans are now very close to the japs and attracts more buyers, though not overtaking japs, ya, the japs are still superior "applicable in malaysia", but you know lah, korean is bloody cool in everything now, from the 4 most important elements in the world, beautiful cars, beautiful girls, and bloody competitive smartphones and TV's, it defies the law of japanese number 1, heck the sony TV is loosing money, only thing koreans haven't conquer, the gaming industry, though Sony still leads the pack. but who knows, sometime down this year, Samsung gaming platform.

at least minimum the K gals are hot,

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.

seriously most shops in Klang and meru will take but at a lower price. the tyres can be used what.


Anyway @ Cybermaster98, why are you concern about the tyre. unless you dont trust them?

but this does not mean nexen tyres are not good rite? they are not as good as michelin or Bridgestone and the rest, but it don't mean it will kill you on a highway by blowing apart suddenly.

if don't like, sell it to the shop at a lower price otherwise keep those tyres yourself, it may turn out handy, If the price you feel is not right.

unless you wanna ask the sales person from Naza to makan your tyre and you ask him to get you michelin PS3. die loh the sales man, rugi rugi habis do your business.

hey cybermaster man. relax lah, when forte came with kumho tyres, no one know what the heck was the tyre. no one seem to complain too much about it also, if talking about dangerous encounters, never came across a forte tyre blown apart during driving. Only celup tyre will blow apart. try one side by side with the lorry, it is really fun...

the whole car will shake.... you will get a adrenaline rush with that. i kena before.

but i do agree with you, michelin tyres are very very good, i am using them, the confident in wet conditions, it is really something you really paid for.

used, PP2, Energy XM 2 and primacy LC, but the best is still PP2, bloody good tyres.

@ cybermaster98 so you booked your unit already? still looking around?

anyway camry coming very soon just a couple of months down the line,

hey you not waiting for camry ah? later regret oh?

u confirmed with this information? valid? cause as far as i concern it should have some improvement in the engine and GB, at least 5 speed. otherwise it be in a loosing end.

bro frost, i think naza and peter should come visit you and give u a pingat man. all 3 cars are kia, either u a fanboy or the cars are really good.

haha... ever heard of ppl having all cars the same brand.

ai ya, if you are in your home town, working there, probably you got loads of cash, cause
1) you stay with parents
2) u may not have a family yet.
3) you have extra cash because in ur home town, ur petrol on RM 300 / month, ur phone bill RM 80 / month, no toll, maintenance for old car only RM 100 per 2 months.
4) ur income RM 3000.00, after nett. so

save RM 1500, still have RM 1500 left, you got parents to dump 40K for ur new car. Sell ur old car RM 30,000, borrow 70K, loan for 5 to 7 years. Father say i wanna use on weekend. you say ok. why not.

what the hell, why cannot buy, but no much savings and investment lah. haha, today our young grads can buy K5 and Sonata man, those days i come out to work, only can dream of a car. walk lah. i got legs what.

so lucky young ppl today. before going college i want a tablet. i want a smart phone.

i go to college i use the college slow snail computer.

things are different now.

why is the K5 is up against 508? i dont get it, both are totally different cars. although the same segment. but both design are like 180 deg opposite of each other.

one is elegant, the other is bold and macho. one is soft and comfortable, the other is dynamic driving. one cost less than 150K the other more than 150K. mana ada sama.

Maybe a camry 2.0G against kia K5, and 508 vs camry 2.0G again? haha, really boring market segments man. luckily it comes with 508 and k5 for discussion.

i know what are the similarities. the buyer loves cars with plenty of cool stuff. the buyer loves naza haha

it is ok if you dont like the car. We here have to accept that. Unfortunately you have to get some other brands. Good for you, many out there for you to choose. I am sure you will find one suitable.

even if "you" feel the tech and spec and design is not up to your expectation," it is ok, because it is your expectation, not ours. not the buyers.

unfortunately you cannot enjoy what other K 5 owners are enjoying. i am sure you will think the same. If you own a camry, you will think, what other ppl are not enjoying your camry. Dont bother because those who have seen the K5, ended with a camry is also ok, their money what.

so what car you buy it is up to you, here we talk about the car, what we like, what we dont like, what can be better.

so u dont like, dont buy loh, simple as that.

at last the wait is over, welcome to the K5 world, where you will enjoy the car so much you want to sleep in it.
