Purposely create a new acc to comment about this car?

If the pricing and the goodies that come with it cant impress, you should get the new Camry. The price very 'reasonable' and design very 'reliable' and 'new' compare to previous model, sure wont go outdate one.

Enjoy ya~!

Where u went test drive? I want too I found many stores has no test drive unit, thank you

Which VW you will go for, Passat CC R line?

Kia Client management Division called today to check whether I have done my 1k km service. I was thinking 'wow', Kia nowdays so good service meh?? Anyway nice that they care for my car... 
If you really think K5 cannot compete with camly... then you better get a camly..

I think camly is good for you and if you think the interior of K5 is  too stylish compare to camly   

If you think the interior of camly is nicer and wont get outdated in 10 years time, think again... its already outdated now (for me the design of camly is really OLD)... another 10 years also no difference.

Hope you enjoy your new camly.... 

P/S: I bought my K5 without a single test drive..
why?
cause I read the forum here and ppl like cm98 and the rest who test drive the car give out real facts, not what they believe or hear from others. I never expect K5 to be perfect but it is way better than 90% of other cars or make within the same segment and price point. 

Dont let your past experience clout your future judgement!

I LOL too when saw this post. Don't just say it is not good only. Show some comparison in figures or facts please If you can post like what sifu CM98 and others has posted, with facts and figures, I might be convinced. Our sifu 7th test drive babe! As we speak, he might have the 8th already. I appreciate what he posted. Real informative. I only have 3

Totally agree with u bro.People say so many people praise this car,but in real live driving,its sucks.Who are these people who praise this car? PEople who are paid by Kia and Hyundai ?

Same goes to elantra.Before launch,hype up kaokao,win duno what lousy north american best car award lah,and some other crappy award. But when come to malaysia and you actually test drive it,it is so underpowered.Even the 1.8 felt like crap. Lets not talk bout price lah,even if the elantra 1.8 was priced at 99k, i cant seem to find any reason why I should buy it.The same goes for this Optima.

They dont understand that all these awards are actually paid for by Hyundai and Kia.Thats why you see all these korean brands suddenly winning so many crappy awards.Its all part of their marketing strategy.

Just look at the Sportage,it looks so nice ,but how often u see them on the road? HARDLY! Good design will win you a few fans overnight but wont last long.Great driving charecteristics and a design that will last a long time will win you  loyalists.

Aiyo damn la, this thread suddenly got so many T&H sa come up, like in the Paultan blog. hahaha, w111w, you joined this forum yesterday only? so it proved that you only join the forum to bash the Kia Optima and attract more ppl to buy your damn scumbug stupid Camry.

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 !

I can feel the insecurity in you that camry sales are losing out very soon Cheers and good luck!

Hie everyone,was looking to upgrade my car when i saw the Optima k5.Looked great from the outside.So decided to go for a test drive.Unfortunately very disappointing,car felt very underpower and engine was a bit rough and in terms of interior stylishness,it somehow felt cheap.You sit inside and you dont feel like you are in a premium car.You just feel like you are in another Korean car.For normal crusing,this is ok,but for spirited driving,this is definately a big NO.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Sorry i couldnt help myself. This clearly proves some things:

1) You have NOT test driven the car
2) You have ZERO KNOWLEDGE about cars
3) You are just another one of those WANNABIES who have no guts to use your real nick choosing to comment with a new nick to avoid getting thrashed.

Wasting time arguing with this cybermaster who think he knows everything about cars in the whole wide world.but anyhow, will let u win cuz i got better things to do than argue with this fella.Anyway my opinion about k5 is its value for money but nothing that will get ur adrenalin pumping.

Are u plain stupid or you have a problem understanding english or are u too lazy to read previous posts?

Only a stupid person like you will come here and say Passat 1.8 gives good driving feel like you made some big discovery. We all know that u dumb fool. VW has got among the best engines and gearboxes around and WE ALL KNOW THAT!

Passat 1.8TSI has 250Nm torque which makes it more powerful than Optima for sure. Plus it comes with a world renowed 7 speed DSG gearbox while the Optima only has a 6 speed auto. WE ALL KNOW THAT!

Passat surely has better driving dynamics because its VW and WE ALL KNOW THAT!

But then Passat 1.8TSI (CKD) also costs RM27,000 more and has got less specs than the Optima. Plus it looks really dull and boring and its seat comfort is no where close to Optima's standard. WE ALL KNOW THAT!

The Teana comes with a XCVT transmission and it delivers more low range power than the Optima. The acceleration is also smoother. WE ALL KNOW THAT! But sorry, i dont wish to drive around in an uncle's car with half the specs available compared to the Optima.

Only a fool like you will evaluate cars based on 1 or 2 factors. I suppose it didnt strike you that there is no such thing as a PERFECT car. The owners here chose the Optima not because it is perfect but because it was GENERALLY the best and it gave them the most value for money for the RM143K that they are spending.

So now tell me something we DONT know. And while ure at it do tell us what's your CURRENT car.
