Any updates on the AP issue? I was told by SA that the latest to settle this AP issue will be end of the month. I will cancel the order if didn't receive the car by July.

It is not marketing strategy. They have some issues with custom tax as NAZA have imported more than 500 units CBU model. It is over their limit and request for extra imported units to fulfill market demand. They need to proof why CKD model for K5 is not possible during this stage as lack of expertise to install K5 in Malaysia.

It seems this is becoming quite an issue for you since you brought this up a couple of times, dang!, I hope I don't regret getting this car as I travel on the highway at speeds everyday.. Is it really that bad to warrant some tweaking?

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jun 18 2012, 12:35 PM) How is the driving style got anything to do with the range of a full tank? Driving style affects fuel consumption. So for someone who is heavy footed, he may start with say 750km range after filling up a full tank. But the range will start dropping drastically if he is a heavy footer. Thats how the distance to empty works. Its never a fixed value and it will fluctuate depending on your driving style. When you driving style is very economical, it just takes longer for your range to drop. But what im refering to here is the initial distance to empty just after filling up say 75L before the car even moves. Mine has always been below 700km despite my driving style. Only once i managed to get about 750km. But i can usually travel about 600km before i fill up with about 3 bars of fuel left. My speed is usually around 170-180kmph on the highway. I heard somewhere that not only can the car inform you on ur distance to empty when u are driving (according to ur driving style), it can also record the way you drive. That is why it will review the initial distance to empty (according to ur driving style). Don't know how true is this. Don't have the car to test it out yet. Still waiting for good news from my SA. May be bro CB98 can help test this theory out. Sure hope its not a defect.

QUOTE(zapirwin @ Jun 18 2012, 09:35 PM) I have tried various driving styles. I filled a full tank today (70.78L). Distance to empty was 694km. I then drove about 200km on the highway doing about 180-210kmph. Then allowed the car to rest for about 12 hours. Then took a 15min gradual drive in eco mode to the petrol station. Topped to the max again (27.20L) and the distance to empty showed 666km. I normally fill till almost overflowing. On top of that i only consumed about 2 bars of fuel (out of 12) today but ended up filling 27.20L out of the possible 75L or so. It just doesnt add up. The other 'problem' is brochure states the full tank as 70L but i usually fill more than 75L with the maximum being almost 79L. All this tested at various petrol stations. I really can't understand this at all.

Is it really that bad to warrant some tweaking? Its not that its bad. Its just that you dont expect this with a car that's heavier than a Camry and has 18 inch rims. Plus its suspension is supposedly tuned for performance with HPD. I can't help but recall a forumer here saying that the Vios seems more stable at taking corners and i now seem to agree. I used to push my previous Vios to 180kmph and i had a bit more confidence taking corners then. Im taking the car to Kia tomorrow to get it checked out. If its a problem then i wanna know bout it early.

If its a problem then i wanna know bout it early. yeah I understand what you mean..my wife's Forte 2.0 exhibit the same symptoms, its not like the car has no grip, it has tons of it, just that the feedback on the road does not translate well through the steering giving you a very vauge feeling like its lifeless. But i honestly think the K5 is not as bad as the Forte's which is a joy to park but on high speeds, past 150 I somehow need to really concentrate on the road as opposed to going fast on say a Swift. Oh well, check out if you can get the mech to tune it a little, hope it makes a difference if thats possible.

Looks like Peugeot has stepped up the a few gears. They wanted to launch a cheaper version of the 508 since it wasnt selling well so they introduced 4 other models to mask a cheaper version. Good move. Not many would see it at a glance. But the standard version has omitted the keyless entry, Smart Beam System, color HUD, electric parking brake, ASM aid, JBL sound system and the quad zone aircon with a RM 14K cheaper price tag. http://paultan.org/2012/06/18/peugeot-508-...on-from-rm159k/This post has been edited by cybermaster98: Jun 19 2012, 01:50 AM

The problem is not due to tyre balancing. This is a steering issue.
