thx...K5white
feel like tipu only free the labour cas,btw mark up $$$ oil thing.
which SC good service in Sel @ Kl area?

cannot say like that...ppl give u warranty 5 years, u cant just send ur car to ah beng w/shop for repair, then claim warranty send to them...susah lo...they oso open such big workshop, they oso need to earn mah...

Woo.... sound good this SC location pls

For those of u waiting for delivery of ur beloved K5s, pls hang in there. Trust me, its really worth waitin for n i hav been a jap car user for more than 15yrs till today. I m really impressed n happy to own my 1st korean, my K5. This car is made to prove tt the koreans can produce wonderful cars. Wif the help of Peter Schreyer of course.

Honestly, the matter lies wif MITI n its not really nazas fault this time. I m not defending them neither do i work/affiliated wif them. Its good to know the truth rather bashing up someone whose got no control over the current situation. If u say the taxes has not been paid or setted then no way the cars can leave the port. Mind u tt MITI who is procesing the aps hav to serve other car manufacturers as well. I dun think they can cope nor intend to move faster to cope wif the demand. Bear in mind there has been new n upcoming car launches this recent months. Fyi, cars manufactured in thailand oso requires an ap. So theres backlog backlog n more backlogs.

My friendly advise is to continue to hang on if u can. Easier said than done but i u can, u ll b rewarded wif a great driving experience. If u wanna know since i talk so much, i put in a booking fee in Dec 2011, i got my car in May 2012. Contributed by own fault causing the delay. But worth the wait.

Hi all

Joining the club. Booked my silver K5 on Dec 28 when it was launched and collected car on Feb 16. Been driving around ever since and love it.

To all new owners, because its very low, always be careful when you go over bump. Hit my bottom too when exiting Empire basement shopping mall car park. Heart wrenching. Be warned

Another question to other fellow owners - the sounds from the driver and passenger speaker sounds muffled and unclear. It is configured naturally this way? the SA let me hear the sounds from other optima and it sounded the same.

Thxs

Regards
Nick

Welcome mate. If u referrin the radio, then yes. Mine is oso somewat muffled or bass heavy. Best settings for me, bass +3, mid +9, treble +10 n fader +4 rear. If u notice, radio volume needs to be up fr 8-10 range for decent listening. Where as mp3, 8 is loud enuf, 10 if u dun wanna hear ur wife nag. Juz kiddin. Lol...

Hi there I paid full price cash less ncb n rm50 for loan documents, when I bought on 18 June ! I think you don't seem to get it that when payment is requested n given on promise to deliver then it must be honoured by nazakia dealership! So I expect NazaKia to keep their promise n not muck me around otherwise I would not have paid! So in striking the deal I kept my part NazaKia mucked up n now Hopefully they will keep their promise if their dealer deliver optima next Friday until then I have no wish to think NazaKia is great etc! The truth is if they thought customer is important then they should not have done what they did in my case ! I will wait n see about service! Hope it is as good as you say. Cheers

hi guys, im a new proud owner of white K5

The buck stops with the dealer NazaKia. You think they can get AP etc in the first place if no guanxi with government? What nonsense? you point fingers at MITI? The real problem is crony business! Also NazaKia must let customers know of problem lah not take order, booking, payment then tell BS about documentation problem! This whole national car project needs to be scrapped n level playing field n no more crap cars with huge Govt levy lah! Cars are a necessity not luxury n the rakyat have paid the price of crazy policy for so many years!

Bro all this is is getting very tiring & is besides the point la. No point talking about Gov policies and crony businesses. If u really wanna kill off the crony business, then are you prepared to boycott every single one of them? Boycott Astro, TNB, all cars, all major eateries even nasi kandar, sugar, rice, etc? Shall i list all of them? Let's be practical.

U seem to be only making a big deal out of this just cuz u bought the car cash and u expect some world class treatment but just cuz its Korean u go on and on bashing them. Put yorself in their shoes. Would you risk losing sales but revealing facts about the delays? I wouldnt cuz i would think that a few weeks of delays wont hurt anybody and seriously it doesnt. if it was gonna be a few months then i would have. Car deliveries were always between 1-3 months in general. Go check other manufacturers. Just cuz Naza does a good job and brings in cars earlier and startrs delivering within 2 weeks of booking, you raise the bar for them and start slamming them for a delay that has alot to do with factors beyond their control. It wasnt something Naza could time estimate. Everybody wanted an early solution and having u here slamming them madly while knowing only 1 side of the story doesnt actually make it a level playing field does it?

So please take my advice and stop. There are more important issues to discuss on this thread than your i-paid-for-cash-so-Naza-cant-make-any-mistakes-whatsover attitude. There are issues with the car that need to be resolved e.g steering issues. Start doing research on it, read up on it, ask some mechanics and get some base info while waiting for your car as this issue will affect EVERYBODY on varying levels. This is more of a concern than continously harping on a few weeks delay with a car delivery.

I dont mean to be blunt or rude but seriously bro, please take this down a few notches. Its really doing the Kia reputation no good at all.

Cm98 make a good point here. I was in Mazda today checking cx5 for fun. Guess what, it takes 9 months no matter you pay cash or top up more, the reality is u gotta wait. And the best part is when u got the car in 2013, it is still mnfg in 2012. Sales guy can say it is hotdemand la, no stock la, no materials la, AP la.....but only God knows what is the real issue behind.....

So, waiting a 2-3 months is norm for cbu. I consider my self lucky for being able to get k5 in less than 10 days....

Added on June 22, 2012, 9:45 amToday I was driving at some 70kmh while picking up the left turn over the federal highway to subang direction, the road has some pot hole and I ram over it while making turning. There was a weird sound 'krak-krak' quite obvious over the front right side. Any of u guys experience that? This is not the first time I encountered this

usually buy cash the SA dun like much

coz some SA got intro the loan officer, when u make loan.

he got extra income. if you buy cash, they might earn less

nobody read my post

I need to ask you guys on something else, did you guys tint your car? if so what brand you guys recommend? the price? and which shop?

Can't wait to get my new car

SA told me he gip free dark tinted with JPJ approval.
he said cost about 650-700 but he will bare the cost.

nice. pinjam tengok

My SA told me they only have one brand for tinting the car and the cost is quite high. 3M and the cost is rm2.5k, made me thinking should i go outside and do it my self or just stick what the SA offer me.
