So the allignment function on the display is not really the allignment of the tyres but actually to tell you the tyres are not straight? Thats a disappointment.

My fc is on the high side as 100% city with very bad jam. Ive been clocking bout 480km. But if traffic not that bad then bout 550km. On 100% highway cruising at 90kmh to pg n back managed to hit 880km. But really had to drive very gently. Im planning to organize the 2nd TT maybe next month. Spoke to Naza Kia and they said we can write in to get them to sponsor something for the TT. Naza sponsor?? Wow... You r the man... I will attend this Sunday TT at citta mall , u going? Yay, NAZA sponsor. Next round TT we go Jake's Charbroil Steaks. Btw, my friend bought a set of rubber mats for his A6 from Audi. I'm seriously considering one set for my K5, i'm sick of vacuuming the ori carpet. Is NAZA selling rubber mats for K5?

Guys, i have finally collected my Silver K5 today in Ipoh. Filled up fuel to the max of 75L (RM142). I dont know why the book states max is 70L only. Anyway i drove back to KL after that. Fuel consumption was excellent on the highway despite driving at 140kmph. The 1st bar only dropped after reaching KL at the 245km mark. But 2nd bar dropped at 270km mark but that was in spirited town driving. I had 4 passengers in the car all through.
Besides that, all else was ok. I test drove the car 9 times before buying so nothing much new. Except the mood lights are practically non existent and the button lights are very mild. Should have been white instead of red. The Nexen car tyres are not too bad. Not as noisy as i figured it would be. The tyre pressure was set at 190 for all 4 so i pumped up to 240 as specified. I think i am not gonna change the tyres. Will use it till its worn and then change to Michelin / Goodyear then. I dont see it being worthwhile spending another RM2,500 to change tyres. If the Nexen was really bad then it would have been important to change immediately but now i dont think so.
But i noticed that the rain sensor isnt that sensative. Only activates when amount of water on windscreen reaches a 'disturbing' level and doesnt do a final wipe after the rain has stopped completely despite having some water on the windscreen. Totally different from the Peugeot system which activates the moment a few drops are present.
Based on the power i experienced, i think the car will not find it easy going up Genting especially with passengers. The car is quite heavy and the 2.0L engine is not really suited for this body. A Turbo or a 2.4L will be ideal.
But 1 thing which caught my attention before and it did again this time was the audio system. Despite all the correct settings, i didnt get the surround sound experience. Most of the sound seemed to be coming from the front speakers. A sound setting at 6 would be just nice for the front but rear passengers would probably hear it as a 3 or 4. I only got the surround sound feeling when i adjusted the fader and put +3 for the rear. Doesnt seem right at all. Are you guys experiencing the same?
Parking was a real experience especially at shopping malls. Also trying to selit the car into tight roadside parking is virtually impossible due to the length of the car. I really need to install the front sensors. The high bonnet and long front overhang is really a bother when negotiating tight spots. But i must say the rear camera and parking sensor is quite accurate. But my advice would be to never depend on it 100%. Still use the traditional method of checking your side mirrors and doing the occasional turn back to confirm. Getting a dent or a scratch is really not worth it.
But overall, the car is great. Has alot of confidence and ride handling is good. Ive been getting many stares at traffic light stops and makan shops. The last time i had this experience was in 2003 with my Vios when it was first launched. Great feeling i must say.

Thanks for the good review CB98. Just wanna check, how many bars are there when the fuel tank is full? You mean to say that the 2nd bar dropped after 25km of city driving? Wow....I didn't know its such a big difference driving in city compared with driving on highways.

CM98..i was also thinking of putting front parking sensor initially but now i've changed my mind..not worth it and possibility of void warranty..dun worry, u'll get use to it after sometimes..now its easy already for me to parking..what i need is only extra blind spot mirror @ side mirror which help me alot

You mean to say that the 2nd bar dropped after 25km of city driving? Wow....I didn't know its such a big difference driving in city compared with driving on highways. Total 12 bars when full. So basically 2 bars for the first 270km. BUt the first bars normally take longer to drop due to the sensor position. Ull only know your full tank mileage (range) upon uve consumed the whole tank. But just keep in mind that the full tank capacity can go up to at least 75L or more and not 70L as stated in the car manual. Guys, i intend to do the Sierra Glow tomorrow. Is it really that good? I travel alot outstation every week so i need something good to protect.

I think most of the member here including myself already went for it and I would say worth it. The car looks like just polished each time i wash my car by myself and you can feel that there is a layer of coating on it. Dont know how to express it. About the fuel tank, you sure about the fuel tank. The max I pump before is 68ltrs and that's also after driving for another 20km when the re fuel warning is on.
