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.

I stopped at the first click. But shouldnt be that much difference right? 5 ltrs?
Your one got bigger tank?

About the grip, this Nexen tire only good if the road is smooth. I test go up Genting and come down genting very enjoyable. If the road jumpy then the stearing also follow jump like can feel the road surface.

I seriously have no idea how you guys could clock 650km... Best i tried was 580km with ECO mode on during traffic jams only. However, FC really did improve with higher mileage. I dislike ECO mode, it makes the car lazy and draggy, so i turn it off all the time. 

Hmm, march sales statistics shows optima K5 only increases 11% from February sales. I expect more than that figure since US already started their own production of K5.

Hi K5 owners,

I'm thinking of upgrading to segment D car from my current ride, and contemplating between accord, teana, sonata and k5. I'm constantly on highway (long distance drive) so I will need something stable and comfortable.

Teana is really comfortable, but the trimming and beige interior not to my liking. Moreover my relative already own one, so gonna skip this. As for Honda, they insist only on 5k interval servicing, even with fully syn. This really turns me down; once a Honda, nvr a Honda again. This narrows down to Sonata and K5. With all the bells and whistles, these 2 clearly win my votes.

My next concern is maintenance. Had a couple of hiccups/bad experience with both SC; my wife drives a Hyundai, my mom has a Naza make. Both cars' spare parts are comparably expensive, but maybe because theirs are older gen. My mom serviced hers at Kia SC BBK Klang, and most of each visits sure diagnosed with a problem, then the techies 'gladly' insist on changing this and that. Less trouble from my wife's car since its a CBU.

I googled up their maintenance chart, only found optima (no idea if its the latest or older gen). Its definitely cheaper than accord. How's sonata compared to k5 in terms of maintenance? Anyone serviced theirs at BBK Klang and what are your experiences with them?

Another point to add 'long range sun/moon roof ' that you hardly find in D segment, my 4 yr old son always look for the sun and moon whenever he step in the car.

First 200km was a highway drive at 140kmph without eco. Then the next 250 was city driving with eco. Then came another 200km highway drive without eco at 140-150kmph. Total mileage is 650km and ive still got 2 bars left on my fuel gauge. Will update final range when i fill up sometime this week. But yes the car consumes much more during city driving despite the eco mode.

What about 100% highway drive?

i think someone did actually...the one who travel outstation wan...think he clocked something like 800km

be careful with the last 50km, as i mentioned before, it is quite accurate..i did embarrassed myself when i tanked out and had to stall my car roadside, luckily nearby house...

i think regardless if the tank is long neck or not, the nozzle at the petrol station works on pressure switch...once the petrol level in the tank reaches the limit, the nozzle will auto trigger cut..unless, u pull your nozzle out a bit, and keep pumping in petrol...

and the 5liter or more probably is the reserve tank other than the actual 70liter tank, hence u get 70+ liter when u pump in, OR the calibration on the petrol kiosk OUT 

hey all the K5 owner!

to those whom changed the nexen tyres, mind to share share the best offer you got for trade-in nexen and the tyre changed? I will do my tyre hunting tomorrow in Klang (am a Klang guy btw)....lets do some comparison.

i find it pretty noisy with mine at 240 pressure, especially after my ride yesterday in NKVE with heavy rain......not really good with wet condition too.

Arigato!

Hmmmm, so 800km is the target. Let's see if I can beat that next week when I go down to JayBee then Pontian before heading back to KL day trip. How many litres is a full tank?

manage to get trade in rm200/pc and 750 for new dunlop asy 2..so need to add in RM2200. From Apex tyre sunway

Just an update. I have now reached 720km with my first full tank of Ron95 with about 50-50 mix driving. The warning light came on when distance to empty was 70km which i think is way too early. Then the distance went blank below 50km (i dont know why they set it this way). But according to earlier readings, i should be able to easily go another 30km before i run out of fuel. Will test it today.

I also rechecked my receipt earlier n found that i had filled in RM 143.79 or 75.6L of fuel in my first full tank to the brim.

I'm still waiting for mine, placed an order for the white from beginning of March till now still no car

today 1 white k5 WWF 92** spotted @ selayang mall area..anyone here?

does sierra glow really that good?
need regular maintainance or not?
currently i'm under shine2 package..already paid RM800 for 2 years membership with 5 times free 4 layer coating coupon..and i'm washing+waxing my car RM30 per week..so
Its difficult for me to believe in sierra glow because i still think that a car need regular wash and waxing

Yuppie, that is confirmed it does come with buzzer if not released
