Yes the front passenger seat is quite low. But take it as a safety feature. The less amount of body exposed above the side window the better.well, regarding the seat...my wife n i don't have this problem cos we both are 5'7" and 6' tall...so can see front clearly even the seat is low..but till now still can't get used to its front whenever i wan to park, scared to scratch the front bottom.

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jul 28 2012, 08:21 AM) Guys, ive got something to share about the Optima auto transmission. I did a test yesterday. I made the following conclusions: I just tried. I felt the samething as you felt. Using gear shift does feel more power compared to using paddle shift.1) If you use the paddle shifters to manually change gears, the gearbox automatically up shifts when the RPM is high enough 2) If you use the gear itself (+,-), the auto upshifts are only for the Gear 1, 2 & 3 while it will hold at either 4,5 & 6 unless you upshift yourself 3) I found the acceleration in the first 3 gears is better using the gear shifting compared to the paddle shifters i was quite impressed with the acceleration using the gear shifts as compared to the paddle shifters. I think it really harnesses the 163Hp and 198Nm of torque available (at its set RPM's). Has anybody tried this before? Added on July 31, 2012, 10:41 pm QUOTE(alanang @ Jul 27 2012, 01:09 PM) Does anybody know the size for the number plate for K5? I'm thinking of customizing a new set of number plates (with the holder) for the K5 for a friend as a birthday present. QUOTE(alanang @ Jul 28 2012, 05:38 PM) Aiyah, no one can help me on this ah? Can someone please provide me the dimension of the original plate that came with the car .. that could help me at least. Thanks in advance. Accessories shop would know the dimension when you mention you want to put into the number plate holder. As far as I know is standard size. If is not standard size, then no point asking us, ours could be different than yours. By the way, mine is 51.5cm long and 11cm tall. Hope it helps.This post has been edited by bUGG: Jul 31 2012, 10:43 PM |

Ranging from 980 to 3800 for autofoam, separate charge for sound proofing... The effect was great... Worth every penny spent...

Is it ok to drive around 110km/h before the 1000km? I just did that for 15 mins on the highway.
