Anyone tested top speed yet?

Whats the delivery time now for the Optima? As for me the total duration from the time i placed the booking (silver) till the time i collected was exactly 15 days. The extra time was in registering a KL plate from Ipoh. If not, i would have collected the car after 12 days only.

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.
