Something like that. Its a step up loan system. But i think the price is still high. If im gonna pay about RM 220K for the older E90 model, i might as well top up 35K and get the new 320i since there are some major differences.

yea agree.. smile.gif

btw, any idea of the E90 320d? How much are they selling in this promo?

1) I do remember last time discussion going on regarding the tire pressure. So what should be the psi that we need to use for this tire?
2) Try to test power at Plus highway today. When drive at 120km/h I found that the steering wheel is vibrating a bit, is it normal? 
3) I also feel that the car going toward left when I let the car go through without holding the steering wheel? Should I send back to Naza to do the alignment?
4) When I get the car the meter showing its already went through 88km so far. The explanation I get from the sales person is they drive the car for puspakom for inspection and send the car for free tinted. Is the 88km is normal? Is it possible they sell me the test drive car?

1. pressure 240kPa...there is info sticker at the driver side door lock hinge...
2. & 3. Could be alignment, since u said car go towards left...u have to know, that my car (a K5 fyi..hehehe) steering has no vibration when the road is straight and even, at 180km/hr...real stabil car !!!
4. well u can verify that, by measuring the distance from the showroom to the puspakom inspection center he/she claim he/she sent, and the tint shop..mine done 66km..bought it at glenmarie shah alam, and they took it to KL puspakom..no tint thou

240 for all tires

Do the tyres balancing. Ask your SC to settle it for free

3) I also feel that the car going toward left when I let the car go through without holding the steering wheel? Should I send back to Naza to do the alignment?
It is not alignment issues. It is due to camber issues. Ask your SC to settle it for free

4) When I get the car the meter showing its already went through 88km so far. The explanation I get from the sales person is they drive the car for puspakom for inspection and send the car for free tinted. Is the 88km is normal? Is it possible they sell me the test drive car?
88km is reasonable as the car need to be send to puspakom for inspection

3. Alignment and balancing are FOC below 2000km (kia red cube PJ)

Good article bro!!! rclxms.gif
So eventually final FC was 8.126L / 100KM
Anyone know the official average FC for K5?


Added on May 10, 2012, 11:19 amBtw, was the ECO mode on during your drive?

Eco mode only make sense during city drive. With or without Eco mode I guess somehow not making much difference on the fc. Twice I fill up rm120 and manage only 600km with 80% city drive.

Somehow I felt smoother drive with the Eco mode. It prevent sudden jerk when heavy footed and over rev. U can say more uncle style but it helps for me coz 50% time I'm carrying my small boy with me.

Hi everyone,

DJSoo, pls add me into the list Bright Sliver(WWH ****) smile.gif
Got my baby end of Jan-12 & enjoying every moment of it. rclxm9.gif

However i have got some queries as below,

I recently made a trip to Genting, while going to the top in the morning was
no issue(with the paddle shifters engaged), coming back down in the night
with the slight mist had me worried due the lack of responsiveness on
features stated below

1) Static Bending Lights - Making a turn, the static bending lights didn't impress me
at all in the complete darkness. As what is advertised, you eliminate some blind spots
when turning. I don't think it did that at all. Even my front passenger was stating this.

2) Auto Defogging System
I'm not impressed with this system at all. I had to use the wiper to ensure clear visibility
every few seconds because it kept on fogging the front windscreen. This was the major drawback.

Anyone here have experienced any of the above on the way down from Genting during the night ?

Thanks.

Bro, i have opposite feeling regarding Static Bending Lights. I am extremely amazed and happy as mine was just working fine. I kind of like when i straighten my steering wheel, the lights will go dim before it switch off. smile.gif

But i have one question, when will the hill start assist activate? Does it depends on the degree of the slope or any slopes will do?
