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?

Good for you mate. Hill Start assist should activate at any degree of slope.

The side lights only light up when the steering wheel reaches a certain degree of turn. Not sure what it is. Try taking sharper corners and see if it works.

Ok will do.

is always dimmer when is rainy day/wet road. Sometimes I even thaught my car light wasn't on (my old car, haven't received my k5 yet). Maybe also due to mist. I been once to genting when is heavy mist. Seriously, viewing distance is like 2-3 meter only. With high beam is even worst!

Maybe can try at dim parking lot?

Yeah. Will try & find one.

Just do remember that at speeds over 100 kph if you involved in bad accident, our k5 not designed to save you n fmly n other people! Even the 5 star crash safety rating only done at max 80 kph! I have seen enough death, injury n madness on msian roads n overseas to know it is already lottery every time we drive! Please slow down n enjoy the great music system, the scenery n preserve your safety n your loved ones! Even at 80 kph u already traveling at 22 m a second n think about reaction time etc n also defensively about the many kopi o lesen types who share our roads with! That is my view n leave it there! Yes sometimes I go fast but very rarely! Also k5 look better when others can see it n appreciate it's sleek lines , a white bullet at 180 gone too quickly!

Bro, u & i share the same sentiments. Admire the scenery, enjoy the sound system, cruise on the highway while the rest of cruisers admire your car, value life not speeding smile.gif

This has become funny,really. Theres a bunch people here bought the car then talk all moon n shine about it.
Another corner is people who are angry about the shoddy treatment they got from dealers who -there is no other way to say it- lied to the f face
then the owners here tried to play down the lie cases and cover up whole thing just to chill potential buyers. The reason is i believe not to cause panic and scare others and at the same time to save their own ass for being lab rats
one fella even pushed the foruming to a whole new level by constantly and actively bashing a rival model.

A wise act wud be wait till next week as many are promised they will get the cars.a little more wait shudnt be a problem but come next week still no car, then u are advised to pull out all deposit and booking.

Somebody has to pay and it has got to be NOT u.people already bought the car must face the risk of it being rendered worthless down the road.probably change of official brand distributor or worse no more distributor at all.

Bro, firstly inorder for somebody to even care what you are crapping u need to change ur Avatar pix.
It looks like 1 guy trying to kiss another guy. doh.gif

I guess I was among those who turned my head just to admire the look of the car and gave you way. In fact trying hard to catch you up with my tiny Perodua Kelisa  sweat.gif. Yours is SILVER rite? Have you ever traveled using KL- Seremban hway? 

My SA emailed to me a snapped photo of my road tax. WWW***. Just a matter of time to have the same feeling with you guys on the road. Rock n Roll!  brows.gif.
