Guys,
After almost a month crack my head to finalize between Accord and K5 and after almost a month waiting for my K5, finally got my car today morning. My K5 BS color with BLR plats number. Few things I would like to get advice from the current owners:

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?

went for 1st 1k service at the Kinrara service center. took almost 3 hours for them to do the service. i do complain about the car alignmnet and stearing vibration. the tech took my car for a drive and believe took almost 20 min to come back (maybe he enjoy driving k5) . they told me need to so alignment and balancing. FOC for bellow 2000km but they dont have the facilities to do in kinrara service center. they need to bring the car to the 3rd party to do it. unfortunetly i cant wait any more so, plan to go this weeked to do the alignment and balancing. just not happy that it took almost 3 hour to do a simple normal service. the good thing is , the service guy is very polite and say sorry for he delay since they have lot of car to handly that day. he charge me RM23+ . for the 1st service. i believe K5 required 4.2 L oil, accoring to the service center, i need to purchase 5L and they will retun back the 0.8L to me so i can use it during the next service,but i am lucky enough that they top up me 0.2L FOC for this time.


yesterday try to push the car to the limit, able to reach 180km/h but not dare to push more hard since start smell like rubber burn smell from aircon, the smell is gone in few sec later on. need to go and check with the service center this week about that also.
