feel like trading in my City for this K5. f-ing gorgeous!! just like SNSD mannn. tongue.gif cant just take my eyes off the car. drool.gif it'd be perfect if it does include the LCD touchscreen with GPS and all.

the only thing that im so worried now is the after-sale service. in Johor now, any good KIA service centre in JB with good record ha? Honda service in JB (wang loo), i gotta say its superb. but now lookin at my City, arghh not in love with it anymore. it's has been a good 2 and a half year, till i saw this car...

K9 is another KIA flagship that Im so interested in but hell its gonna be close to RM200K or more so K5 would do me good.

havent done. plan to have a view 1st later. dont plan to test drive it yet, later poisoned much la for sure. sweat.gif now doing good research bout this car 1st. biggrin.gif sister is also looking for a new car as well. plan for a forte 6-speed or koup instead of Preve. maintenance also cheap.

apart from the impressive specs, anyone here has the maintenance schedule of prices for this? naza should improve its website la, should put everything there like honda. cars are good but marketing-wise, they're so lousy la imo.

that's the thing..sometime the "home ministry" have more say hahaha. BTW, thanks everyone for the reply. I'm currently based oversea and will be coming back to Malaysia soon (1-3 months time). Was in KL last week to arrange the transfer etc2. I went to local KIA showroom here (Muscat, Oman) perhaps want to share some pics of K5 offered here.

Here goes[attachmentid=2837637][attachmentid=2837638][attachmentid=2837640][attachmentid=2837643]

damn, more options for colours. last week i went to KIA showroom JB, Wang Loo KIA, to book Forte for my sis, then viewed K5 as well. didnt test drive it yet as they didnt have any test drive unit for K5, but it's a bit disappointed only 3 colours are available. The salesman there said the dark blue colour (my best bet) as in the catalog has been phased out by Naza and will be replaced with a lighter sea blue. Is it true? doh.gif

I think the standard is 2.42%. Even if u get 2.40%, the difference is negligible.
*
oh, 2.42% is good already. May i know which bank bro? because salesman quoted me average 2.5% so i decided to survey 1st and i have a good record of payment of my other car at HLB, a Hyundai and the banker there told me the best he could give is 2.46% from 2.48%. Why you guys got alomost close to 2.4? sad.gif Is it because i told him i planned to do a 9 year loan, maybe around 20% dp?

Yup I know cause I driving a white 308. Damn diff to maintain but looks wise is outstanding. Vanity vs Practicality.

still hard to maintain ka if we sierra-glow the white-coloured car? plan to get mine in white too after finishin the Forte deal, but still prefer the dark blue one. NAZA should be more daring lorh, only 3 colours to choose from, that's just absurd to me. you want people to buy your car, give them at least several colours to choose lah doh.gif

I saw 1 White today new number plate on my residence..

ya to me it would be better if K5 could be equipped with the EPS rather than normal hydraulic one. As speed builds up, EPS gets heavier. For normal steering, constant force, even at high speed, therefore handling should be less refined unless we can get used to it. Correct me If im wrong.. hmm.gif
