Dear all,

I woud like to consult you all on something which i have no experience on. I finshed paying for my first car a year ago. The bank has issued me a release letter and also the registration card. Now if i were to trade in my old car for a new k5, do i need to first inform jpj that i have finished paying for my first car?  and can i just allow the SA to settle everything for me?

Thanks.

I have same situation like you where my car been release from bank 3 yrs ago and I have yet inform JPJ. No worry, pay you booking and SA will settle this hassle for you.

For those who still 'ding dong' with optima, you can learn more what the package and features wise. K5 owner like me, sad that we miss some of the cool features but I think it still worth the money with we paid..

Here's the link Kia Optima, Features

If it's the Sonata HS vs the Optima, I'd pick the Optima for sure. But more importantly, have you test driven both cars? You seem to emphasize more on the after sales rather than the sales aspect.

The Optima a whole lot more features compared to the Sonata but since you're family man, I'd like to highlight just a few key features that makes sense to those of us who ferry our loved ones:

1) 6 airbags vs 2 airbags in the Sonata
2) HID which makes it easier to spot objects on the road compared to Sonata's halogen
3) Power seats with memories which makes it so much easier to switch cars with your partner if body size is different

I have driven the Sonata for a short while and test drove the K5 even shorter but from what I can observe, the K5 rewards the driver better in terms of lesser noise intrusion, better cornering and better sound system compared to the Sonata.

Another point to add 'long range sun/moon roof ' that you hardly find in D segment, my 4 yr old son always look for the sun and moon whenever he step in the car.

I believed that there is no big difference in term of maintenance for Sonata and K5 as they are from the same parent company. I service my car in Serdang despite working in Klang. I dont like using Petronas Oil. Haha.
*
Bro irangan, what is the waiting time for the service in Serdang SC? I'm about to go for 1K service and I plan to go on weekday as the SA said Sat is super cloud..

Did anyone install voltage stabiliser and feel that it really improve? Good to invest if it does the job with only RM150. Attached Image

1. Extremely smooth gear change and engine noise.
2. Smoother acceleration.
3. Cooler air cond.
4. Better ignition starting.
5. Faster respond on acceleration. (Can feel the car very light and easy to rev)
6. Can feel the air cond cools faster then previously.
7. Brighter lamp .
8. Better battery life due to less stress during load.
9. Better audio sound due to improved and stable voltage.
10. Possibility of curing aeroplane or hissing noise sometimes in older cars due to noise in circuit.
11. Possibility of curing slow moving power windows due to not enough power.
12. Possibility of curing central locking problem due to not enough power.

That's why I doubt. If the owner of the photo is the forumer here..do share your experience...the workshop is located behind Phoenix plaza, Cheras.

So for those customers that booked earlier got affected with the new price?

Maybe the new NAP (coming soon) is the culprit of this delay? just my thought.

are the emblems easily be stolen or one day drop off? they are with 3M tape right?

well, same way how you replace the ori kia emblem..just took u 2 mins and you lost RM50 each. I think the 3M tape is not as strong the ori one.

K5 emblem is more premium than forte. 3D emblem vs flat emblem.
