Hi all
Joining the club. Booked my silver K5 on Dec 28 when it was launched and collected car on Feb 16. Been driving around ever since and love it.
To all new owners, because its very low, always be careful when you go over bump. Hit my bottom too when exiting Empire basement shopping mall car park. Heart wrenching. Be warned
Another question to other fellow owners - the sounds from the driver and passenger speaker sounds muffled and unclear. It is configured naturally this way? the SA let me hear the sounds from other optima and it sounded the same.
Thxs
Regards
Nick

QUOTE(SA6YEuro @ Jun 21 2012, 10:19 PM) Welcome mate. If u referrin the radio, then yes. Mine is oso somewat muffled or bass heavy. Best settings for me, bass +3, mid +9, treble +10 n fader +4 rear. If u notice, radio volume needs to be up fr 8-10 range for decent listening. Where as mp3, 8 is loud enuf, 10 if u dun wanna hear ur wife nag. Juz kiddin. Lol... Thanks SA6YEuro - what's the best settings to drown out the wife's nagging?....hahahaha Will try out your settings on my radio tonight. Thxs so much for the advice By the way, wife hates the head rest and says it's not comfortable and I have to reverse the head rest which looks damn ugly. Anyone facing the same problem and any suggested solution? I know its either change the headrest or change the wife.....damn, i know i'm gonna miss my wife. So before i make the decision, asking around for advice Thxs Nick |

hi all
Bought the K emblem from eBay - cant wait to install it
I do have one problem - when i switch on the engine after 1 day, there is a foul smell from the aircon but it goes away after a while. Not sure whether something died or from mu bad odour...hahaha
Been facing this for the past 3 weeks now
Not sure where it is coming from

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jul 2 2012, 03:30 PM) There is a small problem with the air vents. I got Kia to adjust them but the outside air still comes in. Many of the Toyota vios also had this problem. IM also now getting that bad smell from the aircon for about 10 secs after switching on the aircon after leaving the car for about 5 hrs. Gonna get it checked out this week. I had the same problem with my Vios. Yup Yup - that's the smell problem that i am experiencing. It always last for about 5-10 secs after you switch on the engine and more apparent if you have not driven for a couple of hours. After that, the smell is completely gone. Will change the air filter once i go for my second service and see whether it will resolve the issue Cheers Nick |

Saw a Pearl white K5 on the road in front of PJ Hilton today around 445pm. WWH. Has a K5 emblem and noticed back light has chrome outline Does this belong to any of you here? Next time, we must establish some kind of optima brotherhood sign to identify each other - maybe we should honk 3 times if we see another optima  Nick |
