if its just between the Kimchis, K5 would definitely be the better choice. more specs and better looks. reliability wise, well..kimchis

I love to see people defend Optima.. nice

The agent told me that they are having a rebates of 2888 for K5 currently. is there any better offer than this at the moment?

Interms of spec, K5 got more features and better safety features. Interms ok look, K5 looks sporty, sonata looks elegant. I go for K5

camry

Go for KIA.com.my website .. Send enquiry for test drive .. They will arrange for u.

for me I choose K5, design ...

As Cybermaster said, sonata launch it 1year early than K5, sure on the road will more than K5

Also due to K5 have a shipment and AP issue delay the stock ..that 's why ..

if i got money, i go K5

From AutoWorld

Get Optima, trust me.

Tama, u own one? May I know what make you say so?

I also own an Optima. I test drive the car 9 times and did many months of research before i made my decision.

not a korean car hater but can call me that

performance wise, maybe i believe sonata better, also the looks

unless u wanna use till that car died, go ahead but if wanna change to another car later, better go for

"better value car" i.e maybe japanese car?

sorry not to bash but just my thinking, ignore if im just anoyying

Just went to see the new civic. I think that it is overprice as well. No surprise.....

This applies when you compare Korean and Japanese...

Wow... tuned by porsche ? that's why la the handling is quite good....

Actually my father is considering Lexus RX too.... But he was shocked that the Sorento's handling is much better... Altough interior materials Sorento can't beat RX (LOL price also more than double)...

So he decided to go for Sorento and deciding to buy a Merc or Audi sedan....

I die2 convince him Sorento gooding.... Of coz he won't believe.... But after test drive...haha.... so TS, test drive matters....

He even asked me if Kia K9 will be available in Malaysia....haha

I myself is considering Koup, K5 or New Ranger..... Lotsa choices now... headache....

test drive and you will know

Not sure if that applies to the Optima though. Im not really impressed with the Optima handling. Yes its better than most but the jumpy steering issue doesnt give me much confidence.

I do not own a Optima, I own a Camry. Undoubtedly, Optima is not as comfy as Camry. But interior design, exterior design, safety, features, outlook, money value and many many more is better than Camry.

I live in East Malaysia. Unlike West Msia, my area does not have a 3S centre and even a proper Kia showroom. I do not see a Kia k5 or Sorento in the showroom. Only older models

Ooh i see..... Sorento handling is very good with minimal body roll ( rarely feel )

I'm sure Optima will be good.... U checked at SC dy ?

For me Naza's Red Cube has one of the best customer service in Malaysia.... Very2 good response....
