Is the backlit of the buttons and toggles of the K5 GT remain red like the current K5?
The backlit color in Blue K5 GT will be same as other color even though the leather seat is of different color? |

I believe this new Optima GT brings Kia to a whole new level.
- Great induction noise and power - Good looking and nicely equipped |

Yup, so true. Typical malaysian dont even bother to check any latest kia vehicles. They are too obsessed with the usual brands and just hantam kia blindly.When i stepped in the GT, i was shocked and in awe. The interior fit and finish, i dare to say it is above VW (at least some of the models). The new sorento & sportage are already good but the optima GT is another level. To back with the car quality, naza needs to improve the service centre. At least make it more comfortable for owners to lepak while waiting their car to be serviced. |

Dear Owners, I already checked out about 5 units of used K5 (year 2013) . One thing I noticed was the aircond. 2 units had a dead aircond compressor and the other two, the aircond was working, but not really that cold even it was put to "Lo".
The sales man said that Optima's compressor is not strong. That's why it's not very cold when it is put to "Lo". True? |

They may cost about the same but maintenance for a Volvo is much higher than for a Kia and you need to be really high income to maintain a Volvo.Rm181k https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid...&id=14779190194 |

Never heard of this issue so far... I did have an Optima for a few days, but that was 2011-12... aircon wasn't much different in behaviour from the Kia Forte I had then... efficient.The sales man said that Optima's compressor is not strong.

Any major problem for this k5 ? Plan to get an used unit year 12 or 13. Maintenance cost is roughly at what range ? Hope some owner can give some advise.
