I am using a microfiber cloth given by my SA.. so not sure the brand.. Think most microfiber cloth will do.

Does anyone "Rain-x" their top? Dont think there should be any issue with it?

The 2013 model not only no/less discount, may be even higher price ?

Every near year the older model will depreciate more in terms of value. To counter this they give higher discount so that people will buy it. The amount depreciated and the amount of discount may not be the same and is quite subjective.

Hehe... I can understand the excitement. If you want to have your portrait taken with your new K5 just let me know

Just done front camera at KK Lau (http://www.kklau.com.my/)... Now I feel more confident parking heads in....

Its below RM500. Check with them for latest price. Its done within 3 hours

Be patient guys and good luck... Mine waited for a month for the whole process.... December holidays was the culprit....

I went up Genting with 2 adult. use manual mode and only use 2nd and 3rd gear, very smooth and engine is not struggling at all.

So can confirm the 2013 manufactured K5 is the same as the 2012 NU ones?

I drive manual more than 90% of the time and things run so much smoothly with manual...

Does anyone here manage to use usb larger than 4gb?

Hi... anyone here can recommend me what to do with the chip scar on my K5.. this is in front of the hood. Thanks

Hi.. below are my real life data. (Total KM - Litre of petrol for full tank, km/l calculation). Best is 12.88km/l, worse is 9.94km/l during the break in period. I drive 99% semi auto mode. Mostly with shell but not much different

I have the 3 years free service but I think each normal service is slightly below RM300?

My wira is special edition. I had the stock exhaust changed to a small one and the fuel consumption become a lot better.

Gas - WISE (411 - 34.21 - 12.01km/l)
Gas - WISE (456 - 40 - 11.4km/l)
Gas - WISE (500 - 40 - 12.5km/l)
Gas - WISE (391 - 33.165 - 11.79km/l)
Gas - WISE (558 - 40.79 - 13.68km/l)
Gas - Wise (494 - 39.474 - 12.515km/l)
Gas - wise (375 - 33.69 - 11.13km/l)
Gas - wise (454 - 38.45 - 11.81km/l)
Gas - WISE (459 - 41.58 - 11.04km/l)
Gas - WISE (477 - 41.05 - 11.62km/l)

Before change of exhaust below are my fuel consumption

Gas - WISE (445 - 43.785 - 10.16km/l)
Gas - WISE (392 - 42.70 - 9.18km/l)
Gas - WISE (378 - 32.98 - 11.46km/l)
Gas - WISE (479 - 44.87 - 10.66km/l)
Gas - WISE (402 - 41.90 - 9.59km/l)
Gas - WISE (467 - 42.70 - 10.94km/l)
Gas - WISE (421 - 38.64 - 10.89km/l)
Gas - WISE (406 - 41.13 - 9.87km/l)
Gas - WISE (258 - 22.70 - 11.37km/l)
Gas - WISE (425 - 41.08 - 10.35km/l)
Gas - Wise (425 - 42.17 - 10.08km/l)

From the numbers I dont see much different between wira and K5 after my exhaust pipe change. But Wira tend to be slightly better in fuel economy. But I must say driving K5 in semi auto mode really save a lot of petrol compare to fully Auto....
