Hi Sir,

Will 2014 manufactured K5 FL will cost the same at RM149888. Any idea because
i was informed by SC(Bworth) today that they are unsure. I was very happy of the
upcoming launching after waited for months yet felt very disappointed sad.gif  today
after knowing it was 2013 manufactured.

Please any SC could help to advice...Million thanks... smile.gif

I believe Naza Kia will not do that kind of stupidity action by increasing the price after 2 months of official launching.

Most probably SC(Bworth) made up the story so that you will place the order.

Cheers!

Sorry not to stir here but Sonata 2.4 Sports is also selling at the same price, what would be your reason of choosing K5 over it?

Bro, I just checked from http://www.hyundai.com.my/ModelsSonataInfo.aspx , the Sonata 2.4 sport will cost you RM17xxxx, no way k5 is selling that kind of price... icon_rolleyes.gif

If you compare the spec between K5 and sonata, k5 gives u every penny you spend on it, worth it! tongue.gif

i wanna share something, i had my engine replaced due to engine defect. Engine knocking sound, after a month in workshop they said engine crankshaft defect. Mine is nu cvvl, now even after replaced with new engine i still hear the knocking sound intermittently. Korean car quality still lacking behind. This is real story. Now i m damn dissapointed., i dunno what to do. By the way my car is just 1 year old. Engine replaced last 4 mths ago.

Since the engine is covered for 5 years, so keep pushing or complain to nazakia...

Btw, do you alway go to the same petrol station to pump the fuel?

Cheers!

I think you have to upload to those files/pictures hosting site, such as photobucket,... or even your dropbox, and put the link here...

I saw him posted in K5 Club fb. He should be able find the answer/solution if he posts his engine problem report there.

But frankly speaking, I never see that kind of damage at all, so I believe it was due to either the wrong installation or materials defect...

Cheers!

hi, im new here.. finally completed all the neccesary arrangemt for the new K5 now just waiting for it to arrive at my doorstep hopefully by end of this week.. is there any advise i should consider in maintaning the K5 since im a first time kia user?
i was a little dissapointed cause couldnt get the white color cause it was out of stock even though i booked it just 2 days after its launching and end up i took the satin metal..
*
First advice, Check your four tires pressure when you get your new fl K5. Check your car user manual what is the exact tire pressure you need to pump in.

Cheers!

Do you guys change back the original KIA brake pads or use other brand? Any recommendation? And where to change?
*
You can choose "Hi-Q" brand, also made in Korea and the price is much cheaper compare to original brake pad.

Cheers!

I would advice you to go to others SC. IF SCs still can't solve it, just report it to Nazakia.

Cheers!

Hi all. I've been postponing my car purchase for a year now and am very impressed by the FL K5 only to realize it does not come with a built in GPS  doh.gif

That said, I've made some enquiries and am still keen to make the purchase soon. Read thru the front page and saw all the tips when buying new KIA cars.

FYI, my previous cars were Kelisa, City & 308T, so this will be my 4th make and am giving Kia a chance. Two cars are making me doubt my decision though which is the Civic Navi 2.0S and the Altis 2.0V with optional Nav both about RM 10k cheaper. Besides the airbags & Infinity sound (I love when they have gadgety stuff built in), should I save the RM 10k or really go for my first D-segment car.
*
The other 2 cars you mentioned are C-segment car, so I believe it isn't fair for them to compare the D-segment car like K5 here tongue.gif biggrin.gif

If you have driven 308T turbo car before, I wonder will you still want to come back NA car? Or just go over to 408T or even 508!

Cheers!

Hi, at that time when I post to the thread I was not aware of much other options (except for the 508 which I did not consider). Had almost wanted to put down a booking fee (but lucky the general process of valuing my car slowed me down), before someone told me bout the new Accord which I did not know.

I'm aware of the segment comparison thats why I asked if its worth the extra 10+ grand to go for a K5 smile.gif
*
If you are comparing the same segment and same cc, such as Camry 2.0L, Accord 2.0L and FL K5, then I tell you I will definitely choose K5 for my money as FL K5 come with more spec and accessories to Camry, and new Accord.

But back to old said, your money your choice. Go to test drive each of the car that fit in your budget.

Cheers!

Just friendly advises :

1.) Once you get your new car, remember to lower your 4 tires pressure to 31-33 psi.

2.) When you park your new K5, be more careful, as K5 "car head" is bit longer.

Cheers!
