Need a little feedback from K5 owners regarding the sun roof. Did you tint it? Does the cabin get too hot or bright if left untinted? Any water leaking problems?

Then..it's ok lah...Maybe we meet up next time. Enjoy yr ride to Melacca. Have a save journey...This yr 1st outstation journey with K5? If it is im sure you will enjoy the ride...

actually can just drop in, i did it online the other day when i checking their service in their website.. and just wan to makesure i wont need to queue and wait

the glass should come tinted, hence there is no need to tint it, unless you want to top it up

cabin doesnt get hot, because there is a shade closet under the sunroof. so the heat doesnt penetrate in.

so far, never heard any leakage in Kia model (old and new).

My advised...Go there early..1st come 1st serve..They won't wait for you to come...

Better don't tint the sun-roof, just scare they over hard press when tint the sunroof that time.. Make ur sunroof got sound, and wanna claim warranty from Kia that time they give many excuse only..

PM me for best deal in penang area

Newbie coming to this thread!!

Got my lovely K5 last week from Penang, it is an unit owned by my friend where she must let go her unit to me because she need to work at overseas starting next week.

Fuel Consumption : Not know how many kms i can go for full tank, the AVG Fuel Consumption shown 7.1L/100km at the highway and after few days driving city now increased to 7.6L/100km, i think it might go further.

Just curious, why when I press "reset" button, the AVG Fuel Consumption not showing data after reset or it can't be reset ?

Ride: The ride is awksome!
Especially with the autocruise the riding at highway make superb easy, my two legs sometimes not working at all

I see here someone did the auto folding side mirror with smart key, I am wonder where can I get it done also ?
Will it also void the 5 years warranty we have with this done ?

congratz bro and welcome to the club..
you can find more good stuff sharing from the K5 owner here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/myk5club/


enjoy your ride:)

yes, auto fold will void ur WIRING warranty .. but as long as engine warranty still cover .. if u willing to give up the wire warranty many thing u can ad on to this beauty .. hehe ..

so how much you took over the car from your friend?

Thanks DJSoo for the info!

Added on October 6, 2012, 10:33 pmMy friend just sold it to me for the price of RM128K, as this is 2012 manufacture with rear air-cond and since she only use it for less than 5 months and total mileage is about 7000km so I think the price is quite justified.

Great price for you but well below market price. Not good for her i guess.

Thanks for your input, however I thought I am not taking any advantage from her since we are good friend, and I would guess if the price for 1 year old optima is depreciate for RM20K or more then the price I bought is not really below market price, adding up the insurance premium is already RM130K. A brand new optima with 55% NCB is about RM141K. So for a half year car I guess RM10K less is quite reasonable.

Really dunno how much is the resale value market price of K5 , since our race is still new..

anyone?

just came back from malacca.. try my K5 up to 200km/hour .. hahah i think it still can go faster but my wife already making a lot of noise.. hehehe.. BTW our K5 have any function of auto lock if forgot to lock the door? my brother forte will auto lock if not lock in certain period.. just wondering.. i've try before but seems not!

All, just booked my k5 last Friday, waiting for loan processing.
This forum is the best info for me about k5, from v1 to v3, which also helps me to make up my mind on this. Hopefully loan will approve earlier.

Any idea what is the interest rate like? Need to budget for glow ...hehe...

You've been ripped off...

The more reasonable price is 120k.. depreciation of 20k...

i got it from PBB is about 2.3% on april , dunno current rate.

hope this help .
