QUOTE(Orbituary @ Nov 8 2012, 06:02 PM) yea, do test drive, but test drive is just a short experience and maybe u wont hv chance to those route that u prefer... better if u can test or sit in your friend K5 in a journey... or perhaps do dropby when there is any k5 gathering and etc...  Added on November 8, 2012, 6:03 pmyea... about 2.5%... mine was 2.48% from pbb.. depend on your relationship with the bank.. but i dont think u will get anything lower then 2%.. bro, how's your K5?

From my driving style and point of view, here is my pro and con
Forte 2.0 - lighter and smaller makes it perform better, with build in LCD and GPS, cheaper
K5 Simply beautiful, more stable and quiet on highway but less acceleration. better sound system
Added on November 10, 2012, 11:35 pmBTW... anyone know how much to change the K5 dash to the LCD?

i think the range for K5 and Forte 2.0 is not so near.. of course engine wise it's similar, but take Peugout for example.. they share the same engine for 308, 508, 3008 and all... does it mean its the same range?
i didn't notice but does the old version comes with all the LCD and GPS?

The LCD/GPS is just the interface and the infinity sounds system with 8 speakers will should be able to link to the LCD interface without any issue. The SA from Glenmarie mentioned the GPS/LCD can be installed from 2-4k. 2k are those non-original and 4k are originals.

And, I don't think any of the china factory is producing the right hand drive module now, so got to wait some more huh...

Does anyone facing air con problem on your K5? How did the SC solve it? I am facing the air con issue but SC has no idea to solve it. When egine starts and set air con temp to 22~ 23 deg, feels cold. Then it blows hot air after few minutes, no matter car is in stationary or moving. Even set air con temp to 20 deg, It just feels like a normal cold air.
