Thanks PlayMeker!

Guys, i'm just curious. Does your car shudder a little when you put it into D and quickly let go the brake paddle?

And, does you front brakes makes sound when you put it into D and let go your brakes slowly and let the car roll forward slightly?

Just want to make sure, and i'll make a report to KIA if necessary.

JuneSeptember, what type of "sound" you are referring to ? ear-piercing sound ?

Something like, nyeeekk...

Under normal braking there's no sound, but when you try to be gentle, tap your brakes, and let the car roll really slightly, there'll be a "nyyyeeek" sound.

maybe it's time for a Brembo upgrade.

IMO, "nyeeekk" should be related to brake pedal to the brake system, if "nyiiekk" might refer to the disk brake at the wheel position.
However, do refer to your SC.

Hi K5 owners, can someone advice me what is the rated 0-100km/h performance for K5? What is the declared top speed as well?

10.9 sec as stated in brochure

to be honest, if you are looking for a performance car, K5 wasnt wat u want, better get a c segment 2.0 such civic, lancer, mazda3 or etc.. Dsegment is more of comfort and space luxury

Too bad we don't have the turbo variant.... The style does look sporty.

Eh.. wanna ask... if we do not release the Foot Brake, and we still continue to drive, do we have any sound indication or something to remind us about the Foot Brake?

Thanks in advanced

Cant understand why some people like to choose performance car rather than those cars (not just saying K5 but other cars as well) that provide much comfort on the car when now we have all the AES here and there and also the bad traffic in KL, unless they use highway most of the time then they can perform the power of their performance car.

My 2 cents.

I guess it's the acceleration after green light or toll booth and then the heavy break before the traffic ahead that trills some people...

PlayMaker this is human nature lar!
If given the choices to choose who doesn't want power ?

Haha, just saying bro

Dont get me wrong...my query is mainly on understanding how underpower it is. At 10.9s for 0-100 clearly its not that far of from let say the new focus at 9 something second.

For comparison sake as well, my forte 1.6SX 4spd stock is quoted at 12something second & i myself on a good day & road stretch able to hit 180km/h.

even though 80% highway doesnt mean or granted the driver to driver fast all time, have to always remember, your love one are always wait you back home..im travel 80% on highway without worrying AES (mex highway not yet sign any), but i felt guilty all the time when i drive fast.. first ofcos im guilty in law, secondly, i felt guilty to my belove who waiting me at home, and last but not lease, i feel guilty to drive that way to my K5.. hehehe

Yup... you're right. Perhaps that's their choice like what FlyWheel bro said just now

I look at it (speeding) in different perspective. I want to serve d government by giving money & enjoy while doing it. Hence..speeding it is. I'll be glad to pay all d summons i got & enjoy the "Need for speed" that I'm born with. Both parties are happy... me & government.

Anyone trade in their new nexus ? Wonder how much you can trade it for...

But I been driving my wira at 140km/h on PLUS highway most of the time when go out station with few traffic.... I do felt 140 is still a safe speed..
