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

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:)

mine is around 2.48% from pbb, approved sept 2012

yea, i wan to know too... especially those that Polisi wont kacao one.. confort heat rate and not so dark..

no DRL ?

well, for me i felt that it is better than aluminium roof, lesser noise compare with my previous proton and or my friend civid, not sre how was it if compare with the similar segment car, any taiko can comment?

bro, may i ask you what is the speed limit that you're looking at? i mean do u drive with top speed all time? as for me, i just tried once on my k5 top speed and it give me around 195 km/h, and fyi, that wasnt the limit yet, i has no balls to stick the pedal to the floor..

but i havent hav any chance to try/see/watch drag race between: k5 2.0 vs sonata 2.0 vs camry 2.0 vs accord 2.0 ..and im looking forwards to see the result, if the result show the difference gab below 1-2sec, i wont say it doesnt make any difference for me, this is D-segment ride, if looking for sporty performance, i wont got for AMG/BMW/AUDI which is outta topic here.

if the performance wasnt an concern, than should compare with the:

1. Pricing
2. Package -internally and externally
3. Safety features
4. confortability
5. design and look
6. accessory

thats my 2cent

i had watch this video during i did my survey on K5 b4 i bought it, but this video is drag between 2.4 & above cars, u can see they use 2.4 turbo GDI engine (similar with sonata 2.4 version), and we didnt have this model in boleh land yet (and not sure if NAZA KIA will bring this in or not)..i really wish to see the drag race/statistic/result on those 2.0 version, personally i test camry and sonata, the result for this 3 model win by k5, camry is too heavy for 0-100 and 4speend auto loss to 6 speed auto interm of long disctance high speed, and i would say i am biased to Optima baby..hehehe

yet i havent tested high speed cornering and touge (uphill &downhill run), but i dont think these car can really take those corner as how c segment does, at least for me cos i dorve c segment for the pass 10 year and my lousy skill cap on c segment only

please dont get me wrong, im not trying to say this is the best car u can have, but as for 2.0, with 6 speed auto, stabilize and traction control, 6 airbag, full sunroof, infinity sound system with 8 speaker, keyless entry, auto light, auto wiper, rear fog light (actually this is quite unique and safety, especially during heavy raining on highway when vincibility is low so the car behind you will notice your car),18' rim, full leather seat, memory seat (this is something fun and just like a toy for me).. and etc, this car is worth and value for your hard-earn money compare with other brand who offer you an cut cost package.

Please do share what/how you feel about this car..sharing is caring

adios

congrats bro, and another satisfied customer from SA Vincent

bro,
the engine get cut off during the car is moving or station? never heard this happen b4, i did few Uturn by daily basis but lucky didnt have this problem b4..please update if you hv find out the cause.. so we can check our car too.. thanks

bro,
my gen2 is campro kosong manual 1.6, bought it in April 2005 and trade in 14k (got few scratches and mudguard need to repair), getting loan from pbb for my k5 with 2.48% interest rate.

Vicent is from kuala selangor branch but he willing to meet up in any place KL if im not mistaken, i meet him in pj seapark/paramouth area, in his boss other brand showroom

bro, try to makesure both usd and the pin is fully incerted... its quite sensitive for my k5, must be insert fully and perfectly..

ThetaII engine is without the engine cover...

well, if KIA can learn what did suzuki done b4, it might have the good second hand value when the brand is well know and recon by the public..

but whos know, maybe Dec 21th 2012 is end of world? why need to worries so much? hehehe

depend your needs dude, if im in your shoe, i will stick with forte now till K5 hav facelift or GDI engine in malaysia

if u're looking at power, go for sonata 2.4L...just my 2cent
