Great to see more n more owners of the wonderful K5. Time to do a write up fr my own experience. After 6 months of driving around, a great korean car. Butttt.... Juz like all great cars, they too hav their fair share of issues. Either its petty or severe. I too suffer the same issue like most K5 owners. Noise of something tt is loosely fitted in the fronts doors n another creaking noise from the driver seat which could be the lumbar support. The auto wipers is not so intellegently auto enuf. At times windscreen is decently blurred wif water but a quick setting to speed up the interval will solve it. Strange. The engine is a bit noisy at cold starts but its ok after a couple of minutes. Timing chain clattering. Gear changes is very smooth n responsive but can b a bit to eager at times. This car understeers quite a bit but then its common wif most FF cars. Its oso due to the weight distribution, front heavy for sure. Now heres the better part of the K5, sound system is great (I m not much of an ICE guy but its definitely good enuf to impress me). Car overall handles well despite its size n suprisingly the engine performance is quite ok after driving it a while. Honestly, to harness the cars power, u hav to drive like the dohc vtec. Below 3.8k, its like any 2.0 NA, above tt rev range, watch the revs touch the red line wif ease. Not fuel friendly but at least u know theres some power at your disposal. Braking power is sufficient but could be better. NVH is quite good (in cabin wise) n the stock Nexen is not as bad its seems. Aquaplaning is good n dry grip is moderate. NVH is better than PS3 n CC5 (yes, i kid u not) Steering nice weighted but at times too much feedback. Once drove up Gurney Plazas multi tiered parking, vibration was so bad it felt as if my steering was going to come off! Well actually the steering adjustment lock came loose. Well other else than this, i feel its a good car n i honestly enjoy driving it. My 1st korean n i m truly impressed. This write up is purely from my own personal experience to share wif fellow owners, potential owners n non believers of korean makes.
