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...

yea... 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%..

So fast jump to 2.55%? MBB gave me 2.46% for 9 years just last week.

no dude, all current K5 is fully import (CBU unit), but without GPS/LCD head unit... and most of the head unit u see in youtube is lefthand drive, there is after market head unit ..but im not sure how it works yet.. and most import, will we have to scarify our Infinity sound system or if we install the head unit by our own...

4k LCD HU is with navigation? Man, hope this is true.

Got my car on Monday and have been driving it since. Dunno how to compare to Theta II since mine is on Nu engine and I upgraded from Honda City.

Here's my few observation:

1. NVH is very good
2. The engine (to me) is super quiet during engine startup and idling
3. The Infinity sound system is fantastic
4. The easy access and memory seat really help a tall guy like me
5. BT pairing for IOS and Android are easy, except it doesn't seem to auto connect when I re-enter the car
6. Am lucky did not encounter weird sound from sun roof, or from the internal cabin
7. The tyre is very noisy on wet road but better on a dry road
8. It is not a performance car so do not expect "pull back" feeling from dead stop pick-up
9. Very stable and reaches 160km/hr easily when cruising on highways
10. BT streaming, using the right type of USB to play MP3, will need some manual reading and trial-n-error

I am doing mostly driving with 50/50 highway/city and my 1st full tank seems to be on target to get about 700km if the meter reading on my car is correct. The past couple of days, due to closing of SMART tunnel, has not help with the FC as I was caught in some pretty bad traffic. Maintaining variable speed of not more than 110km/hr 90% most of the time, so I am quite happy with the FC.

Oh.. anyone with white colour have any hard time upkeep their shiny white car?

White is among the most difficult to maintain. Common knowledge.

I m very confuse. I m planning to buy k5 but now I can see a lot of complain n anybody ask b4 for the 2011 kia k5 sale value,is that very low if compare with T or H.Can I ask all of the sifu over here is that the car underpower compare with new T camry or H Accord.I had drive 2007 T camry b4 but I give 3point out of 5 points. pls advice.

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

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 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.

Fully tested my K5 by driving to Cherating and back.
- Raining cats and dogs and even flooded
- Auto Cruise no problem
- speed 120 -140km/h
- tyre still ok but bumpy and noisy abit
- underpowered but still ok
