i'm considering to get the K5. Currently driving a Civic 1.8 and my fuel consumption is aroun 20cents/liter. how's the fuel consumption like for the K5? worse or better?
what is bugging my mind now is just the fuel consumption, service and after market price.. can anyone sort this out for me?

QUOTE(K5WHITE @ Nov 5 2012, 05:08 PM) full tank rm120 of RON95 petrol can get ~650km on 90%city drive. If heavy footed, or always in rush, can drop to 550~580km. service wise, interval at 10k km, each time with oil and oil filter and gasket ard RM290. A more detailed maintenance cost is at the first page , i think. Been to Glenmarie, Redcube, and kota kemuning service center, both later SCs are willing to hear any complains. Had my allignment done for free even at 6000km at redcube. thanks for the info... anyone thinks the resale value for the car will drop below 90k in 5 years time??

QUOTE(bUGG @ Nov 6 2012, 10:38 PM) I prefer my existing steering over the electric steering. I am the typre prefer the real feeling of the steering. In other words, I like to feel the corners and road. Electric steering can't give me that, the feeling is artificial/fake . from what i can say, different people got different thoughts... haha! anyway K5 is awesome and the only thing that's stopping me now would only be the service & after sales value... poisoning needed here... lol

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?

guys, anyone can share the average fuel consumption for city drive for k5? i have been driving a FD1 for 7 years now and i'm getting around 21cents/km. i'll be happy enough if it hits 18cents for a new car (though i feel there are very less possibility that it may happen  )
