have been reading the thread for a while and wow! so many good review on K5, i'm planning to have one somewhere in feb or march this year.. may anybody here suggest the best dealer which can give the best promotion (discount.. etc)? and also the bank who give the lowest interest rates?

Thanks smile.gif

If you can wait till end of April, then you are most probably will be getting 2013 model, but of course less discount.

Cheers!

so i have to use manual if go up? haha, i don't how to drive manual man... karat already sad.gif

but anyway i just check with a friend who drove kia forte.. he told me the spare part freaking expensive. Hmm... he does earn a lot and he said that, make me a bit worry for optima as it is even bigger car.

K5 also come with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty, for the period of 5 years. i suppose we don't have to worry on the parts. and also, 5 years down the road, maybe Kia/ korean parts supplier will be stronger here in Malaysia, hence cheaper spare part?

after getting it done, every button for the steering can still be used back

Optional GPS can be added for those with higher budget

this is nice! rclxms.gif how much different is it with GPS and without it? warranty wise? does it void the warranty?

guys,

want to ask something.. as shown in the LCD in the driver panel.. it say that.. "tire rotation: 64 km".. should i go to SC to do tyre rotation.. or can i just go to other tyre workshop.. i'm afraid if it will avoid warranty
