I had watched the drag race. If you really want to compare the speed, k5 beat honda and camry......

Guys, need some advise from you as my sales agent is going to bring my car tomorrow to the services center to do the tuning from Ron97 to Ron 95. Please let me know whether it is feasible to do so. Or I still can pumped Ron95 without having to do anything to the car.
let us know the outcome ya

Got my new K5 at noon from Vincent today icon_idea.gif

- Like earlier buyers have mentioned, great service, prompt follow ups, responsible.
- Very fast car delivery, in fact too fast from my expectation biggrin.gif (I was in dilemma to wait for another plate number).
- All queries and concerns on the car buying process he has followed thru well and addressed them
- He also gave walk through in detail on all functions and checks with me when taking the car. Left the outlet very satisfied and worry free smile.gif

And I reckon I got by far the best deal, as I have been scouting around for some time at various places. So future new K5 owners, call up Vincent to check for best deal.

Anyway back to the car, it's so awesome I have the urge to sleep in the car tonight! thumbup.gif

Car now about 76k. 

Recently had a problem with my steering.

There was a bit of free play and klunking noise from steering column.

No warranty.

Lucky I didnt send to SC otherwise they will ask me to change whole steering column for x thousands.

Settled outside for RM180.
