You mean you were offered 3 models, the K5, Altis or Camry for the same rental but you selected the K5? Sorry to ask, coz your message is not very clear.
*
Altis and Camry belongs to the mid size or standard categories and I need to pay more for rentals.

So he choose k5 coz more cheaper rental than altis n camry…

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.

Coupling ?

Not sure the name but the culprit is a small gear made of rubber.  It is approx 1" diameter.

Apparently the part sudah hancur hence the free play and rattling. 

Replaced the part and now all ok.

confirmed this part

It's clearly an attempt to prolong product life line. Will be interesting to see how many units actually get on the road. IMO I don't think it will be very successful, unless they come up with an exciting deal for present K5 owners.

I hope the Stinger is not delayed too long and miss the boat on sales!

Correct... With 180k price tag, there are 2 people will thinking like below
- for non-turbo driver, they'll go for NA D segment
- for turbo driver, they'll go for 2nd hand/rekon turbo car like evo/wrx

Majoriti of my friends if got bajet around 180-200k, for sure will buy reckon car (bwm/merc too)

Yeah, sadly that is what is happening in Malaysia. Kia will have to let their product do the talking and hopefully it improves their brand positioning.
