Are you sure it is for K5 ?  hmm.gif
I did make a call this week, they said K5 no more stocks for 2011
*
I got another sms from a saleslady at the same branch for RM5000 off on 2011 models.

I went to the showroom today to confirm on it, too bad that lady is not around, a salesguy offered RM4000 off instead of RM5000 on 2011 models. I told him on the discount, he wasn't sure of that, and he'll check first and get back to me soon. And he did stated to me that there's still stock for 2011.

Now trying to convince my wife to this car, with this discount.....

R U sure u wanna get a 2011 with just 5k less?  For my taste it's got to be at least 10%
*
Didn't know about the 2011 which is without rear aircond... so that's out from the list. 2012 then.
Thanks for the info. As for the 10% less... well forget it... since it has less one feature...

It seems lotsa ppl here got this issue with noise from the sunroof....I wonder why Naza not solving this issue before passing the car to the customer upon delivery. Anyway, i got a question abt the car alarm. Does it have siren, if somebody breaks in? Or even breaking of window. Thanks.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2 tyres are rated higher than even the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport. The following article will give you a rough idea:

Stock tyre is 225/45/18, right?. F1 only have 235/45/18 will that be an issue when taking full u turn or corner, will it hit the side walls?

Added on September 22, 2012, 12:50 pmTraction control... Anybody tried it? Test drived vw cars with traction control on corners and roundabout, damn fun without ever stepping on brakes, just floor the accelerator only (of course no cars on the road) K5 traction control, will it be tat good?

I am using Good Year Eagle F1 Assymetric 2. Superb tyre... it really grips on the road. Taking fast corner and driving at rain with confident. If you looking to reduce noise... I am sorry, this is not the tyre u are looking for.

No ultra racing bar yet for K5... maybe by end of this year... hopefully.
*
But would it more quieter than Nexen?
What tyre would be almost as good as F1 but quieter then?

Just asked a workshop on this Ultra Racing bars, which needs 2 day pre-order for 6 bars - which are fixed to the bottom of the car only. Front & Rear Strut (Tower or Sway) bars is not available - bacause it's not easy to do. Dunno when Ultra Racing wants it to be made.

I checked the Elantra forum, peoples there said the FC > 10L/100KM for city drive. This is about same to Forte / Optima. I have a doubt now.

Is this really true on this new engine.... so sudden change with for newly launch of car in Malaysia...

Anyway, exactly when will this new engine be launch anyway, as I am thinking to buy one soon....
but now with this..... which one should I choose then - Theta II or Nu Engine.

Some info from wikipedia :

Theta II engine 2.0 MPI :
163 hp (122 kW; 165 PS) at 6,200 rpm
146 lb·ft (198 N·m) of torque at 4,600 rpm


NU Engine with 2.0 MPI, D-CVVT :
164 hp (122 kW; 166 PS) @ 6,500rpm
148 lb·ft (201 N·m) at 4,800rpm
9% lighter than theta II
3% saving on petrol than theta II

I tot nu engine suppose less HP than theta II ?
*
Yup, it's seems to be less performance.
Theta power kicks in earlier rpm by a very small margin, but these are numbers only. Real life driving feeling, really dunno yet...

Hi all K5 followers

The new K5 spec WILL NOT have the LCD display and built-in GPS. This is from reliable sources. There may be some minor interior changes & enhancement. But can't confirm the actual spec 100% until the car is out at the outlets. The NU engine is confirmed.
*
Tentatively - when will be that be? Wanna buy, but wanna see and try this new car too....
I guess the current model should be cheaper than this coming new model.

Anyone know will it void the warranty if we installed "GPS TRACKER" in the car ?

====> GPS tracker with vibration alarm, speed alarm, tele-cut off car power, SOS alarm etc.
*
As long the alarm interface with the car wiring system - Yes, it would be void.
