As far as I know, and I have did a lot of research, Kia or Third Party did not manufacture GPS Head Unit for RHD(Right hand drive) K5. Good news is, there is a team in Malaysia is going to produce one for K5 and is coming out very soon.

By the way... do you know there is a Optima K5 Club Malaysia Facebook Group. Join the group and u can find out more.

BRo SA6Yeuro,

have u see the car in flesh...its ahead turner (atleast for me) , on paper the size almost similar to other d segment car but its looks a bit smaller in real(the smallest d segement? same size as suzuki kisazshi??)

inside quality is better then the old one..

they dont have the test drive unit in manjung perak, but they do allow me to turn on the engine..the engine noise is minimal unless u open the front bonnet..

and definitely u can talk big about the sound system (8 speakers by infinity). The SA play one of the song from Gansterparadise( aCD cetak rompak).. even if u r not an audiophile.. u will move u head following the rythm unconciously..

haiya.. whennn la the testdrive car will arrive???

Malaysia version Kia K5 look very stylish. But cornering is terrible. Noise is also subpar for the price.

mainly due to low profile. try using higher profile like 65 tyres.. noise level sure go down..

Is there sufficient clearance for profile 65, or should change rim size too. Don't know why NAZA don't think the noise will be a negative factor. I found it unbearable!
Imagine having to explain to everyone who gets into the car...."oh don't worry, it's just tyre noise"!

The insulation in our cars is also very poor, no?
