2.0 (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 10.5 km/litre (9.5 L/100 km), RON95
    I have only driven the following non-Malaysian cars extensively :

    - 2008 Accord and Civic, 2011 Civic and 2013 Accord
    - 2010 Teana and 2013 Teana
    - F30 320i, E9 320i. Only SAT in F10 so far :(
    - 1.6 Elantra and 1.6 Cerato.
    - 2012 Camry

    Therefore my review of the Kia Optima will be based on comparing the list of cars I have driven above[...]
    Steering AND pedal feel is absolutely pathetic in comparison to my mom's Hyundai Elantra. The Kia Optima's steering is ridiculously light, so much so that you can make a u-turn using your INDEX FINGER. Accelerator pedal has too little resistance causing you to rev higher than normal when in a rush (I keep hitting 3k rev in city/town driving by a[...]

Double Cab 2.5L 4x4 AT (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 13.0 km/litre (7.7 L/100 km), Diesel, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
    Excellent fuel economy
    Cheap running and maintenance costs
    Huge cabin space and SUV-like interior
    Easy to drive and park despite its size(my wife's daily drive)
    Although underpowered, the low end and long flat torque curve makes city driving more bearable compared to some high Torque diesel with spike on the powerband
    Underpowered for Highway overtaking.
    Engine sounds like a lorry
    Too many Special Editions makes my X-series Not special

    1- For 1.3 a compact car, performance is good at city drive.
    2- Ride is simply wonderful as this car is great around the bends. It gives you the confident to step on the pedal when taking corners. Always makes me miss driving it haha
    3- Engine is a little bit noisy when accelerating hard but you'll get used to it as time goes by. But when at [...]
    1- The reverse sensors. Doesn't seem to work properly. Alert sound wasn't loud enough.
    2- No fog lights for the Exec variant.
    3- Closer gear ratio.

    My Preve 2012 (1st Batch) bought in July 2012 is already 140,450km....what i can say is:

    -Reliable as i will be reaching 150k km in July (Going to be 3 years)
    -Considered a powerful engine for its class (of course cannot compete with VW or Ford)
    -Good handling compared to many cars in its class
    -Good features and specification
    -Value buy[...]
    - Quality need to be improved (The 2014 and 2015 Preve is much better than mine 2012)
    - Engine is not refine compared to many other cars
    - Push Start features not a real push start.
    - Cabin noise is not well insulated.
    - Fuel consumption is on the higher side for a turbo 1.6 but comparable to a 2.0 NA car.

528i M Sport (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 3 Years
Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), RON97, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    So the time has come for me to finally retire my 2012 MY after 3 years of good motoring.

    Till the day I signed off on the trade of the car, I have to say the looks are really one of the few things that really make this car so special. Unlike the A6 and Merc E class, the BMW has that understated charm to it, making it so elegant and simple yet[...]
    It's not the best in some respects though. For a start, seat comfort is still not the best. I still found the E class with a better of seats - mainly in terms of materials. I always had this against BMW's Dakota leather, it feels worse than the leatherette used in a Porsche - and that's like the cheapest material on a Porsche! I never had this o[...]

    i40 has most specs in one car, valuable car.
    the seat is wide, good rear legroom for passengers
    2.0 GDI Engine, but 2.4cc performance
    car base too low, if 5 person on car, can hit the hump easily
    fuel consumption may higher a bit, as 2.4cc performance, around 9L/100km in city, but 7.8L/100km in highway

Fuel Economy: 18.0 km/litre (5.6 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 700 km/month

    Great space; better than Mazda 2 Skyactive, Toyota Vios and VW Polo.
    P1 Paddock (P1 Center), Address Polo.
    Fuel economy great but 21km/l barely achievable in real world. More 18km/l.
    Good enough steering feel for spirited driving. Good grip and understeer resistance good.
    Ride is quite a good balance b[...]
    Initially engine a bit louder and "growlier" than usual but actually as mileage piles on, the noise subsides. Now at about 4K kilometers, the sound is more muted.
    For the price NVH acceptable. Extra soundproofing might need to be considered.

    Hi guys, its been awhile since i'm planning to do this review for this car model Kia Picanto.
    I maybe going for more into the downside of this particular car to bring "awareness" or "highlight" towards customer or anyone before purchasing this car. In the first place i would like to declare i do not intended to "bad mouth" about this car but to[...]
    -Okay, the main point is here let me start from the important aspect that we face daily basis that is the Fuel Consumption. So Kia claimed that fuel consumption for Auto can get up to 20.7km/l based on 90km/h average so you would be thinking atleast this car could get you a 15km/l or 18km/l right ? If you are thinking this way then you are total[...]

Fuel Economy: 15.0 km/litre (6.7 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
    - Having a manual really releases some power in it. Doesn't mean the auto is underpowered though. Nothing to complain on the engine even if it's a 1.0
    - Very smooth ride, despite a sluggish start on the 1st gear
    - Fuel efficiency is great! I guess it's a good and bad thing that the car is light
    - Body roll while cornering is pretty impressive[...]
    - I feel the ride height is a bit high; if it were lowered, it would definitely be more stable while driving on the highway. I personally won't change it so I won't void any warranties though

    - Lots and lots of axias on[...]
