Go get the K5 ng AutoAccess.. 270+HP oh, 1.8m lang :naughty2:

I agree, the K5 is a lot of car for the price. This was our first choice before finally deciding to get the SF3. Although, I prefer the sleeker and more refined look of the Sonata. The k5 has better rear passenger headroom. A KDM Sonata Turbo is also locally available at Pitstop, it is also very nice.

As per IIHS crash rating both have high marks, but the K5 has better small frontal overlap collision rating over the Sonata.

The Camry failed this test, where the Sonata rated marginal and Optima rated as acceptable.

Any feedback from the few owners of the Optima? This is in my shortlist but the lack of actual local reviews somewhat worries me.

if you want a sedan that drives like a sports car... go for it!
plus... you get the exclusivity of owning a very rare car... it never fails to make heads turn ;)
