Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear April 1, 2010 Share April 1, 2010 am really looking forward to the 2.0Turbo 274bhp version... but as some has mentioned, Direct Injection still poses some problem... let's wait and see whether the reliability of this engine can be improved...

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear April 1, 2010 Share April 1, 2010 the interior dashboard of the K5/Magentis/Optima really pales in comparison with the i45 brother...and i'm sure the quality is too... and i sure do hope that the rear tail-lights have another design probably for european countries... cos it's quite ugly...at least uglier compared to the version without the signal light and reverse light strip... pianz...

Pisces69 6th Gear April 1, 2010 Share April 1, 2010 I think their design & quality is pretty decent if their price is much lower than the i45. I think the Hyundais r getting a little too pricey nowadays. I wont mind getting the new Optima when the time comes provided the price is right.

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear April 1, 2010 Share April 1, 2010 but seriously lor... no matter how well the Magentis is build (even like the current Innovation model), the interior still don't have the WOW factor as in the i45... and i think Kia is going the hard plastics way...it's claimed to be more durable and 'healthier', but doesn't give the quality impression... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
