Hi, folks
I'm likely to go for the new Magentis. I'd like to hear from you owners what are the common problems you have so I won't be in for any nasty surprises.
Cheers !

Bro what sort of nasty surprises do you expect of a kia magentis? I'm driving the old one. But so far no nasty surprises, only pleasant surprises . By the way one of my colleagues came up to me yesterday to say that the new mag looks more for "ah peks". I kind of disagree wif him cos I think the new mag is a good looker too.

I am driving the new one. No nasty surprises so far. Even the fc is similar to the previous gen camry I driven. I think the newer korean cars should be quite ok. Maybe those china cars will go nasty surprises.

You know any aftermarket parts for it ?
If I get this car, 1st thing will lower the suspension and upgrade to 17" tyres to improve the handling.

Bro, if Kia have not re-deisgned the lower and wider than usual wheel base and cg profile of 2005 Magentis, you may not necessary lower the suspension.
When turning in many highway interchanges, I can safely keep speed at 70kph-80kph. Unfortunately often got to brake for the car infront struggling with such handling.
