hmmmmmmm..... i seriously hope so

QUOTE(madman20 @ Nov 8 2009, 11:07 AM)
Should be the same as mentioned by Jimmy..it's quite standard..unless once awhile promotions..

I think the more people buy the car..Kia will bring in more parts..cheaper bulk = cheaper parts..or else..case like Spectra =S
*
hahaha usually when will car gives us problem har? serious problem i mean *touchwood* tongue.gif
but so far i've seen my bro's car nissan doesnt give him much problem also larrr except those wear & tear parts which need to be replaced.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm doh.gif

i also don't know... just heard that there's 300/400 units of CBU... (2 versions)
i picked black... these few days saw a lot of white cars with dirty marks on it..
really ugly... black also not to be easy to maintain... but not so obvious compare to white..
and i consider white as trendy color... black as long green color...
so better pick black la..
*
hahahaha i've just changed my color from grey/brown to white
and 2ndary color is red biggrin.gif

Do check on their service packages, usually more expensive than T & H.

erhmmmm slightly a bit, and they service interval is at 10k instead of 5k like those japs car

well if we can bring our own parts there, den it will be good enough tongue.gif at least for fully synthetic oil it wont cause that much compare to theirs which is about 200

Let's say..after the warranty is over..but we still send back to Kia's service centre..can we bring our own oil?
*

will try that.
so, how will the pay you?
deposit - how many %?
balance - cash or finance, etc?
never tried it but thinking of it since u guys say can fetch better price.

btw, how much more did u get for your car compare to what they wanna trade-in for?
*
hahaha no, they will definitely call u if they interested & might come and view ur car... den from there deal lorrr
depends on how much u're selling lor.... mine is an old junk iswara so cash tongue.gif
well with my old junk selling less than 10k, 3rd party panel offered only 3k, if i can find buyers, i can get double of the price biggrin.gif

I Hope so for you...
nah.. yes.. its tudd.. sound.. but due to the soft rubber door seal i think... ,
you got to remind all friends and anyone sitting in your car to close the door
with feather light strength...(like closing iswara door like tat ...but the door is 300% better in quality i promise..heee..) else.. heart pain lor..
ok lar.. dun think its cheap lor.. but the mechanism seem extra soft like tat...
design intend...
haaaa....
*
hahaha den still ok laa i think biggrin.gif

QUOTE(madman20 @ Nov 9 2009, 04:58 PM)
Yeah..I heard the sound proofing is so-so for the car..but I can live with that xP
Since the car has a keyless entry system..I guess it'll detect if the key is nearby and you're able to push start..
*
ahhaha yeap, well i was hoping even better... no need to manually unlock it using remote, straight away when u walk near the car, and there is this button on the handle itself, meaning when u try to open the door by holding the door handle, it will detect and automatically unlock ur car tongue.gif
den hop it and press start button

One question that struck my mind though..and *TOUCHWOOD KAO KAO* if something happens like this:

1. Keyless failed to work..how do we enter the car?
2. Once in the car..the push-start fails? (If I'm not mistaken..a key slot is hidden under the steering wheel..is this true? And the keyless device is actually a flip-key for backup?)
*
well, keyless fail... use the key lor, manual unlock the car
push start failes, there is still the keyslot entry for u to slot ur key in smile.gif i think laaaaaaaa hahahaha
it should be there one, if not no battery how u gonna start ur car right?

QUOTE(vex @ Nov 9 2009, 05:10 PM)
then if the key no battery, mean no need jalan liao loh ...
anyway, cool feature leh ~

hahahah i dont think so lerrr, they will definitely have alternate ways to start the car
