I went to look at the car yesterday. The SX really has class. The EX looks less luxurious because side door panel all is plastics. SX has leather and fabric lining on the door panel and the 2 color tone dashboard makes it look better. EX is rim cover, you can still peek in to see the black tire base.

Trunk is damn large can sleep inside and comes with anti kidnap feature hahaha ...means the boot can be open from the inside.

My concern is the back view. It seems very small because the trunk is high and if the headrest is pulled up, the view is even more obstructed. Burgerlim whats your experience driving with the backview?

I also test drove the SX model. Too bad the branch I go to lets ppl test a stretch of road less than 2 km sad.gif Anyway tested in a city start/stop condition so didn't rev hard. Acceleration for 1.6L is decent for normal use and should please if you're not a speed demon. Pretty quiet and pickup is smooth. Handling is really nice. Air cond at 21 degrees made my hands icy cold.

haih.... too much story already... sien~~

i just call the toll free 1-800-888-542 and check for my booking....

i : is it true that 2.0 only avaiable next year at Feb /Mar?

She: yes, according to management, currently the info is 2.0 only avaialble on Feb /Mar.

I: then y ur branch said that i could get the car by DEC if i place booking before launching ?? i already settled my downpayment, loan approved and registration number done.

She: ok, actually we do have some stock of 2.0. i will check for you with my stock management department. can you give me your contact number? i will call back for this.

.........
i called at 3.00pm, still waiting for her call.....

I think the blame is on your SA. It is clear that Naza mgt is holding the 2.0L for some reason. But it is your SA that collected your booking and down payment. If they are able to get you your 2.0L then you should applaud the mgt for keeping the word of their non-compliant SA.

1 question, what diff between CBU and CKD?
why so insist CBU???
*
Because Kia does not produce 100% of the car parts. They need external partners and suppliers. Like air cond, brake pads, windscreen, etc .... In Korea the have their own supplier, but when they assemble here, they will try to source from local supplier which will be much cheaper. There are bound to be difference in material of the local supplied product. If local supplier can't meet specifications, they may drop the accessory related to the part.

But it is still a question of how much % of the car is locally assembled.
