nice review mate... was waiting for ur 1st post after getting ur car

thx for the tips bro. i'll try the SC in kinrara when i do my 1st service later on, nearest from my house. by that time i think a lot of ppl would have done theirs cause my daily commuting route is less than 30km (working day)

would prefer a straight line instead of having the centre round logo there. MF.... short form of the foul letter also hehehhe.

was thinking of something like this
can we ask KM to let us use the grille design?



maybe can use the word 'rising' inside the grille....

to be honest, the whole car booking to delivery process was not quite smooth for quite a few of us here, no thanks to the fact that all the cars are imported but declared as CKD.

if naza had been able to inform buyers their expected date of delivery, ppl might not have high expectation, and would gladly wait for their car. unfortunately what a lot of SA's did was to over promise before and after launching, and ended up not able to meet these promises.

when that happens, it makes no difference whether the SA is good or bad. there are just too many things out of their control.

i'm still reading post where potential buyers are being promised that they can get a CBU, before this date, that date, etc, while KM already mentioned in FB that waiting period is 3-4 months.

maybe the tyre pressure was not adjusted properly when they test drove the car.
my car's tyre pressure was >330 (for all the wheels) when i took the car out from stock yard last thursday.

now that the pressure is down to 220, ride is still firm, but acceptable

now that we've gotten our car, fingers crossed we'll get good support from the service centers

planning to go kinrara or jln tandang one... cause both are nearer to my house compared to the one in puchong.
fortelover did hers in jln tandang, 230, ok leh.

i hope we can bring our own stuff (engine oil etc) but it's not allowed.

oh. so ur next service will be 10,000km also?

i guess it's around the same price then... at the service branches. so for a warranty of 50k km / 2 yrs, hopefully we only need to go to the SCs for 6 times only... if nothing else got problem

congrats bro

don't like the eyes... i think the grille looks better if its chrome edge is surrounded by the black background instead of the champagne gold / yellowish effect on it now.

sorry can't help much bro. pure talking and commenting. my laptop doesn't have a canggih picture editing tools, that's y yesterday only used MS Paint to come out with that sketch

wow good FC u have there! the lowest avg FC i saw on my car today is 8.7l / 100km... that also because it's on LDP that's not jam. avg speed 80+ only though

with a car this size & weight, i'd be happy if end of the day the avg FC is in the range of 8.5 - 9.0l / 100km... see how it goes after 1st service.

by the way regarding the sticker... where is it gonna be? spanning whole length of the rear windscreen top portion, like 4 inches in height? or just some sort of sticker at one corner?

loving the ECM... eyes are much comfortable when driving at night

nah... it's more like a product brochure... not useful at all.

ah... now u reminded me... must ask the tint shop ppl to take note of that sensor when i go there...

guys, info from KM in FB:

Light transmittance (%) SX Grades only.
Windshield: Infrared 51.3, UV 1
Front door glass: Infrared 46, UV 20.1
Rr. door/back glass: Infrared 48.7, UV 22.1

no info on the VLT but if we add our own tint, will we have problem with JPJ later on? can more or less guess that IRR and UVR performance will be better with the extra tint but have a bit of doubt on the VLT...

congrats bro... welcome to the family
i just tried the usb port today. copied some songs into a folder, once plugged the drive into it, the player will automatically play the 1st song in that folder.

*my thumb drive has a lot of other folders. only this folder got songs. the rest are photos.

put into root directory should be able to work also... haven't try that yet. yesterday morning just syok2 plug n try only
my manual reading, haven't reach that part yet... hahahha.

which goes back to my question yesterday morning, regarding the info from KM FB:

Light transmittance (%) SX Grades only.
Windshield: Infrared 51.3, UV 1
Front door glass: Infrared 46, UV 20.1
Rr. door/back glass: Infrared 48.7, UV 22.1

only stated IRR and UVR. no info on VLT... will try to ask KM later...

i haven't refill yet... still using the 1st tank from rawang petronas
will pay attention when i refill next time.

yeap... it's a joy to drive the car... new experience for us

i plan to buy the normal KIA emblem... to suit the steering wheel... need to source for the wheel cap one as well...

we SHOULD NOT be paying these things.
