power is sufficient considering i've driven myvi and saga BLM 1.3 manual, the car is good enough for me..what u mean by dragging?

i drove my friend's exora this few day. Wow, going uphill was a hell... Grrr.... Myvi also change gear like so hard... Let me rephase my word, when go uphill, is the gear transition smooth without going up to high rpm before changing gear like myvi and exora?

Getting a 1.6SX with leather seat forte soon... Undecided over the colours... Spicy red and metal bronze out of my list... Now leaves with 4colours... I love white the most but worry about the maintenance to keep it white all the time... How about the other 3 colours? What is your guys opinion about that?

On another note, heard that Naza had a big argument with KIA last year end on the way Naza not serving KIA's customer up to par. KIA wanted to pull back the distributorship however Naza made a promise to improve in this. This year Naza has set up a special team to take care of KIA's car... This is a great boost to all and to me as well in confidence in after sales support.

good choice but don't ichy heart when the new avante arrive smile.gif

Hehehe.... I don't think I will.... I don't think the avante is going to be cheap... Looking at the trend, it should be more expensive, maybe 1.6 priced at RM88k or RM90k and 1.8 at RM100k. I love avante so so much.... So sad my current situation doesn't permits me to wait... sad.gif

Next target in 4 years time is Tucson... LOL.....biggrin.gif

you taking 1.6 right? i'm still torned between 1.6 and 2.0

gonna test 2.0 this weekend.

yes, am getting 1.6. I think 1.6 is good enough since most of the time, I am alone else with gf.
The 6 speed 1.6 is quite good eh... so no worries about underpower unless you are always going out in group... smile.gif I hardly travel on highway to north and south, so I do not need the cruise control. I save about 10k lor... I change my fabric seat to leather seat like 2.0 for RM1.9k... smile.gif

Hi yeowa, glad you are enjoying your ride. For me, I will be getting a 1.6SX tho a 2.0 would be better but to pay 12K more for power seems a bit much (leather seats, MDPS, cruise control not so important for me).

Only thing is that if I want more power, then have to change rims to 16 inch. I think Kia has done a good job of getting the max power out of this engine mainly through relocating the exhaust headers from the front of the engine to the rear side to shorten the exhaust flow.

BTW, which branch did you get your car? Garmin GPS is a good goodie! :-)
*
From what I understand, there the rim size will not affect the power much... 16 n 17 imch not really a lot... Just that when it come to changing, it will be a big headache as 17 inch tyre more expensive. I love the leather seat of 2.0, so I top up about 2k to get the same.

i thinking if i get the 2.0 and change to a 15 inch rims, would it be ok kah, besides the looks i probably gain on power, speed efficiency and cheaper tyres. Of course Michelin tyres. But probably looks weird.

Anyway i wanna ask. what is the advantage of having bigger rims? is the ride more comfortable? I more of a fuel saver guy. thinking of every way to save petrol. Make the full use of every drop of that golden liquid sprayed into the combustion chamber.
*
Bigger tyre better handling... 16inch should be ok whereas 15inch too small for forte size... Why not getting 1.6? Ur concern about the fuel consumption=cost. 2.0 will consume more petrol right? Unless u always have 4ppl in the car most of the time...smile.gif

1.6 is good enough loo...
