Auto cruise is not doing very well in m'sia coz of heavy traffic in our hway...
Need to press the brake frequently plus re-set the auto cruise make it a bit hassle...
Unless u travel frequently at 3am in the morning but then sleepy pulak if everything handle by auto cruise...
So to avoid sleepy set it at 160km/h all the way... thumbup.gif

im still thinking between 1.6SX or 2.0 ....... im worried about under performance if i get 1.6 ...... for 2.0 of coz its much more better but still thinking of the necessity while most of the time i only drive around kl hmm.gif......btw is there any cost issue for maintenance/spare parts/service?? e.g it cost a boom to replace an electronic box  notworthy.gif
*
if most of the time driving in KL, then 1.6 together with downgrade rim to 15/16"... u know la KL has a lot of potholes...
maintenance/service murah jee... parts dunno coz its come with 5yrs warranty & unlimited mileage...
after 5yrs u rich aldy so no need to afraid about cost... nod.gif

warranty not void if using 205/55R16 or 195/65/R15...
other than above size dunno la coz SC will use it as an excuse... they will say not follow specs la, bla bla bla...

never heard owner bring 4 new rims + tires to SC for them to install...
why need kia SC to do it...? go kedai papan & choose any rims + tires u like laaa... can trade-in current rims + tires somemore...

b) reduce humming sound
c) reduce hydroplane
d) can hit potholes happily
