Nope. Main issue is selling my Vios for the right price. Anyway, my earlier target was the WWR number plate which im sure to miss now. So next target is WXA which should arrive sometime in end July. So still got 4 months to go.

you can always buy the number plate first

how do we estimate how many KM left in the car as if its <50km the display will no longer show. isn't that the most crucial info for us to estimate when our petrol will go empty? can we safe to say we can travel another 30-40 KM before deciding to fill petrol?

when ur "distance to empty = 51km", read ur odo, say 1500km...then u can expect to tank out and stall at roadside at 1550km odo...hehe

but when ur "fuel low" indicator lite up, u can expect to pump in ~68ltr of fuel lioaw...so quite close to really tank out..

been receiving sms from Kia-Puchong abt their lucky draw..service there, might get a chance to go Korea

i went to service at puchong too on 6th April. how to enter?

my issue so far is fixed. mechanic mention it's issue with the back frame of the car. they remove, re-align, greased and tighten again. could be during assemble the car it's not done perfectly in Korea factory. i tested on uneven roads with lots of bumps, turns, down/up hill, slow turns and no sound. will drive few more days to test and ensure 100% permanent fix.

if u go to red cube pj look for mechanic name hafiz and he will know what to do. he have solved few K5 that having this same issue previously.

Hi guys...
Been driving my car for 3 weeks already. So far so good. rclxms.gif

Just wanted to share my fc during full city driving. Got around 0.19 cents.

Any1 got a better fc?
*
mind to share how many KM and fuel? With ECO On or Off?

initially i can go up to 680km with rm120 fuel mix city and highway with ECO OFF, but now getting around 620km or less with ECO ON.

some observation, while climbing up genting the engine roars quite loudly. i feel the car a bit too heavy and there is some difficulty in terms of the power/torque. i am using manual mode to go up.

anyone can share their experience?
