Hi, i just went for a test drive at bangsa KIA. The SA who was showing me the car didnt know how to change the LCD display. I wanted to drive with the display showing how much of petrol consumption. However the SA couldnt be bother and asked me to drive. Anyway, after the test drive he asked another SA to help change the dsiplay and it shows 18.1lt/100km.
Question: Is this accurate? What does this mean? Does it mean that according to the last 'drive' the fuel consumption is 18.1lt/100km? My concern is that although NAZA claims the fuel consumption of a K5 is approximately 7.6lt/100km, will this deterioate after time. If it does, how fast will it happen? I remeber seeing someone posted here that his fuel consumption is 10.(something)lt/100km for a 3 months car. Btw, the car i tested in Bangsa Kia is a 2011 and not a 2012 car. |

Dear all K5 fans,
I am considering SG, my only worry is do I need to re-paint my car after say 5 years? I mean they offer 5 years warranty, let say after 5 years all the coating disappear, will the coating eaten up the paint?

QUOTE(feng yun @ Apr 23 2012, 11:25 AM) Hi, I believe this depends on how well you maintain the paint within that 5 years, if you are the sort who regularly wash, polish and park the car indoor during the night/day. Then i dont foresee there is a need to repaint. I regularly clean my car and polish and now after 5 years, after a nice wash. The paint still looks brand new. |

Bro, what i meant is will the sierra glow coating damage the car paint? But my question sounds stupid because coating is suppose to protect the car pain right? |
