Guys i think we need to think carefully about this warranty concerns. Yes certain things might void the warranty, but best to always check direct with Glenmarie rather than rely on individual service centres or word of mouth. Do keep in mind that its in Kia's interest to maintain the warranty as that ensures repeat servicing for the next 5 yrs. Mind you, Kia service isnt cheap. Ive got a Kia sitting in my home and generally its more expensive than Toyota. The initial servicing will be cheap but once u start changing parts, then ull see the cost increasing. Kia stands to make alot of money by ensuring customers keep coming back to them. So i dont think they would be that quick to void a warranty as they stand to lose as well.

Im also seriously considering the alarm. Its not a foolproof system but it has its advantages. I rather risk voiding the warranty than make it easier for someone to grab my car. But havent put much thought into it. Will need to check with Kia first.
