QUOTE(Mamapapamsia @ Mar 23 2013, 11:44 AM) Yeap. Elantra 1.6 is srsly pathetic. Can hardly move. 1.8 slightly better but still no real oomph. Just for simple normal crusing. Doesnt really have the oomph in a honda ivtec engine. The forte 1.6 has a terrible engine. Already underpowered summore sucks fuel like water. Cant imagine how much fuel the 2.0 will drink QUOTE(goodguyextremist @ Mar 25 2013, 09:25 PM) What car are you comparing to? Vios 1.5? Elantra 1.6 FC already beaten City and on par with current Altis 1.6 in city driving. Old Forte 1.6 FC somewhere close to non-FL ALtis 1.6 '08. just plain basher, look at how he present his statement. no point explain so much lol.0-100km/h comparison: Elantra 1.6 in 11.5s Forte 1.6 in 11.5s Altis 1.6 in 11.8s Vios 11.8s City 12s Old Forte 1.6 empty weight with full tank is 1261kg. Elantra 1.6 weight 1220kg. New K3 should be similar to Elantra at 1220kg. Elantra 1.6 FC in mild city driving at 12km/L while Forte at 10.6km/L. Heavy traffic jam, both reduced by 1.6km/L more. |

QUOTE(yunodie @ Mar 27 2013, 12:54 PM) its been 9 years. What's 5 mths mean to you? Agreed. If you have around 100k budget, please wait for K3. It has received a few good reviews so far. And is undoubtedly more improved from current model. |

Basically, there are two designs for rear lamp and also the front radiator grille. The model sold in China is rather different compared to what we are going to get. See attached picture for model sold in China. Would you guys rather have this design?Attached thumbnail(s)

Can't wait for this to launch here.My mother always wanted me to get Civic, she said people will look U high if drive Brand H compare to Kia. But I see this Car has more value & feature compare to Civic 1.8. I dont care about the RV. I think my heart has gone to K3. Can't wait but hopefully the rear lights will be the LED Combination not the low specs onehttp://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans...st/viewall.html This post has been edited by AMLAN: Mar 27 2013, 02:16 PM |

The back end of the China K3 looks more balanced. The one without the chrome across the back lights looks weird somehow
