If K3 1.6 price is more than 100k, I rather buy Elantra instead.

Guys, its almost 99% certain that all Hyundai GDI engines will not make it to Bolehland… no thanks to your high sulfur content gasoline. Even your Vpower and Caltex 97octane Techron can’t make the grade.

Here in SG, our local Hyundai and Kia dealerships have issued a service reminder to all customers who purchased GDI engines Hyundai and Kia models.
A reminder note is included in the glovebox of every new Veloster/Veloster Turbo, i40 GDI, Kia Sorento 2.4GDI on the day of new car delivery. The note reminds customers to refrain from using Bolehland fuel on a long term, consecutive basis. The note also detailed the possible damage to the Direct injectors if high sulfur fuel is used repeatedly. Our local service advisors will remind customers about this whenever they send their cars in for svcs as well.
GDI engines requires Euro 4 and above fuel quality to work properly. SG gasoline quality has just been certified Euro 4 while our diseal are Euro 5.

inside source? I thought naza policy is to sell kia cars cheaper than hyundai counterparts in msia? if 10-15k increase there is not much WOW effect anymore i guess.

buyer gets a better specced(slightly) car but has to deal with the one of the worst aftersales provider in msia  

KIA is now moving away from the "cheap car" tag it used to be many years ago. It's no longer an alternative choice to Protons or Peroduas buyers, rather it's taking the Japs makes head-on in competition for market share.  Therefore, we cannot continue to expect KIA to be cheap and cheaper anymore. Rather, we should be looking at the specs of the car before we jump into any conclusion to say it's overpriced and other makes/models are better buys.

Auto consumers are more spec hungry these days. A typical example can be seen in the sales of Rio SX (premium spec) as compared to Rio EX (standard spec). Total sales of Rio SX is at least 70-75% compared to EX. Customers are willing to pay more (in this instance, 6K extra) to get features like start-stop button, sun-roof, auto defogger, 17" rims, fog lamp.

Though some of you may disagree, much have improved on the after-sales side. But it can be better, and KIA is striving towards that goal.

msia buyers are price sensitive too. honda jazz petrol engine, need i say more?

price same with competitors..then start compare specs lorr

naza kia VS SDhyundai aftersales, id vote for hyundai

PS have not driven both so....  

Another typical hearsay driver

first hand exp? do tell

i know i can get this information if i do google a bit. But am a bit lazy ... lol

Just wondering, comparing the K3 with Altis, which is bigger in terms of size?

Hi Guys, anyone of you experience that the weird sound "wom wom wom" coming from front tires and subsequently the noise inside the car higher even with medium speed say 80 km/h, and the radio volume relatively unclear?

It was happened to me recently after drove for 30,000km. I am suspected the bearing got problem. Anyone can explain?

The K3 is bigger compare to Altis,Civic also Preve.

The Length:- 4560MM
Width:- 1780MM
Wheelbase:- 2700MM (Same like Elantra & CIVIC FD)

So it will look gorgeous at road

thx for the info bro ...

price same with competitors..then start compare specs lorr

Does new K3 will offer 3 or 5 yr free maintenance service (parts & labour) like what M did after launch? Any idea?

Warranty should be 5 yr warranty by right now?
