I don't understand why some carmakers insists on inundating the steering wheel with buttons. Are we really so busy operating other aspects of the car while we are driving?

It's a road car, not the Millenium Falcon  unsure.gif

There are 14 buttons on that steering wheel, a few years ago a typical mobile phone has less buttons than that!

as believe Kia will strip down most of the feature if K3 on the road of malaysia...
as i can see K3 Korea = K5 Malaysia... somemore going to replace current forte...
i guess the price wont be below RM100k but come with some much of features which almost same with K5 malaysia?

I dont think so. Kia seems to be providing full spec cars in Malaysia compared to other manufacturers. These cars will be CBU so will probably be full spec. Even the K5 is the full spec version.

Even the current Forte 2.0L is 97K , how can the new model be less than 100K. Surely will be more but it will still be worth it considering the specs on offer and the fact that its slightly bigger than the current model.

i referring to 1.6 only as Kia Korea only have 1.6 even for highest spec...
if 1.6 over Rm90k, i may consider other cars instead...

I guess the K3 korea will strip down some of the feature at Malaysia, because seem K3 Korea's feature = K5 Malaysia's feature...
Hence I think Naza wont slap their own face by using new K3 compete with existing K5... doh.gif

when is this coming?

as checked with one of Naza SA, he claimed that may arrive malaysia end of 2013...

Kia K3 are manufactured locally... that why it will rebrand to Naza K3 later...
but still Kia Service Center still will service Naza K3 too as 100% same spec...
at least saved some import tax and have better pricing compare to others... smile.gif
