Previous KIA models do have bad resale value. Really bad. But after Forte 2010 model, the rv is improving. Still not high yet but it's showing good improvements.

If KIA continues to deliver good cars, and NAZA continue to give good services (both are getting better), the rv should go higher.
People also need to open their hearts, give it a try.

Double posted. Sry.

Our family had a 2005 Kia Spectra. The car itself is ok. But some parts wear out too quickly. And service centers were so-so. After 7 years, I changed to Forte. I can really feel the improvements. So far car service also quite good. I guess both Naza & Kia are doing good in raising their game.
Take it from someone who has actually driven an older gen of Kia and now (still) driving the next gen of Kia. Some of my family members were very skeptical when I said want to buy Kia Forte. But once I got the car and let them have a drive, everybody were smiling.
And K3 is a newer gen. So, it should be better than the good Forte.

Agreed! Also, cars look better in front of your eyes compared to on the monitor

A promising feedback from US. Hopefully Malaysian version won't have lower quality.

Some more test drive review. ^^

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.

If you need a C-segt car fast, yes it is worth it.

If you can wait and have around 90k - 100k budget, do wait.

My 2 cents.

Why the marketing promotion for K3 is not out yet? Last time when Rio came out, promotion began more than 1 month prior to launch.

Yep. But news of Rio has been heard on media even before they started the Rio-Roundabout contest. Just felt it's too quiet, considering this is quite a big thing for Naza Kia.

Are we getting the GDI engine for 2.0L?

The engine is MPI or GDI?

Aiyah...Japs was also like that last time. Everybody starts from bottom. Some people feel that Korean cars should be given some chances, so they buy lah. Don't you understand the concept of variety?

If you're a stern believer in Japs, or hate Koreans so much, why not stay away from such threads? Save everyone the trouble.

Yup, 6 speed auto.
