Never reached 12L/100km. The highest for me is 11.8 while lowest 9.7. That's 85city/15h'way but i'm quite light footed. Haven't done 1st service yet. ODO is around 450km. Expect better fc after the 1st service. Hopefully. Btw, mine is 1.6 sx 6 speed. What's yours?

Added on August 8, 2012, 6:06 amHad the same issue with the usb drive so decided to load my songs onto the microSD card instead. The card is automatically detected and songs will play right where they left off. I think there's a workaround for the usb drive somewhere in either the v11 or v12 forum. U can check them out.

Anyway here's what i did with the microSD.

* Extract microSD from the HU (make sure the engine is off, just to be on the safe side).
* Plug in the microSD into a memory card reader (pc or laptop).
* Launch Winamp player (winamp will detect the card).
* Right click on a chosen song, transfer to the microSD. Repeat this step for other songs.
* Once done, insert the card right back where it belongs (in the HU of course).

That's it. Problem solved for me. By right u can always drag n drop songs onto the microSD bypassing winamp altogether. I chose to use winamp bcoz it's easier to search for songs n album arts will also be loaded with the songs.

Anybody tried soundproofing the doors? Extra foaming/insulation with those mats might get rid of the rattles right? The rattles are annoying!

that's right... let's worry less bout the FC and drive the best possible way we can and enjoy the ride...

haha... that 'lalat' is a pest alright.. really annoying.. thanks again for sharing..

Great!.. will relay this to the SC nearby... thanks..

Just thought of sharing.. got this from the Kia Forte manual downloaded from the net (should be rather similar to ours)

"Distance to empty (if equipped)
This mode indicates the estimated dis-tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 50 km (30 miles), “---” will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to 999 km (30 to 990 miles)"

So.. when the empty indicator starts to blink.. we have roughly less than 50KM range to search for a fuel pump..

Another mod? How heavy is the material? depending on packages sometimes those mats can weigh a few KG... any noticeable reduction in acceleration?

what's the damage?
