Another 80km to first 1k km biggrin.gif, did a comprehensive test from Kl > Pg. 4 adults include myself.

Best Fc getting so far is 6.1l/100km at average 100-110km/h. Others is around 6.5-7.8l/100km

Guess now can only do service at 1.5 or 1.8k km ;-)

CKD. Only the first batch of the 1.6SX & 2.0SX (mostly roll out at the end of 2009 & early 2010) are CBU unit from Korea...

Provided that u buy a lighter (lightweight) rims, u will get significantly comfy ride, better acceleration, better FC especially for town driving & not to mention the cheaper tire price than the 17" tire. Also i'm less fear if got hole on the road now..last time when use the stock 17" rims, in order to save my rims, i keep swaying left & right to avoid the holes on the road (which is a dangerous maneuver sometime).

But..there is always a but, by downgrading the rims & tires, u might sacrifice a bit on road grip & handling & also the overall styling (looks) of the car  sweat.gif


Added on November 14, 2012, 10:44 am
Yupp..that's the recommended profile for the 17" rim. Increasing the tyre profile (while still using the 17" rims) will give an effect to the car's speedometer & odometer reading, might also alter with handling characteristic & the risk of the tire 'touching' the fender in some situation. The car might look weird also i believe... rolleyes.gif  If u want to increase tire profile, downgrade to 16" is the way to go in which u can use 55 profile tire...

To replace the spare rims, buy any 17", 16" @ 15" rim with PCD 114.3 x 5 stud (holes) will do (of course with suitable tire profile)..it's meant for temporary use anyway.

What is the good, cheaper, lighter, reliable brand of 17 rim I should get? I have no knowledge about RIM.

impossible 100 per car. i heard is around 2000 per car. free insurance and road tax is from the company not the sa so wont affect their earning margin.

Not really...its depend on monthly incentive set by Naza to dealer...last month 4k discount exclude insurance rebate....1.6sx margin is a lot higher than 2.0....

Haiz, i just happily book one recently, and my friend who are proud owner of City, Vios and Myvi give me the wtf u r so stupid look, and give me the above comment. And they went on and on how great City handles, how amazing FC vios can achieve, how better Myvi sound proof is better compare with forte. And they even comment about after the 5 years warranty, forte's engine is guarantee to break down ( as they stated korean manufacturer always offer all the great feature one can think of but minus the quality ). Now, i m starting to think i have make the right choice..sigh >.<

No worries, think of all that when I book the car. But now what can you say!! Just love it. The sound proof is good that's why ppl can hear rattling sound when it's so light. Handling better that most of the C segment car out there, Thanks to the ESP and low profile tyre. And all those accessories which you just can't hope for in city or vios.

You can also ask your fren to look at this ... One after another ...

Conclusion? There is no perfect car. Buy and drive to your liking. Do not listen to those naysayers that put you down. Enjoy the ride smile.gif


Added on November 14, 2012, 10:57 pmLast month 4k cash? Really?! That means this month's offer is lower, because the cost for insurance and road tax is no where near 4k leh ... :'(

I have been checking naza kia's website for past few weeks. Why is it constantly stating "no special offer"? Have any of u ever seen them run any official promotion In their website, and thereby make the same offer available at all states?

My advice is subscribe to those car wash center that give u annual wash, Polish n wax package membership. Coating will not make your paintwork invincible n swirl free...water mark still will stick...moreover u need extra careful with ur maintenance. ..need to wash with special shampoo...else those Rm few Buck car wash will damage ur coating...
