Paisehhh... Why not bring in 2.0T with 150k price tag ?
1.6T with 150k will make people run away...
NAZA nvr learn frm Veloster...

Well, that's the good thing about this place, to share experiences from all aspects and user types. I'm sure the inputs are appreciated

Hello, just have question. My right side mirror is not flipping open. Any quick fixes for this before i go to the sc to properly fix the issue.

The idea is to get more power without increasing the engine size, hence maintaining the FC.
Naza already has the K3 2.0 in the lineup, so they really have to offer something different. A turbo engine really adds another sports dimension to the car rather than a conventional 2.0, wouldn't you agree?. Anyway 150K is just an estimation. It could well be below that figure, coupled with some discounts along the way, that will be the hope.

I think Veloster is not doing as well as it aspires to be due to its somewhat unconventional design of a rounded rear end. The Koup is totally different in the design department and will appeal to those looking for sports sedan. But then again, I don't expect Naza to sell this model in big volume and it will probably come in the form of CBU (fully imported). This model could just be something to excite the market and alleviate the KIA brand name.

Well, I think this is a good Publicity Stunt from KIA and perhaps showing to the world that they do have a 1.6l Turbo + Transmission to offer.

It would be interesting in the future if the K3 facelift is offered in a 1.6l turbo variant.
That would probably be the game plan for KIA in the future I think.

how i wish they maintain the LED rear light in kx version

mean only left side can flip ?

yes, the right sight seems to be stuck in the closed position. Sort of dangerous when i can't see the back while changing lanes

is langsung cannot move or got sound during you press the button but it wont flip ?

May I know any member here found right hand drive head unit cover?
Plan to change the head unit player

finally managed to get it working after messing with the mirror direction control first. Got sound but doesn't move. Gets stuck again after lock the doors

Basically I think our cars, the lower ranges between 1.5 to 3.5 is mainly for cruising whilst if you want to overtake or really get the most out of the engine, you'd have to take it beyond 4.5.

Another thing what I seem to have noticed is that there is some adaptation that happens as you drive. This may end up influencing your pick up or perceived pick up. My observations could be wrong, so if anyone else felt something else, do feel free to correct. What I can see is the car will relax it's throttle response after a long duration of constant driving and constant pattern. I.e if you drive down a highway for 2-3 hours, you'd find the car become somewhat lethargic. But nothing a restart can't sort out. My guess is that the ECM is adapting to driving conditions. This bit I noticed quite a few times.

Also for petrol, I found that if we intend to use RON 97, best to give it car a ECM reset. It helps it learn again from scratch. I found when I initially used RON 97, it gave me 540 KM, not much diff from 95. I did a TCM, ECM, BMS reset, numbers went right up to 600+ and real world range also increased. Just my 2 cents (with no GST)

Very unlikely for Naza to introduce turbo engine for 1.6 K3 sedan facelift (if any in future) as that would increase the cost significantly and priced it beyond what people are willing to pay for an everyday/general use C-segment car. The Koup however is different as it caters to a specific segment of performance car, call it Fast and Furious generation if you'd like.

Personally, and from a sales perspective, I 'd like to see Naza bringing in a different version of the Rio Sedan (also known as K2 in China). This B-segment model would then be able to compete head on with City and Vios for market share, if priced competitively.

Thanks for the advice bro! Really appreciate!
My car done ecoat, so far 1 month+, washing on own. Is pretty easy to wash when you have coating. Only thing taking me longer time is the body kit side near tyre, got splashed with some liquid during heavy rain I suspect. It mixed with the grease on the road I think and when it dried its very hard to wash away using the car wash shampoo. In the end use the car polish and easily got clean.

Depends which polo hatchback u talking about. If u are talking about the CkD 1.6 polo hatch then mayb u can beat him la because that engine is tuned to be fuel efficient and the gearbox is those normal gearbox hence the shifts are slower.

If ur talking about the 1.2 TSI hatch, i can say that he will smoke u left right center day in day out.

Absolutely no match at all for the 1.2 TSI whether its ur 1.6 or 2.0 cerato.

U r probably right that it was a ckd 1.6 hatchback Polo that i had beaten. But it's not supposed to as it is a smaller and lighter Germany car.
This reflects that Cerato 1.6 is not a sluggish, poor performance car as many might imagine because of its size and being Korean built. Somemore it has many hightech and safety features plus stylish look and comfort that many costlier cars that do not have.
The 5th and 6th gears are good for gliding and mainly for fuel economy I believe.

i went to kia showroom to ask about rebate

not so much rebate offered compare to ford

they told me kia KX3 stop selling already

Please PM me. I have Cerato KX stock. Thanks

Guys, anyone have experience tight shifting of AT from P to R? I noticed mine is very tight when shifting from P to R when my car is parked slightly decline/incline. Is this normal?

that is normal..most probably because your car is stopped on the gearbox parking pawl..to prevent this u can try pulling the hand brake fully tight to prevent the car rolling backward/forward and stopped on the gearbox parking pawl..
