Possible to change 1.6 fabric seat to 2.0 leather seat with ventilation control around gearknob as well?

The price is like how much?

Thanks info bro.

I am still surveying la bro..need to ask to get the full picture first before i make decision.

Hmmm... i guess perforated seat wont help much in heat dissipation then.

Mind to share your photos and pricing?

Thanks sharing bro!
That cloths carpets remind me of my childhood day.

Honestly, reading your post is just like playing puzzle.
Keep guessing what is the picture trying to tell.

Does anybody knows where can I buy the cover for Fuse ODB cover?



Preferably an original one.

Do quote me if you do.

Thank you.

I have got similar noise too recently. Mine is at the clock assembly, it only make buzzing noise when cruising at low speed on a rough road surface. When press against then it was reduced. Anyway, it might also could be some wiring loosen inside the HU.

Similar problem was encountered by a member in this forum previously, he has got it fixed. I will be addressing this issue be it during my off day or maybe at my next service.

Don't mind please share with us your outcome too on what is happening and how it is fixed upon your visit to SC. Thanks bro.

how long hv u installed bro? how much percent gained in brightness?

I am thinking of changing low beam to Osram night breaker unlimited. Some say it does not last long for the life span.

I am driving 1.6 k3, with ESC turned on all along. I never seen it lights up no matter what speed I was driving at.

120-130 is still stable for this car but engine noise and wind noise is noticeable. At 130-140 I can feel steering vibrations ( I did alignment for free during my first service), after 140 steering vibration no more. I believe balancing is not done properly anyway will get it fixed when times come as I don't always go beyond 130.

I would say this car is reaching its stability limit at 150-160. At this speed, the noise is really loud and if u happen to tackle cornering on highway on this speed (of course not sharp cornering, small to medium small cornering), I some how feel the car some time will shift/shake/sway a little left to right for very short time (maybe half a sec). Initially I thought ESC will intervent and start working, but I did observed several times the instrument cluster does not show any symbol of ESC turned on for a few occasions when the shift/sway/shake happens. I did once to hit 170 for my max.

This car is very noisy when cruising above 100km/h especially the road noise. As noisy as proton wira. Other than the road noise, engine noise is noticeable above 120, while wind noise at 110km/h with very minimal audible tone if u lower down aircond fan speed and turn off the stereo. At 100km/h, the rpm is abt 2.5k so it is audible and not very fuel economic.

1.6 not so powerful in overtaking even if the gas paddle is flat to the floor, u can hear engine roaring and it even hit 6000 rpm but the car does not really go. Even if 2.0 will gv u more power when paddle is pressed heavily but the suspension is making the car not stable when going through uneven road, the car feel like floating.

So after this, I feel like this car is mainly for look, comfort, space, gadgets but not for speeding. So I will not drive so fast unless necessary.

Anybody can share more on your speeding experience?

Normal bro, stated on user manual. Pls get it fueled up possible if not that might hurt your catalytic converter.

I think 80km mild cornering still ok for K3, the ESC symbol will not light up. So I guess your Kx will also behave the same. Tried a few times.

sometime when from static and on 1st gear, I will feel the car suddenly move forward unexpectedly. Could be due to deeper pedal pressed, but after that the car pickup actually not much power. Even when I fully press the gas pedal to flat on the floor and the RPM hitting 6.5k mark, I dont feel much power but rather just engine roaring. Sometime dont really have confident in overtaking or driving out of road if other cars are near. I am using Shell RON 97 all the while

Make sure u check tyre pressure every 2-3 weeks to the right pressure and your car should be safe to tackle mild corner in 60-80km/h.

for now, korean car is good for its looking, gadgets, space and comfort not for handling and power. Maybe it will get improved by next few years as ex M-power chief engineer just joining KIA.

I already know this car will be under power before I purchase, but to me the more important thing will be comfort, space, and luxury, safety and gadgets for this price range. I enjoy drive moderately with my family members and they do feel more comfy if I drive gently.

For now, I think the tyre noise is quite loud on certain road even at 80km/h. Probably will do some sound proofing for this.

changing to quiet tyre can only last certain mileage only, not a permanent solution.

I sat in 2 honda stream, one honda civic prev gen. To my surprise they are not that bad as described on the internet.

Any photo which area done?

Boss, comparing rear boot noise insulation and 4 wheel arches noise insulation, which yield to better noise insulation on tyre noise inside cabin?

U mean changing tyre wont help or 4 wheel arches/fenders sound proofing wont help?

Got it sir!

Of course I am indeed interested to see pictures. If you don't mind, please let us know what material were used and pricing for each compartment.

Do you find any rattling noise that never had before you did the sound proofing? I am kinda skeptical to hear more rattling noise after things had been dismantled and put them back again. Usually it will come with some extra rattling noise for stuff that has been re-installed.

To tackle with tyre roar, better to start with boot first? I am curious that did you done all the fender, floor, and boot sound proof at the same time? If yes, then how would you identify which part yields the best result?
