Yes, 350-370km is about right for 100% city driving. If really driven smoothly and light footed..and maybe not much traffic jam on that particular week u might get  400-420km..  that's my K3 did.

I'm from Penang too! 

After reading on people posting in Kia Malaysia, I see a lot of complain on spare part hard to get and long waiting time or expensive, is it true?

I would say go for the Cerato KX. The City is capable but a 'kosong' car compared to the KX. Don't worry so much about the fuel consumption. Korean cars may consume a little more because they are heavier but you get more safety in a stronger body. If you can buy the car you can afford the small difference in petrol if at all.

If you browse back there is one owner who compared her Cerato 1.6 with City and the Cerato came out favourably. It needs some patience to browse back but the graphic in that post is easy to spot.

Hi keagan, just wondering why did you change the steering rack assembly? Was it because of noise?

Ahh icic..is it like a rattling noise of sorts when you go on certain roads? I sent mine in as well and they say this requires a redesigned part from KIA HQ...

Get K3 and you will not regret it.
Take a look at K3 after a year and you won't feel bored of the look.

The back lights are so sexy

Btw, you are about right on the full tank mileage for pg island .... 350 - 380km for city drive.

bro, you can check my FC from my fuelly signage for more detailed info on how my 1.6 drinks 

oh my drive mainly around pontian and JB plus once a month driving back and forth to my ipoh hometown.

hope this helps.

Well, hope you make a good choice. For 1.6, you do city drive really kills fuel esp on jams and traffic light. Key to FC is step smooth and try to maintain speed, brake less and if possible stop less. This car is quite heavy till if u drive a 1.6, u don't get any pickup power on starting from a stop, instead, u have to wait for the speed to increase to gain momentum. 

Kx Vs city high spec, tough choice, but think for more future and you will make a good choice without regrets. Anyway i been seeing lots a Kx around city lately. Even my trip to jonker steet, saw 2 Kx 

Agree on the Not for speed but for comfort & space. Guess performance might be almost same a less as since same engine. My car going 110 start notice sounds but still at minimum, mainly is the 17" type that is roaring on the road. Basically until 140 the car start to feel uneasy n of course sound gets loud and u'll definately "feel" you are speeding. (i once sit on my friend's focus and i didn't even notice he is speeding until he tells me it's 150 on his meter ).

I guess diff will definately be the handling of Kx & k3 since with esc k3 is definately more stable in corners and wet roads. Kx just really don't have the "feel" of safety when cornering. The car sways on corners (unless u are below 60km). A car's stability will give you the confidence on how you know you can handle in higher speed, drove a focus and definately the car gave a more confidence and safe feel while i accelerate.

Another thing is the car's power to "start moving" from a stop. Basically all cars will easily overtake you if you are to pickup slowly. That's why the underpower feels on overtaking and from a stop. When in a moving jam, everytime when you start gain momentum, the car infront start to stop. Then you crawl to build the momentum again and stops 

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.
