Golden Steering Wheel for Peter Schreyer

Bavarian-born Schreyer has been Chief Design Officer at Kia Motors since 2006 and was appointed President of all Hyundai-Kia Design Centres at the beginning of 2013. With overall design responsibility for the world’s fifth largest car manufacturer, Schreyer is only the second designer in the 31-year history of the Golden Steering Wheel to receive the award. Giorgetto Giugiaro received it in 1995.

Peter Schreyer trained at the Munich University of Applied Sciences and the London Royal College of Art, which presented him with an honorary doctorate in 2007. Prior to joining Kia, Schreyer was responsible for the design of pioneering models such as the Audi TT, Volkswagen’s new Beetle and the Volkswagen Passat.

At Kia, Schreyer has developed a design philosophy that stands for simplicity and clarity, which has made a considerable contribution to the success of the brand – in the past five years, Kia has doubled its global sales and in 2012 sold more than 2.7 million cars

If you are not on 2 + 3 year program there is not need to stick to Allianz. Info from SC

Just today i went for 10000km service but my odometer reached 10200km, no problem.

Sc once told me never exceed 1k for each mileage service.

Hahaha. Thought so. Coz most of kia SA r promoting cerato now. But if u guys hv any info on SA who still selling forte, pls do tell. Thx guys.

You may look for second hand...

Normally this is what happen:-

Me: Nornal service.
SC: How much is your millage sir?
Me: 10200
SC: OK (busy writing the service slip)

He will then pass the slip to the service and service drive to the service bay. I don't think they check.

OK just went to SC for 20K service today. I didn't dare to take the risk so I chose to go for service before starting the journey. My ODO was 19952km and paid RM238.50 because got 10% discount. Didn't get any freebies but they gave me back the oil balance, maybe I can use it for my EX5

No more in production..

I tried to over take a VIOS before at 190km/h. Somehow i still feel ok with Forte for 190km/h speed.

i serious wonder why you guys like to speed in highway (no offense) endangering yourself and other...

if want test power better do in sepang track

hope dun end up like this (image from the net)

Cantik. How much? They did not take out the tyre right?

DIY bro... yea i sprayed without removing the tyres.. use 3 cans (RM225)

Without taking off the tyre, how do you not spray the brake discs, the brakes? How did it go all the way to the inside of rim? I can't even wash the inside rim when I want to.

wrap using plastic bags.. u can see the tutorial at youtube. lots of them

Bcoz my hometown is far...
If drive slowly , I'll sleepy and more dangerous to me & others...
I hit divider once in 1998 when i follow 110km/h speed limit...
After that , no turning back...
