Kia looks good, very well designed, interior is good, price is cheaper.

Toyota is reputable.

Which car below rm110k is a good buy?

axia

X70

K3 is a good buy

Right now K3 would be the best, but someone later will mention RV xD. I think post 2012+ kia's car have a good resale value i think.

Kia rv problem dude.
Better avoid it

Altis

surprising K3 is lots better than Altis, if only you are gonna use it for at least 10 years and not hangup about RV.

Any passengers car RM40K onward ain't a good buy, especially bad economy situation, unless commercial vehicles everyday help you make money.

nowadays kimchi car is on par with toyota's reliability already

What a change....kia mentioned in the same line as Toyota....and as an alternative, no less....lol

Anyday Altis.

Myvi. Can buy 2 units with 110k

KIA, cos later when breakdown can post in K you will never buy Kimchi again.

But if buy Altis so boring.

Civic la

K3 is lot better, but exterior i personally prefer Altis

i remember during gst tax holiday + rebate. kia k3 is only at around 90k. what is the price and rebate now?

depends on your requirement.. if you plan to change car every 3-5 years... buy proton.. if around 10 years... buy kia.. if you want a cockroach.. buy altis.. old same shit.. but reliable...

U be sitting in the car more often then looking at it from outside.

civic ketam ..owai

kia, put RV aside, buy car not for RV but for ownself to drive..

Civic 1.8S at RM108k

-carplay & android auto
-6 airbags
-auto headlamp
-good rv
-excellent fuel economy (13km/l town, 18km/l highway)
-super cheap maintenance

think only but the fact that other than toyota / honda / perodua / proton, all other cars have low resale value

for engine k3 1.6 & altis 2.0 use dual valve. not k3 2.0 version. quite good compare traditional engine.

by exterior kia k3 win all hand and look solid but altis also nice.

by interior , kia k3 also win but unkel sure will like altis as it look simple

altis is good car and high rv while k3 win all but rv concern. but who care when you like it then buy la. even you buy VW, BMMer also RV bad.

prepare to strain your back when you move in and out frm your car.

No top up a bit?

Kia k3....drive like sampan. Aircond like shit. Mileage not as good as altis . Also interior got sound one when driving on uneven road

Altis boring interior but more solid than kia k3.

For me I will get the altis.

Dun believe me? I have both.

Top up get Mazda pls.

my old satria is way lower...ok je

110K dont think can get Altis no?

lol the word top up. top up abit buy benz mazda 6 dy

If you buy Altis, u will end-up like lowyat altis thread.. dead.. no comment.. which the car have almost no problem..

Civic, Myvi, K3 , do check out car club thread to observe the reliability..

New Vios is coming soon as i heard salesman going for course/preview to learn about it.

This post has been edited by shinichi88: Oct 31 2018, 09:55 AM

me not car rempit

more like the door sill on the civic is higher
thus you do strain quite a bit to get out

can, base 1.8 model with year end discount......but i went for civic 1.8s instead. mazda 3 base model also around that price too

altis anytime

u compare the resell value u get the answer

btw i heard kia give the customer 50% of original price as trade in value at the 5th year if buy another kia

To be honest, both cars are equally boring af.

no Mazda 3?

waiting for reply buy axia better..rest of the money dump into house loan/FD

K3 are more better

Avoid KIA at all costs.

Kia sell cars based on paper specs to con newbies .

Once u drive the car, u will know why a Kia is still a kia and why honda and toyota are still dominant.

Its the engine and the drive. Kia can copy everything else but its engine and drive still sucks.

I heard newer Kia drives really well now. Even the 50k Picanto handles really well.

side note, when is new Cerato launching?

for the current models?
and why KIA is doing so well in EU?

Mazda 3 la...

get a used kia K5/ optima or sportage?

i drive ugly camry, but look nice outside
last time i drive forte, nice outside, inside oso ugly

doesnt matter la drive few years then change, car update so fast nowadays

have K3 and Camry, feel like i paid RM160K, double price for something worth more or less the same or maybe just slightly better

LOL not sure if its a good thing or bad

k3 and altis same segment?

Both not for spirited driving

Mine k3 2.0. So for sure not double Camry la.

But honestly for Camry I rather go with accord

Eh your k3 got juddering sound when on uneven road?

Up to your preference...
I'm driving Altis and no comment on it.

so far no problem but forte last time ada..can try check stabilizer link/lower arm/related

Can't compare K3 with Mazda 3 la. Mazda inside always feel cramped.
Honda Civic CKD ...pening, malaysia quality, and the worst sound proofing among all.
If want to buy K3, better wait for New K3 . More solid, nicer look too.
Mini Kia Stinger.

Altis just another Altis. Get new Camry better (but not Malaysia version always save cost to earn more version) .

you and your korean car nonsense again haha



btw TS - if you want the best handling in this segment, go for mazda 3 only.

but if you want to get K3, its a good car but don't expect power or handling from it. it's a good comfort cruiser

This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Oct 31 2018, 10:53 AM

yup, Honda car looks good but that is only until you go lurk inside the car FB group.
if still buy then the love for Honda must be strong. their QC really bad.

Mazda focus as driver's car, passenger dont feel good and cramped.
yea new K3 looks really wonderful. in and out all nice.

new Camry looks sporty and aggressive too, thats why i got myself current version, cos i apek already.

the picanto indeed handles and drives better than the current cerato

the cerato is a bit off in terms of handling (even when compared to the previous gen forte)

it's more comfort focused


new cerato definitely next year but don't expect it to be cheap like the current 1

he famous korean car hater since forte days edi.... i think his mindset still stuck at those times


for him jap/german > all

kia edy old tech edy.. honda city still better than it

Agree with you bro,,, if plans to purchase passager car for own used ,,then don't think about resale value ..
Just accept as everyday as renting car from banker ..

For those sohai think about resale value,, it's considered no money ppl buy car,, somemore need to act rich Infront of ppl..

Stating facts.

kevin23, korean car hater till u feel like somebody use a korean car and langgar all his family to death. so any info from him via korean car can dengar saje.

Buy K3

Kia Korean model is getting better than Japan model.
Since a lot 'manner issue' on Japan model.. Takata.. Niken metal issue.. Euro standard issue..


But the problem for Kia in MLY market is Kia under Naza..
that one make a worst for this model...
Naza no more care for their automotive sector...
they are invest and focus on properties currently..


Ya..Kia model still lack of technology on their powertrain section..engine and transmission..
But they boost more on appearance..design..int and exterior since they hire CDO, chief design officer.. ex Audi Top man !!
every one know his name ?? forgot already..

FIXED

been using k3 for 5 years now... never regretted a day getting it... top notch QC, no rattling sound till now... but mine is the CBU unit la...
its a comfort cruiser like many said... if want handling go for mazda3... those korean car haters get facts from their backside one... they either dont own one, or own one from Kia spectra era...

but i say wait for new k3 la, looks great.. else, you get the current version evntho cheaper, next time you see a next gen on the road sure heartache

i will alwiz buy myvi cos
awsm spec
easy to park
comfort
afford
can play mp3
servis centre just outside my house

RV is very important. If i gave u a choice, would u throw 100k away or 10k away?

Wake up la dude. There is a reason why KIA sales is so bad in Malaysia .

new k3 expected to be over 100k, might even be close to civic pricing or more expensive if they bring in the turbo engine

current K3 is selling for like 85 or 90k after discounts i think... that's quite a lot of savings for a C segment

and why kia sales is good in australia and europe?

the problem is not the cars itself but the distributor, naza

my k3 2.0 5 years old. i tell people service center is good nobody believe.

0 problems until now.

RV? fuckuk RV, i can afford to lose money. Talk about RV is for the poor

Jetta TSi can get under 110k

[quote=kevin23,Oct 31 2018, 11:57 AM]

The importance thing is,,

1) how long would you use the car ?
2) do you requesting a fun car or a reliable car ?
3) how much with your monthly budget ?

Peter Schreyer? That is very old news dy.

Hot news is the addition of former BMW ///M division boss Albert Biermann who is heading up Hyundai/KIA's performance models, in particular the KIA Stinger and Hyundai's current and upcoming N models.

The drivetrain and chassis improvements in these models will trickle down to the normal models over the next few year. We already got a first taste of that in the new KIA Picanto.

Such convince.
Much desperate.

/k standard reply
top up a bit, buy Lamborghini Centenario

which service centre u go? Heard a lot of bad reviews about some red cubes eg: PJ and Glenmarie branch

bukan ka dah nak discontinue?

Clear stock unit still ada kat showroom

there probably like a obstacle for Kia anyway..
sure white man dont want to share any technology with Asian people..
they just boost on design appearance only..
not power train technology.

Puchong one not bad la... i just service on Monday... the moment i parked the car, the SA come out straightaway and inspect the car already... i didnt even step into the lobby to wait for turn...

Apart from K3 and Altis, around the RM110k mark are:

VW Jetta (RM121k) conti mah.. hahhaha... with discounts sure below 110k

Hyundai Elantra (RM110k, 114k 124k) go check out some local reviewers, they seem to like it

Mazda 3 (RM 104k-118k) like what others said, very nice to drive

Godcar Civic (RM104-124k)


If you want even better NVH/comfort, shop for lightly used D Segments or ones with crazy deep discounts.

No idea on the Perdana reliability, but its very roomy. Its as long as Jolo's boat though.

kancil

But the problem for Kia in MLY market is Kia under Naza..
All makes under NAZA sure sux!
They only interest of turnover their AP as fast as possible, everything after that can go fly kite!

Go read up / watch overseas reviews of the KIA Stinger and the Hyunda i30 N, where they are regularly benchmarked against their conti peers.

This post has been edited by dares: Oct 31 2018, 12:30 PM

Bobby talks a little bit about Altis, Mazda 3, Jetta etc

Pricing will be same like Hyundai Elantra ?

Even Elantra Turbo faster than Civic, hardly can see the car on the road

k3 FTW. u see on the road very rare to see altis, lol. k3 is better in every way

Because Sime Darby Motors are ran by monkeys.

Cuz its one of the cheapest cars u can get in europe and aus.

Different country , different requirements.
And when u say kia sales is good, how good? Not even top 5 in europe last i checked

How is that good?

kia k3 hands down

design and technology fat better as well

altis got uncle feel look

Nowadays everybody change car every 5 years la. Very rare someone use the same car more than 5 years.

I have driven many cars. Started with Perodua, then Honda , then Volkswagen and now Mercedes.

U all can say what u want but Korean cars still no match for Jap cars. I drove cerato a few times for outstation trip i know immediately that the engineering of the car sucks.honda city is a much better engineered car .

as long as the car is manufactured on / after 2012 ... buy KIA

Dont think theres any obstacles when they can come out with this

Many got their K3 1.6 during tax holiday for 83k or 84k, very good value

The facelifted altis is meh, looks worst than the pre-facelift

Better save the 20-30k for upgrades or go holiday

And who said toyota still good rv? Pls check used car prices

I work with Korean expats. None of them drive any Korean makes. German and UK colleagues will use Conti and Japs.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/264031/...-registrations/

Latest Sept 2018 sales :

Kia sold 48,012
Hyundai sold 45,832

They are the same group, combine both sales, will lose only to VW group sales.

Since u want to compare it that way

U driven the new picanto or optima gt already? Cerato was never known to be a good handling car anyway, and its a bit underpowered

But i dont think u will since in your minset koreans are forever crap
