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.

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

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..

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

and why kia sales is good in australia and europe?

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

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 ?

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 .

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
*
Test drove the optima gt already. Turbo car but turbo no oomph.

Does not feel like a turbo car at all.

Since its launch until now, i have only seen 2 optima GT on the road. In fact i have seen more new Merc on the road compared to this. So yea u get the idea la.

K3 like penghabisan stock currently, lots of discount.

*
Yup. Cuz they stop making anymore already. Whatever left over stock is whats available.sales tak laku at all.

Define better engineered. In terms of? Power to weight? weight distribution? Drag coefficient? Kindly share yr technical expertise

Bet u hvn tasted the 2.0T theta GDI turbo from Optima Gt and Stinger
*
Engine dude. Honda engines are famous for a reason. Easy smooth revving engines. I drove the latest city and it was good to drive man.

Basically u feel good when u drive a city. I dont want to discuss specs because paper specs does not tell u how a car drives in real life.

no oomph compared to what?

perhaps the turbo lag is worse than german equivalents but you can't tell me there's no difference compared to 2.0/2.4 NA of equivalent D segments
*
No oomph for what it is. 240hp but feels weak. Its not turbo lag.

2.0L turbo but feels like 1.6 turbo.

Go drive civic 1.5 turbo. That is what i call turbo la.

u feel good, smooth and silent drive until u go to uneven road..your ear will bleed due to lot of dashboard noise.
plus city is famous with suspension problem especially at front passenger and back. open FB group and see a lot of complaint lol
honda city suffers quality issue
p/s: i'm city owner
*
Lol dashboard noise?

Ur got car problem la.

Suspension problem yes. Just go claim warranty. Small matter. Suspension problem can be fixed. A lousy engine cant be fixed.

Get ur priorities right

sad but true, my Camry still kurang few features from my old Forte
Honda engine could be better, but City interior quality worse than myvi, the door metal is as thin as tissue, not everyone talk about engine, some prefer overall experience.

What kinda features ?
