I'm also glad I made the right choice. FC quite consistent on 10.5km/L with mostly city driving. Moderate heavy foot. The stock car mats are lousy quality. Gonna custom made a set of good quality carpet mats.

4 year free servicing super worth it... chao chao add up to around 2k...

So so lah. 

 

If you drive 1000km a month, at 10km/L that is 100L of fuel. At 15km/L that is 66L of fuel.

 

So you using extra 34L per month. 34L x 12 months x 10 years = 4080L of petrol extra. Take $2/L, that is only 8k extra petrol cost. 

[Friendstar]

Most people drive 1800-2000km per month based on stats.

 

1000km per month is super low mileage.

[teomingern]

15 km/L? See if that's a one off figure or a consistent figure? And what's the driving pattern like? Mainly highway? Driving in crowded peak hours or off-peak? What's your driving style compared to his? Exchange your car for a few days and you see if you can achieve his fuel consumption figures... maybe when you drive you get about the same as your K3 leh? Ha ha ha... cos the variable is your right foot and how heavy it is?

Any recommendation on car mat? Thinking of getting 3m std at $175.

Yep. Vezel and shuttles FC are well known. 15 is very easy.

 

Same as curretn Mazda skyactiv.

 

15 is quite a norm to be honest.

Wow good deal. Where u get?

[coolbluepica]

Wow good deal. Where u get?

3M type is called coil mat which can get for only $55 from 3A car mats. Personally I don't like coil mats as its not classy and traps dirt and moisture. Car cabin will have a musky smell in time to come. I found the supplier that supplies car mats to C&C for our Kia. Ordered a set of premium quality carpet car mat which the material is those used in BMW / Lexus, thick carpet. For only $160.

 

If you prefer coil mats I can sell you mine? The set which SE gave me.

[KuangFu]

free 4 years servicing?  that is a very good deal.

actually what can we expect from this free servicing? free parts replacement too?

 

I read b4 abt Lancer drivers complaining the high parts replacement charges when they were doing servicing, even my colleague driving GLX having same complain and went else where to do servicing after the 1 year period, as C&C technician kept telling him to change this and that, all in spite of the ride being less than a year old.

 

Initially tot C&C chop carrot but later read somewhere that the technicians were only following their maintenance schedule, so all these part replacements were like specified by manufacturer, not sure if is true.

 

So my question is, does something like this Kia free 4 years servicing including those replacement costs? Any bro here has any comment abt Kia servicing? Do they tell u to do replacement during servicing?
