No he never say

I gotten my car during the last bid process. Total waiting time from COE closing date was exactly 7 working days as promised by SE. If you did not request for the zertona package i think should be earlier. COE close on 5/5. Collect car 16/5. the most excruciating 7 working days of my life.

No he never say

 

What i heard is that they will be pulling the car out on Monday. And from there, then they will know when we are able to collect. Earliest next week but probably week after.

I dun have such issues, if they say alot have this problem they better fix it. Previously I had problem starting up the car. I had to push to N to start and they told me I'm the first and despite leaving car there, they couldnt simulate the problem. All tests showed ok. lol

 

 

The brake sound is small problem, my previous ride has it too. I just hate it when there is a problem and when I send in you have to cheeks to return it to me saying no problem found so never fix. If I can simulate it 100% of the time, how could it even be no problem? It simply meant you are the problem.

 

Lesson learnt, normal servicing, leave with SE. Problem rectification, get the mechanic to test drive with you regardless. I don't have all the time to come back and resolve the same problem over and over again.

 

 

Previously I also had steering alignment problem that the car is veering left despite my steering centered. They returned me say no problem as usual after a few visits. On my last visit, my tires has worn excessively on the left and the new reason is "oh, it is because your tires has worn out. Maybe you want to change tires with us?".

 

In the first place, how can tires worn out on one side if the alignment is centered. Changed new tires outside and went back show them same alignment problem exist, OLD or NEW tires.

Went to C&C today and they couldn't figure out the slight "tok" noise when steering to the right. They said it's a small issue and time consuming to troubleshoot. Don't wanna dismantle and assemble parts on a new car. I guess have to live with it since it's not always ha e the noise , when tested with them the noise didn't appear. Gggrrr.

Thanks Khaitino! Yes im getting SX version. My SE did not recommend me the body kit. I only opt for the solar film.

SX ah? Check the rear boot lip at different angles, sure got sticker marks. Paintwork above rear number plate sure chui. Bumper alignment.

Don't think will take that long. Mine ready 7 days cos got include weekends. It depends also the amount of add-ons that you had. Eg, dash cam , solar film , PPS etc.

My SE said 2 weeks for me to collect car. But of cause when i collect the car i will check thoroughly make sure no addition problem if there's problem i will ask the SE to send it and do it i wont collect it. Till everything is done perfectly. We are buy a near 100k car not a $100 toy car lol..

Dear BluBlak,

You said, "you quoted what Ive aldy said...a hump is a hump regardless high or not...unless its totally flat...dats the difference :a-bang:"

 

A lot of cars have those hateful "humps" in the middle of the back row. But KIA small hump is good like our forumer texted. Stiffens the chasis.

 

I hardly felt the extremely tiny hump. Does not disturb or intrude the comfort of rear passengers. For that, I appreci so much. Agree with you that "a hump is still a hump".

 

But I like it this way. It gives rigidity to the car body and leaves a small tunnel for whatever things that must pass from front to back. So the car can sit a little bit lower for better stability.

 

Accept yr comment and preference. Heard you. And still like it the way it is built

 

Yes agree with dragonflybleu, there is a difference between big and small humps. Let's not look in a sweeping perspective and ignore the minor details...

A small bubble suddenly appear on my windscreen. Went to rikecool to fix it and now it became a blur small patch. The guy said that it will go off after sun bathing. Let's see how it goes.

I've checked with my SE. He says its purchase under Uber or Grab scheme, 85% loan, 3.98% interest. Not recommended if not really using for Uber car as the regulation might change in future and your car will be affected if you are not really using for Uber.

Bo hua one. $965 X 120 months + $9.2k, end up paying $25k more over the span of 10 years.

Any Bros K3 steering have a "Tok" while steering to the right ?

Hi, fellow k3 drivers with push start/stop button. Am i right to say our cars doesnt have the in built steering lock function?

 

My old car used to be able to turn the steering wheel slightly after parking and remove the keys and it will be locked.

 

I drove into jb over the weekend and tried to do the same with the k3 but cant seems to get it.
