Impossible.

 

U will still be collecting the car.

 

Its a 100k car. Not a rolls Royce

Agree. You have to collect car no matter what. Cos already registered. If don't collect you lugi only. Not them.

Bros.. anyone of you with Eurostyle HU with GPS. i want to ask one question, does your GPS comes with Traffic Aware option, where it detect traffic changes and will divert ur journey just like google map? I check mine doesn't have but in manual have ley..   

And then there is this meter on the left hand side sometimes goes up and down changes colour from yellow to red. No idea what is that, maybe thats how they tell if got jam or not?

hi bros just to check did anybody bought k3 during the cars at expo event in april and had their car registered or delivered already ? Be it the normal scheme or the uber/grab/platinum scheme ?

 

I bought mine using the uber/grab scheme as my dad want to drive for uber during free time as he is retiring. I got my coe during the 5th May bidding. Settled the balance payment and paperwork but still have no news on the registration. Its been about 2 weeks.

 

Sorry for asking this as i'm still new to this. All my previous cars are 2nd hand. Never bought first hand before. 

 

Hi just to share,

 

My bro bought it during car expo and collected his ride on Vesak day. Secured his coe on 1st bid in may.

the meter should be for GPS signal strength.

 

the GPS has no way to be traffic aware unless you can get it to share your phone's data connection?

 

not sure if it is possible to enable this option with the eurostyle we received.

Thanks for the advise..

[Friendstar]

Thanks for the advise..

To you. It's a 100k car.

 

To the agents, it's just another 100k car. In fact one of the cheapest car.

 

U have very little bargaining power.

I have not collected mine too. I booked it on the 1st day of Expo and got the 1st bid COE.  So far no news from the SE about the collection of the Car.  Anyway, a bit worry about whether have I made a right decision to have bought this car ! Cos yesterday at a parking area in Toa Payoh area met and talked to a driver of the similar car.  He bought 1.5 yrs ago and he mentioned that many electrical problems starting to surface now after coming to 2 yrs.  Eg, Radio reception is very unstable, the remote control key signal, the screen panel off by itself sometimes. Next is the Air-Con issues, sometimes is ok in the morning but sometime not cold but only air flow in the afternoon. Thought had service the air-cond prb, but it seems still come back the same issues after a few weeks again.  Any bro here having similar prbs ?

1. Radio reception will be affected if the halogens headlamps are mod to HID due to electrical noise.

2. Remote control signal due to weak battery or frequent dropping of remote onto the floor.

3. Aircon is on auto climate control, have to turn to max cold if not the air vents will blend hot air into the cabin.

What's the average mileage of a K3? Heard it's around 9.2litre/100km 

It's very much depending on your right leg, but 9.2Lt/100KM is acceptable to me. 

On my trip info indicated 8.2Lt/100KM, but base on manual calculation, i'm getting 44Lt/470KM, that's 9.36Lt/100KM or 10.68KM/Lt, sometime worst.

Im not easy on throttle type of person, i usually rush from point A to B at a shortest possible time, occasionally relax driving. 

I can say K3's road handling is good, compare to my previous ride FD, butt feel better due to the electronics like VSD?

Power wise not so bad if you want to have some fun, but if you decides to save some fuel and drive slowly like change gear at 2K RPM, you'll probably getting abt 44Lt/520KM.  I can fall asleep when cruising below 2K RPM...haha

So if you consider a KIA, dont think too much over FC, if FC is a concerned, go for other make.

I've chosen K3 for the features that brings.

He did mentioned that had changed the battery of the remote control but the signal indicator still showed signal weak ! Anyway, he said very tiring to keep going to service centre for all those electronic prbs that came out on and off .

those who want the current design for k3, I don't think there are many units/colour left to choose from
