Can share what is your FC?

Also, can elaborate what is ventilated seats?

 

Sorry for so many questions but interested to understand the diff features of this car. It comes with cruise control and memory seats as well right?

mine fluactuates from 7+8+ up to 10+L/100km all depends on where and how i drive tho. but average mine is around 8+9+ with traffic jams and alot of city driving. also boils down to my right foot :pi would quote as i am a heavy right footer

i have a friend he is averging 8+L/100km for 50/50

 

ventilated seats? something like aircon seats or some wind that blows on your back and butt :p

mine is the first batch which is slightly different form current SX model. but yes cruise control and driver memory electrical seats is within the SX model. i would also say i like the front and rear parking sensors and the Smart welcome lighting system is nice to have too ehhe

 

i am actually from the cerato forte 1.6 EX and i upgraded to this k3. personally find alot of improvements.

Thks for the reply and sharing.

 

8plus9plus/100km with plenty of city driving and heavy right foot is ok if you ask me. K3 really value for money cos those features like cruise control, memory seats, ventilated seats are normally for exec car range not 1.6l.

Think can't ask for more!!

Have you tried Elantra before?

I have test drove before and found it ok but I guess K3 more features?

 

FYI, I'm driving a Civic 1.6 now and avg 10+/100km with more City driving and I also heavy right foot. Civic is a great car, pick up excellent but features nowhere near your K3.

Those functions (except cruise) are for the premium version right. Additonal 10k.

Yes I think it's for the SX version which costs more but I don't think Elantra premium version has so much features and the biggest joke in the market now is that K3 has memory seats whilst Benz C180 doesn't!!

Hello all.

 

Just booked my K3 (SX model) last week. Decided to go with the K3 after looking around for a new car to replace my VIOS whose COE is expiring next May. The so call "freebies" I got were the touch screen LCD (comes with GPS, Reverse Cam, DVD), Rikecool solar film & zertona paint protection. Have no idea on the specs for the LCD and the PPS. Also looking around for good DVR, or pop my current Blackvue over.

Quite standard now for the freebies... except I don't have the pps..

 

for in-car camera, I'm looking at the Thinkware...

 

Congrats by the way :)

Thanks. Congrats for getting yours soon too!

 

Actually I still quite happy with my blackvue. Only problem is not sure how to remove my dual cams from my current windscreen nicely as they are sort of permenantly stuck there. Can get additional holder but only the main cam one is available. I have a magic power pro on my car now. Not sure if there will be warrant issue with C&C cos the magic power pro needs to be connected to the fuse box. Sent an enquiry to KIA 2 days ago but no reply received yet.

Received a reply from KIA today. Telling me that in the future, if anything goes wrong and they trace the cause back to the device (cam / power magic pro) I installed, then they will not warrant the warranty and since the cam is connected 24/7, the load on the battery will increased. Thus, they won't cover the warranty of the battery too. Likewise, if I were to change my horn, the same thing - if fault is trace to horn / fuse box due to the horn installation then no warranty.

That's why after my autosaver I purchased way back finished. I went outside to do my own EO changes.

 

It's too crazy to pay that much for a normal servicing too...

 

All the extra goes into the "free" coffee, nice sofa seats, newspapers.
