Simplecar 4th Gear March 15, 2015 Share March 15, 2015 There is already more K3 on the road now... To its own lar.... Some like kimchi, some like sushi, some like sausage and those loaded one likes all... Change the tyres after 2+ years... Should be fine I hope 5 years later K3 will be even better... Although now is very excellent C&C did not particularly do well in KIA sales last year. KIA still have some perception issues although it is improving much already. Toyota has always been a top sell. For KIA to be compared to Toyota is already a compliment for KIA. Yup. I will change to the quietest tyres after 30k km. I am hoping to keep this K3 of mine for the good 10 years. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that the insurance for my Kia cost about the same as Jap cars. Servicing costs seem similar to the rest of the Jap cars as well. Technology? I guess it does not apply to the engines, though.

7hm Turbocharged April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 I think that 2013 K3 used one OMV higher than the current new one right? I saw that discussion about how the newer K3 got some stuff stripped off to keep OMV/price down... So a bit harder to direct compare... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
