New 2017 Kia Forte K3

[Tiozz]

yes seen Mazda 2 sedan as well. beautiful shape with good specs but felt the space inside is not as spacious..

[kw76]

Been driving k3 EX on normal drive mode for 2 weeks+, mileage 500km.FC only 9km/L, doesn't step hard on accelerator. Ard 20% expressway, 80% Road. Seems worse Den my previous ride, Lancer EX. Will Fc improve much after 1000km servicing?

It should improve a little. Nothing drastic though..

 

I used to get 13km/l, almost 600km on a full tank, when i did mostly expressway driving. Now that i do mostly city driving, im getting about 11km/l, 520-540km for a full tank.

 

Dont bother using eco drive mode, you end up flooring the accelerator alot more.

Hi all, what’s your FC you get for your auto k3? Need more feedback to determine average FC in Singapore...

Hi bro , when inside car doing reverse parking , always park slant to the other side (from ur line of sight).

So it will compensate back to "straight".

My previous car i have no problem parking straight.

Only for K3 , will always tends to slant to right side.

Roger that. Been doing that. I have finally managed to park this Kia straight. Lol

Mine is at 800km now. Using onboard metric...it shows 14.6km/litre. Then again cos I do mostly expressway driving. Yesterday was mostly city driving...dropped to 12.6. not sure how zun this onboard thingy is.

Why you al have rich good Fc har?? Mine into 5th tank and after 1k servicing... every time refill to the brim and got only 400-450km before lights up :(

The rims play a part.

 

SX is 17 inch. It's really heavy

For me, No. Mine SX, owned for 3mths, FC also around 9-11km/L, on expressway my speed doesn't go above 100. Always pump Esso Supreme+. Drive in either Eco or Normal mode. Need to top up at kiosk more often than prev ride avante. After 1k servicing no improvement observed. Still using stock Nexen tyres.

FC will improve overtime...

The upcoming K3 is an all new model or just a facelift any idea?

Cos from pics it looks almost the same as the current version albeit nicer.

[Contipro]

Anyone have the info of K3 1.6L 6AT gear ratio and final drive ratio ?

Depends on what you mean all new... the design is all new... but I think the platform is still the same... no change there? Not sure...

Think it’s considered all new then. Design is what constitutes an all new version as understood by most. Facelift is more of cosmetic changes like revise lamps, grille etc.

 

The latest Honda Civic is considered all new even though the 1.6NA engine is carried over.

Eh nope... beyond the exterior, the new Civic is redesigned from ground up... new chassis everything... it's a platform change...

Hi all. Will be collecting my SX in Mar. Would like to change the stock tires to PS4 or RE003, i got no intend to use the stock tyres,please dont ask me why.

 

1. Roughly how much is the trade in price for our stock tyres if i change the next day i collect the car.

 

2. Anyone on PS4 with stock SX rims? Hows the steering feedback and wet performance? I been on the RE series since my first car, never used another brand or series.

 

TYIA.
