Kia Stonic

[jam1888]

Avante pricing is attractive and the car is consider spacious with not bad features, most people would rather get avante than stonic la. In terms of space, Stonic already lost out liao. Many reviews say that the rear is very cramp. Lol.

 

i don't know who sell more la but i do know kia stonic forums have the most people popping in just to say stonic is not a good buy and brand X is.

 

I wonder why...... 

I did my paint protection outside. I was advised not to do it at Kia cos feedback not too good.

 

Ah i see. thanks for sharing, how much did you spend? I am thinking of getting it as well.

Ard 600. Depending how long you want to protect. I didn’t have a lot of choices as i got my car 1 week before CNY. All shops like fully booked. You can take your time and browse. Most importantly thing to ensure you don’t have the white specks issue. If have, no point doing paint protection.

Why compare Avante vs Stonic???

 

both different class car. Sedan vs B-Segment Crossover

 

 

If you say Avante better specs and interior than Attrage I can comprehend.

 

But then price varies too much. Attrage win in terms of bang for buck.

Attrage depre similar to Avante. And gotta trade in car (aka get lowballed...). No trade in, pay $5k more n price is similar to Avante. No brainer which to choose and live w less misery

A forced induction engine will work even better at higher altitudes of Genting for the air is thinner.

 

The turbocharger can compress more air per min as compared to at sea level.

 

This is why most WW2 fighters and bombers had forced induction engines, be it turbo or superchargers, or a combo of both.

 

It is the only way to maintain engine power at higher altitudes

 

NA engines typical loses about 10% power at every 2000 ft elevation.

 

so sorry to hear that.

 

But I've not heard of anyone who managed to successfully claim from a bolehland motorist before. 99.9% you have to LLSL.

 

Anyway it is an open secret that some motorists over there doesn't even have ins coverage for their cars.

 

But you also see quite a few junk Protons and Perodua overheated and gotta pop the hood along the way up.

 

Utter lack of maint and utterly poor quality parts...

Ot a bit.

 

Indeed getting into motor accidents with malaysia registered cars is a huge disadvantage.

 

Lucky for mine. My bumper dented. Many scratches. Deformed. But got it fixed sprayed back in a nice uncle workshop in sin ming sector c.

 

Damage was a cool 250sgd.

 

It looks quite bad damange frm my pov. But heck. No workshop wan2 take on claims against malaysia car.

 

Changing a bumper is gonna be hell lot expensive. And wo insurance wanting to claim, i tried my luck at this paint repair workshop and it turned out the best solution of all.

What is the advantage of doing paint protection?  Please advise.

[Zippaboy]

I am very surprised the Stonic actually have cornering lights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone noticed this too?

What is the advantage of doing paint protection? Please advise.

Protect paint from chemicals, bird bombs, UV, water stains, anti-oil, abrasion. Ease cleaning. You can browse a few paint protection dealers. They usually will state the advantages. But still need to wash car regularly to maintain. Edited February 22, 2019 by lawfer928

Hi all, newbie here. I got my Stonic before CNY. Just want to highlight to those collecting their car to check all exterior black plastic parts. Mine has tiny white specks all around. I didn’t notice the specks untill I send my car for paint protection. Highlighted to SE and he lodged a defect complaint for me thinking the specks can be removed by polishing but they can’t. Now waiting for parts to arrive. So please take note. Other than this issue, all is good.

 

Hi, any update on your defect complaint? Will like to know how the issue is being resolved.

[lawfer928]

They claimed they are going to replace those affected plastic parts. They need some time to order. No update as of now.

Booked my SX Most Yellow. 

 

Highly recommend Felicia from Ubi outlet. Customer orientated. Never go wrong. Can say the couple 1 year older than her recommend =P 

 

Avoid Gracie at Alexandra at all cost. Either she hit quota already if not she is just there to work and past time. 

 

Got the typical freebies (Solar film, Camera etc..) + Car Mat & $50 Petrol voucher. 

 

Cant wait! Sadly need wait stock around June/July according to SE.

Same and i got the mat and sunshade as well. Wouldnt go for gcoe unless you really need the car early. 

 

My SE is Vic Ubi and he automatically gives me what i think is the best offer without me needing to haggle.

3m/3a/3b/3c/3d all the same, end of the day you step on it and it traps dust. Done.

 

Unless you wanna determine the quality by measuring the quantity of dust it can trap, everything also brand here brand there.
