You have a point there since bumper is always more prone to damage, even when we reverse our car, the bumper might also hit onto something. Lol.

Yeah.

 

Was thinking of this, cause rarely see signal lights situated on the bumper.

 

Everything about this car seems perfect, the price, the features etc.

 

 

I am thinking if let's say bumper is dropped off / gone, drive to workshop straight (instead of towing), it will be impossible cause there will be no signal lights behind?

 

(No offence to anyone, just concerned about this, feel free to input your thoughts and suggestions).

 

 

 

Thank you

Yes you'll be without signal lights from the back... and it's ok not to have them... you just got into an accident...

This is really old news lar bro... this affects US market Kia vehicles but the factory for those affected vehicles are meant only for the North American market... our cars come from the Korean factory... so we're not affected... and in this case, it's a precautionary recall... only certain batches were affected by metallic debris in the engine that was not detected at manufacture...

This shows that made in USA no good.

Made in Korea good? Lol...

Collected our SX on Thursday evening. Both Hubby & I are happy with the car. It delivers enjoyable rides for us. Well, of course, different people, different expectation.

FC wise...comparable with our old manual Cerato Forte 2010. For 60-70% Highway and moderate traffic (easy to maintain 80km/hr on highway), we got 14-15km/l.

a bit more than 1/4 tank

Wah... they so nice ah... RON95 is $2.34 per litre nowadays... so that's quite a bit of petrol they gave you... when I collected my new car I think I had just a bit above the empty mark only... nowhere near 1/4 tank leh...

Neutral Newbie

Theres been a few feedback about the signal light at the bumper which consider in low area.

I'm a heavy driver, driving to melaka once in 3 weeks or NS upto KL. Knowing malaysian driver like to drive bumper to bumper espicially in a jam like KL, I considering to modified the signal light wiring attach to the brake light which is higher.

What you guys/ ladies think? Will it effect KIA servicing package?
