thanks bro! when it first launched and I checked out the specs, I figured it would be a good buy as compared to the other cars out there in the current market conditions. So took the plunge and booked based purely on specs and pictures..haha it's a gamble though

So loan about $55k and cash $37k???I booked mine at 92,999 with 5K top up for guarantee COE, Snow White Pearl. But that time the ruling already in place, so I didn't have 100% loan, only 60%. Don't have COE yet too, SE says will get in Aug.

Did you guys make the purchase without even seeing it in real life? Other than the pics from worldwide reviews and photoshoots, is it wise to purchase a vehicle without actually sitting in it and testing it? I am not being sceptical on this but its kinda hard to splash 100K plus for a vehicle without testing it. I mean, it is not just another item on Ebay or Amazon eh.
I was there on 26th July 7pm to collect my Kia Soul after servicing. At first look, the K3 looks almost identical from a 2012 Forte. Even my wife indicates that: " why are they placing the forte on the external display?" Prior to heading up to 2nd lvl to get my car, I went inside and take a look around before planting my arse on the driver seat.
I would say that the seat is comfortable for touring purpose. The dashboard was great but somehow the 2012 forte rear seats are bigger than the K3 (It seems to be designed for 2 and if someone sits in the middle, its gona be uncomfortable).
Other than the awesome interior design of the K3.....the rear lights of it looks almost identical to the 2013 Sorento (though smaller a bit) and from the side, it looks like the Forte.
Somehow or rather, I do not find it very special from other great looking compact sedans as compared to the Jetta Sport, 2013 Renault Fluence, etc.
I would be happy if they bring in the 2Liter or the 1.6 turbo version in. Oh Oh....not forgetting the awesome K9 series!
Not surprising since you drive a soul when you think k3 is not that appealing .... You are from a totally different category when come to taste .... Just like find soul fugly....
Actually hor...the soul does look like a unwanted child from Daihatsu Material and the well know Toyota B B. Its kinda ugly.
That is why i do up a of mod to look.....a bit decent lor....if not fir my limited budget....i would gone for my favourite defender lor...
similarly, i dun find the soul appealing because of its boxlike shape and close resemblance to the daihatsu materia u mentioned and its small interior n boot. everyone has different tastes, some pple find the lamborghini gallardo or ferrari 458 ugle but others will find them appealing. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. for a buyer like me, a nissan GTR presents a much better value than a porche carrera S, and i would choose the GTR anyday. maybe u would choose the carrera S?
At current market, K3 has advantage in term of price / feature and look (try compare fm side view if old and new forte similar) and thats why people think its great. Test drove it and its good.
i do love defender, but definitely not soul..no offend :)
Don't mind me asking you K3 owners ar.

I placed the order without seeing real car, SE only showed me catalog. I was not the first batch buyer and all of them did the same as me, bought without seeing it.
I did test try Elantra, which the engine is same as K3 so there is a certain level of idea how the drive will be. Rest of it, it's really up to individual. Some wouldn't, like you; some would, like those who placed order.
http://www.sgcarmart...ars_compare.php
Come on accept it that k3 is a much better car than soul, I hate to do comparison cos soul isn't in that league to compete with k3. Wanna compare just go to this link n compare side by side

Bro, don't be too defensive of your k3 hor, later one anti Korea made chap will come in and make this a war zone thread again....hehehe....

Anyway bro enjoy ur ride...
Collected my car,[sorry did not take any photo],i felt sorry for many Brothers & Sisters who booked the car earlier than me,C&C was VERY VERY UNFAIR to YOU.. ,just because you paid lesser than me,only 7 cars collected today,i saw many cars[all Registered] on level 2,C&C should call ALL the owners to the launch party....Anyway,the food 'sucks',just drinks & those small cocktail food[no buffet],my Mazda 6 Launch party's food was damm nice...now still hungry.!!!
Thumbs up
thank you
C&C cut cost.???C&C just 'Look down' on KIA owners.!Look at their Mercedes-Benz launch,always 5 stars hotel or resort,Hey this type of launch party is the worst i went to.!Just Fed-Up,with them,they should invited ALL owners[those cars that registered & park on the 2nd level],can meet more owners too,just tell all the car owners, the 7 owners[inc me] are owners that draw lots & lucky....so they drive out from the showroom,after the launch,the ones that did not get the lots will drive home their cars from the 2nd level..fairer to everybody.C&C must be thinking they want to cut cost, lesser d people less d cost to feed those guest. Dun know y some of us book early get later, guess its their smelly tricks to minimize their losses. Sian No choice hv to wait for me.

They should deliver all registered car by today so that everyone have the chance to enjoy the car over the weekend but C&C do until like that really bo swee! they should invite all their K3 owner-to-be to this launch party instead of selected one! They must think of long term relationship with the customer instead of fxxk n forget date!
Ya bro ER-3682, I missed our Mazda 6 launch party. To show their sincerity, they invited all owner-to-be and even the POTENTIAL customers to attend the event!

How much food cost incurred compare to the $$$ that you have spent to buy a car from them? Think all they are looking at right now is only fxxk n forget date instead of remain long term relationship with the owners.
Bad move by C&C.

Agree C&C do till very bo swee here. Anyway bro, don't mind them ba. Got your new ride, don't spoilt your mood with that. Enjoy your ride n quick quick show off to us haha.
Curious to see what other owners will buy for their K3.
I wonder the car you get will be the 'Full spec' ones or the 'Lower Spec' ones[$15kOMV].?When you booked your car.?Congrats bro! So now can slp peacefully Liao. Nvm laa.

Your are wrong,those cars on the 2nd level are ready for collection ones....only maybe these owners paid less[$105k],so C&C not happy...anyway my car got no solar films install..maybe the cars have not been sent to install the solar films and other stuff? guess they must have made quite a loss to be giving finger food and soft drinks for an official launch party..haha
Hyundai .... your move. Souping up the Elantra locally and calling it sport version will not help. K3 is simply packed with too many goodies!
K3 ... "Elantra Killer"???

If C&C is gonna bring in the low end K3 with little features, I don't see how the elantra will lose out to the K3.

i dont think K3 can kill the elantra.In term of look, elantra still look much better, specs wise , its on par.But downside is the price for elantra is abit too high . Anyway K3 is using Hyundai engine/technology, so both brother ..brother la.. Maybe the japs start to worry.
Now got 2 specs liao?I wonder the car you get will be the 'Full spec' ones or the 'Lower Spec' ones[$15kOMV].?When you booked your car.?
Sales agreement should mention if you have "HID headlamp pack" means its a high spec version.
I think the current price is refer to the high spec (18k OMV), i dont think people will be happy if they book same price but getting the one with 15k OMV spec.
Sales agreement should mention if you have "HID headlamp pack" means its a high spec version.
Is it... Hmm mine didn't say so but back when I sign, there was only 1 spec so I didn't think have to write down all things.
What are the diff between the specs?

er then perhaps can double confirm with your SE. Should be all same ba.
I still wait for COE
Bros on early batch who collected the car, how was the fun on weekend? Come make us gianz even more
Lol, in terms of exterior design i still prefer elantra esp if the elantra still comes with sunroof. But in terms of interior, i like k3 than elantra. Dont really like the dashboard area of the elantra, i find k3 looks nicer.

Elantra looks stunning at begin. However, I feel it doesn't has a long lasting look... After a while, I feel the look is tiring... Maybe see too many similar one in Korea. Anyway, look is subjective. I still prefer elantra if compared to Altis or Civic
Is it... Hmm mine didn't say so but back when I sign, there was only 1 spec so I didn't think have to write down all things.

quite a few difference.
glove box aircon cooling, boot lip spolier, projector headlamps but non HID, non touchscreen headunit, normal windows instead of UV cut glass thus they will give you window tinting instead.
when u sign on the dotted line earlier, i believe the agreement would state the specifications dated XXX date. if you take alook at the new spec, what i mentioned above are those omitted. mine was wrtieen dated May 2013 spec catalogue which is the 18k OMV batch
Your are wrong,those cars on the 2nd level are ready for collection ones....only maybe these owners paid less[$105k],so C&C not happy...anyway my car got no solar films install..
first 2 batches some with UV cut glass thus not a requirement for solar films already bro. unless of cos u want to do it yourself to make it darker hehe
Nice!

wah I don't recall mine got say any spec date...
Just saw one red in colour K3 this morning along Lornie Road travelling towards Upper Thomson Road at 8.06am.
Nice!
Agreed, design for elantra and k3 is nicer than altis and civic la. But too bad k3 doesnt have sunroof version. If k3 comes with sunroof would be nice.Elantra looks stunning at begin.

can share how has the price of K3 fluctuate over the past months? Current price last checked is $119,999.
So dealer's profit is : $120k - $60k (COE Rebate) - $(18k(OMV) x 2.3) + $5 (CEVS rebate) = $23.6k !!! Of course, they may bid as high as $83.6k for your COE.

Bros, Sorry for noob question, tried to google but didnt find anything in detail, During the actual car collection day, what are the additional items cost we need to pay?
your own car petrol when u drive out? hehehe
should be nothing much..more towards when u get your COE, then whatever payments required should be made then and there like insurance premium and any further cash outlay etc instead of when collecting car.
What is there to envy? It's not mine and i didn't buy one.envy, i hv not seen one yet.
Yours will be coming soon.
