mycarforum: KIA K3 Owners check-in! part 24

97999 EX.

I got it on my first bid

EX better go for guarantee.
They will definitely give priority to SX non-guarantee customer.

Wah, congrats there..
EX guaranteed price is $99,999, right? Or you bought before they up the price.. If so, it is equivalent to $2k disc.. Not a bad deal..

When I bought it, it was:
$94,999 advertised price
COE was at ~$57000
Signed at $93,999
COE rebate was $50,000
So definitely not the $55,399 COE
Feel like I got the short end of the stick.
Once again, can anyway who have secured their K3 EX share their COE Rebate level and purchase price?

Mine 50k coe rebate, buy at 95k, got coe at 2nd bidding

I'm not too sure about the sealant issue, but if they caused your bodykit to crack then that's something to point out to them. Did you do it on the spot? Else now they can say you knocked it yourself and caused the crack...

�

I sent photos to C&C and they ask me to drive back and let them have it for 2 to 3 days. I have touched up the damage and can live with it as I repaired it almost perfect and cannot see. But friend told me to send back. As I paid so much and how I can accept for a little damage. In fact he is more niao than me until wanted to sue C&C.�

�

Scared if I return to them then it become worse than before.

�

During the midst of repair, they shall loan me a car so I think I am fine with it.

�

Think I also unlucky on the other hand. The other day, I wanted to link my car camera to my fuse box. In the end, short circuit my unit which is almost 1 to 2 yrs. At least they are willing to compensate me for my old one and upgraded to new one with 2 channel with wifi. Of course top up some $$ as my old one is cheap china one.

Speak of rebate. Essentially you can never get it back. Cause COE shall never drop with the news of quota dropping.

try to see if the original 4gb sd card is formatted in the same way as your new sd card

�

if you're looking to play music (MP3), then use another usb & a�card reader and insert into the USB port below lo... that port cant be used to power any device, so I used it to play music only... anyone here knows if the eurostyle HU can play MP4 or MKV movies via this USB port too?

Just to check with you guys does the K3 come in manual gear? I don't recall seeing it at their showroom. But its was advertise under the KIA website.�

�

Only Auto transmission for K3... unles you are talking about the paddle shifter.

Add me too! Pmed!

�

All PM answered & added to whatsapp group.

bro, understand the eurostyle can support up to 32GB size from the msia forum.

�

Think the issue should be the memory card format type. Please double check.

Mine 50k coe rebate, buy at 95k, got coe at 2nd bidding

�

thank you for the straight up answer!

yep so i guessed right. may it is my face. haha...

it seems like there is some standard rebate level.

and my rebate level was set way too low for some reason.

Done mine 2 wk ago at Absolute Tint in Ubi, they have a $388 package decent enuf(can negotiate )

Eugene's the boss

Hi, Just to check what is the average FC of Kia K3 ?

Thanks.

about 7-8L per 100KM for me after "running in" the engine. this is after about 5000 km.

Dear bro and sis,

�

Need the pro advice by you all.

�

I paid for a K3 (basic) almost 4 COE bids ago. COE then was roughly 57k.

I thought I got a decent deal but the COE bid keep failing.

Worse so now, since Cat A is only roughly 55k.

�

Why did the agent bid so low?

The agent told me that they were bidding at about 50-52k.

Didn't I buy the car with COE at around 57k? Are they screwing me over?

Or am I too noob to this car buying thing?

�

Errr....erm, the COE now also 57k mah. Even if 55k, 2k difference is pretty nothing? As for them bidding 50 to 52k, well they did not commit how much they will bid and if yours is not guaranteed and they fail to secure your COE then you will get refund. K3 under C&C, where will screw u?? They don't get your profit until they manage to secure your car. No car = no sale = no profit.

Thanks for the info.

Hi there,

�

Quick question:

For those who has got the Eurostyle installed, will C&C return you the original HU during car collection ?

�

Thanks in advance !

�

As a new car buyer, this is absolutely confusing to me.

�

Why sell me something and push me to top up $3k non stop to "secure" it?

�

Why sell something that you can never actually get?

�

I think what is more vexing is that other bro/sis did get the car at the same deal as me.

�

Why was I singled out?

�

So i guess you did not top up the $3k to "secure" it? Do you actually know what the other buyers did? Maybe they topped up leh? There is nothing confusing - different people got different "urgency" level. So those more urgent and die die must get (or believe COE will increase) will pay for the top up. Those who are more "get or don't get also can" will not top up. It's giving buyers a choice.

�

I am sure they didn't single you out - you sound like jose mourinho (joke only, no offence). Wait awhile and see lah.....if you were so determined to get the car, then maybe you should have topped up in the first place. I mean when you decided not to top up, you also know the implications right? I mean, if don't top up also guaranteed can secure then who will want to top up, correct?

Do you need a car urgently? Non guarantee package usually for ppl who dont need the car fast and can play waiting games with the coe.

up front i told the se no top for for me.If c&c dont secure the coe within 6 bids, too bad u dont earn my $$, i dont take ya car. Dont show to SE you in need of car urgently. Play along if you got time and squueze more freebies

Usually achieve 550km when drive till fuel gauge lights up. Better economy after 4000+km Odo reading

ouh okay thanks! how about the noise level in the cabin when driving 100-150? not mentioning that i speed in NSHW

Guys planning to buy a k3 to join u guys but have to know if there are any problems with the car. How much did u guys pay if u guys bought an ex opc? And what kind of freebies do you guys get?

some bros here are owner as of 2013.. they may be a better position to advise..
opc is standard $17k rebate from LTA. hence, it shd not affect profit margin of AD.
i got zero freebies as i paid for the 3-2-1 promo where all those i gotten are in, no eurostyle, no floormat, no reverse cam..
find those SE recommended here, Alvin Tham, Sam Ang or Wai Ho, all from Alexandra Showroom and you wont end up like me.. :)

Yo those who are interested can look for Wai Ho at Leng Kee also. Very nice and patient SE. Tried his best to accommodate to all my requests.

I initially choose pps and eurostyle as part of the deal to sign with him. After few days decided that i wanted the DVR too and texted him. He obliged without any hesitation. Also i changed colour from White to Black and to Silver and he was kind enough to accede to my requests too. Yeap after sales service was great as well. Helped me book for a service slot at C&C LK when i texted him. Nice chap!

Those interested can let me know so I can PM u his no. :)

wow really nice SE. i asked for a 3m mat on the day i hand her the 10k. and she act blur and diverted topic hahaha

Oh ya and when i collected the car, i was given a k3 car mat. Think its 3A brand one though. Good enough though cosni didnt ask for it! Happy customer!

wow really nice SE. i asked for a 3m mat on the day i hand her the 10k. and she act blur and diverted topic hahaha

I received my k3 yesterday. Not bad at all but rem to check your car when received. My front cam was not able to on and after the tech checked they say it's the circuit board fuse blown. I also realise later that there is water stain under the headlamp. If I didnt observe it I will not be able to see it. Most likely will observe for a while and feedback during the 1k servicing.

wow really nice SE. i asked for a 3m mat on the day i hand her the 10k. and she act blur and diverted topic hahaha

your SE also Wai Ho? is she or he? Javier says 'he'.. you say she...

Wow.. Really? I thought new K3 should have its original car mat, isn't it? So, this 3a car mat is another set, or you guys talking about that original set?

Oh sorry, I'm talking about my own se which is a she. Haha. Btw Javier, the 3a car mat is a standard issue I think. Mine also came without asking hehe

My SE also a she. Give me 3A mat on top of the standard car mat. Maybe we have the same SE.

Guys planning to buy a k3 to join u guys but have to know if there are any problems with the car. How much did u guys pay if u guys bought an ex opc? And what kind of freebies do you guys get?

I dont own a car right now so im not trading in. I am trying to find a right price like 92K so that i could mod the car

Oh yours as well. My headlamps also got water stain in fact both headlights and bringing to C&C to rectify. They wanted to polish but I said no as it also polish off the original UV coating which can cause a lot of problems such as yellowing quickly. Furthermore I done glass coating on my lamps as well.

Just a some q for fellow owners of the K3.

�

So far, the FC anybody can get anywhere close to 14.7km/l as claimed? I max can get around 11.9km/l. 50% highway and 50% urban. Mostly 10.9km/l even after first servicing.

�

Also when u just switch on the air con after starting your car. Does the car vibrate a bit and make bit of noise? Air con is cold but find it odd that it make some noise.

�

So you'll live with the water stain? Where is the stain? Inside or outside the headlamp cover?

�

Mine is 8.2L/100KM or 12.19KM/L, city driving 40%, AYE 60%.

�

Aircon on will hv a bit of engine HP loss & shudder, as the engine also need to drive the aircon compressor... nothing out of the ordinary.

I believe most of the other K3 owners here are getting similar results to you... I'm sure you know that manufacturer figures are rarely typical for real world use

�

�

Stain is most likely on the inside as I do not feel any rough feel touching along the surface of the headlights.

�

Tomorrow I am driving in to C&C and if proven is manufacturer defects, they will replace a pair. But if it is due to the glass coating applicator then they will pay for the damages. Expected if I have to leave my car for 2 to 3 days partly they damage my bodykit with minor stress cracks and need to rectify as well. Though I do not mind as I have touched up myself already but seek warranty and free servicing reinbursement as they fixed up with silicon and worried will damage the original coating if taken out to change bodykit. Also troublesome to recoat the glass coating for new kit though C&C shall pay the cost.

�

I ask for a courtesy loan car and was given during the repair.�

�

Hmm. My bro's new Jazz 1.5 also fall short of manufacturer claim of 17km/l but achieve 15km/l.

�

Sounds like generator sound when start air con. Funny.�

You have to deduct a bit to get the real world FC in SG. These FC figures were calculated based on other countries, where traffic and road conditions are different. As you know in SG highways also get congested during peak hours and you may be travelling at 50-60km/h only.

The FC figures are quite low though. I thought of installing the unichip Q+ to improve effiency and power. Any of the bros here did that?

It might be just me, but when my SE tried to offer me deal of free eurostyle, I negotiated for discount instead. I think eurostyle is good, but will not be as useful to me.

Yeah.. I might be a difficult customer myself.. Lol.. But I always feel that I might get better deal that what I had!! For example, getting both discount and eurostyle..

2) No sound

3) Touch screen no response

Bro, you can return the set to be serviced by the third party installer.... This Eurostyle HU actually has more capability that was installed when we got the car.. e.g. it has 5.1ch capability etc... if you take out the HU, you can see the capability listed on the sticker on the inside of the set as well as look at the port descriptions behind.. think you just need to get the correct cables for the ports behind and get your outside installer to set it up for you... I �tried to buy the other cables online but cannot find the OEM mfr of this set to get them from.. maybe some kind bros here may have the lobang and hope can share with us....

How come the coating cannot resist stone chips

�

I think nothing in the world can stop rock chip. Mine done with Ceramic pro and still have rock chip in my first week of ownership but the damage is somewhat different from my previous car whereby you can see the primer or bare material. It somewhat resist the impact and causes damages on the coating as I cannot really see the damage from normal viewing distance of 1m unless purposely looking for it.�

�

Depressed for a while but gotten over it and touch up if necessary. I heard those clear bra thing for cars but that one also cannot resist damages from rock chip even though it claims protection. Seemly nothing can stop rock chip damages.

Have you guys noticed on the speedometer the 30km/h and 50km/h mark is a red line instead of normal white line?

�

I figured and tested that 30km/h is minimal speed to set cruise control. �

But still haven't figured out what's the significance of 50km/h. �Any ideas?

Does any bro know if the car ECU will "learn" the driving habits of the driver?�

�

I noticed when I picked up the car when new, its pickup was sluggish, but now after 1K on the odometer, its getting faster on the pickup...? Or maybe its the driver (me) getting used to the car instead?� [laugh]

Means running in well :) i also feel the car is picking up faster

Ya bro, but I still not pressing the gas pedal so hard la.. never hit 3K rpm yet.. now slowly running up to 2.5-2.8k rpm... sometime paiseh i holding back the queue as I gain speed from traffic stop...

�

My next project is to change the car horn, as the stock one sound a bit soft & "koo niang"...� [laugh] ... maybe i change to Stebel Magnum 2.. some review in MCF on this 2 tone horn too....

�

Also will play with the Eurostyle HU when installing my amp at the workshop to see if expand its capability further... � [drivingcar]

Brake caliper comfirmed leaking,no spare parts [furious] �,must wait 2 weeks send in car again. [:(]

Wow... I usually don't exceed 2.5k rpm... perhaps I am accelerating too slowly? Your FC doesn't suffer?

Those are speed limits for roads in Europe.

Hehe.. ya, below 2.5K rpm i find car is not going fast enough... FC? no la.. abt 8.3 lo.... nothing for me to get too worried abt.. now is to break in the car gradually till it is seasoned..�

both running in and ECU adaptation I think... nowadays transmission and ECU have fuzzy logic, if you keep stabbing throttle hard a lot it will eventually adapt to give more power

It must be the way they handle the car

for me bo bian... have to exceed 3k rpm when overtaking.... otherwise those auntie BMW tailgate me closely... [:p]

bro any idea for this k3 what is the recommendation run in max speed and rpm for 1K km. Thanks

bro any idea for this k3 what is the recommendation run in max speed and rpm for 1K km. Thanks

�

I think, just keep it cool and don't over-rev, keep it below maybe 4,000RPM, should be safe. 3,500RPM if you are concerned.

�

Top speed should be fine, stay below 120, I reckon. See what your manual say, I think the owners here should be able to better advise you

Edited by 7hm, 05 November 2015 - 01:29 AM.

recommended run in max speed 90 and rpm�keep it below 3K.

�

After�you reach 1000 KM�u will go back to C&C change engine oil.

Shld vary the speed actually. Helps in the run in process. Rpm not too high can liao.

I can recommend this relatively unknown brand called PLK Optian, if you are willing to pay the high price (~$800). It is worth it as it has a wide variety of driving assistance features such as lane departure warning, collision warning and moving-off alert, that all work. Useful as an extra safety alert.

�

Video quality is also reasonably good (front 1080p-30fps, quality on par with BlackVue) although the rear camera is only VGA. It has all the usual things you expect of a in-car cam like impact event recording, parking mode (with in-built voltage cut off), microphone, and automatic overwrite. So far I haven't encounter overheating issue with this cam as well. Additionally it also records GPS location and G-force.

�

If you don't value the driving assistance features though, then cheaper cams like BlackVue or maybe SafeVue also can.

Thanks but over my budget ~$400. I will look around.

i do compare Thinkware and IRoad last year and i almost bought Thinkware.

but in the end, i go for IRoad cos of the price factor.

Difference is about $200 and the only main difference then i feel is the rear cam which, V7, is not FHD. whereas for ThinkWare, both front and rear are FHD.

�

then read reviews here and there, seems like both have similar cons...but more reviews on ThinkWare overheating then IRoad.

Hence, taking in the price difference factor, in the end go for IRoad.

Driving to KL not recommended for a new car. If you read the manual, you are advised to vary engine rpm during the first 1000 km break in period, and not to race the engine. Driving long distances on the highway doesn't allow you to vary your engine rpm as it will most likely be at around 2k when cruising.

Not to mention very brave too to drive a brand new car up north with all the missing car cases

I got the Iroad V7 which is essentially a 2 channel system. Actually I intend to link my existing old Marbella to my fuse box but the workshop short circuit it and compensate me with another one. So I go for this one. So far so good and with wifi too. Price retails about $300+ without installation but they also charge me half price for labor.

Shld vary the speed actually. Helps in the run in process. Rpm not too high can liao.

Actually, I'm from another school of thought which doesn't believe in run in anymore... I drive like I would a car the first day I collect the new car and yes, I did whack my vios above 160kmh to kl when the odo read 700+km only... By the time I send for my 1k free service, odo read 1700+km already... And no problem with gb or engine... Same for my current latio .... Hehe.... Not for fainted heart thou... I know most people will feel heart pain when see how I hit nearly red line on first week of collecting my new car... Hehe...

Yup depends on the person, for me I would follow the instructions in the car manual, else no reason for the manufacturer to put inside. I ignored the SE's advice, which was to keep it below 2k rpm. Owner manual said to try for between 2-4k with varying rpm.
