don't assume ... u don't write my paycheck cheers

Yes sir

the FL version quite... duh leh interior improve or not?

Anyway here are the specs

The SX specs will come with:
- 02 airbags
- 10-way adjustable electric + 02 memory
- Xenon headlamps (not HID) <---- i always thought Xenon was HID...
- VSM (Vehicle Stability Management)
- ESC ( Stability control)
- Keyless entry + engine start
- Front & rear parking sensors
- 17inch Sport Alloy wheels + tyres

Se said headlights were halogen and not xenon.......

Dear Wolf,

�

I've been watching prices of cars for the last 2 to 3 months prior to my test drive on the 15th. of this month. My car is due for scrap in May. [bigcry] �and its a Mazda 3 in fact I had 3 generations of Mazda 3 and my perennial fav was the Astina ( the pop up head lamps)

�

My family members have bought Mazda 3, Altis and the Sylphy. So I had some experience riding and driving them.

�

But the clincher was in the test drive and here are my personal reason:-

�

Love the 10 way power assisted seat with 2 memory. [thumbsup]

the seat also had the cooler system, not sure why it had a heater also....�possible a euro model we get here in SG.

best was the lumba support (adjustable) [thumbsup]

Mine came with a reverse Camera for those who have stiff old vertebras.

Came with a front Cam too.

I think the Welcome lighting does help in locating the car, in a pack car park...

Comes with VSM and ESC

�

Well the above was the good part..here was some of the disappointment:-

�

The new SX now has only 2 air bags use to be 6.

Not much acceleration compared to others but since I'm driving an almost�10 year car. its good enough for me.

My son says the body shape is to 'plain', but on a side note, my daughter and nephew�says looks good enough for me�Hmm..

�

When all said and done, best is to test drive and speak to a car sales person that is service oriented, and don't go when its busy.

We were the only people there on that Friday afternoon.

I had a very good experience with a Mr. 'E' during the test drive stage I was�brief on every 'gizmo' and functions of the car until 'blur like sotong' lucky�had family members with me lol.

�

With everything said and done I give it a 4/5 star rating..Lets see how the servicing is like in the new future. ^_^

�

What's you highway/urban ratio?
High chance during 3rd to 4th quarter I guess. Btw how many yrs old your ride is?

2 yrs by end of the month

Power!� [thumbsup]

Btw fellow Kia owners..any comments of the factory installed audio system?

�

Like, did any of you change the speakers or added a sub or did you add any sound proofing etc etc

�

also the factory tinting is so so, any of you doing additional Vcool or 3M automotive film?

�

Please feel free to advise as I think the film and audio system need an upgrade...

Se said headlights were halogen and not xenon.......

�

Yah looked quite Yellow man... I just saw it today... but still on projector beams

Yah looked quite Yellow man... I just saw it today... but still on projector beams

Hi Alfred, did you sign up for the standard or Platinum package?

Quite amazing till today still dunno which is which. Diff se say diff thing lol.

Quite amazing till today still dunno which is which. Diff se say diff thing lol.

�

So far 2SE from Kia Ubi said Xenon...�

I did a platinum package but at the rate cars are being sold, last weekend and the car show, probably the platinum package wont get us our brand new spanking K3 for the next few biddings.

�

I fear the prices may go up by 4 to 5.5k [sweatdrop]

�

But good luck everyone..

What was the offer or special perks for the Motorshow?

�

I was offered 90999 on 11 Jan for the EX model w 6bids guaranteed (platinum)�

�

given 1 yr free servicing from the platinum package w rebate 45k

�

+ front camera + solar film

So far 2SE from Kia Ubi said Xenon...�

�

Confirmed is Halogen for SX. Just got my ride 2 weeks back

Confirmed is Halogen for SX. Just got my ride 2 weeks back

�

not projector headlights ar?

not projector headlights ar?

�

All K3 since the very first day comes with Projector headlamps, irregardless of EX or SX. Projector meaning is the type of headlamp housing installed on the car.

�

2 different kind of bulbs, Halogen (common yellow) or HID (4300K white).

�

All EX is projector Halogen headlamp.

�

Only some batch of SX came with HID. Current batch of SX (Dec 2015 onward)�is projector Halogen headlamp.

hi guys just a quick question. SE seem to say rikecool is better (cause more expensive) than thinkware. but i read online apparently both also got complains. more consistant is rikecool having airbubble problems. so which is a better freebie to get?

If both also got complains then i'd go for the rikecool. If not wrong the thinkware same model online selling approx $150 only .... to do solar film will be much more i think.

If can get both. Can save the trouble to go outside and do it after getting the car.

seems like they don't include the zertona shit anymore.�

�

Just a headup, dont ever buy any car detailing from them as it doesn't last and the quality is low + no warranty or followup. Not sure if they even did it.�

�

The bodykit feels plastic, �i should have asked for removal of the bodykit in view of more discount.�

�

I did ceramic coating with supremo detailer 2 weeks after i got the car. Till now still as awesome as ever !�

If both also got complains then i'd go for the rikecool. If not wrong the thinkware same model online selling approx $150 only .... to do solar film will be much more i think.

150$ is without the cable for parking mode. The cable is about 80$.. plus Labour sum up maybe quite close..

thanks bro. any lobang for dashcam? i looking for night recording too.

i already got eurostyle (after topping up). SE said can add in solar also. so i guess its either solar or thinkware ah. cant get both.

The rikecool works fine for me.

�

After driving the car for about a year, there are some small (indiscernible from driver seat) at the rear heater element on the glass. Does not bother me.

get the solarfilm...the cheapest LTA compliant�in the market is still as expensive than a car camera. so its more worth it. workmanship for rikecool is pretty decent enough... [thumbsup]

I opt to top up for eurostyle too, was offered 1.1K, how much you topped?

Im on Rikecool now, i would say it's quality so so nia, got rippled over time, especially on the windscreen. I request to change brand but SE insisted it's KIA's in-house vendor and i can request for redo if not satisfied...

yea same my SE insisted the same too. during my signing he offered 2 freebies worth 1.2k. i suggested to give up both for eurostyle (2k) and he asked me to top up the difference lo.

i also went to top up for Eurostyle player and was quoted $1K top up

�

does anyone know the retail value of this player outside including installation?

Without installation i saw on aliexpress and eBay abt 600+. Android version. Rem to choose RHD

Nope. TOP up $1k instead of $1.1 with trading of the 2 items

I trade in the stock HU with top up 1.1k. Text my SE after knowing you guys was quoted 1k, he agreed...cheapo me...lol

Hello all, just created my account to share my joy!

Is there still guarantee bid? Only at motorshow?

The price list from sgcarmart (http://www.sgcarmart.../2016-01-12.pdf) for both platinum or standard are all 6 bid non-guarantee. Just Curious...

The SE did mentioned that i can top up 2k to make it a guaranteed coe. But he went on to advice that there is no need to top up 2k, he seems confident in securing the coe within the next 6 bids though. Anyway the colour that i wanted, temptation red currently has no stock. Have to wait till Feb, therefore not in a rush to secure coe for me yet i think.

Today at 4pm is�'Car' day for some of us.

�

But even if we don't get this round, they say for February to April there will be 16.4% more COEs.

�

My SE says should be able to get a successful biding by March.(6 bids)

�

So good luck everyone

Don't worry. Sure get. Just be patient.

Some SEs want to exploit human behavior

I agree with bro Friendstar, sure will get. Actually i requested not to bid for me for the coming next 2 rounds, but he said the management has the final say. Love my ride, wanted to drive her till her very last day�

Good Luck to all waiting for COE results today. May you all get what you want either successful 1st bid or 6th bid. lol

Jst found out my freebie zertona pps will be of no use. Hv decided to go for ceramic pro 9h 5 layers (expensive shit yeah i know - getting white K3 so feel the need) ... and was informed they will remove the zertona layer before applying the ceramic pro.

Already got most of the freebies from SE except for eurostyle (do not want top up $$ fr it). So can't really trade in the pps for anythng else. Wonder if they can shave off $600 if tell them no need pps already lol.

What you guys think?

5 more bids to go~� [sleeping]

Current bidding 47959.

No need to see, this round coe sure go up to 50k range.

hi bro, i already signed for the deposit actually. but i was really hoping he could give me the eurostyle instead of the solar film and thinkware. he said only could be done if i top up $800 because its 1.2k trade for 2k item. but i hope he can allow because i giving up 2 item for 1.

Your theory is wahaha. .maybe you should proposed to use 10 matchboxes to exchange for that 1 item. Stronger point right! Wahaha

My bid submitted 49,999. Think that's the amt bid for all signed for Titanium�

50k now

Out bided!..haha

They could put in last minute increases. So there still could be hope.

Wa now so gimmicky. Titanium platinum gold. Like credit card.

We need adamantium to win then.

Cat A increased around 6k to about 51k, afterall still consider low?!

Cat A takes few more rounds to be below 50K
