That is not a light, it is a reflector.

yup correct its a reflector.

could also mod LEDs at workshops if u like. i know a K3 owner that did it.
Wow, at least they bid 40,999 for you, mine first 3 bids were 39,999.Non-guranteed
Dear Bros , just collected my SX today. Overall was good and satisfied with the car. Went immediately to replace with Conti sport contact 5 tyres. The Eurostyle HU is wonderful, good sound quality, considering its stock speakers. Great gps too. Found a line along my rear spoiler , look like adhesive stains.
Does anyone knows why the red light on the door panel doesn't light up when door is open?
�
Good choice..CSC 5 is good. How much you top up?
�
Mine also has a line along my spoiler..but I guiess that can be polished off over time... not too obvious
�
Its reflector not a light..u can bling bling it tho...lol...

I thought I was alone. The line did look like adhesive stains and in my case, and the lines are pretty "long" and obvious along my spoiler, as my car is black.

I am planning to ask my SE whether they can remove the stain during my coming 1K servicing. Also realise some parts of bonnet was slightly blurish.

Hi bro I topped up $632 after trade in the stock Nexen, done at Stamford tyres. Free rotation life time as I know them very well. Seems like everyone's rear spoiler has the line. I've informed my SE and he is arranging for a polishing to be done. On top of that, the paint work sucks which is located above the rear number plate. And rear combi lamps plastic cover has a tiny hole (created by injection molding of plastics) with some wax in it.

The line on my spoiler also very long , all the way throughout. SE arranging to get it polished off. Need to get it fixed. We paid $90k not for a defective line.

When they do up ur bumper, make sure you check the seams whether is there paint peel when they are working on it.

No worries. Being said that. It is still a great looking car and full of features. I still feel proud driving it as a number of keen interest from ppl.
�
Though this car causes me many unnecessary inconvenience not because of the car but the ppl who attends to it. I thinking of the ad they convey to us that our cars handled over to them are treated like our own children. I like to give chance but there is a limit and further more still have over 9 yrs plus to drive.
I can only adjust front and back, backrest back and forth but not the height.
So generally my driver's seat will be adjusted higher abit. So when friends board my car, those seated at the back will ask question like 'eh why ur chair so high' they can see an obvious height different between the passenger seat and the driver seat.
Just venting out, abit annoying!!
Has anyone feel abit irritated that the height of passenger seat for the k3 cant be adjusted?

Bro, it's not a top of the line Mercs/BMW. No height adjustment for passenger seat is the norm. Also, it's strange you have to adjust your seat so high, unless you are really short. You should have about 1 hand spacing (with some space between your fingers) between your head and the roof.

Why don't you adjust your driver seat lower so that there is no need to adjust the passenger seat. Normally people will adjust the drivers seat to the lowest position. Not sure why u need to seat so high. Then u should be buying a SUV instead.
Y get annoyed by your friends comment? U r the driver u sit in your most comfortable position. Passenger seat I feel is ok for the height. Even if drive seat higher dun see what's the issue...Has anyone feel abit irritated that the height of passenger seat for the k3 cant be adjusted?

Hi, does anyone knows our DRL, is it on all the time? Even when headlights are on? I just noticed it. I thought that it should turn off when headlights are on.
�
DRL is always on. it does dim down when headlights or foglights are on, but does not turn off while the car is running.
I love the drl + headlight combi. Like eagle eyes when u see the reflection. Change the headlights to white maybe nicerThanks. Actually it doesn't look that nice to have it on together with the headlights.
talking about headlights ... I just realised that my position light does not turn on at all. I mean the position before headlight. I went to check, the bulb is physically there, however now matter what position I turn it to, it does not turn on.
Anyone has this observation?�
I will ask them this 1k svc.�
�
Another interesting thing that happen just this morning, seems like my eurostyle HU will stop playing music the moment my fuel low light turn on?! My music cut off by itself ... I notice the low fuel light has just turned on... will observe again the next tank. haha

I no like my K3EX's soft/spongy suspension. Was on original stock tires (Nexen) & recommended 220 kpa & aso soft/spongy on 245 kpa, all 4 wheels. My friend aso drove it & commented soft/spongy. PLS HELP: 1) Experienced, who used F strut - wats d result? Anyone apply F & R struts - wats d result? Is spring buffer - those neoprene inserts between the springs - can they resolve my issue? I've looked under R suspension - wonder how they fix the R struct - any comments?

About fuel consumption . . .
To thechoseone:
I did around 60%highway/40%city driving and gotten 9.3 to 9.8 L/100 km accordin to the in-dash real-time calculator, during my 1st three mths.
Now I get 8.2 to 8.6 L/100. I am amazed I got 6.2 L/100 in my drive to JB Sentral from my home in Simei thru' PIE/BKE. Along BKE the real-time calculator, even, averaged down to 5.4L/100km ! This benefit I get, after I added insulation to the stock battery.
Next I gonna insulate the air intake. I got a coil of Aluminium Tape, given to me, which I must 1st find. The insulation mat . . . I scavenged from the boot cover of my scrapped N/Sunny. I'll see if that'll gimme fuel savings. Find the Al Tape 1st. Or, find seller of Al Tape. Comes in a roll & good sticky on one side. Any help from ppl in KIA family?
Hi, I just collected my car few days ago and I got 8.5-8.7L/100km. The car is powerful and we tends to over accelerate. If you are applying brakes often, then chances are you are wasting petrol.
Collected my car few days ago and found the defects :
1. Straight line throughout on the rear boot lip. SE arranged for re-spray.
2. Paintwork above rear number plate is rough and have a little pimple. SE arranged for re-spray.
3. Front bumper alignment slight out, gap on right bigger than the left. SE informed able to adjust.
Problem is I am reluctant to leave my car at C&C for re-spraying work. Any Bros have the same issue too?
And noticed that the bonnet gasket above the Kia logo have water ingress during rain or car wash. Any bros tried to open bonnet to check after car wash? The top of radiator is all wet.

Tend to be powerful when the cruise control feel is different from the new Jazz I also drove at times. The K3 sometimes rev much higher especially going up slope but the Jazz maintains the speed and no sudden jerk. Check other cars no such issues.
�
If there is works to be done then better do it as you have to keep driving it maybe 9 yrs plus? However not every car is perfect even if you buy posh cars.�

I sending in my to respray the bumper seams, change the chrome door belt & servicing this Thursday. This will take a 2 days job so have to leave the car there. Alternative transport to work arranged by C&C as they causes me a lot of problems which they must answer for it anyway.

When I wanted to change from EX to SX, I was told to top up based on the price when I signed instead of the lower price at the time of upgrade < Fair enough.Why you dun like their service?
But when I was told whether to upgrade to guaranteed bid, I was told to top up to latest price...

Nowadays is not because of the workshop facilities but is the cheap labor (china etc) �used whereby they are not all skilled to do this job not just C&C bah They thought the damage cannot see is ok but I will always find out as the color is very prominent.

$95K for K3 SX �not worth it lor. Top up 6K too much lor. � Maybe u wan to wait for another 2-3months for COE to drop, hopefully.

COE rebate at 42K
COE rebate at 42K
$6k top up = $4k top up to guaranteed + $2k price difference between time of booking and current price.
So it's reasonable.
If you want to save $6k then wait and (hopefully) Coe will drop, but unlikely. Unless you can accept no car by end of 6 bids. At end of 6 bids maybe top up even more than $6k. If you really want the car then just top up, again I said , ask for discount. They only bid at $40k for non guaranteed. Which is nearly impossible to get Coe.
It's up to you bro, to secure a car by topping up $6k, or to save $6k and might not get a car. Then you had gone one big round and not getting a car. 6 bids = 3 months.

I think you can consider to get the guaranteed package. Try to negotiate for discount. Motor show coming. COE confirm going up as demand increases. In simple term, more car buyer, fighting to get COE.

Sorry ah... after reading so many pages... right now what is the price of the non-guaranteed COE Forte EX & SX that you guys booked? I understand the top ups are about $4000. What's the final price then? Still below $100K? And what's the guaranteed COE price now for EX & SX?

i thought if you drop out now the deposit will be forfeited? no? mine case is similar to yours, but i'm in no rush for the car so am able to afford the wait.
You may visit the website www.kia.com.sg or www.sgcarmart.com.sg for price list.

That's the listed price currently... want to compare the current price and the price of those who booked the non-guaranteed COE. The later data is not available anymore online I think.
streamy silver.
Apart from the paint work, are there anything in particular to be careful wihen taking over the car? Thankz in advance! :)
1. Check paintwork, especially at boot lip, and above rear number plate. Silver color very hard to see irregularities. Take your time to check.
2. Solar film workmanship.
3. Bumper alignment.

Bro it's the same. By the time at end of 6 bids, the Coe might be more ex, and u book Hyundai , again gamble and wait for another 6 bids. What for waste your time to wait and gamble when u are all set to buy a car. I personally think you should top up and get the guaranteed package and sure get Coe next coming bid. Then get it all over with, and collect new car. After all, after topping up , it's still cheaper than Hyundai. And the service of c&c after sales is quite good. I dunno about Komoco Motors.
Good choice..CSC 5 is good. How much you top up?
Mine also has a line along my spoiler..but I guiess that can be polished off over time... not too obvious
Its reflector not a light..u can bling bling it tho...lol...
I went to C&C today to look at the boot lip. They advised to re-spray and need to leave car for 2 days, I rejected. So drove up to level 2 to the polishing dept. watched them polish it & now it's better. Can say only left 10% of the adhesive stains.
Blurish & with a small pimple paintwork above rear number plate, advised to re-spray and leave car for 2 days but I rejected. It's not glaring so forget it.
Front bumper & fender alignment left side gap bigger than the other side. Again leave car 1 day to dismantle and adjust. Reject also as not glaring.
So that's all for new car defects. Enjoying new ride and waiting for 1k servicing.
By the way what tyre pressure are you guys on? Reccomend 32psi but felt sluggish and tyre sidewall sagged. Pumped up to 34psi and should be all good.

If you change to Elantra, I am quite sure that you will get your COE... Komoco doesn't have this guaranteed price business... it's just a rebate level which they set... and they will tell you what level they will bid for the COE... so you know that you should get the COE unless it spikes for whatever reason. I like this better... C&C play punk for Kia cars... but they are upfront for Citroen... I wonder why... margin issues?

I don't know if the SX with guaranteed COE is cheaper than the Elite or not. But for Komoco, usually within one bid or two bids you get your COE. Price if it's more, is just a bit more, and that's the margin you pay to get your COE at one try rather than keep waiting lor...

But topping up $6k is considered margin you pay to get Coe. I booked the guaranteed package and got it 1st bid. $6k is normal as topping up to guaranteed is $4k, and car price surged $2k, total $6k. I think don't try to save $6k and cannot get car.
Wow.... So next time you decide to respray, will the foc do for u?
I'm not re-spraying. If spray will be foc. But it's time consuming. So I gave up.
Actually why not consider leaving the car 2days with them? Let them Do swee swee for youBut topping up $6k is considered margin you pay to get Coe.

I scared not swee but create new things. Anyway the boot lip after polished looks good. Above number plate is somehow hidden.
Hi, does anyone knows our DRL, is it on all the time? Even when headlights are on? I just noticed it. I thought that it should turn off when headlights are on.

I would say not 1 or 2 bid can get the COE. �It depend on which Tier u took. There are e Tier, Tier 1 - Tier 3, Tier 1 is the highest price u got to pay which mean higher COE rebate, higher chances of getting COE within 1 to 2 bids
Now got no more tier system bro... just one price only... check the Sonata thread. I posted the price list I got for my Sonata.I would say not 1 or 2 bid can get the COE.

If C&C has more of such customers then they also happy. Less work to do. I just went today after I left my car for 1.5 days to do my 10k servicing even though only 6.5k as I seldom drive out and also do the bumper seams respray and replacement of chrome door trim belt as they damaged it. I also managed to get my rubber seals replaced as it is cut with a pen knife when I do carbon fiber pillar so also a relief that it is a set. The respray of bumper seams seems ok but not perfect anyway not going to stare at it anyway. Perfect is to respray whole bumper which I do not see the need as there is no rock chips damage as yet.
�
BTW any guys here received calls from C&C about the purchase of your car?
What do you mean receive calls about the purchase of your car? Meaning, notify to make full payment? Or collect car? Or recall for servicing? Or what?

It is just the seams small sections less than 3 cm the biggest and no one really bother to look at it anyway. Looks better than when I touch up a lot better. The respray door done recently due to the huge dent seems to blend well which I give the thumbs up except the lame mistakes they made. Anyway nothing is perfect besides my car just reached 7 mths and they say they never seen a clean car like mine for its age. Needless to say that white car is the worse color other than black to maintain.

Yes and the re-sprayed part might peel as its not bonded properly as compared to factory spray. That's why I chose not to spray.

Ha caused by C&C themselves as they dismantled the bumper and reinstall to hit the body thus resulting the corner seams to peel. Respray whole door is the big dent caused by flying object which PDR cannot make 100% repair as the paint reflection will be wavy so body filler and respray is the only option. My chrome belt trim is because they accidently polish it and resulting the chrome to be full of swirls and deep scratches. It looks cloudy too after the damage. Maybe unlucky bah but still enjoying the ride despite the many inconvenience caused to me.

I not sure about how big the alignment issue is. If its not address properly may get even bigger due to the vibration as you drive. Just check your car properly before driving home else you be making a lot of unnecessary trips. Generally they helped me do a lot of free repairs, loan cars even taxi which is appreciated.�

If you want complain after warranty is paying time which is not worth it.

I never understand why some people don't make any effort to clean their car, new or old. It doesn't need to be spotless but at least keep it clean once a month? Some cars are so dirty you can see their hand marks around the door frame and boot area.

I washed my car at least twice a week. Cannot tahan when see fingerprints around doors and dusty. In other countries like USA, Europe, Malaysia , people don't keep their cars very clean. As long haul drive will make the cars very dirty and a snow can damage the paintwork, and roads de-icing salts. I used to drive a Ford Focus in New York and there's no point keep it clean and spotless. Other road users will just hit your car while parking.
May I know what's the fc for our k3? I just finished the 1st tank of petrol and it was 10km/L only. Abit disappointing. 70% highway 30% city. Light footed.

I washes mine more than you. Probably 4 times per week the most as my work area is in the industrial area so very dusty especially after light shower resulting in polka dots. I like my car to look new always as the car represent my personality. :). I washes my 10 yrs old car similarly so it still look brand new inside out when I hand over to C&C.

You are not alone. I travel about 60% highway and 40% city and achieve max 12km/l. Mainly the morning traffic jam a lot as well. For a Kia is normal bah. My last 10 yrs old car not problem achieving this mileage but that one is a Toyota. Surprising the old ride is heavy with equipments with big rims.

Agreed to some is just a form of transport and suppose to serve us. But for some like me is the passion. It looks good I feel good. Like my dad always point that I love the car so much. Example if I see the road splatter with gravel and debris, I normally drive slow over but for him is run over and no business to see the paintwork damaged and said is normal. After that I have to settled the mess.
It's a transport tool but I can't stand a dirty car. I wouldn't go out of the house in dirty clothes either. But I suppose SG culture is such that you actually see people in slippers at Orchard as though they going to the beach... No effort to at least look presentable in sandals or shoes.To them, a car is just a transport tool
