Agreed, also prefer the design of the previous forte than the new K3.

Havent got the chance to see the real car yet, but based on the photo i prefer the previous design, but i mean the SX spec with the bodykit version la. The EX version not nice.

To be honest, K3 is value for money....when it was 90K. If need to go above 100K, I think some people will switch brand.

 

I know K3 has more features but as it's new car, how good the performance, quality n durability, no one knows... On the other hand, some people may think the specs/material/workmanship to be behind conti or jap.

 

If I have to buy this car at around 120K, I will seriously thinking switch to Ford Focus, the drivi experience is much better and few will argue Focus is safer car. I may even fork out more and straight go i45/K5.

Actually if you said that if need to fork out $120K for K3, might as well go for focus or even i45/K5. Some people might argue that might as well fork out even more and can buy conti liao?! Sometimes there is no end on this. Cause there is no right or wrong, and everyone have their own preference and views.

the K3 in the flesh seems bigger

1st of all, if someone has a budget of 180-200k, they will be looking at Audi/Merc/BMW.

 

If one has a budget of 150K, it is possible to stretch further and go for above.

 

If one's budget is 120K, to stretch it to 150K is 30K, still possible. If they can stretch even further, then let's be honest, they won't start with K3.

 

Same thing, if one budget is 90K, then yea maybe he will top up 15K for it. But maybe he will not too. I will not though.

The wheelbase is the same as elantra, but somehow I feel elantra is bigger even. Interior wise, K3 still beat Elantra in my view. Too bad the coe is killing this car. What a shame.

Saw this car on the road in China last year. Looks OK but I think everything underneath the cover are similar to the old one.

Interior seems like K3 looks better than elantra, at least there is an air-con ventilation for rear seats. Although coe now is high but there are still people buy this car lo. Like when elantra launched back then, coe also not low and yet still many people buy.

i think its gonna be a bestseller for CNC. locals are now used to paying 120k for a basic car.

Lol, this is called no choice rather than used to. For those people who can afford a car, and if they want to buy or change car, they will still buy despite of the high car price now. I know a few person also got a car with COE range between 50K to 70K.
