Hello, can anyone advise if we must get insurance from C&C as part of the contract to purchase or we can get from outside? I think theirs is from AIG (dunno what plan though).

Turns out for the 1st year the insurance is provided by C&C Kia and AIG as a package for new car. I think it's similar to Mitsubishi Auto Protector plan.

Lazy to quote so I just type as I remember.

 

I am using FXD900, ZMC brought in a new model (with LCD screen), supposedly 'better' but it does look big to me when I see it. Didn't see how it will look like after install so cannot comment. Installation done by ZMC and won't void warranty. Connect direct to battery with parking mode, auto cut off at 13V. If you didn't charge your battery enough in the day time, it may not last you whole night (I drive very short distance daily).

 

PPS, I am using Revolz too, also 1+4 plan. My friend went with a different coating with them which can last 1 year instead of mine 6 mths. But like some bro above said, it won't exactly last 6 months. Nonetheless it is better than nothing, having the car polished frequently help to remove the light scratch marks too. There are some cheaper option out there too. Again like the bro said, Revolz is very pro and they charge at premium.

 

Kia default like OCC said has to be 1st year AIG. I am using them for my 2nd year, Auto Protector plan any workshop too with $100 service voucher free. I didn't change to other because my friend helped me sourced for quote (in insurance biz) from 6 different companies (I didn't ask which 6) and concluded my AIG one is still cheaper, so I just continue with AIG.

I also don't quote Liao..

 

How is your K3 so far? Any major problem.? I will collecting mine somewhere around sept/Oct.

 

Still checking on in-cat camera and pps. I have been asking around :)

 

Frankly speaking, I still don't see many K3 on road even after 1 year. I only regularly see one a

near my work place (Boon Peng Road) & near my place (glittering metal, bukit batik west)

K3, city drive should be ok. I am heavy footed so when I drive in Msia I find it not powerful enough. On SG road no issue.

 

In-car camera really depends on individual. Some prefer the image quality, some prefer the parking mode, some prefer the ease of access.

 

K3, I think all in all maybe sold 200-300 units in SG? My pure wild guesstimation. I've seen around 20 diff K3 on SG road in the past year. In JB, there's a lot more.

hi, i collected my golden beat k3 with brown interior in july last year. since then, the ride has been good, many pple commented on the handsome sleek look and the continental looking interior. fuel consumption ard 10km/l which isnt too good i feel. maybe more power will be good too, think my next ride must have turbo and at least 200bhp for a family saloon..haha

The only reason I'm not placing k3 as my 1st choice is the fc,,,.. What's your driving route pattern? 50/50 between expressway and urban?.. although I spend more time on expressway (70/30), I have a heavy right foot..

K3 priced at 103k now? How come the price different between K3 and elantra so big?

Big brother must earn more mah... Hehehe...

Can share what is your FC?

Also, can elaborate what is ventilated seats?

 

Sorry for so many questions but interested to understand the diff features of this car. It comes with cruise control and memory seats as well right?
