[avoocc]

I got mine this evening at Ubi. On way back bit nervous coz rush hour at PIE. Motrex works seamlessly with Android auto on Xperia. Need to explore further though..

 

HI 

 

Can i ask , when you sign the agreement to buy, when you got the COE and when you finally get the delivery of the new car.

 

I am trying gauge the whole process and time, this will help me in road tax and insurance on my old car

Took me abt a month from getting coe till get car. I took my car one day after it was registered.

 

I asked my se to skip e first round of coe bidding in may coz i was deciding on e colour. So adding on this period abt 1.5months.

[Oinkoink1999]

The difference as i noted here

 

1, the head and rear light lamp, EX comes with Led 

2, side mirrors , EX motorized and with signal light

3,  Door handles , EX follow the color you choose

4,  Ex comes with leather seat

5, Ex have reading lights, ( lights near the rear mirror)

6, EX have rear aircon blower

7, EX have rear seat separator

8,  EX 16 inch wheel verses 15 on the L

 

Hope this helps 

EX comes with multi-function steering wheel.

EX comes with three modes of driving.

just a note, you cannot request rebates on road tax but insurance you can. Just need to send them the car de-registration details. Ask from yr SE . Hope this helps.

So is the website information all correct? Sunroof etc.. those that put * sx/sport model only , will have those accessories? As now ex and sx difference of 10k according to their pricelist..

 

Having a sunroof doesn't mean it's sports trim? Are you looking at the second hand cars section?

There is indeed a sports sx with body kit amd sunroof, HID and spoilet for the new FL. Just like the previous pre FL sports sx edition

.

 

This is how it looks like

[Dannnn]

Yeah im referring to this, and now only got 3 trim. L , EX and SX sports. SX sports is 10k more than EX, so if take SX sport, will have all the features as describe in the website?

Hi,

 

Having a 2015 K3.

Need to change the battery. What battery size can it take ?

Any idea on the rough cost ?

 

Thanks in advance :)

See if your battery is the same as the latest models:

 

CMF60L-BCI

12V

60Ah (20HR)

92RC

550CCA

440A

 

Equivalent is Amaron 85D23L. But some say can get premium series Din 55 or Din 66

 

Estimated cost (not the cheapest ever, just average)

Din 55 $150

Din 66 $160

85D23L $120

 

Since ur battery 2 year old or thereabouts, i would change it for peace of mine. Almost 2 years can change Liao.

I just had mine changed at Kia service center, $140.

I just had mine changed at Kia service center, $140.

$140 plus GST?

 

Shld b the original Korean one , not the Amaron brand we get from outside?

 

$140 not too bad I guess.. $20-$40 more than outside. Still considered reasonable.

 

Not sure if it's a requirement to change battery w them to maintain warranty.

[iceraider]

Can i ask. For solar film, is it stick on e outside or inside? Or both

[Whattheheck]

K3 SX Pre-FL model.

I was driving from town back home. Driving at 90-100km/h. 

Gentle acceleration and over taking.

I didn't realised I bought a hybrid model. Lol.

[doraemon69sg]

Any MCF members bought the L version and add-on leather seats and leather steering ? Need to top-up how much? I am ok with L features but need leather seats/steering. Thanks in advance! How about promotion price for L at $79,999?

[flashbang]

Usually no requirement to change battery with AD. But $140 is a good price, save time to go another workshop to change. Only question is AD got replace battery the correct way? Or they just plug out and make you lose all your settings?
