Woobala 1st Gear February 10, 2017 Share February 10, 2017 Hi all, Recently set my mind on getting a K3 SX (2017 facelift), as I like the sleekness and aesthetics of the car. Sought my friend's opinions and he gave a dead NO GO without a bulge. He commented that main issues with Kia is the engine, which will give rise to problems after 5 years. I've not driven a Kia before, let alone K3, therefore wish to seek some advice from existing owner bros here, whether indeed there would be future engine problems, or problems of similar..thanks...

As long as the car is maintained regularly, it should have no problem lasting 10 years of your COE... http://www.jdpower.com/microsites/kia/home plus the K3 looks so good!!! no brainer to buy. Also the K3 won sedan of the year in 2015 in Singapore. sDSC09569 2 by ricleosg, on Flickr Edited February 10, 2017 by ricleosg 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your friend used to drive a Kia and had engine problems, I suggest you take tk his comments with a punch of salt ba. My friends drove the previous gen and previous previous gen of Kia cerato, all had no problem. Most prob you friend is the usual Japan car supporter. My parents also like that. Keep thinking their new Altis better than mine. Until they heard about my fuel consumption is 12-14km/lit. While their Altis only giving them max 11km/lit. Then they change their perception about Korea cars. My own co workers, when I bought k3, all mock me. Say Korean car. Ugly, lousy. Mazda 3 better. So he go and buy Mazda 3. Guess what, within 1 week, his heads up display spoil. Within 6 months, the whole leather wrapping of his steering wheel peel off. Both times he brought it back to agent to repair, agent can only tell him, too many cars, no parts. Wait for next servicing. Mazda sg's after sales service known to be quite bad. My point is every car brand sure got lemon car. Cos the QC assurance is never 100%. It is not efficient in manufacturing point of view. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preceisly...my friend has been driving several cars makes, subaru, toyota, honda, etc and also continental models but just not a kia. He even commented that if wanna get a korean car, hyundai should be the choice. When i told him I have decided a Kia K3 over Honda Vezel, he immediately said I would regret my decision.. I think I would regret if I got the Vezel instead...lol and Ricleosg, exactly the vehicle is such an head-turner on the road, even without additional kitting.

Alright, one more K3 member, signing in! btw Kia and hyundai belong to the same group of companies, and use the same engine/transmission platforms. in fact many spare parts between the k3/elantra and previous forte/avante were known to be interchangeable. so if your friends say hyundai is reliable and kia is not, he really doesnt know his stuff. another pic of the beautiful k3! s5D4_6613 by ricleosg, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
