awd was on special indent basis. some of us got our AWD after a 3-month wait

 

pity if they really discontinue that. 

 

Ya.... now i sort of regret not indenting the AWD previously.

Hi all,

 

Just colored my black Sorento EX on Thursday. Love the drive and the stance it gives on the road. Only thing the EX does not have which I would like to change is the lights. It looks a little weird with the white day time running lights with the normal yellowish tint headlights. Anyone has lobang to change it to HID?

 

I am also looking for door visors. Saw someone posted that they have it on eBay. But I want to install it quick. Anyone knows where to get it locally?

 

My friend who drives the Peugeot 5008 told me that we can pump diesel a the CNG refilling stations. Usually taxis got here but they have diesel pumps and it cost around $0.70+ per litre. Anyone tried those? It's 25% lower than the normal patrol stations.

 

Cheers!

Thanks OeteM. Cnergy is at Toh guan right? Do we queue with the taxis who are pumping the CNG or can bypass the queue to the front for diesel?

Yes there's one at Toh Guan. Usually no queue at diesel.

 

I used to pump $110 for my old car, for 420km. Now am pumping $47 for 750-800km. Loving it.

It sound great on the price Cnergy, but just to check whether the Diesel there is Euro 5 grade?

According to the guy at Cnergy, it is Euro 5. Could not find anything on the internet to support our refute this.

There are 2 rows of 18 pumps for Diesel. I think another 3 rows for CNG. Like what Fungyee77 said, no queue. Alot of lorry, van and taxi. All of them looking at my car. I think they are thinking how come got normal car comes and pump diesel.

I went to Kia showroom on last Saturday, the SE talk me that Kia will be bringing US model Sorento end of the year or early next year, which come with 7 inch touch screen. Kia will then offer to the existing 2015 sorento customer an option to upgrade, but got to pay for it and they do not know how much will this cost.

 

So better to wait for it :)

Hmm... it will be interesting to see how they are able to sell the us version of Sorento here since US cars are left hand drive.
