Kia Stonic

[DylanChen]

Compared to torq converter 4-6psd auto, I felt marginal diff. I can use +/- mode on auto gb n gear shift still not lag. Maybe more useful in car race u think

 

4sp & 6sp auto big diff..

 

dsg / dct even bigger diff....than any auto gb, its so much better.

 

drive more..... drive more.....

This would have been great if they had included the 1.4 T-GDi engine for it. The 1.0 T-GDi 3 cyl is not really my cup of tea and the Fuel consumption isn't that great either.

That would have put the Stonic as a CAT B car?

In Singapore urban context, what constitutes a <great> fuel consumption for non-hybrid or non-EV cars? 15km/l? 18km/l?

Anyone knows if the Stonic is running on timing belts or timing chains?

 

Any bros/sisters signed up for the Kia Care Service plan with the $2K servicing credits with their Stonic purchase with C&C?

look at i30t with 1.4t engine downtuned to 128bhp to fit into cat A.

15 to 18 kml would be considered good in my books

I doubt they will respond, dealing with C&C during car purchases is already a pain. 

[RogerNg_185295]

can C&C ignore this? they will face the wrath of social media.

They already stated it's to test wheel alignment.

They already stated it's to test wheel alignment.

So.... other service centers also practice this?

Is it particular to this car only? Or this model only?

 

If it’s really their reply then I think people will have more questions for them

C&C only compensated by giving a free servicing and to top up petrol on the nxt servicing.

Accelerator kena flawed like that before 1k servicing. Maybe effects will only be felt further down the road cos engine not properly run in

Can 1 servicing fix it?

Maybe engine and gearbox suffered irreparable damage wor

Very possible. This is what will happen when the car is given to an irresponsible staff

Oops. I mean floored, not flawed

Engines and gearbox are not built of ice and will not explode if floored <1000km. The reason for the running in is for the engine components to blend in any excessive friction.

 

As long as you don't exceed 4000rpm or 130km/h regularly, engine is expected to perform normally long term

Yes sir!

Flooring the accelerator will check if the wheel alignment is off right? Otherwise the car will pull one side very obviously if the alignment is off...
