Hi guys. I contacted rikecool and was told to call to call 62972422 to book an appointment. However, they also highlighted that this is done on a goodwill basis from rikecool to Kia customers and not from AD to customers so we should be nice to the C&C sales guys as it’s not them offering it. Let’s play nice and enjoy our toys together

I thought the Rikekool solar film comes standard for Kia cars. So what is this about?

The added sunshade at the top of windscreen (big black bar across).

the prices are attractive indeed...

understand the discount reasons for demo and showroom cars

but what about warehouse cars?

means they are stored in warehouse for long time?

I think these are spare stock that just came in as part of the latest batch. So trying to entice buyers for these selected colors.

Prices are attractive, but the downside is you need to trade in your existing car, get insurance through C&C and min loan requirements.

The low trade in value is enough to eat up any savings from the new car price.

Thanks for the first explanation..

In that case, trading in mine might be worth it, as it's a renewed COE car coming to 14 years old, and has left 1 year before need to scrap

Agree that you may not get value if you were to trade in relatively newer cars to C&C, but if your existing ride is a COE car or one that is left with <1year, the trade-in offer is reasonable. 

As for the insurance by AIG, the 2-year option is quite reasonably priced in my opinion.

At the end of the day, it depends on whether you like the Stonic. Feedback from the bros who own the ride seem positive.

Have any bros encounter their Stonic feel a big sluggish after the 1K servicing at C&C? No longer as nippy as before, especially in the higher gears >5?

No leh... at 1000km , they changed to synthetic oil, should be smoother?

Give it a while for the new oil to warm up.

Smoother yes, not as <raspy> as before. But still feel less nippy. FC also does not seem to be improving. 🤔

 Stonic SX is quite a nice to drive car in terms of it's quick pick up turbo speed in short distance and low Fuel consumption for 1.0L. However there's one design imperfection is it's front body is a little short it's difficult to gauge the distance between the front vehicle..

You will get used to it. So how is your FC like?

I usually pump $80 for my fuel and it can last for 12 days so for normal driving with the Auto Start & Stop system turned on. This car can be quite fun to drive but cannot do well at tailgating.. 😄
